<p>At the start of the year, a Switch box art for <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/dragons_lair_trilogy">Dragon’s Lair Trilogy</a></strong> was spotted on Nintendo’s official website. At the time, it was enough to convince fans a physical release on the way. It even revealed Limited Run Games would be handling the hard copy publishing rights.</p>
<p>Fast forward to the month of May and LRG is now offering a <em>limited</em> collector’s edition for hardcore Dragon’s Lair fan. This $79.99 version includes a poster, enamel pin and themed papercraft, with pre-orders opening this Friday. Below is a look at what you’ll get, along with the official announcement:</p>

</blockquote>
<p>The owner of Limited Run Games, <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/LimitedRunJosh/status/1130563393931423746">Josh Fairhurst</a>, even chimed in to reveal some more information about what to expect:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“This is a premium box that has light-activated sound which plays when the drawer is pulled out (it plays the “Lead on adventurer – your quest awaits!” line from the game’s attract mode).”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Of course, there’ll also be a standard edition made available on the same day (24th May), if you would prefer this.</p>
<p>As we’ve previously noted, the trilogy contains <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/dsiware/dragons_lair">Dragon’s Lair</a></strong>, <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/dsiware/dragons_lair_ii_time_warp">Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp</a></strong> and <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/dsiware/space_ace"><strong>Space Ace</strong></a> – where you take control of Ace instead of Dirk. These games are comprised of cinematic quick-time events with animation from Don Bluth. The first game was released in arcades in 1983, Space Ace came out in 1984 and Dragon’s Lair II arrived in 1991.<em><br /></em></p>
