Croc, the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch Remake of the PS1 classic, got a limited print run. The pre-orders wrapped up in December of 2024. Rock It Games finally got the games out to backers here recently. The game is already selling for dumb amounts. I’ve $150, $200, and even $400 thrown out.

I’ve heard good things about the remake. Croc 1 is a lovely game bogged down by dated game design. Clunky controls, awkward movement, and janky camera work means cheap deaths are bound and plentiful. Still the character design and music are still charming and endearing almost 30 years later

So I’m glad the remakes did the game justice. But it’s just simply too much money. False scarcity is definitely an issue in today’s gaming market. I’m glad projects like this get released and even get physical releases at that. But the dark side of it is limited print runs. It has people FOMOing into the product. As a result, prices on the secondary market are skyrocketing.

I’m excited to get my hands on the remake at some point. But until prices come down. I’ll be sticking to my PS1 Greatest Hits version.

How about you? Will you be getting the Croc remake? Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
