I believe a limited release is the only way they can get an exception to Nintendo's policy of the MSRP being the same for digital and physical release. Initially limited release was defined by number produced. They wanted everyone to be able to get one who really cares that much, so they reconfigured it to limited time window but with unlimited quantity. Still limited though.
If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Nintendo. They make more off of digital sales being also the store and so created the policy to steer people towards the eshop. Limited Run is heroically doing what they can within these constraints.
I'm not sure what LR's arrangement is with Best Buy which allows the games to be purchased after the pre-order window like a regular retail release but with LR branding.
There are a lot of small innovations in the Amico, but I don't see how it finds its killer app with such a budget. "Industry experience" never adds up to an auteur game designer.

@N00BiSH Perhaps they're saving that for an Atari Jaguar themed keyboard.

Re: Random: Did You Know The German Zelda: Link's Awakening Has Secret Music And Adult Dialogue?
Is this why only the DX version is on NSO?
