Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space, the zany detective’s latest Switch outing, now has a free demo for skinflints everywhere.
Let’s face it, Sam & Max don’t exactly run a premium tier of detective outfits. Despite this, some of us might be a bit wary of shelling out our last few cents on a copy of Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space. Thanks to Skunkape games, you no longer need to choose between buying your very own eighties obsessed chrome plated companion and this epic adventure. This Sam & Max tale now has a free Nintendo Switch demo. Originally released in 2007 but remastered and released to Nintendo’s on the go hybrid platform, this game would normally set back players around $19.99 or local equivalent, with an extra 20% time limited discount coming to Steam and eShop platforms.
Now, players will be able to take on a starter slice of this time bending case, introducing the basic mechanics, a talking bunny thing, a dog in a suit, and a demonically unhinged North Pole. The new demo is available now on the Nintendo eShop right now.
Still Got Cash – The Collector’s Edition
For those that do have a pocket full of change left, then Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space is due to get a shiny new Collector’s Edition. The Beyond Time and Space Collector’s Edition hits shelves thanks to Limited Run games and includes all of the following:
- Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space on physical media
- Bonus features DVD containing trailers, developer’s commentary, and other video goodies from the game’s original 2007-2008 production
- Five episode postcards
- Mini print of Steve Purcell’s “Autopsy” art (originally created for the March 2007 cover of Game Developer magazine)
- Waterproof Banang sticker
- Reproduction of Telltale’s Sam & Max Season Two Case File containing a souvenir from each of the game’s five cases: “The Friendly Demon Song” on mini CD, a Tiny Tiki drink coaster, Jurgen’s rave flier, one of eight random time cards, and a Soul Train subway token
This fancy version is coming to PC ($69.99) and Nintendo Switch ($79.99). Preorders will start over on the Limited Run Games website on May 6 and stay open for 30 days.
