artificial scarcity- so many of these are specifically bought by resellers.
even 2/3 of the local shops around me all bought new copies of their games specifically to mark up by $30.

Mega man 9&10

You know stuff at the caliber of the Odd World which to date feels like the onlly highly polished game they have released physically.
Quote from: guest on 06/06/2016, 03:26 PMYou would surprised how many IP holders they have talked to that are reluctant about doing a Limited Release like this.I'd be interested to read up on it. Any links? Also what were the IP holders reason(s) for declining?
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 06/06/2016, 03:51 PMJust from what I've heard from them talking with folks on Twitter and on forums. They approach a lot of devs at trade shows and are always trying to strike a deal if possible.Quote from: guest on 06/06/2016, 03:26 PMYou would surprised how many IP holders they have talked to that are reluctant about doing a Limited Release like this.I'd be interested to read up on it.

My assumption is that it would just add the IP holders money to have the game re-released in physical formate. Apart from getting royalties and maybe a copy of the game they wouldn't loose out on anythjng. At lest nothing I can readily think of.
Quote from: cardboardzero on 06/06/2016, 10:29 PMDoes anyone even play the games these guys release? All I see is people buying as many copies as they can so they can jack the price up. Oddworld looked ok, but some of the others? Saturday morning rpg and breach and clear looked terrible.Can't speak others.
Quote from: guest on 06/06/2016, 10:32 AMThey've at least tried to make it so you can only buy one or two copies each, rather than letting gougers buy dozens just to flip.Very much skipping Octodad myself. Out of all the games currently on tap I'm really hoping to get Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype.
The next one is Octodad and comes out on Father's Day, so odds are I'll be skipping it.

Quote from: cardboardzero on 06/06/2016, 10:29 PMDoes anyone even play the games these guys release?I will eventually. Though it ended up as a needless gesture, I bought the first one (Breach & Clear) just to support the company and in hopes that they'd do more/better games in the future; I got the second one (Saturday Morning RPG) because it looked fun and I'm a sucker for RPGs; and I bought the third title (Oddworld) because I loved playing it back in the day on PC. I skipped Futuridium, though, and can't get too excited for the next few releases: Xeodrifter, Octodad, Lost Sea (no Vita version anyway), or Soldner - X2. I'd be more willing to buy if there wasn't so dang many of 'em, but I ain't gonna shell out $30 every two weeks.
Quote from: Enternal on 06/08/2016, 09:48 AMtotally forgot about these guys, I probably would have picked up Saturday Morning RPG, but at least SÖLDNER X will be available soon. For those of you who don't have a PSTV, Walmart had these on Clearance for 19.97 and the Controller bundle ones for 29.97. Unfortunately you will have to check in store and it probably won't show up on brick seek. I picked up two a little while back and still saw them sitting in cases a 2 months ago when I checked. Most staff won't know what they are or what they look like. I only met one Walmart employee that knew what I was talking about when I mentioned Playstation TV.Is there a way to search if any lovely (in your area) still have any?
Note that the box is small and will likely be in with the bottom of the Walmart glass case with the vitas or other sony hardware.

I'd heard they were on sale a bit ago and thought about picking up another, but yeah they are all gone from my area.

Quote from: guest on 06/10/2016, 03:27 PMI can't pat LRG too hard on the back, seeing as they're intentionally limiting production numbers to feed the collectard mindset. I understand not wanting a warehouse full of unsold stock, but surely there's a middle ground between that and selling out within minutes, but they're worried that most current buyers won't buy at all if the production numbers were less constricted.They definitely know what they are doing. Like you are saying, resellers and gotta catch em alls are a big part of how they sell out. It does bother me that despite the fact that I really do want Soldner, I may not be able to get it because they are making 3200 total copies.

Pretty much the only thing they have going for them right now is the artificial demand from their insanely low production numbers, and if 7.3k copies of oddworld for the PS4/vita was enough to seriously drain their coffers, they don't have much.
Quote from: guest on 06/10/2016, 05:59 PMWhat's your point? Having agreements with IP holders doesn't mean that LRG has already paid them for the distribution rights or paid Sony for production.Ah. I had thought they had already secured the rights by paying for them. I do not know how this aspect of the video game industry works. It's mostly speculation and conjecture on my part.

I do occasionally trade them some garbage for more than I could sell it for, IF I could sell it.

They're not AAA gems, of course, but no reasonable person should expect that. If the games were good enough to go toe to toe with the best, they'd have had a normal retail release already and been priced accordingly.
Quote from: guest on 06/13/2016, 11:24 AMI heard that they tried to get Yakuza 5 a physical release but sega refused. THANK GOD, because having a "limited run" release is the same as manna dropping from heaven to flippers and collectards' hands. I'd rather not have Yakuza 5 because it only exists on PSN than not have it because copies would be gone in a quarter of second and only available at a 300% markup from an ebay seller.I greatly enjoy the Yakuza series, so much so that I bought the game digitally. I would have bought it again physically without a doubt if I could have secured one from LRG but you are completely correct about how that would have went.

Quote from: ParanoiaDragon on 06/19/2016, 02:55 AMI think I've decided to not bother getting up early to get Octo Dad. It looks like it "might" be one of those fun quirky games that I "might" enjoy....but at the same time, it looks like a game I could end up absolutely hating & getting totally frustrated with!honestly, it's a really fun game, but it's a one and done game.

After all, the whole reason for their existence is to release a limited number of physical discs/games. Anyone who just wants to play the game can buy it digitally and be done. (If the games were exclusive and otherwise unavailable, I would understand your argument.)

I don't know how dumb you think I am, but rest assured that I comprehend the meaning of "limited run games". :lol:
Quote from: glazball on 06/27/2016, 02:56 PMAlso, I bought Octodad on Father's Day and the morning run did sell out quickly. But I checked on the 2nd run and there were still copies for sale 2 days later, though it's now sold out. So to anyone who says they are just fueling the "collectard mindset" is being unfair because everyone had a chance to pick up Octodad at retail cost if they wanted it.I based my statement on all titles sold to date, not a single title produced in 40-233% greater volume and yet to be released. :roll:
Quote from: glazball on 06/27/2016, 02:56 PMPerhaps it would be more accurate to attack the "physical-copy-tard" mindset that likes to have/own an actual game.I'll attack both, thanks.
Quote from: glazball on 06/28/2016, 02:45 PMAnother point I meant to make but forgot is that Limited Run Games doesn't choose how many of each game gets made. That is up to the developer. At least, that's what I remember from their on-site FAQ which I'm too lazy now to look up.I think the smallest run you can do on a Vita/PS4 game is about 1500 copies.
I'm sure we can all get behind sending our hate towards those fucktards who, whether the game had 100 or 4500 copies made, choose to intentionally keep them sealed and never play them. Those fuckers are worse than all the flippers combined.
Quote from: Gypsy on 07/06/2016, 03:41 PMI grabbed both of the games that were up this time. Xeodrifter is definitely my thing and I'm looking forward to it. Fairly suspicious of Lost Sea but if I don't like it I plan to gift it to a friend that really likes that style of game.I ended up picking up xeodrifter for the vita. Not sure if I will 100% love it but figured what the hell from what reviews I have seen its very short and should be a good on the go game.
Quote from: Gypsy on 07/06/2016, 04:55 PMYeah you should be able to beat Xeodrifter in under 2 hours I think.Yeah, SOLDNER seems like it will have huge demand.
Soldner is only Vita I believe, so your choice it made for you. I definitely hope I can get an order in for Soldner.
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 06/06/2016, 01:42 PMI'd love them to do:This would be great. Megaman and Scott Pilgrim I hope could happen. I doubt TG16 will ever see the light of day. Maybe but either some company has to buy Hudsonsoft from Konami or Konami really makes a 180 and not pachinko games.

Quote from: Flare65 on 07/30/2016, 12:26 PMReally bugs me that those who were able to actually purchase a copy were able to buy two of them.I hear ya. And some that got it, probably don't even gaf about the game, they just see dollar signs.
They posted on their forums that they are looking into it as what happened to me seemed to happen to a lot of other people. Really disappointed.
Quote from: BlueBMW on 07/30/2016, 12:36 PMYou read their forums and its nothing but collectards. This hobby is ruined. I'm getting into something else. Maybe hiking.

Quote from: TheClash603 on 07/30/2016, 02:36 PMI am surprised people had trouble getting a game, the last few they sold were available for hours before they were out of stock. Maybe they had a game with genuine hype for once, their selection had been fairly lackluster until now.Yeah hopefully it isn't a problem going forward with more desirable games.
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 07/30/2016, 02:42 PMThat's odd. I wasn't sure what their tweet about a glitch in the system was referring to but now I get it.Nice ideas, but yeah I doubt it as well. They have their money already.
So. Jn my opinin. Doesn't this mean they should just cancel all the orders who ordered more then two? As well as do a do over and cancel anyone's order who bought it before the game went up for sale officially?
Just my thought. However I am sure that won't happen.
Also yeah what you described about stock showing up as avilable and not being able to pay for it after putting it in your cart happened to me.
Quote from: TheClash603 on 07/30/2016, 03:19 PMI also think the allowance to order 2 when there is a limited run of games is a bad idea. If they were having problems selling through stock, I would get it, but every game sells out same day. If they went back to 1 copy per person and in the event they didn't sell through their whole stock, I could understand, but I don't see this being an issue.Yeah I think they should limit it to one per person for at least a day (preferably 2-3 days) and then if it hasn't sold out (unlikely) just make it a free for all.

Sit at the order page and repeatedly press F5 until the option to add the game to cart appears. That's all I've done for every game and I haven't had any issues. Maybe I'm just lucky. idk.I had everything in order. :/
Quote from: HailingTheThings on 07/31/2016, 12:01 AMDamn, sorry guys. If you did all the things and still didn't get one then that's complete BS. I think I read on the LRG forums that they were gonna have a third go at selling them given the circumstances. Check it out.Yeah I was signed on my account for them and paypal as well. It's that stupid crap where I couldn't check out despite it saying 75% of that crap was in stock. I, like others here, kept trying until it was out of stock too. Le meh.

Quote from: guest on 08/01/2016, 11:09 AMI managed to get one, but I wish I'd bought two to sell the extra to one of you guys. At no more than 100% markup. :twisted:Did you see their garbage recent post about it on Neogaf? Hell I'll just post it here for everyone anyway.
It sucks that their order system fucked up yet again (but it's never their fault, of course), and I don't get why they allow people to buy more than one; you'd think they'd get their shit together, but it seems unlikely to ever happen when nothing's changed after 9 months and 14 games. I honestly don't think they give a fuck - all they care about is being able to recoup their money quickly and brag to potential clients that they sold 3200 copies in minutes.
Quote from: LRG on Gaf"OK, there are clearly some misunderstandings here. The huge chunk of inventory that disappeared before the add to cart button went live was not a glitch nor anyone buying the games early. It was me adjusting the supply down for the first batch! I usually do this at 8AM prior to a sale but I went Pokemon GO hunting and ended up doing it later (around 9:50, I believe).Comparing Soldner to Octodad. LOL.
Only two orders came in before 10AM. They were from the same guy and both were for the Franchise Bundle. They were swiftly canceled and the guy was then banned. We couldn't list the bundle until the inventory was freed up through the cancelation and the guy banned (because he would have come back).
The simple fact is that 12,000 unique customers showed up on Friday - up from about 6,000 on July 4th. 12,000! We did not expect this. Söldner-X 2 went in to manufacturing back in June when Octodad took nearly 3 days to sell out (and about 15 hours to sell 3K copies on Vita at two per customer). There was nothing that suggested the game would be this popular. Many have said "It was a SHMUP, you should have known!" - I can't just wildly assume we should print 5K of every SHMUP in the same way I can't assume 5K for every RPG would be right.
We have to make sure our releases sell out quickly because the money is immediately invested back into the next game. I'm literally wiring the money from Friday to Sony tomorrow morning for our September releases. If games start piling up and don't sell, we're finished - plain and simple. We can't just recklessly increase runs or overprint games. Clearly what happened with Söldner-X was specific to it because Deadline still lasted two days.
We're definitely reevaluating certain print runs right now but know we can't fix the sizes of runs already in production (notably, Rainbow Moon).
Finally, RE: Shopify. It's not the cheapest solution, it's the best. No other eCommerce solution serves what we are doing better. In fact, the other solutions we tried prior to choosing Shopify were trash with absolutely terrible inventory management. MONDO has been doing limited run merch way longer than we have - I'd consider them the leader in this sector. They use Shopify too. Most stores use it (vBlank, Indiebox, Fangamer - they all use it). It has a lot of quirks and issues, but nothing beats it. We are going to be doing a lot of work on the site in the coming weeks and will likely invest money im hiring a professional to do that work. I doubt we can improve the checkout situation much, but we can certainly close loopholes and tighten things up.
Thank you to everyone who is sticking with us through these growing pains. Sorry to anyone who missed out! Know that there was no funny business here - the cart loophole was not widely known. Söldner-X 2 sold out legitimately, lightning fast. "
Quote from: BlueBMW on 08/01/2016, 02:23 PMIf they are so worried about having the money and not over producing games why not just switch it over to a pre-order only system. Then just produce as many as are ordered and paid for. Oh wait but then they wouldn't be as zomg limited run rare and the collectors/flippers wouldn't buy them.Fucking nailed it. =D>

If they decided they wanted 10K copies then that would be much easier to deal with vs like the 3000 or so they've been doing recently.
And limited run games responded with a desire to partner up.
However. With how soldier X2 went. I'd be VERY fearful that limited run games would mess up the release lol. Or more precisely that my ability to get a copy would be piss poor lol.

Quote from: Flare65 on 08/23/2016, 09:11 AMI wish Limited Run Games would just do pre orders. The open up pre orders for a week for an upcoming title.

I don't want something just because it's "limited". Granted most of their games I have never heard of.
I'm usually working when they release games (morning and afternoon) and anything Vita sells out in about 15 minutes or less.
Quote from: guest on 08/23/2016, 10:31 AMDon't hold your breath. I was told that 'maybe they could get me something extra' for being honest and sending back the extra Oddworld, but the only thing I got was a paypal refund for $2.24 (exact postage).They just responded to my email that they sent it in the mail today and thanked me for reminding them/being patient. Will post update when it comes in the mail.

Quote from: Groover on 09/24/2016, 01:54 PMNice video. I watched it this morning. I tried to buy Soldner X but it sold out too quickly. That is also nuts to learn that if a game didn't seel out in hours people would start messaging about refunding the purchase. I like that they are making physical releases of digital games. I understand the limited nature in that they are a small comapny and can only extend themselves so far. I just wish they didn't sell out in hours and had a bigger run. I mean they could limit it for sale this month only or week. It is just frustrating when you stalk a webpage for weeks and then when it happens miss out by one hour. I think they are a little too limited considering all the talk about the importance of physical releases you think they would release more. I do like that they are looking at expanding this. Also the developers can do another run if they wish no one is stopping them.That is an interesting point. The developers could take the success or possible failure of their game selling as a que to release their game themselves.

Quote from: guest on 10/24/2016, 01:30 PMWill this one also be incompatible with PSTV and you'll never hear anything about it from LRG because they're le dumb?I hope not. I commented on the tweet to see if I'd get some sort of response.
Quote from: guest on 10/25/2016, 09:22 AMI like the normal pre-order route, but it's hard to get excited about a vs. fighter.... even if it is rather cute and funny. Any of ya play it? I'd be more inclined to buy it if it's easy to pick up and play, not requiring tons of practice and memorization of combos, reversals, etc. (because I am le dumb).You'd probably hate skullgirls man. just being honest.
So the Shantae pairs are #24 and #25 (available this Friday) and Volume is #28 (available the following Friday), but what happened to #26 and #27?
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 10/25/2016, 12:39 PMI am guessing "the silver case" PC was either #26 or #27.No, I believe they said Silver Case was going to be separate of the numbered scheme since it's a PC release.
I don't know what the other game was myself.
Quote from: guest on 10/25/2016, 03:46 PMAoi Blink and Maniac Pro WrestlingWeird never even knew they were released let alone available. Wonder if they sold them separate from their site?
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 10/29/2016, 06:39 AMYeah I was able to get my order of each game. Thought about getting a soundtrack. But let's be honest. I'll never listen to them. And I don't have a YouTube show to feature the music in. Sooo.I think you mean Pirate's Curse. Risky's Revenge was, until LRG brought it out, only ever available digitally. Hence the big draw for many people on that one. Also the Kaufman soundtracks were a no brainer to me, that guy is amazing.
I was tempted to buy two of each game. However, that would only have been if there were still copies of the game available after the second batch went up. Yes they had the option to buy two per customer. I felt it best to allow fans to get at lest one copy first.
Granted Ricky's revenge is also available on the 3DS now as a physical copy and even the silver box just got announced for the PS4 in physical form. Lol.

Sooo.What element said pirates curse had a physical release but risky revenge was digital only.I played,pirates curse back in 2015 on the wii-u and i really enjoyed the game. So buying a physical copy for PS4 was a no-brainer for me plus i don't have a 3DS.

I wish more games would support that.
Quote from: guest on 11/10/2016, 05:29 PMYeah lack of local Co-op is bullshit. At least nintendo tries to preserve that part of gaming.Amen. It's completely asinine that to play some games with a friend I would need two consoles, two copies of the game and an internet connection. For this reason my Dreamcast, Saturn, Gamecube and Wii see the most use when playing with friends. Also have had some good times on PS2 with stuff like Champions of Norrath.

Quote from: Medic_wheat on 12/16/2016, 11:02 AMI was able to get both games. Mind you I hovered around like a hawk before the sale went live and was loaded in. If that made any doffernace.My friend and I were logged into LRG and paypal beforehand. Both of us got it in the cart within half a minute. I was able to check out and my friend wasn't. Seems like luck of the draw.
Interestingly enough I noticed when I went to check out I was told I was "waiting in line" to complete the checkout process.
I saw they had a three pack bundle for the odd world. It seemed interesting only for the blue variant cover which I liked more then the other two. But not enough to buy three copies of the same game. So I'll probably just custom print the cover I liked and slide it over the one I get.

Quote from: Gypsy on 12/16/2016, 06:23 PMI noticed that as well.

I really wish they would come out and say when their vita games will or will not be ps tv compatible. As for me it could affect my desision to purchase their vita games. As more often then not they offer their vita games for the PS4 and I'd like to know which version will meet my needs.

I only really want Aqua Kitty out of the more recent ones coming out, so yay.
Then I realized they released 5000 games and I actually spent $1000000 on their budget games last year... this was the first batch I skipped, will only be buying the ones I really want from now on. Seems like they all sell out anyway, so the company hardly needs my support.

Their release schedule makes it even worse, making it so you have to pay shipping and handling (pay $5 for $2 worth of stamps) one week just to turn around and do it again a week later; can't they combine that shit?

That shipping charge always bothered me as well. It was $2.60 for 1-2 games, now it's $2.77. Just be honest about shipping...
Quote from: TR0N on 01/31/2017, 01:11 AMI was waiting for the physical release of skull girls,which i did preorder. Now i get the e-mail it's released has been delayed due to a license and technical issue :PBut it's not their fault!
Quote from: ParanoiaDragon on 02/03/2017, 01:49 AM2 Vita games tomorrow, might get The Swapper, not sure about Curses & Chaos. Might be fun.....but hard to say..I've got swapper on PC.
Quote from: bartre on 02/03/2017, 04:51 AMI've got swapper on PC.I'm guessing it wears a fedora and sips premium columbian bean coffee on an outdoor patio while browsing the Huffington post on a Macintosh?
I gotta say it seems.... pretentious...
Quote from: guest on 02/03/2017, 10:21 AMDamn, I got fucked over by their piece of shit order system again.I had all the items in my cart at 9:00 AM and couldn't check out.
It'd be nice if they'd switch to something that actually works, but they never will. As long as their shit sells to someone, they don't give a fuck about their customers.

Quote from: DragonmasterDan on 02/03/2017, 10:34 AMI decided to pass on Swapper but I generally don't have trouble ordering and would be happy to pass them on at cost to either of you.

Quote from: Medic_wheat on 02/03/2017, 06:05 PMGot my order in for curses on vita. Happy now.Yeah I ended up getting this one, looks fun.
Quote from: guest on 02/03/2017, 06:17 PMThanks for the offer, Gypsy, but I managed to snag one in round two.LOLS. I was only gonna try to buy if you or Dan wanted me to. Like if I'm forwarding it to someone on a forum that just likes games that is great, fuck dealing with Ebay headaches for like $10-15.
Flip it on ebay for max gouge! There's already a bunch of 'em up for double or more. :roll:
Quote from: TheClash603 on 02/04/2017, 02:30 AMThe 10 AM round sells out immediately for the more desired games, but 6 PM usually takes at least 10 minutes for liked games and can take a few hours for the shit. Scalpers get up early, better off sleeping in and getting round 2.yeah, this is generally true.
Quote from: guest on 01/31/2017, 02:55 PMI'd rather they do it right and get it pushed out with all the most recent patches and everything than get it half finished.Thought by now skull girls all ready had all the patches.Japan got it's physical release last year so dunno what is the hold up for the na one.
Quote from: Gypsy on 02/03/2017, 09:29 AMI think Swapper looks fairly interesting. Nice looking platformer with puzzles. Maybe I'm missing something?Time they have released a few other games with similar if not identical game play to swapper. Volume comes to mind. So I didn't feel the urge to buy it. Curses looked different and more fun. Very arcade like with the whole score aspect and single screen game play.

Quote from: geise on 04/04/2017, 09:13 AMI'll be honest. I hate this Limited Run shit. I hope you get one necro. Ys is not a game that should be released in Limited Run fashion. The fact most have to sit at their computer screen hitting F5 or reload on their phone to get a game is sad. "but it's limited run!" I also paid way less than what they want and have a soundtrack cd and artbook...straight from Falcom themselves.yeah, I really wish they would just do preorder stuff like they did with skullgirls
Quote from: bartre on 04/04/2017, 04:05 PMI can't help but feel that because the majority of those who preordered are incapable of showing paticmace and demanding their game or a refund on twitter and such. They won't be very inclined to do more pre orders due to cisterns acting like two year olds.Quote from: geise on 04/04/2017, 09:13 AMI'll be honest. I hate this Limited Run shit.

Quote from: glazball on 04/04/2017, 05:40 PMWith as much bullshit that seems to spew from developers for almost every work in progress, I hope Limited Run never does another pre-order again. I'm a very patient person, but I hate being strung along indefinitely.I didn't like the style/design of the game. With that said I felt the game itself would be no differ t then if I played a older iteration of it. So I passed.
Did anyone here pick up Pang Adventures? I'm kinda surprised it hasn't gotten more public love on the forums! I admit I'm a bit rusty but really looking forward to it. And Astebreed of course - that game looks incredible.
Quote from: glazball on 04/15/2017, 11:53 AM@Punch - I've been playing Pang Adventures and it's a blast. No worries!Neat I'll check it out. Off I though the WiiU was region locked. Granted I should probably look at the list first.
@Medic_wheat - Here's a thread I found on cheapassgamer that seems pretty up to date. A list of all smaller and obscure physically released games. The list includes PS4, Vita, Wii U, XBone. Some of them did not get a NA release but are not region locked. It's a pretty handy list.

Slash, slash, slash, slash...... dash, slash, slash, slash.
I'll give it some more attention but so far pretty let down. Seems all flash and no substance so far.
Quote from: schweaty on 04/21/2017, 06:02 PMConsidering dariusburst but goddamn $60 feels like a ton of money. Especially when I'm getting AAA titles for 35 or less a few months after they are released. I would pay $40, but I wouldn't be happy about it.They say it's due to contract the price is set by the oubsliher.
Quote from: Gypsy on 04/22/2017, 01:18 PMI paid retail for the Japanese version and didn't regret it. Has a lot of depth for a shootun.

Quote from: schweaty on 04/24/2017, 09:17 AMAnd I'm out again. The ps tv version is more expensive than the ps4 version with LESS features. This is retardedI plan on attempting for the limited run vita game. I think the only feature missing between the vita and PS4 is local co op.
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 04/25/2017, 10:31 PMUnfortunately there doesn't seem to be any plans for a pre order to meet demand so what ever print run there is will be a blood bath. With this much media attention it will be hard to get a copy.This is surprising to read. Why all the excitement? I really don't understand. Night Trap is already PHYSICALLY AVAILABLE. This stinks of nothing but a cash grab.
With that said this is still a pleasant announcement.
Quote from: guest on 04/26/2017, 05:13 PMI assume that's it, just better quality video and a high-res HUD. But that is a different game, more so than doing both PS4 and Vita versions of other games anyway.Damn fine post and very choice inclusion of Dear Esturd. =D>
I think they'll do just about anything if the devs are willing; there's enough collectards out there to buy up 2000 copies, even if the game is questionable. I don't think this one is that bad of an idea, though, as there's a lot of nostalgia for such "classic" games and lots of peeps only do game on new hardware. I won't be buying it, but it's a damned sight better than Breach and Clear or Esther.
Quote from: Joe Redifer on 04/26/2017, 05:33 PMI had heard that Limited Run Games was surprised by the reaction to Night Trap and will likely increase their order with Sony for the print run. The 32X version I guess is only for followers of their loyalty program or some such thing. Personally I always preferred the original artwork that looks like a 60's B movie. The redone stuff with Dana Plato on the cover always looked bad. It uses the worst picture of her possible and it's just not composed very well.I agree, I'm hoping they do one based off the red cardboard box as well. I said on another forum, they should even include the MA-13 stamp on the front since the VRC is no longer around.
Quote from: guest on 04/26/2017, 06:36 PMThey have shown two of the three cover variants planed to mirror the three sega cd covers. So a red cover variant is probabaly the third I shown version.Quote from: Joe Redifer on 04/26/2017, 05:33 PMI had heard that Limited Run Games was surprised by the reaction to Night Trap and will likely increase their order with Sony for the print run.

Quote from: schweaty on 04/27/2017, 12:15 AMWhy?I concur. I find it hard to believe that people buying the PS4 version don't already have the game on another platform.
Quote from: Groover on 04/26/2017, 10:09 PMAlso I'm a little off put buy selling cover variants. That seems like a scumbag move to sucker collectors and cause people to buy more than one copy. If your going to make a variant cover just make it reversible. These games are limited as it is. Now they split the inventory into three.It is kind of a dick move, but I think it's even more ridiculous that some people need to collect every variant. OK, if we're talking about Atari 2600 carts, there's some historical interest in label variations. But for a new title, it's just stupid. (I should put "new" in quotes. How about "newly released")

Maybe I'm just jaded since I think Night Trap is a lame game, and if it weren't for its historical significance with the ESRB, it would have simply faded into obscurity. There were other games at the time, or earlier, that could have been the forefront of the ratings movement. This one just happened to make it into the limelight.

Quote from: esteban on 04/27/2017, 03:57 PMNIGHT TRAP = lame. The scenes simply can't compare to the scenes from ICFTD.There must be a film reel somewhere, or at least a timecoded video tape. It came from the Desert remaster NAO! (with non shit minigames... or all the game sans fmv replaced with the Amiga version, please)
I've wished that someone would find footage for It Came From the Desert TG-CD and preserve it.
For great justice.
Quote from: Joe Redifer on 04/27/2017, 06:05 PMNight Trap is better than It Came From the Desert. But they both suck in that super-cheesy way that makes them great. I bet if Limited Run Games were releasing a 25th anniversary remaster of John Madden Duo CD Football you guys would be more stoked. :PHahahahhaha.

The game itself isn't that fun to play, but it's a strange time capsule of late 80s sensibilities mixed with fond memories of the early days of CD-ROM based gaming. Is it that fun? No.

Quote from: Medic_wheat on 05/11/2017, 08:31 AMWhen customers have complained to LRG for not making enough copies of specific titles they like to put the blame back on the developer by stating that the company holding the game rights can contract with other companies to get additional copies of the game made.

I can't quit remember the content of their teeetes but it seemed more to me their issues where
-getting less copies to print because they are not making it for additional territories
-not being told of the other company doing a RU release and that they where first to go in agreement
-compromising that they get to release first so they can sell off their stock so they have an edge over their competitors.

QuoteWe are Limited Run Games a publisher of limited run physical games for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. We focus on bringing games that were previously only available in a digital format to a physical medium. We're game collectors and players who fear the prophesied all-digital future. We hope that we're not crazy to think that there are other people like us that still want physical games.
At Limited Run Games our releases truly are limited. Once a game sells out, it will never be available from us again! We believe that as collectors and consumers you should be able to trust when we say our games are limited. They are!
All Limited Run Games are part of the Limited Run Collection with each release being numbered. All releases and their numbering can be easily identified by the Limited Run stamp on the back of the game's cover.
Our goal is to serve gamers and collectors by bringing physicality back to games. Please support us in this goal and try to collect the entire Limited Run Collection! Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Twitter for the latest information on our releases.
Quote from: Gypsy on 05/12/2017, 06:11 PMThe 2 Mutant Mudds games on PSN are indeed, 2 games. There was a special deal where you could get both at the same time for cheaper, & that's what I did. But generally speaking, at least on PSN(not sure about Steam), they're considered 2 seperate games. I would've loved to bought both on 1 cart. I ended up buying them both. I really enjoyed the games, plus, I can always resell them down the road.Quote from: guest on 05/12/2017, 05:50 PMNot sure about their intentions, but I know their attitude on twitter is just poor.

Anyway yeah, they sometimes put out a game worth grabbing. The majority are below average games that are regularly $5 or less. I found it very fitting that Mutant Mudds was $1 on steam this week when LRG split the game in two and charged $50 for it. Of course Ys Origins goes on sale digitally and I'm tard enough to want it in physical form.......
Quote from: Flare65 on 05/14/2017, 10:51 PMI think they need to up the quality of some of the games they put out. About half of them are shit-tier shovel ware games that are no better than whats on the iOS store for $1.99 **cough cough Nova-111, cough cough**I too am waiting for that pre order.
Also, where is my fucking Skull Girls pre order that was supposed to be released months ago????

I'm such a damn sheep, never thought I'd get swept up in the LRG craze,I am on a fb page for vita/psp collectors. And my God vita owners seem to have the mind set of "gotta own them all".
Quote from: guest on 05/16/2017, 09:58 AMI think a lot of 'em got started collecting before LRG, back when the entire US library was ~120 titles and most were easy to find and relatively cheap. That's a pretty dumb primary reason to get a full set, I guess, and now with LRG (and others) it's got one heck of a lot more tedious and expensive.I'm seeing the same thing happen with the Wii U. Since the library is so small (around 150) people see an opportunity to get a full set without spending the kind of money that it takes to get something like a full NES set. I've seen people get super excited to find out a Wii U game has been canceled because it's one less game they have to get.

Same goes for LRG. I know some people only care about the full set. While I doubt anyone would admit it openly, I guarantee you that there are a few people who secretly want LRG to fold and out out of business so that there will be no future releases, and they full set can become "official." :roll:

I've really been having fun with procedurally generated games lately, like Ziggurat and a dinky game called Tower of Guns which I bought for maybe $12 on Amazon. Damn if they aren't addictive in that quarter-munching kind of way. Hopefully I'll be able to say the same about Strafe.

did anyone here actually play it? I'm just too lazy to grab download titles until they're super cheap.
I nabbed it though, as well as Deemo.
I know it's basically a phone game, but i'm a perpetual sucker for rhythm games and I had almost imported the damned thing a dozen times already.
Quote from: schweaty on 06/10/2017, 12:53 PMAnybody else notice LRG didn't sell out yesterday?

Btw- still available 75 mins later. I think the handwriting is on the wall. Limited print physical games are a fad and will pass.
Quote from: glazball on 06/23/2017, 11:52 AMFunny you mention it NecroPhile - I finally got around to opening my Dariusburst last night and spent a few hours with it. It's damn incredible. Worth $50, or $60 or whatever? That's debatable but in 20 years, you won't miss that 50 bucks but you'll always have a badass shewtie to play on your Vita.Yesssss, it's great. I would have waited if say, it was getting a wide US release (see: Akai Katana, Deathsmiles, really any wide release shmup in the last 10+ years in the US, they all get well under $10 before they go up). However I wasn't even sure it was going to get a physical release in the US when I bought it, and I didn't see the Japanese version dropping much in price so I pre-ordered it through PA and had no regrets. It's great.
I was put off by the high price and didn't initially buy it. Ended up buying it off ebay like a sucker and only paid a tiny bit more than the initial asking price... and I don't regret the expense. It's a blast.
Quote from: glazball on 06/23/2017, 11:52 AMAnd also kinda funny - one of the LRG founders is asking on their own forums why DB isn't selling out so fast. It does put me off that they want all their titles to sell out in 10 minutes.They are ASSHOLES*. Read their twitter feed if you ever get bored enough.

I see on twitter some bullshit about them holding orders for some trading card crap (instead of the usual postcard/sticker crap).

Quote from: guest on 07/11/2017, 09:38 AMAnd if (when) business drops off, they'll claim people just don't care about physical games any more. Sure, buddy, I'm sure slow shipping, catering to collectards and flippers, shit customer service, etc. has nothing to do with it.They keep saying the quality will improve and the amount of games coming out will decrease too. Probably due to all the competition that has sprouted up. People only have so much money for random indies on physical disc/cart after all. I get that they went nuts and took on, quite frankly, way too many contracts and have to get those games out. However it would be kind of sad if people got burned out while they had better games on tap. I don't think it's a huge risk, just something I was thinking about.
Quote from: guest on 07/10/2017, 12:27 PMAnyone get their Vita Dariusburst yet? My tracking's been stuck at "ready for pickup" since 6/29.i feel you on that. i ordered furi over 2 weeks ago and i haven't been notified anything just a shipping number without any updates. I know its only 2 guys who works at LRG but it would be nice if they can at least notify you of any shipping delays!

Quote from: Necromancer on 07/14/2017, 10:39 AMAnd it's just a pre-order. They don't even have the games and won't ship for a month or more.Yeah... I can see why this is frustrating from the consumer side. Their perspective is probably: "without the artificial supply constraint there would be less demand if it wasn't truly "limited" and open-ended via pre-order." I'm assuming that since they have done pre-orders in the past, they have the metrics to support that way if doing business.
So much for "Pre-orders don't work! We have to have 'em in hand before we sell!!!"
Quote from: Johnpv on 07/19/2017, 07:58 AMI don't understand why they aren't doing pre-orders and basing how many they order on that. Leave pre-orders open for a week or two weeks, say ok we got 1537 pre-orders lets order 2000 copies.It's probably part of their sales pitch.
It seems to me like they would make more money that way too, but these guys really do have a hard on for OMG IT SOLD OUT IN SECONDS!!!!! it seems.
I had no problem pre-ordering the PS4 physical release of Hyper Light Drifter from Iam8Bit, but seemingly something like that is too difficult for LRG and will put them out of business.

Leave pre-orders open for a week or two weeks, say ok we got 1537 pre-orders lets order 2000 copies.It has nothing to do with difficulty. Their business model is to inflate demand by capping supply. They think (and they are probably correct) people will buy less if they think there is an open ended supply (like a pre-order). Even if there is only a small window for pre-order, it could reduce the demand. They are preying on the collectards and it's working.

Quote from: bartre on 07/25/2017, 09:19 AMgood news!Probably because it'd be like impossible to get number of reward tickets to get the 3rd version.
they dropped the cover art variants on Night Trap.
now it's the blue stripe and red box covers, and they're reversible, rather than having a 3rd variant.
Quote from: bartre on 07/25/2017, 09:19 AMgood news!Wow that's pretty logical. I'm shocked they wouldn't want to sell each individually and make people buy both. Reversible is sweet!

Quote from: schweaty on 07/25/2017, 04:14 PMOceanhorn looks like a poor man's windwaker. Considering that game is 14 years old, I played it on the gamecube and the Wii u remaster, I'm going to passI was thinking the same. I'm probably going to pass on Oceanhorn, but Plague Road looks pretty fun. I've passed on all games the past two weeks, but I see a few coming up that I'm interested in.
Quote from: schweaty on 08/04/2017, 10:05 AMPretty sure wonderboy sold out this morning in 1 min 30 secsYeah it definitely did. I sat at the paypal loading screen forever. I think I'm going to stop trying with LRG. I know this has always been their thing since their inception, but sometimes I feel pretty damn gullible racing to get this shit. I don't know, it all seems pretty stupid.
Quote from: ParanoiaDragon on 08/04/2017, 10:12 AMYup, from here, it looked like 2 minutes & it was gone like a fart in the wind! I tried for the special edition first....gone, so hurriedly went for the regular edition.....gone! Gonna try again on my phone later when I'm at work, but I should NOT get my hopes up! 2 per customer....that really knocks the wind out of me! [emoji14] I really want the special edition, but, I want the game regardless, so, not sure if I should just try to nab the regular while others fight for the special edition? Decisions, decisions......If you can't get either from LRG, play-asia has the reg available for pre-order
Quote from: guest on 08/04/2017, 10:23 AMAllowing two per customer is straight bullshit. There's no defending it; it's 100% pandering to flippers and shelf queens.That's like 90% of their customer base it would seem.
Quote from: Mathius on 08/04/2017, 06:10 PMI'll be happy with my PA ver. of Wonder Boy. LGR fell off my radar a long time ago. In this industry when something starts to stink they'll never be able to wash it off.Trust me if I didn't get the copy I'd have just jumped on the PA release. I won't bother with scalpers. Except that one time with think geek lol
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 08/04/2017, 10:40 AMThe CE isn't something I am to interested in.yeah, it's a pretty shit CE. you get trading cards, a poster, and soundtrack.
Quote from: Gypsy on 08/05/2017, 02:22 PMI was going to go for a Wonder Boy in the 2nd wave if anything just to sell at cost to someone that missed out, but I was playing Yakuza 0 and forgot about it, so no big deal.I am glad it comes with a manual. I really wanted one, the only thing I'm really missing out on from the CE is the 2CD's. I do however have to find a way to sell Lawbreakers, since the only way I was able to get Wonderboy, was in the bundle! :P Anyone here want Lawbreakers, $40, that means I make a penny profit off of it LOL!
Apparently the PA version doesn't have a manual, but it sure beats paying flipper rates.
Quote from: Medic_wheat on 08/11/2017, 09:28 PMWell that night trap slipped through my fingers. Both times. SighReally i got my order through luckily enough.Missed the first batch but i was able to get on the second one in the evening.After this,don't see myself buying from LRG again any time soon.Unless it's for Ys Origin but i been thinking maybe i'll go with pa instead.
Quote from: ChuChu Flamingo on 08/12/2017, 03:26 AMIt is crazy how much Night Trap lrg is selling for. They should've done a larger print run since they were hyping this up.Agreed.
Quote from: TDIRunner on 08/14/2017, 05:04 PMI sat in on a panel with Dough from LRG on Sunday. They are working on ways better estimate demand and possibly increase runs while still keeping the total number "limited."I don't really believe that. They've already gauged demand exactly how they want it: just enough to sell out in minutes, adjusting between allowing people to buy single and multiple copies if it's not selling quite quickly enough.
Quote from: glazball on 08/14/2017, 05:08 PMI don't need a company to care about me. It's getting harder and harder to defend LRG, but asking a company to care about you is going a bit too far!Go fuck yourself.
Quote from: TDIRunner on 08/14/2017, 05:04 PMI sat in on a panel with Dough from LRG on Sunday.

Also you can't keep a game "limited" if there is a lot of demand! I could explain further how their business could be so much more successful but it isn't even worth it.
Quote from: guest on 08/14/2017, 09:55 PMlmao at anyone expecting anything other than artificial scarcity from something called "LIMITED RUN GAMES".This could be true.
I'm willing to bet that a large portion of copies are never put for sale on their site so they can sell it on ebay with a high price tag themselves.
Quote from: Groover on 08/14/2017, 10:17 PMI like the idea of giving digital only releases a physical release for those that want it. This should be more about the developers and how they could be benefitting more. They should really consider releasing it themselves if Limited Run Games reaches a maximum of preorders that could just trigger it. I like it when the developers go on and release it later.There are other companies doing this. Some of them even do pre-orders. They just don't have the same online hype presence as LRG.
I think there is room for a company to get this right and not be forcing the limited inventory on the business.

Quote from: glazball on 08/15/2017, 01:47 PMNecro, the idea that LRG doesn't care about you, me or any customer is your opinion. I know you think you are right about everything, but don't confuse your opinion with facts.Obviously it's just an opinion, albeit one based on their actions. Do you have a point?
Quote from: glazball on 08/15/2017, 01:47 PMI stated my opinion and you reacted like an asshole.Yeah, LRG apologists bring out the best in me. :lol:

Go on, I won't be missed here.Again, there's zero threat of you being banned. I don't know where you're getting that shit.
Quote from: glazball on 08/15/2017, 01:47 PMAnd back to the point at hand: if you think LRG, or Play-Asia, or Aetherbyte, or Microsoft or Amazon or ANY other company gives a shit about you, then you are the fool Necro.Lots of companies work hard to earn customer loyalty: MS extended 360 warranties out the wazoo (way more than Sony's done for their shoddy hardware), dropped DRM plans on the One, and killed Kinect to drop prices; Amazon gives easy returns, special customer sales, continually invests in better/faster distribution channels, and makes custom products that make it easier to buy from them; Arky keeps us in the loop and gives us dibs on new products; et cetera, et cetera. They're not 100% altruistic, of course, but there's no question that most companies want to keep current customers while earning new.

All of the words you typed below the "go fuck yourself" to explain your point could have come out first. That's how adults discuss things. Instead you start with "go fuck yourself" knowing you'll have no repercussions, you can talk down to others here all you want. I get it.

QuoteWe've heard your feedback after Wonder Boy and Night Trap and for the first time since our Skullgirls run in 2015 - Ys Origin will be sold as a preorder and be manufactured to demand. The Collector's Edition will be limited to just 3,000 copies per platform, but the standard edition will be open to order for a full 24-hour window. After 24 hours pass, orders will close.Sounds great to me; I hope it's a rousing success so that they decide to do it for more games in the future.

Well one would think okay mom and pop shops can stock up a little for sale at their stores. Cool cool. However in a world where someone pre ordered 61 SNES Classics to scalp I just don't think it's the smaller retro stores or even franchise store which will really take advantage of the Ys release.How the FUCK did some one manage to pre-order 61 of them????!!!!!!
I keep seeing people mention scalpers using bots or some shit is that for real?

There is absolutely no discount and by agreeing to sell their games, you cannot mark it up beyond $10(granted, for new...nothing is to say you can't sell them then have them traded in as used...but that might just be a loop hole).

I wonder how that'll work. Unless they do pre-orders for everyone, that's rather a slap in the face to the long time customers.
How do I know? well Lost Ark in NC is one of the first stores to be a reseller. I'm told, LGR is limiting it to 1-2 stores per state.
Quote from: guest on 08/24/2017, 03:40 PMI guess what I meant was that doing a 24 hour pre order period seems like the bare minimum (or maximum I guess) they could do in this situation so that they could still keep their "Limited" approach to everything.The way I see it, they can keep their "limited" approach by keeping the CE limited (which they are). Make as many RE as needed and keep the CE limited. I can't imagine HOW people could complain about that, despite the fact that I know the WILL.
Quote from: bartre on 08/22/2017, 05:41 PMhttp://youtu.be/wJ4v2LgVlEAWow. I never even heard of this game until I watched this youtube video. Looks like a great game, but I'm already deeply invested in Overwatch...

Quote from: Flare65 on 08/25/2017, 12:38 AMBack on topic:I saw that yesterday and was confused as well. I appears to be corrected now.
Why is the regular version of Ys and the collectors edition the same price for PS Vita??

Quote from: guest on 08/25/2017, 11:13 AMNo kidding, it sold out plenty quick. I skipped the CE and went with a plain jane Vita copy; I'll pay a little more for extra goodies, but nearly double the cost for a poster and simple art book was a bridge too far.Ah okay, I sure didn't want that other game.
By the way, peeps could get multiples (2 per system and 4 total) by buying both the standalone CE and the bundle with Asdivine.

Quote from: Mathius on 08/25/2017, 08:22 PMSega, in an odd bit of being awesome, reprinted Yakuza 1 and 2 on PS2, and Yakuza 3 on PS3 earlier this year. It's been the first time in ages (lol) that Yakuza 2 has been available for a reasonable price. I'm not sure if these copies are still available but it's worth checking Amazon just in case. Hopefully 3 will still be available by the time I dig myself out of my financial hole.Kiwami 2 is happening and should be $30, I'd just get that.

Quote from: NecroPhile on 08/28/2017, 03:27 PMIf clash's numbers are accurate, that makes Ys Origin the largest print run by a sizable margin (~38%) over the largest normal 'limited' release. If the PS4 numbers don't include the PAX variant (1500 copies), make that ~53% larger.(https://i.makeagif.com/media/7-31-2015/_u1X4Q.gif)

Quote6,575 Vita, 8,400 PS4. This was a success on PS4 but not so much on Vita.As I mentioned there, 6500 copies for Vita and 3000 of that are the LE, makes me feel real dumb for getting a limited edition which is like almost 50% off the produced copies.
We already have 6,500 Vita copies en route and we have to reorder for those extra 75 - the minimum reorder quantity is MUCH higher than that
So until we sell the smattering of extra units that have to be ordered above that 75, it wasn't the best route for Vita.
Worth a try, for sure, and we'll certainly consider doing it again.
Ultimately, the decision to go this route in the future will be up to our partners. We'll push for it in some cases.

Quote from: NecroPhile on 08/29/2017, 12:24 PMI don't get why they're making an issue over the extra 75 that they have to reorder. It wouldn't be a problem if it were planned as a true pre-order from day one, where nothing was ordered before last Friday, so why not be happy that it sold 18% more copies than any previous Vita game, despite the competition from another english language release (which also had a nicer LE package)? Even in this unique instance, the unsold product isn't as bad as 1000 (or whatever the minimum order number is) minus the 75 extra sales, as they haven't accounted for the percentage they keep from each sale to cover manufacturing defects and lost orders; they normally hold back 10%, so they actually need 733 more copies and not a mere 75. In any case, I've little doubt that they'll be able to peddle the extra copies before year's end.Yeah they act like it would be some great struggle to sell these extra copies. So dumb.Quote from: guest on 08/29/2017, 11:41 AMAs I mentioned there, 6500 copies for Vita and 3000 of that are the LE, makes me feel real dumb for getting a limited edition which is like almost 50% off the produced copies.45.6% LE isn't that much higher than unusual.

If you have yours with the hacked OS, then you can force the whitelist to add it and it'll work.

Did manage to get one in the second wave somehow but it sold out in like 2 minutes.

I looked around for any mention of the afternoon release but there was none. So I didn't even try. It's so incredibly frustrating.

Quote from: Gypsy on 02/24/2018, 09:24 AMThey apparently have some kind of waiting list to buy copies that get freed up due to cancellations for breaking the order limit, returns etc... Not sure exactly how you go about it but contacting their CS through their site or on twitter is probably the first step.I signed up for this on a whim. I have very little faith that I'll actually get a copy.
Quote from: guest on 02/26/2018, 11:30 AMIt's nice that they cut the second round to one per customer, but it should've been that way from the start, especially for the CE version.

Quote from: Punch on 02/27/2018, 10:37 AMAre you guys still discussing why it's so hard/unfair to buy a game from Limited Run Games 46 pages into this thread?I've never had a problem. You literally have to be waiting a few minutes before the sale starts and keep refreshing until it's live. I know this is a pain and most people are complaining on the principle that there are no pre-orders, but life has rules and those who play by them win.

Quote from: Flare65 on 02/28/2018, 09:03 AMThe problem I have with LRG is that I'll be there the moment the game goes live, add it to my cart, and then the game is listed as sold out during the checkout process. Wash-rinse-repeat until the game is no longer available to add to the cart.This is the part I don't understand. I've gotten probably a dozen games from LRG and this has never happened to me (including some if the high demand stuff like dragons trap SE). There is no way that's just luck. Too many samples to be just luck
Quote from: Necromancer on 02/28/2018, 09:24 AMYou gotta have your shipping details stored as part of your account and either store your credit card payment info with them or be logged in to paypal in advance (keep surfing around on paypal to keep the page active - they'll log you out if you idle for more than a couple minutes). If you wait, odds are good it'll be sold out by the time you get it all sorted.This. FYI- I also use PayPal
Quote from: schweaty on 02/28/2018, 09:27 AMThat's exactly what happened to me, and it was with Dragon's Trap. I was so pissed, because that was the one Limited Run game I wanted more than any other, and I had successfully bought a handful of games from them prior to that sale. I was logged into my Limited Run account, and I was logged into Paypal, but it didn't matter. I think part of it depends on when you get into the checkout queue. You have literally a few seconds to do your order. If you get into the queue in five seconds, you might be 2,000 slots ahead of the guy who got into the queue in seven seconds.Quote from: Flare65 on 02/28/2018, 09:03 AMThe problem I have with LRG is that I'll be there the moment the game goes live, add it to my cart, and then the game is listed as sold out during the checkout process.

You're right though, Mercenary Kings is $20 on Steam and Flinthook is $15 and I'm sure they'll go on sale at some point for even less. I kind of insist on physical releases though so as long as they're decent I figure they'll be worth having.

The Wii U almost made me forget.I happen to agree at the moment because I happen to be playing through Metroid Fusion on a GBA SP (Mk1) and it's hard not to notice how great it all is. Like my original rechargeable battery still giving hours of play after FIFTEEN YEARS of use/neglect. No loading, no tutorial, no logging in, no obvious bugs despite no updates, and it's far too short to ever get bored of. I need more shit like that.

Our first option was a "X-in-1" indie game collection we'd be a part of, but that's a little less exciting to the collector. Our 2nd option is a new company looking to package physical switch games with vinyl soundtracks. I'm still into that idea, but I think they're waiting to see how our LRG sale pans out. I talked to LRG about Switch too, but they're also waiting to see how this PS4/Vita sale works.Thanks. Unfortunately last I saw LRG still had stock. I don't think it's indicative of the quality of the game though, but people burning out on LRG.
So now you've got all the info I have :P

Other than that and a few other titles that are mostly on Switch now the Wii U was a bomb.Quote from: Gypsy on 08/28/2018, 09:53 AMExodus do you think a physical Switch copy will happen through LRG?
