Quote from: guest on 01/16/2011, 03:05 AMI think everyone who wanted the game did preorder print 2.I think they made 2400 of the first production run, that's way more than most other homebrews.
Which goes to show you they should have just done a larger print 1 instead of being dipshits.
Also, I think the cardboard boxes were printed WAY ahead of time before the game started to sell out while it was still in the pre-order stage. If you read the text on the boxes it makes a huge deal about the "20th anniversary". The Sega MegaDrive was released in 1988 in Japan. Initially based on other homebrew sales they probably never expected to sell all 2400 so quickly.
So if they already had a set number of boxes finished and ready, that would explain why pre-orders started to "sell out".
The RePrint was only on sale for about 2 weeks before it sold out, and that won't ship until February. In the past *i think* they said it takes about 1 month from when they put in a production order at the factory to when the cartridges are finished. So if it's shipping in February they probably put in the production order right around the time it went on sale 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately it looks like they underestimated demand again. But they said on twitter they'll be making more.
