By the way a Boy and his Blob has a Wii physical release. In PAL at least !
It's in NA too.

I always find replies like that so confusing. Does he mean he was wrong in that someone guessed it and he missed it? Or that someone has guessed it since his last post? Haha 
If it's the latter, we've got it down to:
Spelunky
Another World
A Boy and his Blob
Don't Starve
Grim Fandango
Hatoful Boyfriend
Broken Age
Starbound
Stardew Valley
Day of the Tentacle
Of those, the most likely (to me) to have a big print run are any of the Double Fine Games or Spelunky. I do seriously wonder if legal hurdles would be the likely to prevent a Grim Fandango/Day of the Tentacle run, but I hope not.

When I said no one had guessed it I was wrong someone had.

Bugger. Well you've just blown the doors wide open then and we're back to square one!

Only 9 days to go. Hopefully I can get one.
Back to square one!
Since what point? What was the cutoff?
For it to get a 10k print it has to be as popular or more popular than Shadow Complex. There aren't that many game that would fit the description.
Any guess after post 6697
I mean, I took that post in the context of the most recent posts here.
Otherwise it'd be an impossible tease.
Context makes it look like yes.
Of the games mentioned between post 6697 when the Tweet was referenced and the erroneous 'no one got it yet' (post 6734), we had:
Cosmic Star Heroine
Binding of Isaac
Limbo
I Am Setsuna
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3
Skullgirls
Guacamelee
Volume
Hotline Miami*
Fez*
Rogue Legacy*
Axiom Verge*
Salt and Sanctuary*
Super Meat Boy*
Enter the Gungeon*
Banner Saga*
* - All the ones marked with * though, were quoted in post 6734 along with the 'no one guessed it' line, so they seem less likely to be guesses that were overlooked.
Josh's tweet about the 15k run was on June 19th.
Doug tweeted on Aug 8 that talks with Square were looking possible, so I doubt it could be I Am Setsuna given Josh's tweet.

I think Skullgirls would make the most sense with the phrase 'dedicated fans'. Being part of a fighting game community can take a lot of dedication.
The dedicated bit also sounds to me like it would soft rule out CSH as that hasn't released yet, but that discussion has already been had.

I'd be happy with any of those, apart from:
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 (already got a retail release in Asia)
Skullgirls (already got a retail release in Asia & Japan)
Hotline Miami (already got a retail release in Japan)
I'd say it's probably not I Am Setsuna as LRG only recently started talking to SE.
Also I hope it's not Limbo because I think the game is kind of meh... ;-)

They are waiting for the final patch for Skullgirls before doing any physical release. Possible, but not likely.

Interesting. I think that does make it less likely, but some parts of that article make it still sound feasible:
At first I though specifically mentioning limited made it seem like it could be LRG. I know they were already working with another publisher for Indivisible though, so it'd make more sense to go with them for SG. They might also be wanting to have physical for their other platforms too. The way the timetable sounds though, I dunno if they would have already reached agreements for # of copies etc.
I wouldn't be enthusiasted by a Limbo release, AT ALL. It has been physically released twice already :
- There's a PC DRM Free physical release
- And I own an Xbox 360 version already
I almost imported it recently, guess I'll wait a little more then

Yeah, those are useless for people who'd want a PS4/Vita physical copy. You know, the platforms LRG is known to release games on.
...
Yes, I know the platforms LRG is known to release games on, thanks.
But I thought the entire point was to release physically games that had never been. Not to fuel the console war.
I pointed to the fact people who really want Limbo can already buy it on two different platforms (for cheap). Now, I wouldn't be enthusiastic about a PS4/Vita release, and I sure wouldn't buy it, but I wouldn't throw a tantrum over it either. I'd just hope it doesn't get the norm to rerelease already available games.
To me it would be as vain as releasing one of these Asian-regionfree-english-language games.

Agreed. I also think Limbo is quite boring and doesn't have any replay value, so I kind of doubt that it would move 15k copies. My personal favorite from the list would probably be Axiom Verge or Banner Saga.
lol, not sure where you're getting it your head that this is about console wars.
This IS about getting physical games that never got one, and Limbo VIta/PS4 nerer got one. Simple as that. Saying that it's already available physically on another console and that I should presumably get that if I wanted a PS4/Vita physical copy is idiotic.
There is a reason that games such as Atelier is in so high a demand even though they have PS3/PS4 physical copies. People enjoy owning physical copies for systems they like to play it on.
Here you go man.
https://www.amazon.com/Banner-Saga-Collectors-PC-DVD-UK/dp/B00LGP625U
No longer do you have to wish for a physical copy of Banner Saga ;D
The Banner Saga PC release has already been brought to our attention, and as far as we know it is NOT DRM free.
As for Atelier, I'm guessing people are asking for the Plus versions, which may or may not have been physically released in don't know (?)
I'm sorry, but saying "People enjoy owning physical copies for systems they like to play it on" is actually close to saying "PS4/Vita Master Race", which is super dumb (or idiotic, to use your words) to me but whatever. Following your logic, LRG should release every PS1 classic games physically... as well as the digital PS2 games... not gonna happen.
If you want to play a PS1 classic, then download the game. If you want to collect it, then buy the PS1 disc.
Same for Limbo. If you want to play it, download it. If you want to collect it, then buy the freaking 15$ Xbox360 disc.
Erm, saying "People enjoy owning physical copies for systems they like to play it on" doesn't mean PS4/Vita master race.
It means some people don't prefer the systems they may or may not have already been released on so there is a valid reason for wanting Limbo physically on another platform.

lolol, Vita Master Race? And your last statement contradicts your first two. What does DRM or plus versions matter when you're saying that you should buy them digitally to play and physically to collect?
Anyways, if you can't understand something as simple as people liking to play on a particular system, and thus creating demand for it's physical version, then too bad for.
Edit: Oh, and just to clarify to anyone who cares, I don't think the 15K print run is gonna be Limbo. My money is on Isaac.
I want LRG to put out PS4/Vita releases because those are my main platforms. Already an XB1/360/Wii U/PC release? Great! But I'm not interested in collecting for those platforms. Nothing to do with "Master race."
Why does it even matter if some of LRG's releases end up being games with physical copies on other platforms, or games with English Asian versions? They have so many games in the pipeline, it's not like LRG is going to stop doing what they normally do. It's such a non issue to me.

I was exagerating on purpose with the Vita MasterRace thing of course.
Everybody knows a DRM locked physical release is worthless.
"Plus versions" don't contradict anything since I could understand people willing to have a "Goty" on disc when there's only a vanilla release around.
My argument around the PSClassics still stands. I shall add another one : what happens when the PS5 is released ? Following your reasoning LRG should port every one of their games on it ? They could but that would be vain.
As I said, I wouldn't throw a tantrum, I'd just be disappointed once and wouldn't buy these rereleases. I perfectly understand why you or Tapejara would buy them, I just happen to think there are countless indie games which have never (for real) been physically released and that LRG should think about them first before dispersing their energy. No big deal.
You called me idiotic for explaining my thoughts when I have real arguments. Now get off my back please.
Though I agree with you, I'm inclined to think it could be Isaac.

what a bunch of nonsense. I don't understand why you have to bring this up again and again.
People who collect Vita games want their games on Vita carts. Period. A 360 or PC release is utterly worthless to them. It's great that you don't care, but there is nothing inherently wrong with releasing a game like that again
Not ever release has to be FOR YOU. It's totally okay to ignore a LRG release and skip it. At the same time you can be happy that other collectors get something they want, but you seem incapable of thinking like that.
I'm sorry if my reply is harsh but this isn't the first time you started an argument like this and it's getting a bit old.
Jesus ! Yes, your message is harsh, especially since you seem to read one out of two of my sentences.
As I stated :
I'll be goddam happy for you if it is Limbo, yes ! And I won't buy it. See ? I'm capable to "be happy that other collectors get something they want" like a normal human being. But I still think LRG's time and money would be better invested in other games. If they had an unlimited supply of both I wouldn't care at all, but it's not the case so they have to make choices. And regarding these choices, I express my opinion which is : I think they should aim at never-ever-released games first, that's all. Is that really a reason to imply I'm a selfish douche ?
The one other time I indeed brought this up was when I wished they shouldn't do games Indiebox already did, but this time you totally convinced me because indeed : PC and consoles are two totally different worlds for a lot of people, and the games are not widely available. This time we're talking about a cheap game widely available on HD consoles already. It's completely different.
Bah. Let it be Limbo, whatever.

I'm trying to keep my collection complete, so I'm hoping for games I'm actually interested in or don't own yet. But yeah, I get your point of course. :-D
ch more affordable, but it was the lowest price I've seen in a long time.Kresnik258

I just want to point out that the Atelier games are slightly different too, since the Plus versions have all the DLC content as part of the game, so a physical release would be an expanded version pretty much.
... so you should totally do them no matter what, LRG
... so you should totally do them no matter what, LRG
Agreed. People have different preferences, but I think all/most of us here in this thread have one thing in common, that we want physical versions of these games.
I don't really care to have games on PS4 or Vita, I'd really prefer whatever platform a game was originally on. My weird little preferences though, are that I want NA region games and I don't go for PC. Doesn't mean I need to try and shut people down when they mention an EU or JP physical release that a game already has. Doesn't mean we should berate anyone who brings up Indiebox. It's good that people mention these options. Likewise, it's good when people bring up releases for other platforms. These things keep us all more informed.
Other people's preferences may be Vita or PS4 games specifically, and nothing wrong with that either.
You're not alone in your thinking. LRG is trying to meet a lot of different expectations, but I appreciate that they seem to focus on games that have never seen a physical release. I'm pretty sure that has been stated as one of their goals, to see digitally available only games get a release. So, while I also agree that it's fine if something like Limbo gets a physical release on ps4/vita, I wouldn't want it to be at the expense of a game that never has seen a physical release. Regardless of how many games they have in the pipe, it's not an unlimited pipe. Limbo could currently live on after online servers shut down, many other games would not.

There's also a lot of people who either don't know those releases exist or aren't interested in keeping up with an R3 extended collection (seems like it can get expensive and hard to keep track of). We'd definitely jump on the opportunity to do releases of Digimon Cyber Sleuth or Gundam Breaker 3, for example. I think there is a huge market for those games that either don't know about or don't want to pay the premium for the Asia releases.

Having an actual Western release would probably get something like Cyber Sleuth more attention, but I don't think price would change at all for people who are on the fence because it costs too much to import. It's still a $40 release digitally so I would assume it would be $50 coming from you guys and then it's $5 shipped to the US and however much to other countries. Where as it's a $50 import game with $5 shipped to the US and however much to others. At this point the only people I see who haven't bought it physically on Vita, are those who are waiting for the price to drop, not those who want a Western release of it at the same price as the import price.
But wouldn't you charge premium as well for those games? I feel like guessing a proper number of copies for those would be a lot trickier than regular releases.
I'd buy it to have an NA copy of the game(s). Some people want a complete LRG Collection, I want a complete NA Collection (or as close as I can get).
I only collect NA and I think they definitely fit in.
