Yeah, I'd avoided mentioning that here as it seems like a bit of a rivalry. I do wonder what it is.

Oh I wish that comes true, I thought that was more related with "wonder" and wonderboy though. Eastiasoft game is throught play-asia.

So Owl Boy and an LE of a certain shooter? I'm guessing not through LRG?
It won't but with the ability to switch between HD and 8-bit graphics (as well as the sound/music) on the fly and the improvements they made to the game there's no reason to tbh.

Obviously.
My God, I wish LRG would pick that one up. However the retweets are only at 688 last I checked. No word of a localization yet either.
WHAT. Is it coming to PS4? How did I miss that??
Yeah, I'm wracking my brain trying to conceive of ways to get the RT count up. That said, companies have expressed interest

I missed out on New 'n' Tasty at the time and had to pay eBay scalper prices - and that was at the time it released, can't imagine how much more it costs now.
So I made sure I was around for Stranger's Wrath. And if Munch's Oddysee happens too, no way I'm missing that either.

I'm glad to hear this! I really hope it ends up happening...
I think I read a long time ago a PS4 port was not out of the question, depending on the success of the game. I hope it will concretize

I'm not sure you'll get many more RTs for that one, maybe make new ones every month with something different.
Also, I knew something was up with Rabi-Ribi:

It seems that pQube is not doing US duty for Rabi Rabi, but indicating that someone else will. I'll put my chips on Xseed being the US publisher, since pQube usually does EU duty for them.
Except LRG has been announced as doing a physical print for the game for months. We knew something was going on, but now we know for sure. With such a widespread print, specially in the West, there's no need for a LRG print at this point.
Is it possible that pQube is localizing/publishing and LRG is just handling the physical release? The linked tweets say a physical version is coming, but they could be referring to an LRG release.
Edit: actually never mind this doesn't make sense because pQube usually does its own physical releases.

Apparently, LRG is still making a physical print for Rabi-Ribi. This should be the first time they're printing a game that's already getting a widespread western release. I wonder how they'll adjust numbers to make up for the fact that the same game will be readily available through several other retailers.
Soldner, Skullgirls, Ys Origin, Wonder Boy and now Rabi-Ribi. I wonder how limited some of these games will be moving forward, judging that they're all available through other publishers/retailers.

Oh, sweet Jesus my Dariusburst LE and Darius soundtrack are out for delivery! I picked the perfect day to work from home!

In that case Rabi-Ribi would be the first Vita game from LRG I really don't want to buy, because I will get the PQube one in any case (PAL collector). I would only buy it to keep my Vita collection complete. I know, that's one hell of a first world problem, but it's somehow annoying for me.

Mine still haven't shipped 😩
I'll reiterate that I really don't mind releases that already exist in Asia *at all*
Especially when it includes CEs, like Wonderboy and Ys Origin.
Please don't de-prioritize these just because there are other physical releases elsewhere
Also, holy crap I played more of Butcher and this neeeeds a physical release. The game is amazing.

It's been a while since I've felt so happy thanks to only six words. I want to believe.
Feels like another case of silver... Sort of. Oh well, LRG will still sell out under name and loyalty alone.
tbh i see LRG releases as a NA release so it's just like a different publisher getting the game in that region
That time one was different platforms. This time is the very same platforms.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It's just the right amount of embarrassing to have on my shelf. I like it. Is there anything new to the PS4 version vs. the PC original?
I see them as primarily an NA-region company too, although there is no rating to restrict them elsewhere.
I personally don't mind situations like this, as I'm an NA-only collector, so I welcom anything that's been from other regions coming in.
Judging from other replies, it seems the dick move was made by the original developer, where Sekai Project had nothing to do with the PQube deal. I wonder if moving forward, that means all Sekai Project titles will be released in North America only.

I don't see how entirely different this situation functions compared to how Play-Asia has similar claim to most Asian territories for their English compatible releases. Limited Run still has a contract that marks their North American copies as the sole variant available to the region despite allowing their inventory being accessible to international customers. They justed confirmed their release will launch prior to the PQube/PAL version and I'm sure they'll still sell out their quantity simply because of the rapid fanaticism their niche system cultivates for collectors. Unless PQube grabs an exclusice collector's set, I don't see it having an excess impact on sales and i think its great for fans to have a fallback option. If I had to speculate a potential reason, perhaps Sekai Project wanted to expedite a physical release since nothing has happened through LRG following the contract signing last summer?
It seems this case goes as follows:
- Sekai Project has the rights to publish the game in North America;
- Sekai Project, CreSpirit and Limited Run Games strike a deal for worldwide physical print for the game;
- CreSpirit signs an european publishing deal with PQube, that includes physical copies.

So my copy of DariusBurst arrived bed with a loose disc. I was planning on offering it up for trade as I missed Flinthook. But should I contact LRG and ask for a replacement?
Loose discs are not defects, I don't think they'll send you a replacement.
LRG is only for North America, and any DLC would only work with NA account
That happens with regular games I get from Amazon all the time, it's a problem with the shitty PS4 game cases in general.

Try this, it works great:

But they are still selling NTSC copies like all past releases. No idea how the DLC situation for Rabi-Ribi is, though.

Doesn't LRG contracts become nullified once they release their version? PAL copies won't become available until after Limited has their run with the title so the PQube contract could just be preemptive measure to make it more widely accessible for gamers down the line.
That's the thing, I don't think they can sign contracts before the LRG print is released. That didn't stop Arc Sys from opening pre-orders for Ys Origin and Wonder Boy, though.

That's a Sony manufacturing problem not an LRG problem
Limited Run has said before they only get the rights for their run but the Dev is free to do another run with a different company if they want to afterwards. That might not be the case here but that is how it was in the past.
I don't know the original statement made it sound like LRG licenses a set number of copies and them releases the rights. It's a dick move that it was announced at the same time but it is probably perfectly legal. The only thing that the other company couldn't do is use the LRG owned branding.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try that YouTube trick.

Still, if LRG releases the game first I can see them selling out no matter what
I am pretty sure it will still sell, unless they are printing a crazy number of copies. It comes out first and I think they said that 2/3 of their customers are in the US, so a European release shouldn't affect them too much. I will probably grab the LRG Vita release as my Vita collection is nearly complete.

In my case pqube or LRG, it is still an import and LRG promo pic has the logo as spine / coloured spine. I always prefer that over the boring plain text white spine.
