I hope the Switch game prices are comparable to the markup on the PS4 and Vita games. We don't need a Switch tax.
We don't need a Switch tax, but I'm expecting one. Switch titles will do gangbusters!

Nex Machina and La Mulana EX, YEEEEEEES! Two of my most wanted titles! Super happy to be owning physical copies of both soon. LRG has a real killer line-up for me in the future, even more so now.
Happy about the Switch news too. Some games are just better on portables.
It's already on the Vita.Nuclear Throne on Switch would be so hype. I know it's supposed to be coming to Vita but it's taking forever!
It's already on the Vita.
Huh, Limited Run Games doesn't hate Nintendo fans after all, who knew?
But...it was Nintendo who said no at the end. LRG wanted to publish a physical version of Fatal Frame but weren't able to.Huh, Limited Run Games doesnt hate Nintendo fans after all, who knew?
Has there been any word about VA-11 Hall-A yet? The Japanese physical Vita release is out in less than a month and I'm currently not sure if I should grab that or hang on for LRG.

That woulda been hype.
How Devil's Third got a physical release over FF is mind-boggling.
They might include some of the extras but there's no way they'll translate the book (and M2 probably can't and won't translate it for them).
There will more than likely be an Asian disc release for Garegga, so if you simply want the game on a disc you won't necessarily need to deal with LRG.
It is La Mulana ! I'm psyched !!!
November 10th

I feel the game's a tad overrated.

Fatal Frame would easily have been my most hyped release.
Shit, guess I have to get this. I'm already getting a physical copy of LM from the LM2 kickstarter but I can't resist one of the best games ever. Really hope my first LRG experience isn't a total disaster.
I think non region free consoles like the Wii U would've proved difficult for LRG in terms of their batching and having different listings etc
Nex Machina : 7500 units (4500 Standard and 3000 Collectors)
That's a bit of a shame for such a high tier game like Nex Machina. I think it could move a lot more copies over time.
It may seem small, but this is their biggest single console release yet after Ys Origin for the PS4, and that one had unlimited open orders for a day.
I prefered when they released around 7k standard units for big games (Shadow complex, Firewatch) than splitting this number between standard and CE though. Maybe that's just me

Yeah, one of the reasons why I find the print run quite low. On top of that they are doing 3 cover variants. A lot of people will double or even triple dip, so 7500 is not a very big number.

Now that Mummy Demastered isnt getting a physical release from WayForward, will LRG look into it?
Crawl : 3800 units
La Mulana : 4800 units
Nex Machina : 7500 units (4500 Standard and 3000 Collectors)
Didn't notice that physical tier. Damn, it's tempting but it's expensive, and PC (I think ?). I'll probably wait for the LRG take on La Mulana 2 but I hope we'll have manuals too. It seems almost mandatory for this kind of game :|
I also hope there will be a bundle on November 10th because I'm interested in all 3 games.
Didn't know Crawl but it has great reviews.
If they did that, then you'd know you're getting worthless crap like this and never order a CE in the first place.It's time LRG starts showing what's actually included in these collectors editions right there on their site rather than just the box cover. Come on.
i just hope the covers aren't random or hard to get because i want that one with the skull on
Just an art book?If they did that, then you'd know you're getting worthless crap like this and never order a CE in the first place.
I took a gamble and learned my lesson the first and only time.
Never again!
Ys had an art book (which looks like a glorified instruction manual) and a fold-up poster.Just an art book?

I don't think the problem is the contents themeselves -- though in case of Ys, missing on a soundtrack in a series known for its music was a mistep. It's a big box with those two items thrown in hapzardly. It's not a good fit, literally, and looks rather unprofessional.
I agree with the exclusion of the soundtrack being disappointing, for sure. But the artbook comment I do comment on, because every LE topic I go into, someone is upset with how small the book is. I just don't know what people expect, because 14 times out of 15, it will be something small like that (whether hardbound or not, it's still usually small), with the rarity being something actually OVER 50 pages. I see people often laugh at "LOL 50 pg 'artbook'!" but it really IS that rare for a decent-sized one to be included in any LE. Trust me, I collect enough LEs to know :/ Sure it would be nice to get something bigger, but I know the reality of it on what to expect.
Yeah, it was my first CE - and my last.(Most artbooks look like this in LEs...) Seriously though, for most games, this is pretty much the standard... I see this complaint come up a lot, and a lot of people don't realize what the expectations vs reality is for them.
To be fair, the Night Trap and Silver Case LEs clearly stated the contents on their site.Yeah, it was my first CE - and my last.
LRG will sell them all anyway, so it doesn't matter to their bottom line, but I'll be sticking with regular releases from now on.
I blame only myself, because I knew it was a gamble and I knew better, especially when LRG showed no pictures of what we'd actually be getting inside the package - a major red flag for this and all of their other CEs (and CEs in general, probably).

A list of contents isn't the issue - that's the case for every LE on LRG's site - getting to see what said contents actually look like is where we're usually left in the dark.To be fair, the Night Trap and Silver Case LEs clearly stated the contents on their site.
There was a picture too.A list of contents isn't the issue - that's the case for every LE on LRG's site - getting to see what said contents actually look like is where we're usually left in the dark.
Fair enough, but that's definitely not the case across the board.There was a picture too.
The Atlus USA release of Growlanser V came with a gorgeous artbook covering the entire series.
I second this statement. After buying several years worth of jrpg LE's/CE's the norm is small artbooks. The whole "well it's not hardback" argument is rather petty IMO. I've bought tons of LE's [particularly 3ds & vita ones] that include paperback artbooks of 30-50 pages, which is perfectly acceptable as long as the contents of the books are good [keep in mind here that most of these also include the "Atlus-tax" or are NISA-LE's, which invalidates basically any of the "well I paid a premium for this LE!"] It's not about the material it's made of; More important is the content inside the artbook [which in Ys Origin's defense is rather good].
I will on the negative side agree though that not having the OST bundled was a misstep for a game in a series which is well known for their soundtracks. I would've loved to have had that in the package. LRG [at least more in the beginning] always put out OST for sale for their games. Not sure what changed in the mindset there, but I feel like that would be something to maybe look back into for them.
Yeah, it was my first CE - and my last.
How about publishers would actually start calling it was it is: an art booklet. That would lower expectations and would generally be more honest. But they pretty much all insist on blowing pretty much anything out of proportion, even the small ones like LRG.
