Minutes? No way Wonder Boy is lasting longer than 30 seconds.

Hopefully it won't be another Shintae disaster where the site kept telling me its sold out while i can see a remaining inventory in front of me.. at the end of the day I managed to grab the lesser priced copy :/
Crossing fingers that it would last for few minutes
Like 2064: Read Only Memories, the devs are literally concentrating on nothing but the Vita ports of these games.
They'll happen.
Truth; the first time I've been legit worried I may fail to secure an LRG title.
I'm not too worried about Wonder Boy because there is an unlimited Asian print for the game coming too. I do want the Limited Edition that LRG is selling but as long as I get the physical game from some source I won't cry myself to sleep if I miss it from LRG.
As for Visual Novels, I'm unlikely to buy them myself but as long as people want physical VNs in English then I'm happy if they get those. I feel sorry for the people going for complete collections and who have been mostly in this for the indies though if we start getting $50 VNs frequently.

Same. Tracking has been bad for a little bit now. Things don't show or they show th day of delivery.

My order before that, Broken Age, still says unfulfilled :/. They need to slow down on the releases if they can't keep up.

Who was clammoring for a generic rogue-like platformer with a metacritic in the 60s for $25 when you can get it "brand new" for $5? This isn't like Stealth Inc, because even though that game could have been gotten cheap on sales, it actually has a following, and cost more than $5 normally. I can at least understand that existing physically and costing $25.
I mean they sold them all I guess, but I don't know what this particular release is actually serving. It's leading to my point about this being so watered down with meh releases now. I really really reallllllly want to get behind someones rational where they look at this game on PSN at $5 and is like "ya I need that physically for 5x the price."
At this point *some* games are selling because it's part of a collection set, rather than to people who actually want to own the game physically...unless you are going to try to tell me people were clammoring for this game to exist physically, which to me I highly doubt.
Yep, me too!
CSH will definitely be the next one I want, I only have both Shantae's and Shadow Complex so far.

I only buy from LRG every now and then when I'm interested in a title, usually for Japanese games but every now and then I'll get one of their other releases. I picked up Bard's Gold because it looked interesting, not as part of a collector's mentality. So there's one person at least.

My Broken Age and Deemo arrived after my initial Asendia panic. Phew!
Sorry if I missed a conversation about this, but is there a reason Darius Vita hasn't gone out yet? I just checked up on my order, and it says UPS Mail Innovations received the shipment details on 6/29, I got an email on 7/3 that it was on it's way, but as of now, tracking says it was processed and ready for UPS but seemed to have never moved on from there.
I'm wondering if something happened to delay the shipments, or if it's a problem with mine. Did anyone else here in the States get their copy yet?

Rive now sold out. Dunno when that happened.

Screw Dariusburst, my copy of Broken Age is still showing as unfulfilled. That was ordered on the 9th June. The ticket I submitted 6 days ago (Tuesday 4th) still hasn't been answered.
Haven't had any issues with any orders from LRG previously but since I've started using hold shipping, nothing has been updated as fulfilled any more. Only Risk of Rain, which was ordered 26th May and marked as fulfilled 31st May, so five days later (not the 31 days and counting for Broken Age).
Hope something hasn't messed up with my order. I'd be pretty upset if I didn't eventually get these games.

A friend of mine and I have exactly the same problem with Broken Age. Now I'm worried.

I'm less worried about it if the exact same thing is happening to other people, actually

Don't know if it has been mentioned in any of the limited pressing threads or when exactly it occurred, but I just noticed that iam8bit has seemingly sold out of their 9,000 copy run of Hyper Light Drifter on the PS4.
As previously stated, all copies of Furi (and presumably Darius Vita) were being withheld to incorporate their latest trading card collectibles which should be replacing the postcard and/or stickers moving forward. Orders that claim to have attempted delivery with a reschedule were the result of a technical error. The trading card add-ons arrived at their offices this past Friday and these orders should finally start heading out sometime today.
I want that to be announced and soon please

Make that two people. I will admit the $5 PSN price (cheaper in a sale) gave me pause. But looking at pics and videos of the game tickled all the right nostalgia buttons for me. I will admit to feeling a wee bit of buyer's remorse after the fact, but I'm still looking forward to getting and playing the game.

Great game, great physical edition. Congrats to iam8bit and Heart Machine
Much appreciate the info. I'd caught a little of the talk about the whole card thing, but didn't have a chance to look into it further, and hadn't caught on that it was going to mean a delay for Darius going out.
Any of you following the Indiegogo campaign for the documentary Not For Resale? It already passed its goal of $12K and is now $2.5K away from reaching the goal to do a trip to the LRG offices for an interview as part of the documentary. 3 days left.
Playism's Japanese release is scarce now, too. Congrats indeed.

Learned that the hard way when I went to go finally buy myself a copy.
The guy making it is actually a GAFfer. He's been posting updates over in the Video and Filmmaking thread.
You can still get the new copies of the Japanese version of Hyper Light Drifter for below $40 shipped to the US on eBay. Maybe cheaper from other sources. One of the best physical indie games out there on the PS4 in my personal opinion. It took a little while to get into for me but when it clicked, I had a really hard time putting it down. Nice to see a great game selling well.
Yeah I know. His thread about the project got locked for self promotion and so the project hasn't been talked about a lot outside the thread you mentioned. I thought I'd bring it up since the stretch goal is about LRG and there's only a few days left.
That would be me! Thanks for noticing the project. I figured there was an audience for it on GAF but the thread I made didn't last terribly long due to my relationship to the film.
When you guys have held orders shipped, do you get a shipping confirmation from all held orders or just a few of them? I got just two shipping confirmations out of six or so held orders and a USPS code on their website, no tracking code. One previous order still says unfulfilled on the website. I have no idea if my package will come complete with all games I've ordered since Runner2.
only got 1 and that only included the game that i had the ship it now thing with, i think they had to manually change the other ordes to fulfilled and that didn't happen til a couple days after shipping
Hmm, did you get your order already? Did it come with all the games you had held up until then?
Also:
"Just so you know, he (Doug from Limited Run Games) met with the Devs for House of Fata Morgana at the Anime Expo and he said he is about 90-95% sure that it is happening as well (Vita physical western release), but will make an announcement when he has papers signed."
Nice! There was another tweet by Doug shortly after Anime Expo where he sounded like everything went well at AX, so I've been pretty optimistic that it would happen. But this is even better!
Not to put a damper on things, but this is radically premature.
Yes, Doug and Keika Hanada and I had a superb meeting.
But do not expect any Western console versions of Fata until 2018.
i did this back when darius was up for ps4 and i think it came a week after it had been shipped out with all the games, as long as you had the ship it now thing in your cart when you ordered your last game you should be fine
Hey so what's the word on Fallen Legion? It comes out next week via PSN but I haven't heard if the LRG release is getting bumped up too. I'd heard they were waiting for a simultaneous release on PSN/LRG but I'm guessing maybe the LRG release was delayed and so they are going ahead on the digital front rather than waiting? Has anyone seen anything on it?
Good to hear you guys hit it off
2018 seems like a given, considering how long it's taken MangaGamer to localize the add-on content from the first bonus disc. I'm just glad that your work payed off man, I'd be there day one for a LRG Fata Morgana and can't wait to replay the game in English whenever it's ready.
Physical release might be released next month.

I forgot about thr bonus disc stuff...
Any word on if that will be added to the Vita release?
The japanese Vita release was pretty complete, I'm hoping the western release will be just as complete.
Niceeeee! What a great year for games/announcements
I hope LRG can use the mockup design that was made pahes back on here.

Sounds like Mecho Tales (and other Arcade Distillery releases going forward) will be getting a LRG physical release:

That would be fantastic, as I'm super keen to play both interconnecting games and they're not slated for JP region at all.
I can guarantee any Western release will surpass the current JP Vita version in completeness
Thanks!!

Let's just say the bloke who did that mockup is already working on far superior graphic design...
