Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media

werezompire · Oct 27, 2020

To add some more details...
PS5 release date is "soon." As soon as it's finalized, we'll share the actual date.
LRG is aiming to get Switch physical copies to buyers before Christmas. They're not positive on PS5 copies since that depends on the PS5 release date.
We added a New Game+ to all versions of the game (PC will get a patch). Besides letting you continue any R'lyehtionships you didn't finish in the main game, we've also added a few new story scenes & powerful pieces of equipment that weren't in the main game.

I'm super excited that we're going to have one of the first PS5 games. I've always wanted to be part of a console launch. :)

Hmm, really curious to see the price for the PS5 version there. Hopefully they can keep it the same as the Switch version.

It's LRG's policy to have price parity. If the PS5 version somehow drives up costs, they would increase the price of the Switch version.

I remember some individuals on this very forum cheering the practice when Switch versions increased PS4 pricing.

I'm sure they'll be just as enthusiastic about this. Right?

Anyway. Where the actual hell is PS4 Seven Sirens? Is it somehow attached to the special editions they're waiting for?

I don't even recall that or why that would be something to be happy about. Switch owners that don't buy PS4? No idea.

ShyMel · Oct 27, 2020

My Clannad LE arrived yesterday and it looks very nice in person.

Saoshyant · Oct 27, 2020

I got a shipping notice yesterday. I was surprised because I can't remember the last time I've seen one. Out of curiosity, I decided to check: I've put in 12 orders since February. Of these, only one (an order from March) has been shipped since, exactly the one I got the notification for now. It's 10 months later. Even with the pandemic, that's kind of absurd, isn't it?

Feel free to dig through the thread history. I made a bit of an ass of myself contesting it.

I assume those who were happy about it were glad that buyers for other platforms would now be subject to the Switch tax.

Which makes importing to Canada all the more expensive. The exchange rate is not kind to us.

Realistically there should be no reason for increased costs on PS5 games. It's the same old disc in a case... But new logo's now, woo hoo!

Yeah, collecting here is hell.

depends on how Sony does things, PS5 discs are UHD discs which are 66/100GB discs but they may do what they did on PS2 with allowing some games to use CDROM and allow smaller games to use blu-ray discs but i don't honestly think there will be much difference in price wholesale since UHD movies are pretty much the same price that blu-rays where when they were the top format to buy

Edit: NVM. Redundant capt obvious statement. I am not sleeping well and I'm tired.

Jom · Oct 28, 2020

Any chance of doing NMH1 and NMH2 for switch?

So um. PS4 Shantae's not gonna make it out this month is it?

Ugh:

So they've been sitting on the standard PS4 copies "for a while now" and won't ship them out until the collector editions are in. No explanation why they can't mail out the standard editions and the CEs in separate batches.

What the fuck? It's miscommunication like this that makes me loathe dealing with LRG. Jesus Christ. All my shit is being held up because of an unrelated CE.

MrHealthy · Oct 29, 2020

Because I couldn't get Papers Please on vita this year my last order with them was december 27th 2019. So fuck me I guess.

Adam Tyner · Oct 29, 2020

I got excited for a second and then realized my first order was from January 2016. Just missed it!

I miss out because their first game had zero interest to me. Started with them in 2016 with sat rpg

apathetic · Oct 29, 2020

Yup, looks like 2016 was my first year as well. Oh well. :c

atleast it isn't as bad as Ultracore with SLG, i think they started sending out switch copies in october and weren't doing the PS4 orders until they finished so i ended up getting it in february

April 2016 for me RIP

CannonFodder52 · Oct 29, 2020

April 2016 here. Cool for those who were there from the first year though

i-Jest · Oct 29, 2020

Bah, November 2016 for me. Oh well. Enjoy the surprise fellow consumers.

Deleted member 25870 · Oct 29, 2020

No go. August 2016 for me. Shadow Complex was my first.

Curler · Oct 29, 2020

I checked the Wiki, and unless you bought the original Breach and Clear release, you did not start in 2015. Everything after that released in 2016.

Fuzzy · Oct 29, 2020

I didn't start buying stuff until the PS4 Shantae games at the end of 2016.

Zippedpinhead · Oct 29, 2020

I also started with Saturday morning RPG. Bummer but I wonder what it is they are doing

dallow_bg · Oct 29, 2020

Guess I'll be getting that email. Curious what it is.

OrangeAtlas · Oct 29, 2020

Another January 2016 buyer here. So basically just a reward for the early Breach and Clear purchasers.

Man I should have bought that game.

zenosparadox · Oct 29, 2020

Hah, I am in the 2015-2020 club... I wonder what it is gonna be.

Same. I've bought every single Vita title from LRG directly from them since day one.

That's awesome! So now I guess the dilemma is deciding which platform to pick up.

And in other Limited Run news, it looks like Panzer Dragoon should be shipping out before too much longer:

Billfisto · Nov 1, 2020

Good to see Panzer Dragoon's finally almost out.

I wonder what the heck is up with the Jedi games. My Switch double pack has been showing "On Deck" for like a month now.

werezompire · Nov 2, 2020

Cthulhu Saves Christmas is officially PS5 Limited Run #1. :)

No 'price parity' that everyone was expecting, then.

Well, in this case both versions are $30, so there totally is price parity. Just, y'know, not a price increase.

Yeah that's more what I meant, with the assumption that PS5 would be more, and then Switch having to go up from there too.

Curler · Nov 3, 2020

So this looks like good news for more physical copies of localized Japanese games.

kodax_shc · Nov 3, 2020

That is really awesome to see. Maybe they can squeak out another vita release, hah.

I wonder how profitable The House in Fata Morgana was for LRG. They were claiming to have many plans and been in talks with many japanese publishers and developers for localization in 2018 and yet, nothing came from that other than Fata Morgana.

I wonder if it's due to contract/paperwork stuff taking a while. Deals in business can take... a long time. And maybe plans fell apart.

if we can get a PS5/switch port and a good localisation of time travellers i will be happy
