I've never tried to get a LRG release. Is the shipping within the US crazy expensive? Are they really hard to get? The name makes it sound like something I need to camp in front of my computer for.
I know there was a "minimum guarantee" print run thing Microsoft used to do. Is that still in place?
There are a few that sell out in less than a minute (mostly Vita titles), but Switch titles and a few PS4 ones too all have like a 2 week preorder window. Snagging a copy shouldn't be an issue with this release.
The tweet mentions a four-week pre-order period, which means that pre-orders will be open to all for that period and then however many copies that ends up being, they'll print. In other words, as long as you check in during that month, you'll snag a copy no problem.
I think shipping in the U.S. isn't terrible but it isn't great either? I know Canadian shipping is pretty bad (like up to half the price of the game itself, for cheaper games) and I remember people complaining that LRG doesn't allow you to order a game and have it held back so it can ship with another game that comes out later, which implies to me that people were trying to save on shipping.
I was wondering if you'd show! Thanks again for teaming up with me for this, you're the best! XD

I was hoping it would be $20. I'm guessing it'll have more content than the average beat 'em up, though.
As mentioned earlier in the thread this is an open-preorder title, so as long as you go to the site during the open-preorder period you can order a copy. All of our standard edition Switch titles are open-preorder.
Oof at the price! It looks charming and fun as hell, but like others have said, September is stacked with big releases. I won't be short on big games to play for months. I will definitely add it to my wish list on the eShop and watch for a sale down the line.
Might as well go in for Physical then, honestly. If it doesn't come in til like October, gives me more time to beat my other games too, so win-win.
Never bought a game from LRG before. How long after the 4 week preorder period closes does it take to actually receive the game, roughly?
I kinda want to buy two copies, keeping one sealed and open one (if thats allowed :P), but curious how long it will take before getting it. Living in Europe, it might take like two weeks to get it, and thats a fairly long wait after the release date. I might end up getting one physical copy and on digital copy instead.
What is LRG shipping to UK like? Also are they set up to do import duties up front or is it one of those gambles where the postman might hold it hostage until you pay, with a crappy £8-12+ handling charge on top.
It's a four week open pre-order. You won't have any trouble obtaining a copy.
I'd snatch a physical if they had a PC physical, don't know if I want the PS4 copy when I won't be playing the game on a PS4.
Would be in for a physical Switch copy for sure but LRG so sadly, nope.
International shipping cost is a joke.
International shipping cost is a joke.
I would have gotten it for the Xbox One, but it looks like I'll be getting it for the Switch instead. $35 ain't bad at all. The original River City Ransom probably went for around $40 at launch, or about $80 adjusted.
Not every game needs to be an impulse purchase. WayForward has priced previous games in this style (like Double Dragon Neon) at $15-$20, so if they're charging $30 for this, it's probably a meatier game than most stuff they've released in the past.
Hmm I wonder if there are any differences between the versions of the games. If they are the same and run the same and have no functional problems or big issues with the Switch version unlike Bloodstained I will grab a switch version
