Honestly that can be hard to see. We got a lot of positive reception from our fans and customers for our interaction, transparency, and customer service. Unfortunately, the only stuff you tend to actually see publicly are when people are upset.

Kind of a common trend entirely though. Upset people are more likely to post about it then satisfied people.

I think LRG are now have so many customers that there are more and more angry people in that pool of customers. You should just not let that go onto your nerves. It's the nature of a growing business.

Btw. Joe, are you that guy who playes Mega Man on Switch for the LRG channel? Because of your stream i finally started to play Mega Man games. I already finished Mega Man 1 to 6 on NES and 2 on Game Boy and love the games. Now i'm a little bit sad that i skipped the games when i was a child and don't have the retail versionf of them. But thank you for finally bring me into this fine series. Now Capcom have to release a proper retail release for all of the games without download codes and lag imputs :(

Thanks! And yes, that's me. Thanks for watching! Mega Man is a fantastic series and I'm glad to have brought someone else into it.

The Mega Man Legacy Collections for PS4 are really good. Much better than Switch. Both are available physically as well. MMLC1 for PS4 doesn't have the same input lag issues as Switch. You'd notice the difference immediately.

Also GG on finishing MM2 for Game Boy. That's easily the worst one. 3-5 on Game Boy are genuinely great.

Ignition365 · Aug 16, 2018

Shame that these collections don't add the handheld counterparts. I really like Sonic Mega Collection Plus because it had the Game Gear games.

So that WoL CE is 65$......that counts as "cheap"? I was expecting something between 39 and 45$ to warrant that term. ^^
Most of your CEs are in that price range....now you've got me real worried about "Dust". Is that gonna bei another 100$ affair like "Senko no Ronde II"?

Apart from all this, the WoL CE does look cool, so of course I'm in. It helps that the game itself appears to be really fresh and original!

West of Loathing was originally going to be more of a "Deluxe Edition" vs a full collectors edition which is what we ended up with.

Ramako · Aug 16, 2018

I'm debating whether or not I should get West of Loathing. Can somebody convince me? I mean, I love turn-based RPGs, but the reviews make this seem like more a comedy delivery system than a real game where you get invested in the narrative/story line and feel satisfaction in exploring new areas, leveling up and defeating challenging enemies. Is this something to be enjoyed purely on the basis of its sense of humour?

Ok, thank you! That explains it.

On a related matter, when will we know for sure if "Dust" will be the only game on August 31? Need to do some planning and would really appreciatebthe info.

I don't think it's even releasing on that date anymore

Yeah, seems that way. Hopefully we'll be getting a definitive August schedule soon.

Seafoam Gaming · Aug 16, 2018

Oh no they better not delay Dust for Switch my wallet's all ready for the 31st and everything and I fear if they release it any later it won't ship before 2019.

Too late, apparently. Or at least that's what it sounds like on Discord. An updated and definitive schedule can't come soon enough. :)

I'm a little bit confused as to the reasoning for delaying "Dust". Apparently the CE stuff isn't ready yet, but we all know hiw long Switch games take to get manufactured anyway....this wouldn't have shipped until what, November?

CannonFodder52 · Aug 17, 2018

Grabbed West of Loathing and Oxenfree. Pretty good week for me

shoptroll · Aug 17, 2018

Got West of Loathing as my first LRG order ever!

mattysaurus · Aug 17, 2018

For those wondering about Snake Pass, Super Rare got to it first.

Wonder if this release is exclusive or if NA will get one too. Not a fan of ordering from SRG as the conversion rate is pretty rough.

If I had to guess, I'd say this must be one of those games that LRG passed due to a heavy schedule and somehow Super Rare Games picked it up.

LimitedRunGames · Aug 17, 2018

We asked about it before Super Rare was a thing like two years ago and Sumo wasn't interested at the time. Once time had passed we weren't interested either. Great game but we have so many games now and ones that we are proud of. Glad to see if getting a physical, but everyone here knew Super Rare would be doing it and there are no hard feelings as we had moved on.

there's still a chance at a PS4 version

mattysaurus · Aug 17, 2018

Some much needed clarification. Thanks Doug! All I really care about from Sekai is Rabi Ribi, so this isn't too frustrating for me.

denpanosekai · Aug 17, 2018

I'm looking forward to actual details on Rabi Ribi like the on disc patches and of.course the CE.

Kresnik · Aug 17, 2018

Thanks Doug. 2 years on and they're still not close to finishing before March. Sigh.

Still, I'd take digital Narcissu.

Michael Evanhaus · Aug 17, 2018

Will grab whatever is physical on vita to support LRG... but nothing digital from that Sekai clusterfuck

Semoreh · Aug 17, 2018

This month is SO expensive to me :o
I hope it slows down a little in September because this is crazy ^^'

Curler · Aug 17, 2018

Imma just crossing my fingers on SK LE.... LEs have been slowing down lately, so good for me. Then again, no Switch version so might go fast... I hope it's only 1 per person.

Iori Fuyusaka · Aug 17, 2018

LimitedRunGames What kind of paper is video game cover art printed on? I cannot seem to find a definitive answer anywhere on the internet.

This actually genuinely interests me too. I've always wondered since all the times I wanted to print replacement covers.

I just want to make sure I get Salt and Sanctuary in September.

Oldmario said:

Its nice to see where things stand as of now. Personally I wasn't expecting anything besides Rabi Ribi, so if the others don't happen I'm not surprised. Maybe East Asia Soft can step in for those if need be.

if you can find some glossy paper between 30-40lb , it should be pretty close

Don't wait until the last second to preorder.

Semoreh · Aug 18, 2018

Damn that's harsh. Could have been me trying to secure one order at the very last time ^^'

Yup ! Plus Golf Story is supposed to be September I think.

What's next, Windjammers for the XONE?

Kresnik · Aug 19, 2018

Ys Origin for Switch.

Still crossing my fingers for Napishtim on Vita though.

That sounds about right, considering the deal they made out of windjammers hitting switch. Not that I mind of course, Ys Origin is great. I'd love to see other Ys games hit Switch too, especially Oath in Felghana.

Zippedpinhead · Aug 19, 2018

Any Ys on any platform I own will be bought...

Clov · Aug 20, 2018

So... is VA-11 HALL-A on Vita shipping soon? I haven't heard anything about it lately.

I read it's expected to ship in two to three weeks when I looked on Twitter. It was delayed to September.

Ah, so it's September now... well, looks like I'll have plenty to keep me busy that month, at least!

I'm glad people are hyped for this, but I personally don't get the love for Windjammers. Oh well, maybe Ys news next time.

In other news for my Vita lovers, Bloodstained's Vita port was cancelled.

Windjammers is love. Windjammers is life.

Kresnik · Aug 20, 2018

Windjammers 2 is pretty cool news actually, surprised. Not mad keen on the art though.

mattysaurus · Aug 20, 2018

I think my problem is that I keep expecting Ys or Wonder Boy news. I need to temper my expectations.

I'm sure one or two people in the world reacted how DotEmu thought people would react, but come on, it's getting ridiculous how they really believe people will react like that for something like Windjammers.

Shizuka · Aug 20, 2018

Seafoam Gaming · Aug 20, 2018

Is Windjammers going to be DotEmu's way of trolling people out of good announcements lol

I loved the PS4 version but then the online died super quick and Hamster doing an ACA version with the normal Arcade settings is inevitable so I'm just gonna wait for that. Curious about the sequel though, they could do a TON with it that would make it super addicting and modern, but no gameplay made me not interested... Yet

Lithium Flower · Aug 20, 2018

Pretty underwhelming CE for Senran Kagura but at least it's cheaper than I expected. I still kinda want it just to have a complete North American collection but then I'd have to cancel my order for either 428 or Punchline.

Curler · Aug 20, 2018

Shizuka said:

Plz 1 LE per person :x It's cheaper, so I hope competition won't be too bad. Already set my alarm for Fri a bit earlier, so I can set up tethering

As an owner of the Senran Kagura CE's from North America the only thing ours is "lacking" is an art book. But there really wasn't a lot of art for this game and what there is, was used in the Udon Artbook for the series. I also think $49.99 is fair since they are usually $59.99.

Yeah, I get that you guys did what you could. Just sharing my thoughts aloud and I guess it did come across as more negative than I intended. I follow you on Twitter, Doug, and I know how big of a fan you are of the series so I guess I was just expecting something out there like a boobie mousepad or dakimakura.
