Anybody back at the n64 level and not getting this? they seem to think not all n64 backers will buy the ce.
Got my N64 code an hour ago, the codes are valid until Sunday.

I didn't back it, but I wish I could also get the special packaging they will :x
Sounds like the remaining stock will be sold after the Sunday deadline, you might be able to get one that way.
LRG email said:
As a backer of Yooka-Laylee at the higher tier, you get exclusive early access to an extremely discounted backer exclusive variant of the Yooka-Laylee Collector's Edition. If you would like to purchase one, you can do so now! Please note that you will only have until 11:59PM Eastern Time on Sunday, September 9th to place your order before the remaining copies are released to the public.

Furi hasn't been "officially" announced via a tweet, right ? ^^

I have the PS4 version but this is one game I might consider upgrading if the framerate is solid on the Switch. Need to investigate.

September schedule:

7th
Yooka-Laylee (Switch)
Narcosis (PS4)

14th
Furi (Switch)
Salt & Sanctuary (PS4/Vita)

28th
Golf Story (Switch)
Title TBA (PS4/Vita)

I'm not sure if this has been addressed prior, but what happened to the two Switch releases a month declaration from months ago? I buy each release's collector's edition, and $150 or so a month is already quite a bit to spend just on this one site. That's nearly $2000 a year as is.

Successfully ordered my backers CE edition. My first LRG purchase. Shame there is no option for a PAL edition.

I wonder if we'll ever get Wii U games - Axiom Verge seems otherwise completely cancelled on it.

I still haven't got an email with a coupon :/ Is the early opening only for the 64-bit backers?

I think so. The email contains a link to the N64 variant preorder and a unique code that gives you the backer discount (the game is listed separately for $249.99 right now on their store).

It also includes a 10% discount code for the standard edition and the CE that you can use once the game is up on Friday. I think this will be the same discount code for all KS backers.
LRG email said:
You can use the code [removed] to take 10% off of the regular Classic Edition or the game's Standard Edition.

Did you change your email since the KS? I can PM you the 10% code if you want, it's not personalized.

edit: sent

Looks like the CE variant only shows up through that link, since I don't see it on the main store. Got a pic? Curious what it looks like.

As for the email, I got the email that was telling backers about the deal. At least one other person on the KS comments was asking about ut tonight, too.

The code I received seems generic right? Would be nice to know if the special CE also has a generic one :P

It's fortunate I'm not planning to get the Switch Yooka Laylee because I've yet to receive the Kickstarter code... would have shared it if I had. But I feel like the whole "24h coupon" is not a good recipe.

Couldn't bite on Yooka-Laylee at that price. I think I already have it on Steam and PS4, and it's just too expensive with the Switch and LRG physical taxes added on.

Yooka LE sold out fast!

Shows how different collectors value different things. I had a couple of those non-functioning display carts and tossed them. The whole idea seems s strange to me.

Looks like I paid $30 on Steam and $40 on PS4, but that was a year and a half, 2 years ago. So I guess the price isn't too horrible in that context, it's just an old game.

I have no idea if I had an unintentional full set of their Swith games going, but this would put an end to that.

Yooka laylee is just too expensive for me. I have a backer discount code if anyone wants it.

Edit: code has been given away.

On another note, I have sealed CE's for both Windjammers releases. The boxes are huge so I've been pondering getting rid of them. Any interest here?

I let my Neo Geo nostalgia get to me.

Those emails were all sent out yesterday, I believe they're tied to one of the Kickstarter updates. I would recommend double checking your spam folder in case it was filtered out, otherwise if you'll contact support with the email you used on Kickstarter I'll see if there's anyway for us to pull that info

I didn't even receive the email until 4am PST, so only 3 hrs before the sale :x I guess they sent out very slowly to everyone.

Got YL standard (with my brother's backer coupon) and Narcosis because it looked neat.

Skipping S&S next week in lieu of the Switch release, on the fence with Furi because I didn't care for it the first time I played it and I own it on PS4... but Switch... Hope they announce the late September title soon.

imo i don't really like how LRG handles the code stuff

i remember with Stranger's Wrath and the cards, they could've delayed it being sent out like they usually do now but instead they gave us a code to get the cards seperate, only problem was like only 2-3 games came out within the month period for the code and i only had a small interest in 1 of those games meaning i could've missed out

edit: i was wrong, there were 8 games in the period but i only had interest in 1 or maybe 2 of them

I'm all for Best Buy carrying LRG releases. I'd be very happy to get free shipping, 20% off, Reward Points, and discounts when they go on sale/clearance.

Well, the 20% is only as good until your GCU expires (mine is up in a few months...) They also mentioned that they are willing to send prints of the unique cover arts for those that already bought online. I'm down for that option!

You know, Best Buy can just disable GCU on these games just like they do for Black Friday
Apples and oranges. They haven't removed any games from being eligible for the 20% off, even expensive Collector's Editions or super limited items like the Breath of the Wild Master Edition. I got mine for 20% off there. They wouldn't do that for LRG releases.

Not that I doubt your words but we'll see how this all plays out eventually.

Unknown title on the 28th please don't be something I want.


I didn't mean GCU, that's why I said "Best Buy" as we also have Best Buy in Canada. I'm just wanting to know if LRG would also be available in Canada.

I see I see. It would be nice if LRG titles were available at Bestbuy Canada. If it does happen, i can see it be online only.
