Anyone else still waiting on their Switch Night Trap?

Got email with tracking number on 17th but tracking still says
Order Processed: Ready for UPS"

There really is no happy medium when they're only making that many copies of this. This game will sell out instantly whether it's split up or they go all in on one edition.

I really just hope that some of their bigger or more unique games have more than this. If something like Fata Morgana or Spelunky only have this many copies then there's no reason to try.

LRG updated the production page again today

We hope to be able to finally ship this game in December. If things seem like they will miss that date, we are going to, at our own expense, ship any items out that are held up due to PixelJunk Monsters 2 - so if you have either Tribute game or Saturday Morning RPG held up waiting for PJM2, we'll make sure you get those before the year is over.

that sounds pretty nice of LRG to do

also Another World/Dragon's Lair are mid November/early December expected

Not gonna lie, feels pretty good living in the lrg world where everything I want is abundant or infinitely preorderable.

Glad to see double switch is preorder... I want to get it but I always prefer to bundle with something to save on shipping.

In the exact same boat. I was told that I'd need to wait for more shipments to be made first but it's kinda insane at this point. Hope to god it doesn't happen with my CSH CE or my Golf Story

Yay, standard edition.

I do wonder whats up with print runs at the moment. I know, limited carts left and all that, but 1800 for salt and sanctuary then 2300 for dragon sinker? I'd have flipped those at the very least.

Is Night Trap really still gonna sell out instantly? I would have figured by now most people would have gotten at least some version of it lol.

Also are we still getting a code for a discount at LRG this week for keeping Golf Story? Would be cool to use on Layers of Fear before it's gone.

Agreements may have been signed a year ago, there's no way to know what LRG committed to...
I wouldn't flip those numbers. S&S has an unlimited version for anybody that desires a physical copy, which you can still readily buy. Dragon Sinker will never see another release. Also Revenant Saga and Antiquia Lost both easily sold 3000 Vita copies in moments. It's plain odd that Dragon Sinker isn't soldout, it's supposed to be the best Kemco RPG we've gotten.

Welp, tried to cancel Golf Story and was shot down. Apparently you could only do it over the weekend and them telling you this was hidden away in another email whose header did not at all really inform you of this. I did not even learn of it until this thread and seeing the Best Buy links posted by Wario64. Sucks and they seemingly could not give one fuck how long you have been a customer and if you have spent hundreds with them which is the most disheartening part.

With my last hurrah with my Best Buy GCU Golf Story was my final purchase but will most likely now cancel. Not sure when they will ship but if anyone is interested in them with the -25% discount plus their local tax(my total was about $26 with NY tax) send me a message.

Yeah they're pretty customer unfriendly about many things. They market the small fan-focused company vibe, and they use the small thing as an excuse when it comes to support or shipping times.. But if you need some small friendly service, forget it.

I'm sorry this happened to you. We sent this Newsletter to 90,000 people and it's the best way to get news from us. Not sure how we could make the heading more obvious.

Header: Limited Run Games at Best Buy

Relevant text: " If you want to gamble your chances on getting a Best Buy copy, we will honor cancelation requests for Golf Story through the weekend."

Were you signed up for the newsletter? Unfortunately, it's not easy to hit every single social media channel with this news which is why we have the newsletter. =/

I did receive it but I thought it would pertain to Yooka-Laylee and possible other future releases. Did not think to check it to see if Golf Story would be one of the games as it was never stated.

Oh well.

That sucks.
Well, at least you'll get some kind of discount code for a future order which hopefully offsets some of the discount you could have gotten with BB.

11 words out of over 1,700. Yeah it could've been a bit more obvious. The clearest way would've been sending a separate email to everyone who pre-ordered Golf Story telling them they could cancel if they want to. Which should've happened since they placed the orders without having any idea it would be sold at Best Buy, unlike Yooka-Laylee.

Yeah. Guess the customers who bought it and aren't subscribed to the newsletter are also out of luck.

LRG offers no goodwill towards their customers... kinda sad. I've been where you are...

Oh wow, didn't know it was only for during the weekend either. Well I guess my cancellation request will be denied now too.

Now I feel silly having said that we could cancel it now.

i don't think the game even went up on bestbuy until tuesday or wednesday so it'd be a big gamble to risk cancelling your LRG order and then getting to the site when it had gone out of stock

So any chance of Outlast for the Switch is going to end up at Best Buy? I don't have the budget for it this month, and would still like to pick it up down the line if so.

I'm hoping for some news on the coupon (for Golf Story purchasers). I want to make my Outlast pre-order soon.

Not sure I wanna bother with Grim Fandango. If I remember correctly, the PS4 version had its fair share of bugs. I'm pretty sure I lost a good hour worth of time because I had to restart a chapter entirely.

As for everyone complaining about golf story, what did you want them to do? They sent you an email that you should've read but you didn't. That's on you. If they change the refund terms for one person they'd have to change it for everyone or risk even more pissed off people.

Frankly, I'm not surprised they didn't blast it all over the place. Every cancellation is another copy they have to sell otherwise. They buried it in an email to minimize cancellations. I would've done the same thing.

I mean yeah it's obvious why they did it that way. Doesn't mean it's not sneaky and also gave no chance to customers not subscribed to newsletters.

I played through Grim Fandango on the PS4, and I don't recall any major bugs, but those can be so personal so who knows.

Also, since I'm in the US, I don't mind iam8bit since it doesn't cost any more than LRG for me.

Lastly, hasn't the return/cancellation stuff always been kind of bad with LRG? I feel like we've always had stories about it.

There's been a couple situations where I've felt they were being a little underhanded. Cosmic Star Heroine is the one that comes to mind.

With golf story and Yooka, I just feel it's a little different. These are open preorders, so no one is stopping Bestbuy or GameStop or Walmart from buying these and selling them, potentially at a markup.

People are going to shit on LRG for any minor infraction. They're not a perfect company, but they get it right most of the time and at least they try to be transparent.

Outlast will not be at Best Buy. We've already announced the first two games, Golf Story and Yooka-Laylee. The third game is unannounced and will be at Best Buy first.

Did they change the limit qty of the regular night trap Vita?

I could've sworn it said Two QTY per customer but during the refresh it showed ONE QTY per customer.

Holy smokes, Night Trap went quickly. Got it though!

Siralim 2 seemed to be listed a minute early, confused me for a second there.

Managed to get both vita releases thankfully, didn't want to have to get on the waiting list like I am for Salt and Sanctuary.
