Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
- Thread starter GodzillaDB
- Start date
Oh, thanks for the heads up. That's really tempting.
I see a seller with them for 14GPB with free shipping, that's under $25CAD. I'm not sure why I should wait to pay $25USD + international shipping.
Do they charge international shipping? I see UK shipping is free, so I assume they do.
I must be dumb but after rereading the thread I don't get how this is incriminating LRG in any way :x
The shady seller offered unlimited quantities of this Jason code, but that's not a game created, nor published, nor supported by LRG.
Edit : they apparently helped send the physical Kickstarter rewards but from what I gather they weren't in charge of generating codes.
They also sold a few physical items related to LRG, and some PAX passes but not in an unlimited quantity far from it (like a few trading cards if I get it). We're not talking exclusive codes or anything like that.
So the problem is clearly on Friday the 13th's developer side, Smoking Gun (apparently closing topics on their forum talking about that), and I legitimately don't get why LRG is singled out and thrown as part of this "shady scam". Apart from the fact the seller is apparently living in Raleigh, and a lot of people live there, including some Smoking Gun staff like OP himself confirmed, there's nothing compelling.
This topic is poorly written when it incriminates two companies and fail to explain why one of them is accused. It undermines the rest of the investigation, because the Friday the 13th codes indeed look odd. OP keeps quoting the same thing when asked about LRG's implication, but it doesn't actually explain anything.
Also LRG's name is used sometimes in the following posts instead of Smoking Gun, proving the confusion is shared. Like when someone says "topics on LRG's forum were closed" or "LRG communicated about this a few days ago", when it just wasn't the case.

i think detective reddit came to this conclusion because they had a couple LRG games for sale on the account and their location was set to the same city as LRG and that's pretty much it
I still don't understand how all of this was supposed to be working out. Weren't Mighty Rabbit supposed to be porting the engine they're all made in into Unity so they could be ported to PS4/Vita? And that was supposed to be finished in like Q1 2017 and we haven't had much of an update since?
But Narcissu was announced after all this so I've no idea if that was included as part of this agreement.
Either way, it'd be nice just to have a proper update. I'm sure we're going to hear of Switch versions coming too, which is fine, I just want them to finish up the Vita version :P
Side note, Root Double was supposed to have been submitted for ratings approval a while ago and nothing on that since. I hope LRG can find a way to do a retail release of that too, even though I know it's too big for one cart (do a special version with two carts like SD Gundam did?)
Not really digging this week's releases but I need a break anyway so w/e. They'll sell out as always.
The reality is that with a print of a few thousand copies, it is just not going to be worth it to do the coding and print an extra cart. I mean right now LRG isn't even able to put the latest patch on a Vita cart.

Is it really taking Mighty Rabbit almost two years to release a single port for Sekai Project?

I'm holding out juuuust in case they have a Limited Edition for it.
Not worth it for them to do 2 carts.
yes. I remember that "2017" was an estimated release date for one of their titles
While I think Rabi Ribi will happen (probably around the middle of the year,) I think all these other games are DoA.
This was the plan at some point but some issues seem to have cropped up and prevented it from happening.
Fault and WEE were actually shown off at PSX a few weeks ago, so they still exist, in digital-form at least. But there hasn't been anything said on those about an actual release yet.
The PS4 version of WEE only was there. While they still say they intend to do Vita as well I expect it will be cancelled down the road as work on it likely has yet to even get off the ground.
I had been collecting all of the LRG releases until I missed a few at the end of last year/beginning of this year. It was a blessing in disguise because now that my complete collection is broken, I have no desire to get all the LRG releases.
I didn't like Home when I played it, and Factotum 90 doesn't appeal to me so I'll be skipping those. But I'm looking forward to some of their other upcoming releases.

Well, if they were only charging for one cart sure... :P
Additional programming wouldn't make it worthwhile, specially since it's a japanese developer that didn't bother to do it for the japanese release in the first place.
Stop ruining my dreams, LRG thread!
OT: I wonder when we're getting Revenant Saga. The ESRB rating seems like a long time ago.
Rabi Ribi is scheduled for next month and does have a limited edition.
Just thought I should give everyone a heads up!

What about the games Mighty Rabbit was supposed to be porting for Sekai Project?
Sweet! Glad I waited! As a European it sure was tempting to get the game for 12£ but now I'm glad I didn't, so I can see what LRG's version looks like. :) I'm happy you're still doing CEs for select titles.
Please reveal your February line up soon....the wait is haaaard!
EDIT: I heard today that you practically have to destroy or at least damage the box from the "Windjammers" CE in order to take out the game or the frisbee....and that you can shake out the poster underneath the frisbee, kind of. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Would be a shame, the box looked to good in theory.
Mighty Rabbit gave those games back and Sekai Project is handling them. They are almost done and we even had one of them running at PSX.
Not sure how people are opening them if they are destroying the box... I had no trouble opening them, granted I'm biased but still!
(I sure hope Sekai is also almost done on the PC disc copies, too :x)
Waiting on (slow) UPS for my Windjammers, so haven't opened them yet. I did find River City/Double Dragon to be so tightly fit, you had to be careful when opened (not much room to put your fingers under the flaps). I hate soooooo much when I accidentaly make those bends in the middle of my LE boxes, but depending on how they are packaged/fit in, it's hard not to :(
Could you take all items out of the box without damage? Someone spoke of having to cut through glue with a knife carefully so it wouldn't tear. There's even a photo....it's on that German forum nexgam LRG has an account on, so maybe you can check it out. It's all in the dedicated LRG thread there....looked quite worriesome but it's good to hear it should all work without issues.
By the way, are you guys doing "Super Hydorah"? Everyone keeps saying they're NOT handling that one and I'm beginning to think that nobody will be doing a physical release after all. ^^ (Play-Asia seemed to be the frontrunner but they're out, it seems....so maybe you're back in?)
Yes, I could take them out!
I can neither confirm nor deny Super Hydorah at this time.
:D
If there ever comes a time at which you will be able to confirm it, please consider a really nice CE, maybe with a model landscape, i.e. a diorama....it's such a beautiful "Gradius" style look which would really shine in model form.
If we did it I was thinking it'd be sweet if it was in a SNES style box!
Nice!!! That would work too. :)
Shame this is all just hypothetical.... ^^
I know I have done a lot of grousing here and in the old country on the volume and quality of communication from LRG. So I wanted to mention that I feel like communication has been really good recently. Frequent, to the point and highly-responsive when there is a general unease about stuff. When the weirdness happened with the stolen codes at the distributor LRG's response was darn near immediate. Communication recently has been damn good.
If only they announced games sooner, we would be golden... but there is always some excuse :(
Any updates on when The Bit Trip or the Sigma game will ship out? Curious on if I should expect any of them this week or next or not until the end of the month, shipping page wasn't really helpful
LimitedRunGames I got shipping notice on Jan 28th but its still waiting to be picked up according to the tracking. Is this normal or should I escalate it somehow with your customer service?
UPS stinks with scanning sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it for another week, to be honest.
My package with Mecho Tales hasn't updated yet. All the tracking shows is that it was shipped in the US.
I am super excited by all this Super Hydorah talk!!!! All hail Locomalito!
And thanks for confirming Rabi Ribi LE!

Hi guys, so my boyfriend and I collect LRG stuff and got a mystery Black Friday box. We ended up getting Runner 2 LE PAX cover. I was hoping for atleast a Saturday Morning RPG. Is there anyone out there that doesn't have mine that would be willing to trade? Anyone with doubles wouldn't make me feel as bad. lol
