I wonder, given that the Thimbleweed Park Big Box for the Switch is already worth a fortune on eBay. Couldn't a clever collector simply buy the PS4 Big Box and the regular Switch version, and swap the game inside? The boxart on every LRG multi-plat LE has been identical thus far, right?

i'm guessing the cardboard inside is measured to fit a switch case and i think they mentioned they had a sticker mentioning the platform but i don't know if that's just for sealed boxes

When I was checking out this week for Thimbleweed, I kept getting a text message about an authorization code for Limited Run Games. Is this something new? I didn't see any spot to put it in and my order seemed to go through ok.

Where can you find the production updates? I'm absolutely ecstatic to release my Hold order in a couple of weeks but I'm worried Momodora, Super Hydorah and Kero Blaster will hold it back.

Thanks. Didn't really help much in my case but it might come in handy in the future. Seems production is a bit behind.

is it not a paypal or bank payment thing?

I hope there are some oddworlds left over for us waitlist people!

So anyone know why Gamefly is listing the first switch game? Even uses LR box art... They usually only list physical copies they expect to get.

This was brought up before and I'm still not sure what is going on with this.

I was gunna say that maybe they did a bulk buy for the pre-order or something? Then again, if even you guys are unsure, that's weird.

When will you announce April's titles?

Achtung · Apr 2, 2018

That could just be just a web scrape where they are getting release dates. It is possible that game never actually is in stock. will be interesting to watch as they call out an April release date.

Thimbleweek Park (Switch):

"We've surpassed 10,000.

This is insane and going forward we will continue to use the open pre-order system on Switch.

Thank you, everyone!"

Excellent. I'm excited to get mine.
There are many indies on Switch that I'd love to get in cartridge form. Hope they do FAST, or Stardew Valley in the future.

So it's already been a big success for LRG and Switch pre-orders are here to stay. Fantastic News :)

Clive · Apr 2, 2018

It's undoubtedly the biggest seller so far for LRG when we factor in CEs and the PS4 versions. Nice to see. Indies work great on portables.

sir_crocodile · Apr 2, 2018

Close to 20K all told.

Saoshyant · Apr 2, 2018

There's still 219 copies available of Thimbleweed for PS4, not too many, but I imagine not ideal either for LRG.

Much less ideal however is the big box version. That one's likely to be a problem: there's 401 of them left, nearly double of the standard release. I guess people aren't seeing the value on that one.

sir_crocodile · Apr 2, 2018

If you have both a PS4 & Switch, the Switch version makes more sense because not only is there the usual hybrid argument, you can use touchscreen controls - which is helpful for a P&C game.

Animekatt · Apr 2, 2018

I'm going to preorder the Switch version this Friday. That's great news with how much it has sold so far.

Delusibeta · Apr 2, 2018

I assume that at least the confirmed releases for the Switch will also be open pre-orders?

It also means that we can assume the regular edition pre-order count started from 0, since the quantity there stands at -7389. Combined with the 3000 already-spoken-for Big Box copies, and that would be yer 10k.

Well, it's only becomes a problem when the stock arrives. Odds are good that they'll be all be ordered by the time the games arrive and shipping begins.

mattysaurus · Apr 2, 2018

Overall I love open preorders, but it's a bummer we won't get the game until July. Still, if this is the cost we pay to make sure everyone gets a fair shake, it's fine.

Every single time I type "Thimbleweed" I have to backspace and replace the k with a d. Every single damn time, including this one when I was specifically typing about its spelling!

Achtung · Apr 2, 2018

Awesome news on the 10k with plenty of time left. My hope is to grab every one as they release so I hope the pre order continues with future sales... certainly sounds like it will! Well done LR and keep those spines with numbers in the same place please :)

100USD for the limited edition, I knew it.

test_account · Apr 2, 2018

Wow, 10k+ is great! Thimbleweed Park for Switch is the first uncapped order that LRG has put out, isnt it? Or was Skullgirls also uncapped?

Reluctant-Hero · Apr 2, 2018

Hell yeah, I'm glad to see that my fellow Switch users showed up in force for Thimbleweed. So 10K for standard 3K for the LE. Not too shabby...

Senko no Ronde 2's CE prices too high for me. Standard it is.

Skullgirls and then Ys Origin, I believe.

I see, i didnt know about Ys Origins (i bought it, but must have forgotten about if it was uncapped order).

I'm also curious if LRG will give out the final number of copies if they're going to do this pre-order systems going forward.

About damn time they do open preorders from now on! Very good news.

Zippedpinhead · Apr 2, 2018

It probably makes sense due to the costs of cartridges. Bigger order easier margins. The fact that it worked out confirms it!

I have a Switch physical wishlist, but I don't want to jinx it

Shizuka · Apr 2, 2018

What other console titles does Degica have that could get a physical release? I feel like pretty much all of them got one by now.

Clive · Apr 2, 2018

Seems the standard edition of Senko no ronde 2 will be $49.99. Gonna have to go with that one myself since April will be a crazy expensive month for me. Can't wait to open it up and play it. That's what they're for, right? I actually finally got around to opening up Astebreed and Jotun just recently and had a great time with both. With the exception of Night Trap all the games I've opened up and played have been solid.

mattysaurus · Apr 2, 2018

Senko no Ronde is a pass for me. At $50 there are other titles I'd rather have (not a dig on LRG at all, just the fact of the matter). TBF, it'd probably be a pass at $30 too.

I know you totally want another title like Home.

Jk. :P

Hah, honestly I'm still waiting on a sale for bayonetta or Kirby Star Allies, and I'd rather spend my money on that. Plus, I'm not too big on fighting games, even ones with shmup elements.

Semoreh · Apr 2, 2018

Great news about the preorder figure, let's hope it's not just the novelty of a Switch game talking but a lasting trend :)

I've taken the PS4 version of Thimbleweed but now I'm debating a double-dip since I've read time and time again it could be more suited to the touchscreen ...

Reluctant-Hero said:

I think Delusibeta is right to think the total is 10k, with a 7/3k split between standard and collector editions.

Hey guys, I really need some help.
Does anyone have scans of the backs of some LRG PS4 games? Futuridium, Lost Sea, or Dragon Fantasy?

I was selling the only LRG PS4 games I had bought (first 10) and someone returned 3 of the games to me. No problem.... but there's something weird about these.... I think the sent me back bootlegs.
They're Y sealed, but the covers look odd, not quite as colorful, and the back text and barcode just don't look as sharp as it should. I'm an idiot for not noticing sooner I think.

WTF

Can't post something like this without posting some pics for everyone to judge :P.

dallow_bg · Apr 3, 2018

I'm just too pissed off right now.
When I opened up the package it reeked of cigarettes. In my gut there was something not 100% right about them but the damn smell distracted me.
I put them in a box with some charcoal bags to eat the odor and after a few days went ahead and gave him a refund minus 20% for "damage". The smell did lessen, but I wasn't going to give a full refund. That was this morning.

Now looking at the games closer... ugh. So stupid.
Currently writing to Amazon about this violation.
