Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media

- Start date
I don't think that will happen. It won't be strange to see PS4 and Switch versions of games side by side, order ready, going forward. We're already seeing it.
On the other hand, Nintendo's new darling platform is slowly overtaking Playstation as THE place to play indie games, or so I hear. If Golf Story and Dragon Marked for Death are any indication, devs are making exclusives for Switch going forward. Indie games are making there way to the console, more and more. With that in mind, its easy to see why Switch orders are here to stay.

I also believe the Switch is selling well in Japan and the PS4 really isn't, right? I wouldn't be surprised if we see Japanese b-tier game support move almost completely over to the Switch as well.
Yes, but PixelJunk Monsters 2 got a lot of angry feedback because the price and the game itself. And Thimbleweed Park is imo a much bigger indie game.
PJM2 did around 4,000 to 4,500 copies on Switch, i think that's okay for that game.
7000 units total, standard + CE ?
Given PS4 CE was 1500 and Switch CE was 2500 that would mean only 3000 units of the standard edition were sold for both platforms ?
Specifically since he says the PS4 sold arount 2500-3000 units that would mean PS4 Standard sold around 1000 and Switch Standard sold around 2000.
That's not much...
But boy do people really show up for their collector editions ^^
Cosmic Star Heroin figures are not too concerning because as far as we know the tweet could mean 5k standard units were sold on the PS4 and 5k standard units were sold on the Vita, which would be fine.
(on the contrary 5k total would seem low for this release)

Sounds like it will be live-streamed on their Twitch channel like last year.
$30 for standard edition?
Edit: and i'm totally lbind it shows it right there in the picture.

Yes, that is the standard price for Switch games from LRG.
I'm hoping there's going to be some overlap between Slime-san's preorders and the next round of games on the 22nd, save a wee bit on shipping.
Well, we already know that there's going to be a round of releases on June 22nd, so I'm guessing then.
That's all it would take for this E3 to satisfy me. I'm easy to please.
I think and hope so. If LRG starting every first and third friday a pre order for Switch games, i can always order at the thrid friday two games and can save a lot of shipping costs (15 USD per order, thats 7.50 USD for each game).
I think i would not order that much games from LRG if i had to pay 15 USD for the shipping of every game.
Yeah, I had to do that for a while. Hold shipment has been very helpful at keeping me engaged at buying through the international shipping costs
OP
OP
In case anyone never heard, several Reset members are running a Discord channel for limited physical releases that also served as the base for migrating members from the old forum from the original Limited Run thread. A permanent link has been posted in the OP for future reference as well.
Alternatively, for those of us who don't have discord, is this pretty cool website from Germany: https://limitedgamenews.com/
I use the calendar subscription they put out. It used to be really spotty if they added to it (and I missed out on something I wanted because they didn't put it on the calendar), but they are not only much more consistent about it, but they also properly mark all-day events so it doesn't screw up my calendar. I honestly don't need to know more than a week or so ahead of time what is and isn't coming out; I don't need to hype myself to buy something, and I have the cashflow to get a game every once in a while (not a collector!).
That's a neat site, but I wonder why they list stuff like Ys and Valkyria 4? Those are by no means 'limited'.
EDIT: Looks like they just plug whatever rareish games get posted on Play-Asia as they are affiliates (and stuff by LRG and the like)
Darn, also looks like the Shelter: Generations game is already done for PAL region. (I only collect the NAs so no good for me >_>)

The LRG calendar helps me always a lot. So i can look at day i can pre order two or more games together to save shipping costs.
Well since we are talking discords, some of us over at the LRG forums started a discord to track limited releases from the various companies. We have reps from most of the companies (Just missing a rep from SLG at this point).

On the fence with the Slime San CE. On the one hand, I love steelbooks, but when it's going to just sit in a box it's sorta what's the point. Doug, I would love LRG to offer just the steelbooks separately. :)

Thinking about selling off my LRG trading cards since it's not my cup of tea. I just have them in the game cases now since I don't want to buy a binder. What's the best way to get rid of these, LRG forums or eBay? Lot or singles?
Depending on the size and price of the lot I'd possibly be up for buying them over PM. Which cards do you have? If not here, then the LRG forums would be the next best place
Possibly as a "We need space sale", but I can't honestly say for sure.
Doug, can you reveal what's coming on June 22 and June 29? I'm sooo tempted with the "Slime-San" CE but also worried that it would force me to skip another potentially important release later this month. If you could announce the rest of June before Friday, that'd be dope!
Use the google calendar from LRG. It's easy to track their releases with that calendar.
Woof, everyone just needs to watch the E3 video!
June 22nd games will be announced next week as well, I think?
There are definitely some huge Vita games coming in that E3 video!

Definitely pumped for the E3 video, but next week is kinda late for people who are pondering the "Slime-San" CE... :)
Could you at least tell us how many more games are slated for the rest of June after this week? And how many of those will have CEs, if possible. Would help!
Will some of that include localization projects? Only one way to find out. Am hyped!
