You made it just in time for the LRG Showcase! It would be amazing to get some real insight tbh… assuming you aren’t bound to an NDA. Would also be nice to know the status of ROTBK Vita before you left, assuming a release date isn’t announced tomorrow.
I do believe the MOQs and production pipeline issues are definitely variables in the equation. While MOQs may be a newer issue, the problems with production pipeline and backlog have been an issue for quite a while, and have only gotten steadily worse. LRG has attempted to implement changes to...
My assumption is that they intended to trickle sales at a later date, but that the blow-up with the “Limited Rare” logo on the back of the case styled after LRG’s logo caused legal issues preventing the further releases.
My leading theory is that Poop Slinger was released by the developer themselves, Diggity.net (Darth Leanza). I had reached out to Diggity.net at the time of its release (4/1/19) in an attempt to confirm it was not a scam, and Darth himself responded to me by email stating “This is indeed legit...
He also mentioned the potential for rereleasing popular sold out games (ie. Shantae Pirate’s Curse, River City Girls) for other regions, as that would not count as an ESRB reprint. I actually applaud his recent efforts at transparency, and his general honesty with some of LRGs shortfalls. I...
Two other Asian region releases with ESRB ratings that come to mind are Daemon X Machina and Blaster Master Zero Trilogy.

The fact that Binding of Isaac made it so long without promo copies being leaked gives me a glimmer of hope that Nicalis may just be really good about keeping it under wraps. Still makes no sense to me why they wouldn’t be transparent about it though, since it inevitably will lead to some...
I genuinely want to know if someone successfully ordered both standard and CE copies of the Vita versions, which I believe went on sale at the same time. I’m convinced it’s impossible.
I’d love to know your technique… I figured it was hard enough trying for the Vita standard edition, let alone trying to add another item on top of that! Those games were gone faster than they were even posted!!!
