Same for me except swap "Xbox One" with "Nintendo 64".

I have huge nostalgia for the original releases, but these remastered ports are a pretty massive upgrades, while still maintaining the original games. At least they're cheaper than those were! Lol

Just be aware that Turok 2 Seed of Evil on Switch does not include multiplayer.

Goemon's Great Adventure is easily one of my favorite N64 games. Miss that series.

That and the N64 version of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. Loved those games. It's a shame the franchise stopped being brought over ... though at least we got Konami Crazy Racers.

I really, really need to get Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. I absolutely love that game. It's so bloody expensive, though.

 
So does the Timespinner PO end at midnight tonight or the end of the day tomorrow? Says ends 8/16 but I never know what that means.

It will end tomorrow, but I wouldn't wait until the last minute as they can and have cut off orders early in the evening so they don't have to order another 1,000 copies to fulfill straggler orders.

 
Anyone with experience with The Bard's Tale on PS4? Never played the original (well, talking about the PS2 original here, not the 80s PC trilogy), but reading up on it seems like this port is riddled with bugs, softlocks, and crashes. Assuming LRG's version is the same, seems like a great reason to skip it. Unless there were updates of some kind that fixed all that?

 
Logistically they really need a break week. I'll do my usual production updates post tomorrow, but from a quick glance it looks like the only thing they've shipped out in the first half of the month is Jak III (even though they had ~2 dozen games slated to ship this month). Their backlog just keeps growing.

Do they not do those small individual sets of cards anymore like for toe jam & earl, or night trap? I bought a lrg card binder and been getting those small sets of cards for it but haven't seen them in a while.

Like I really want that set of Atari cards that came in that ce but I'm not buying the whole ce just for them. If I could buy them separate I would.

If the switch game is even relatively decent. BB is going to pick it up. The disclaimer at the bottom of the production pages are actually bogus. BB has yet to cancel an order and I would figure if they did LRG wouldn’t be very happy about it. So to sum it all up, theres no need to buy 90% of the switch games from LRG. Even the ps4 games, as someone has previously mentioned, are not worth getting. You can find most of them on ebay for less since they are mostly hot garbage cash grabs.

It isnt bogus. It's there just incase there is a time where it isnt sold at retail as it might said or hinted by lrg or bestbuy. It's called a disclaimer.

And there is plenty of reason to buy it from lrg as it will be the exact same game so not like that will matter, it will have lrg cover art, a trading card, a manual which the retail release may not have one, and it will cost the same.

And SOME games can be found for less on ebay, not every single one of them and there is no way of telling till after the fact. Also worth mentioning, just because you and some others say they are garbage doesn't mean everyone does.

People are allowed to like things.

so will the ps4 version of river city girls be rarer since best buy isn't selling that version?

My guess is yes since LRG has stated in the past when they do open preorders for Switch and PS4 versions of the same game, the Switch version outsells the PS4 version by a large amount. In fact, some of their lowest print run PS4 games had been open preorders.

Jfc, yet another shitshow for the Turok CEs. Added to cart the second they were available, clicked checkout, took 30 seconds to load, boom sold out. I don't know why I even try tbh.
 
LRG sometimes amazes me with their bundle decisions and quantities.  The Turok Classic Edition bundle sold out in under a minute, yet the individual Classic Editions are still available.  One would think more customers would be interested in buying them together then individually, hence they should have allotted more to the bundle.  Oh well, ended up getting them individually so I guess I miss out on the slipcover that they were including in the bundle.

Loading times are taking so long that the 1st one was sold out by the time I could click on it. Second one is still available but I don't want to try to get one at a time. It's so frustrating.

Edit: 2nd is gone. Damn man.

Bard's Tale down to just over 100 copies and Slime-San seems pretty safe at over 500 copies left.  Slime-San may last the weekend after the 2nd batch is live.

On Twitter they’re saying you’ll still get a slipcover.
 
FYI, according to their Twitter, LRG will include the slipcover if you bought the CEs separately.  So it may be best to do that in the 6pm drop.

Edit:  Just noticed the post above mine!

I really wanted Rogue Legacy and there is nothing of interest to pair it with the last couple of weeks so I'm going to wait for the Best Buy version. No reason to pay the up charge when I get better benefits from buying at Best Buy.

 
Bard’s Tale is a fun game. I’ve been playing the PSN version and I’ve seen no notable glitches. I’m not a big performance geek so it may have some issues for others- seems fine.

PC version is also $10. Does this work well with a controller? Wondering if I should just get it on PC instead.

Ended up getting it on PC for $10.

The disclaimer is there because they probably noticed a drop in sales after they agreed to distribute titles through best buy thats why i feel it is there. I could 100% be wrong, I usually get all the switch games but i dont need to get it from them if its going to be at best buy. If you buy it on the website you have limited window of time. I rather just go pick it up whenever i feel like. They are all available, there is not a single release given to BB that is sold out. Those small extras they give out are window dressing that I personally dont care about enough to shell out my money ahead of time before i receive the game.
 
Five more Vita release dates to go guys, the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight. Meat Boy is probably going to be particularly brutal, so I'm really not looking forward to that. I also have no clue why they reverted to 2 per person for Revenant Dogma, I don't think there's a real risk of any of the Vita titles not selling through at this point.

  • River City Girls Vinyl
  • Revenant Dogma (PS4 + Vita)
  • Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX (PS4 + PS4 CE + Switch + Switch CE)

Of note:

  • LRG picked up the pace a little, but they only shipped 6 SKUs in the past 2 weeks (and 10 total in August)
  • Project Lux finally got a date and should be shipping soon
  • LRG has 96 separate sold SKUs pending shipment. Considering a lot of these are open pre-orders we don't know the exact quantities, but if we estimate low at 2,000 then they need to ship about 192k units of already-sold product.This is up six SKUs from two weeks ago (even with a break week)
  • Last year, in Q3/Q4 LRG wasn't able to get their games pushed through Sony's production process due to a lot of other big name games being released and needing that factory time. I expect the same to happen this year, which will only compound the delays.
  • LRG lists over 20 games as shipping now or shipping soon, if their current pace keeps up that will take them about two months to ship out. I believe everything in this category is stuff they have on hand so hopefully the pace picks up, but I would interpret anything listed as September for October/November and so on if you're trying to figure out when you'll get your items.

Actually they haven’t been doing this for a full year yet. I get that you feel compelled to defend it and got backed into a wall a bit... but making untrue exaggerated statements to emphasis your point only makes your whole statement seem invalid and with false intention.

They put the blurb on there to warn people, but also so as not to piss everyone off that would rather buy from a regular retailer with a huge shipping infrastructure. The risk is super low that BB will back out since they have yet to back out of a deal yet. But if BB does back out LRG’s ass is covered since they warned people. Either way, weigh the risk and buy however you want. The only harm is if you don’t buy from LRG directly you cost them a sale since BB’s purchase is a fixed amount. LRG though didn’t lose any money since they manufacture the amount preordered so it’s not like they get stuck with stock... more like BB has one less to sell.
