    Limited Run Games Thread - We only promise our NES games will work, not your console

    They are really basic NES games. The soundtracks are also 'games' in that you play (Start/load) the game to play the soundtrack, and the songs have little optional minigames during them. It's more of a cool novelty when played directly on an NES for the sound/animations, these are just ports to...

    My upcoming list is: Death End re;Quest Code Z, Atelier Yumia (waiting for a sale though), DOA Venus Vacation Prism, and while not a niche Japanese game I'm also looking forward to the turn based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I wonder if that Tactics R-Type I II Cosmos game will actually come...

    I think he owns the rights to *their* localization and voice acting, and that another localization/recording could be done, they just can't reuse his?

    I have a couple of things doing the same thing - made it to my city and now it's been sitting there for about 10 days. Agreed. VGP has been pretty reliable for me. There is also a postal strike in Canada at the moment, which may be adding to delays.

    Oh, gotcha. You're right, VGP does sometimes list a distro title as [LIMITED RUN GAMES] / [LRG] Forgot about that. (Example: Mary Skelter 2 https://videogamesplus.ca/products/mary-skelter-2-lrg-switch?_pos=2&_sid=9d52428f0&_ss=r ). But yes, Grandia HD does seem to be a numbered entry unfortunately.

    They are a bit pricey. MSRP from LRG was $55 so it's about $15 more. VGP will do free shipping at that price and no tax though, so it narrows the difference a little. The PS4 copy is also listed as a Limited Run Games copy. The Switch one on their site is an Asia English import, is that the one...

    VGP has 2 Xbox copies of Grandia HD in stock if anyone was after that version. (PS4 is still OOS) https://videogamesplus.ca/products/grandia-hd-collection-limited-run-games-14-xbox-one?variant=45576265826561

    I think maybe they don't pick up the retro stuff, like the 8-bit Music Power NES games? Some stuff sells out pretty quickly (Grandia HD seemed to) but yeah otherwise it seems like they get most everything.

    Skype on PSP came as part of Sony trying to incentivize people off of an old firmware that was jailbroken by adding new features. Didn't matter once that one was broken too, but it was an interesting approach for them to take. I got a PSP for DJMAX Fever. Bringing back to topic relevance, once...

    I'm sad it didn't extend to video games. I have a very small physical anime collection (Steins;Gate, Promare, Hyperdimension Neptunia - that's it) but I used this to add a few things to it. Gushing Over Magical Girls, Akiba Maid War, Vermeil, and Seven Mortal Sins. This works the same as the...

    The code you get for creating an account and leaving it in your cart is different from 'upupdowndown10'. This code from the email worked on the game for me. It is only valid for 24 hours after they send it to you. I assume you need to get the email to have it work on your account and that it...

    Agreed, it was a great generation overall. I did eventually get a PS2 while it was still the current gen- my friend's fell off their desk and wouldn't turn on anymore. Their parents bought them a new one, but I asked if I could have the broken one. It turns out it was just the power button's...

    I buy the narrative that "Dreamcast was SEGA finally getting it right, but it was too late". It likely wouldn't have lived on as the best of that generation, but I think it could have had a decent showing. Only SEGA console I ever had as a kid was a Genesis, with very few games and got it very...

    Speaking of game figs, has anyone ever dealt with Lunar Toy Store before? I want the Apex Toys DJMAX Respect Race Queen figurines (First fig of the character in my avatar!) (preorder ends 9/29) Direct from the DJMAX store is the best price ($135ish), but requires a Korean proxy service. Direct...
