I mean, LRG steps on enough rakes on their own. If the cart/chip reuse stuff isn't accurate then I don't think it's a bad thing to clarify. Most people, myself included, don't have a background in PCB manufacturing so it's nice to hear someone who seemingly does weigh in on the situation.

It gets better: The Shantae GBA carts might just be recycled boards from junk games. Emphasis on might - there's some skepticism in the thread and I don't know enough about GBA carts or how data is read from them to have an authoritative opinion.

Yeah, the video has a bunch of new anecdotes about Josh taking advantage of his position and being a shitty boss. But I don't think it's going to really move the needle for anyone here. At this point people in niche communities like this have already made up their minds about the company. Might...

Never forget that there are plenty of people in this world who have more dollars than sense.

FYI GungHo has said they will reprint the game as needed: https://www.gunghoonline.com/game/lunar-remastered-collection If you missed out this morning don't pay scalper prices, it'll be available again.

It's Amazon only, but nobody knows when the listing will go live. Presumably in the next 24 hours but it could be any time tomorrow. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DP3SK4FQ No. It's not a limited print, but it's exclusive to Amazon and they didn't do pre-orders for whatever reason.

No clue how VGP manages the logistics between their warehouses across the border, I just meant that if you're in America you're not going to have the tariffs applied to your order from them. Can't imagine it's a good time for them, but it shouldn't impact the general consumer (unless you're...

De minimis exceptions still apply to all countries except China. Unless you're ordering more than $800 of items in one shipment your orders with them won't be impacted.

https://x.com/playasia/status/1912360039223898248 The tariff situation changes by the minute so can't help you there though.

When you print games with Sony they send you the complete package - game, case, and manual (if there's a manual) compared to Nintendo who send the carts separate and require assembly. So an American-based publisher printing games with Sony (assuming they use the Indiana plant) wouldn't be...

$666.66 pre-tax/shipping? In this economy? April Fools was last week. Though I guess "charge such exorbitant prices that tariffs don't matter" is one way to deal with that situation.

Limited Rare has only done PS4 games and PS4 discs can be printed in Terra Haute, Indiana at Sony DADC. Sony has other plants too so I don't know how they pick what gets printed there vs. overseas, though. The longest time for years for sure, back in ye olde days when they were just getting...

Two weeks in a row with no new games from LRG after years with no gaps in their release schedule. Guess they're a bit skittish with the tariffs right now. They did put up a Shantae guide book and announced a Doom/Sigil compilation for next week, though.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Merchants can cancel pre-orders for (pretty much) any reason, yes. As long as they provide a refund for any money they've collected they're in the clear. Amazon can cancel CE orders if they oversell, Target can cancel game orders if they made a pricing...

The most common CE contents are folded posters, soundtrack CDs, acrylics, art cards, keychains, and more recently shadowboxes. All of those things cost cents to make and they'll upcharge $30+. These CEs have been cash cows for a long time and I imagine the breakeven point is very low since the...

They can ask you for more money and you can say yes. You pay more and get your item. They can ask you for more money and you can tell them to pound sand. You will get a refund if they aren't willing to eat the extra cost. You can pursue legal action to get them to honor the original terms of...

What's going to hurt LRG the most is the latency between collecting money and fulfilling orders. They sell something for $X with the assumption that they'll pay Y% in tax/tariff/whatnot. If there's suddenly a new 104% tariff on those goods between collecting the money and sending out the order...

They've had a few sales where you could pair it with another game for $100 total (essentially making each game $50), that might be what you're thinking of.

Yeah. I was hoping for some news on the long-ago-leaked FF9 and FFT Remakes but nada. The biggest things on my radar are Expedition 33 and Lunar Remastered, both of which come out this month. I think Fable and Ghosts of Yotei might be the only first-party games on any platform that I currently...

Announcements from the Nintendo Direct: Switch 2 releases June 5th. Will have bundles available at launch. Base console is $450. Screens are LCD, Joy Cons are magnetic, 256 GB on-board (expandable via microSD Express cards, generic microSD cards like the Switch used are not compatible). Switch...
