Lol I love this thread so much

Honestly I'm surprised that these Cave games haven't had a Japanese release yet, or at least I haven't heard of any. Mushi has been available on the Switch for awhile now but LRG's version is still the only physical release. Maybe they're still in the works (I guess we'll see) but in the...

Don't think so, and as always shmups are a very niche thing so I wouldn't count on someone else releasing it later.

"Stuff comes when it's ready and no amount of crying can make it quicker" isn't a bad slogan but I still prefer You'll Get Your Shit Eventually (TM)

Lol I was definitely out by the time the porn bots took over, but I remember the bickering. In the early days people would get flamed really bad for questioning any of LRG's practices. Another thing all of the different communities seem to have in common I suppose.

My memories of that forum are all from pretty early on, maybe the first two or three years or so? In general, Doug was more active there while Josh was more active here, and they shared the same kinds of information in both places. Lots of answering questions about shipping times and delays and...

I can't help myself either, these Live Wire ports have been too good. Just got my shipping notification for Mushi too so that'll be fun.

Espgaluda 2 is sitting there if you're a member of the shmup cult

After about a week with it, I've gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the NGPC CE. It's the only collector's edition I've ever bought from LRG, but the attention to detail is fantastic. The way they recreated the old style game packaging is spot on. They even included a slipcover with the Switch...

It'd be the perfect excuse to finally make a decent Battletoads game!

I hear you. I'd probably be more upset about it if the emulation scene weren't flourishing. As it stands, now is the perfect time to play through the backlog, load up your favorite device with roms, and wait for the bubble to pop. Scalpers will abandon ship real fast if there aren't any buyers.

It's possible for something to be both "a minor inconvenience to the end user" and "a massive dickbag move by the publisher" at the same time. This is one of those things. Not a big problem for most people, but why even go there? Having any online requirement at all, even a little one, is a...

Good question. I'm about 95% sure the SNES and GB versions were confined to Europe (still in English), and Wikipedia seems to agree with me. Not nearly as confident in my Genesis trivia but I'd guess that was only released in Europe too.

Thank you for your service!

As far as SLG is concerned, you paid them in euros and they refunded you in euros. *They* didn't convert anything, *you* did. Or rather, whatever institution you used to pay them converted it for you. That same institution would have also converted your refund back to dollars for you. It's...

I'll go to bat for A Boy and His Blob. It's a neat game built around a neat idea, actually playing it is confounding and frustrating sometimes. In other words, it's perfectly in line with like 90% of experimental NES games. If that's your thing then give it a try. I still don't get repros, but...

They're getting killed with support requests, tiers will be revealed on Monday https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1471949537774342146?t=zMV9DTkrUMm48TMpexm5RQ&s=19

The Deathsmiles JP version is also available at Play-Asia...where it's cheaper, qualifies for their November free shipping deal, and is apparently identical in content (including an English language option): https://www.play-asia.com/deathsmiles-i-ii-english/13/70eexj

If you find any more they absolutely belong here. There just aren't as many because the small boutique companies generally skip out on Xbox releases, reportedly because Microsoft's minimum order quantity is way higher than Nintendo's or Sony's. That's the only reason there's so little Xbox...

It depends on your perspective of "worth it" I guess, but they're both excellent games. The mixed reaction to AV2 probably stems from the fact that it deemphasizes the combat so much, and combat is a huge part of AV1. As long as you're into the exploration side of the genre you'll be fine with...
