Stealth delivery today of Astral Ascent Backer Edition (LRG fulfilled). Came in a very nice box with bubble wrap and craft paper. Much better than
LRG normally ships ;)

I find it obnoxious that LRG is now making their books limited to preorders only. Would definitely be interested in Vol. 2 of The NES Era, but I missed out on Vol. 1. Guess I'll just skip the whole series now

What's up with Jeremy Parish books in general? He starts a series, does vol 1 and maybe vol 2 then stops that series without completing it. Then he starts a new series, which also doesn't complete. For example, he has:
  • NES Works 1985 & '86
  • NES Works 1987

  • Game Boy World: 1989
  • Game Boy World: 1990

  • Super NES Works Vol. 1: 1991

Where's NES 1988 or SNES 1992 before we start another series?

When SLG was running some sales last year I placed some preorders mixed in with in stock items. They automatically shipped all the in stock games without me asking.

An industry insider tells me that SLG doesn't have the money to produce their Switch games. They were supposedly on the brink of bankruptcy, but recently got a cash infusion. They prioritized the PS stuff because it's cheaper to produce and the minimum run is smaller. Nintendo requires a minimum order of 3000 carts in Europe. I don't think a lot of their games sold anywhere near that.

Wikipedia shows that Super Rare Games had 6 games with 2000 copies and 1 game with 1000 copies. So that "industry insider" should be wrong?

I was talking about that: "Nintendo requires a minimum order of 3000 carts in Europe". So if Super Rare Games can order only 1000 copies of a game, Strictly Limited Games can also order only 1000 copies.

Which Super Rare Switch game only had 1,000 copies? For a while they were limiting some Switch CEs to 1,000 copies, but they also sold the same game as a standalone standard edition with usually 2,000 copies. I'm not aware of them ever only ordering or selling 1,000 copies of any Switch game.

Yeah, the Wikipedia is wrong. Lil Gator actually had 4,000 copies produced including a CE (1,000 copies) and a steelbook version (1,000 copies). The standard alone was 2,000 copies.

Looks like our LRG copies of this game will be out of date

At this point, I'm glad I didn't buy it. I didn't want to pay the high shipping cost for just one game so I was going to wait till it came to VGP and get some other games to justify the price a bit.
I wonder how many times LRG is going to screw people over with "complete" editions before customers just start turning away.
 
Late night LRG order.. ordered Penny's Big Breakaway because it looks like a cool little 3d adventure.. also Pumpkin Jack & TMNT Shredder's Revenge Ultimate Edition.. all standard copies.
 
After waiting all week for my Alan Wake 2 disc to arrive and receiving no game and no word from LRG I messaged support on the 25th(Friday) asking if my copy had shipped. I quickly received a response along the lines of “only the game is shipping and lots of them shipped lol” to which I fired back “Cool. Has MINE shipped?”

No word all weekend and then today I get an email along the lines of “yeah lol here is the tracking number”. And of course the link leads to tracking that doesn’t exist. Awesome. So I check it several times throughout the day and finally it updates. They literally shipped my game out several hours after giving me the link, almost a full week after they should have sent it in the first place.

Estimated delivery is November 1st. Finally! Classic LRG. Never gonna change.
 
I PO'd the Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered Edition and just noticed... and just noticed this. Anyone know what this is about..? I get the feeling this means they're cutting something out, not to mention the individual amounts do not add up to the original amount (or maybe it's because I used one of those old 5% discount codes).

It means they're splitting out the CE contents into a separate shipment. They did it with Sonic and Alan Wake II too because they were going to miss their original production dates. You'll get your game faster (which is nice), but the CE stuff will probably be in a non-console branded box a few years from now if that's something you care about.

Good Luck with that one. I heard the remaster is not good. I'm not sure if it has been patched and fixed.

I'm also worried about the Shadow of the Damned Remaster. I heard that one also has frame rate issues.

I've heard there is a big update out soon. I've got enough to play right now to be ok with waiting. It keeps the Xbox collection complete though!

Whoa, I've never seen this before either. Maybe this is part of LRG's apparent shift to "We'll make a bunch of junk to accompany your already-existing game."

Though they've always been doing non-console branded boxes. For everything except the Switch, which apparently Nintendo forces them to do. I wonder if this could be a way for skirting that too, since they're not shipping a game now, just a bunch of random crap that a person may or may not put their game inside.

It actually annoys me greatly that they refuse to put the console on their boxes. When it was just PS4 is was okay, but now with PS5 and Xbox also your shelf is just filled with mystery boxes with no way of knowing what system plays the game until you open it. I'm not even sure how retro game stores and resellers of sealed copies do it. There's gotta be a huge rate of accidentally selling the wrong version.

Though personally, I just hate it because it makes my collection look stupid. I would assume they leave off the console logos to make the boxes look more "artsy", but I actually think it looks worse! I like the unified look. Like all my PS4 games sit side-by-side with the same light blue branding across them. It looks very clean and nice, and immediately says "This is the PS4 section". In fact I actually stopped ordered their CEs specifically beceause I got sick of seeing boxes of random colors and random sizes sitting amongst each console's unified section.

Though this also raises the question, what are all the "sealed" collectors going to do if they get a separated shipment like this and the game can't be in the collector's box?
 
I'm gonna be honest, I keep checking this thread solely to see if they are finally gonna give a release date for the physical release of Hi-Fi Rush they swear is still coming which means every day I get to yell something like "Who the hell cares about Snow Bros!?!"

They'll announce it as soon as they run out of ported games from the 90s, 00s, and 10s.

Received Shadows of the Damned PS5 today. Tear in the shrink on the top right corner, loose disc, tiny spine edge crease. It would be a miracle if I receive a game in a bubble mailer that is in perfect condition.
