10 at minimum.

It's funny, early on they were so adamant against preorders because they didn't want to be responsible for so much money... now they are sitting on around a million. Times change. This isn't a complaint though, I actually much prefer preorders to fighting it out for a game I want.

Yeah, and I remember one of their reasons why and I can't even imagine what a nightmare these are going to be for them. All of those open pre-orders with such a long lead time and the possibility of delays are probably going to result in a huge number of cancellation requests and/or chargebacks.

 
Is there any reason to save LRG tickets for any sort of "exclusive" items that can only be purchased using them?  I thought someone posted about exclusive items at one point but I haven't heard anything else about it.  I don't think the guys at LRG post anymore either.  It would be nice to use the tickets for a "free" game however i would hate to use them and find out there is an exclusive game i could have got if i had held onto them longer.

Yeah, I'm waiting to, as they had an exclusive item early on, but it got cancelled last minute(I think ESRB had something to do with it). It was a variant cover for Night Trap, that was the 32X version cover if I remember correctly. Since then, many have asked, including myself, with no mention of if more exclusive items will happen or not.

I'm not dying to spend the 40 tickets, as $25 bonus isn't making or breaking me either way. I'm happy to wait for something cool, but if nothings coming, let us know, as some might get some use for their tickets now vs. later. I'm also still waiting on work about the trading card packs, but no news there either.

Yeah that's the one I'd pick from the day but I dunno. We'll see if I can hustle a bit in ebay so I can get it "free" haha. Splasher and Slime-San look fun to watch but aren't something I absolutely need to own.
 
WOW, this is really cool to see, and congrats on all these games, as we wouldn't have most of them without LRG and them making it happen. I wish you guys many more years, and many more games, even if I can't afford them all, I love having the options/choices for physical, where there was none before.

Why didn't they release a switch version of Splasher. It is available on Switch as well.

This doesn't make any sense. Slim Sans is cool but I already own it from a sale and I don't need a physical version.

I will be ready for Super Hydorah.

Many titles where done before they started NS titles, so they probably have a deadline to release the PS4 version. The NS very well could happen, just not now. Many Vita titles have been released after PS4 games as well, but that's normally due to programming issues, due to shrinking games down for cart space. Or some other technical hiccup.

Sure but these games came out almost at the same time about a month apart and I'm pretty sure they knew they were doing switch releases at the end of 2017. I personally think they plan to release the PS4 version first to make sure it sells and then release a switch version after the fact. Smart for them bad for the consumer.

I feel like the sheer number indie games, both new games and ports, being released on the system makes any NS release risky. I don't think anyone was ready for the NS to be the runaway success it was so every publisher is now trying to bank in on the system and indie releases are much easier to get on the system than something like Skyrim or Doom are. It's a saturated market right now so I can understand why they wouldn't want to release a game on both the NS and PS4 at the same time.

 
June 15th is a break week, resuming on June 22nd.

They told me a game I was wanting is coming out something in June....so lets hope for Phantom Breaker on the 22nd.

Yeah, that's a good point. Especially with the PS4 games having limited numbers, and NS titles being open preorders, offering both games at the same time could hurt one or both. Plus these releases have just been beyond busy lately, so spreading out titles is probably in everyone's best interested(if that happens to be the case).

Also I like that and if it's switch exclusive I'll probably buy it lol. I like ridiculous stuff like that.

When "N" had their last Indie direct, this was one of the few games I actually wanted. I would also say it's probably one of LRG top 5 rated games so far(top 10 for sure). Different strokes, for different folks I guess.

Like I've said in the past, Aqua Kitty was another game I loved, and was happy to see get physical. And I could have cared less about those who called it a cheap mobile game.

I get the feeling S&S physical won't see light of day on Vita... feel like I haven't heard anything about it in ages.

More concerned about the Sekai Project Vita games, personally. Rabi Ribi seems to be on their radar, but the rest of them have fallen off the face of the earth.

Sekai Project keeps delaying the release of Rabi Ribi. It was supposed to come January, then March, then April, then May. We'll see if it actually comes out in June. They had since October to submit the Master Build for physical production, but they barely did it in March or something.

LRG said they would give them a deadline but it is highly unlikely they would hold them to it.

Idk why it's taking so long. At this point, it's basically pure profit for them after LRG takes their cut

"Every universe has it's flaws" - Ugh. No proofreader? That somehow bothers me more than typos like "Oreshika: Tanited Bloodlines" and the 3DS Naruto game with "Nartuo" on the spine.

 
Oh wow, June 8th looks fantastic! In for the Vita and PS4 games. All three are strong titles. LRG really bringing it!

 
Well, their E3 video this year is supposed to "blow minds"! So I'm hoping all these long lost Vita titles will make an appearance and have proper release windows at least. There is a strong deadline of cart production stopping, so whatever the hold up is for some of these titles, they better work it out fast and get a move on, as there's no time to waste. LOL

EDIT: Well, speak of the devil............

I'm intrigued.

 
I'm cooling on LRG releases, but I hope there are some nice surprises in the E3 press conference. Right around Ubi's E3 conference...i'm guessing it wont be a super long conference.

Here's last years video which ran close to 6 minutes, but when it was over, they did a Q&A for about an hour at least(or that was what it felt like). LOL

I know West of Loathing's art style is off-putting to some, but give it an honest look. It's not shovelware.

Yeah, I have to second this as well. After watching a few videos (including reviews) it's clear the game actually has a lot of humor to it and is quite lengthy with plenty of reason to replay. It is currently on my radar and likely one I'll actually pick up.

 
I don't know whether or not to jump on Slime-San. I'd much prefer it to for the PS4, but I don't know if it's gonna get a physical release for it.

 
LRG says it "became too much" to talk to this community anymore, I'm sorry but y'all really need to step back and question your continued support, these guys aren't a fledgling indie company that CAG is helping get started anymore, stop giving them free loans
