I just want my darn game. I feel like they dropped me to the bottom of the shipping queue in retaliation for "daring" to ask for a status update on my order. My order still shows as "awaiting shipment," whatever that means. They could just not send me the game at this point and I would have no recourse since they charge for the game right away, so they have me in a bind.

Bad take and not a good look. Complain about the product or the company. Sleuthing on the people does not lead to good places.

Does anyone know if the Osman game from strictly limited games is available via play Asia or ININ games in the US? I want the game, but being that I’ve been waiting a year plus on a few orders I really don’t want to order anything from them if i have a choice.

From what they've said in replies to people on Twitter, there will be a Japanese physical version. They claim the way to get an English version is through SLG. I was in the same boat as you. Would rather wait for an ININ release in the US and order it that way in order to cut down on shipping cost and get the game sooner. I went ahead and ordered the game from SLG a few moments ago since I definitely want the game, and am afraid there will not be a physical US release.

Hoping someone here can answer this:
I ordered Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection (PS4) from StrictlyLimitedGames.com ages ago - long before I had a PS5. Of course it still hasn't shipped out, but that's neither here nor there.
A few months later, SLG announced a PS5 version.
Is there any difference between the two? Any reason I shouldn't try to cancel my PS4 order and get the PS5 version instead? (I'm aware the PS4 disc will work with PS5.)
If anyone knows, thanks!
Anyone else notice high shipping to U.S. from SLG for Osman? I was trying to buy a standard ps4 Osman copy & s&h was charging me like I was buying multiple copies, or a heavier game.
I noticed the same thing too for the PS5 version. Put me off from ordering.
It's been a while since I've ordered from SLG, so I was wondering if shipping had really gone up that much. Feels like a mistake though. But who knows...
Really hoping this gets a U.S. retail release.

I was thinking about preordering Osman but I saw $13.27 shipping and skipped it. I preordered Ray’z Arcade Chronology a month ago from them and shipping was only $5.85. I think it's a mistake, Osman says it weighs 2.2lbs. Ray'z says it only weighs 0.7lbs.

I finally got my Turrican order from Strictly Limited Games. It was over 2 years !
That’s pathetic. Im never ordering from them again…. I’ll just wait for a ININ release
or an import from Play Asia.
BEWARE though…. I cancelled some items from them, and yeah they refund you the money, but it’s at the mercy of the exchange rate.
So I lost money by basically giving Strictly Limited Games my money to hold onto for years.
Im done waiting over a year waiting for them to release their games.
I don’t trust them…. I feel they are just a house of cards that’s gonna collapse.

I recently received a pending cancellation notice from a company that produces almost-always-delayed collectibles that referenced an FTC regulation that was the basis for this notification that I have never seen before.
If I don't take action, they are cancelling my order and issuing a full refund. This site did implement a "workaround" where the customer can agree to delays at the time of placing an order to "protect" their order from cancellation.
This got me to thinking about these smaller video game publishers who constantly miss their estimated dates and don't allow refunds (I know who many will think of right away, but the company on my mind is Special Reserve Games and "Broforce"). I'm looking through the Terms and Conditions on these sites and nothing is jumping out at me that would make me believe they have an "out" when it comes to these FTC regulations. Too bad the link to the complaint form is dead.

AoT2 FB sold out in 2-3 mimutes. That was very fast.
They said if it sold fast they’d get more in 6-8 weeks. So there will be another chance. I’m also sure if that one sells out quick, they’ll just keep ordering until the market stabilizes.

I hope they can also reprint AOT2FB for PS4 and Xbox, and Berserk for PS4.
Seems like there's a lot of KT that could use a reprint. Sucks for me, I paid quite a bit for many of those games last year thinking it'll never happen but VGP's been on a reprint run lately... but them's the breaks I guess.
