Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media

Using this news, first you kick a man when he's down, then you rub salt in the wound with this opinion. You Vita hating monster! For real though, we all have some opinion about Vita, fans or not.
I totally agree. A physical release should always have the patches and DLC on it, if possible. I do not understand people who buy games from LRG and want the choice to buy the DLC as a download.
I sent back my copy of Fallout 4 GotY Edition because it does not have the patches and DLC on the disc.
Haha. Now I regret ever saying it...
Genuinely, thanks to LRG for all they've done for Vita. I'm so happy to have the collection of games I've gotten and a large part of it is thanks to them.
Now to get the last few orders in that they can. Interestingly there is a final final deadline of February in there - I'm guessing LRG will need to submit what they're proposing to release before then and get the final orders in by Feb. So there is time for stuff like Sharin no Kuni. Hopefully some of the Sekai games too.
Biggest disappointment about all this - I know they were highly unlikely to happen anyway, but the nail is well and truly in the Atelier coffin now. I really wanted to preserve the portable Arland games forever.
^ In a weird way, this deadline could actually be good overall for us Vita holdouts. It's now or never for all the projects that some of those smaller companies have already invested time and money into. If they still want to sell copies, they'll have to focus on those Vita games for a while. And at least the Vita will go out with a bunch or cool indie games instead of a crappy port of some yearly sports game.

Isn't Bloodstained supposed to be out sometime this year? Sounds like it'll make the deadline.
Is there a source on it or just a personal theory? I remember reading in 2017 that the Vita porting process had started so I don't think it's completely unthinkable that it will be released together with the other platforms. If you have seen something else then maybe I should Switch platforms though.
Mercenary Kings has already been signed by Limited Run Games.
Managed to snag a copy. The queue was the longest wait yet so I figured it was too late...whew!
What happened to Special Reserve Games? They got DDoS'd but last night it said their copies were sold out before they took their site offline. Did they already sell all of them or are they waiting until their issues are sorted out?
From a LRG email today:
I think all the SRG variant games only had one batch for all 1000 copies.
But you still have a chance to buy directly from SRG because of the bot attack. They have the better cover art anyways.
Jeezum, really ? :(
Ef' me for not putting a super loud alarm everytime.
Ruiner through LRG was supposed to save me $10 in shipping plus up to $25 in import fees. I got massively burned last time through SRG.
Oh well. I guess I'll have to swallow that pill...
Like you said at least there's a (slightly) better cover.
Yeah I have no reason to assume that the Vita version specifically, isn't being worked on.
There's also a slim chance you'll be able to grab one of the copies they'll randomly put up again after some payments didn't go through. I remember getting one of the Shadow Warrior variants like that, I think around two days after the initial LRG run. They just put them up without sending out an email, so maybe keep checking the website just in case the next few days. And others have often suggested the waiting list, never tried it myself though.
Hope you get one, high import fees are the worst :/
I like to think the reason they were closing pre-orders is so they know numbers to place that final order with Sony ;)
(If not I'm also due a refund of $60)
I've a feeling the guy behind the ports of Xenon Valkyrie & Riddled Corpses is involved in some kind of limited run negotiations (either with LRG or a competitor). He tweeted about bad news for his followers a week or so ago (he has lots of Vita fans) and then this happened. Seems pretty likely.
You've just reminded me that LRG seemed to hint they were getting somewhere with SNK a while ago, and now this. I'll never have the physical copies of Last Blade, Garou, KoF '97 and SamSho that I hoped for :(
You can buy that SNK Switch collection, I'm sure SNK doesn't know what's Playstation anymore.
I mean, they released KoF '97 a couple of months ago so I don't think that's true?
I'd rather have them on Vita. I already do, I'd just rather have the 1GB of memory card space back :P
My copy of the Nurse Love Addiction Medkit Edition just arrived in the mail. Beautiful packaging! Going to boot it up later tonight.
Not exactly: "The message asks that all Vita product code requests be submitted by June 28, 2018".
That's just six more weeks.
So basically, nothing needs to be done before June 28th except that LRG needs to tell Sony which games they intend to release? LRG does not need to submit final code for production until close to March 2019 as long as the games they plan to release had been submitted for a product code request of sorts before June 28th?
Just an FYI (and somewhat off topic) Reverie is available now on PlayAsia. Definitely limited run type game I've been looking forward to.

Why is the standard Cosmic Star Heroine copy an extra 15USD over the digital price instead of 10USD like every other release?
To answer a few questions:
There are regular & collector editions for both PS4 & Vita (so 4 SKUs). The regular editions are $30 and are open pre-order. The collector editions are $65 and have limited quantity.
Kickstarter backers will get an email with info on how they can order the collector editions in advance. If a substantial number of kickstarter backers order the collector editions, we'll up the quantity.
The regular editions are $5 more expensive than standard LRG releases because they include a 60+ full-color manual.

The twitter feed says Kickstarter backers have early access to the CSH CE. This is both cool and worrisome... I really want one.
LRG has a specific quantity that they're planning on for the CE, but if early purchases from KS backers are higher than expected, they'll up the quantity so non-backers still have a chance to get one.
So basically like Summon Night 6, expect well....this physical won't be half off a month after release.
Awesome! It's been nearly 4.5 years since I backed CSH. Can't wait to receive my physical Vita CE.
Do you know if those manuals will come inside the game case?
I've been told they'll be in the game cases. The content of the two manuals is the same, but the regular editions have standard PS4/Vita instruction manuals whereas the manual in the CE is setup more like a Working Designs SCD manual (so larger to fit the SCD case & I believe they're going to do some fancy foil stuff on the cover).
EDIT: From LRG's twitter account: "The manual is formatted to fit the long-box case and will feature high-gloss thick stock for the cover with foil elements. Our printer has been given some Sega CD Working Designs manuals for reference."
