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

- Start date
It wouldn't surprise me, ive bought about 15 Switch games from them so far thanks to the open preorder system, I dont even bother with the PS4 or vita stuff as its a complete hassle to make sure im online at the exact time they go up for sale. Also being based in Japan the time difference means I have to stay up late as well.
I already have finished Celeste, but this one I definitely want in my personal collection ! Great, GREAT game, and I sure hope it bodes well for Towerfall <3
I love the art, but am I the only one to see a crazy witch's face from afar ? I need to watch closely to see Madeline ^^

They've done open pre-orders for a game with both PS4 and Switch versions before.
it feels like the Nisa and Vita situation again where as soon as the switch came out the Playstation platforms got the short end of the stick
Yup. For example, Cosmic Star Heroine. Which reminds me that I need to get rid of my sealed PS4 version...
I'm sure their sales data backs up their decision.
when you're competing with nintendo collectors it's a lost cause but they keep mentioning getting attacked from games that are limited and put pre-orders on games like bastion that probably didn't need it but make stuff like Jak & Daxter or Shantae (PS4) limited
i'm not trying to tell them how to run their business but it's just frustrating these releases are announced at most a couple days or even on friday, minutes before they go up and with the way the business model is, it's either have the money to buy the game that day or sacrifice something else you were planning on buying because it's $25 now or $50+ later on from some ebay flipper whereas with switch you have aleast 2 weeks to make the choice and/or get the money from somewhere too
Not LRG's fault. Apparently they were originally supposed to be open pre-order but Sony's legal department insisted on a limited number since they were worried it wasn't going to sell well.
Also not fair to use either PS4 Shantae as a comparison. Both of those titles came out in the early days of LRG, and preorders weren't really an option from a business perspective. We're talking about a time when a bad run could've sunk them.
they literally just had a pre-order with Doubleswitch, why would Sony force LRG into making it a limited number instead of risking the pre-order to make it a higher number?
Shantaes were the same day as Skullgirls
i guess this is the big thing josh was talking about the other day

Interesting idea, but sadly even the standard version is a game, plus a box and bunch of junk to throw away.
that's how physical PC games came in the 90s which this is probably drawing inspiration from

Probably a good indicator that we will be getting all these too, seeing as we got everything from vol 1.

Looks like Revenant Dogma and Fernz Gate do. Asdivine Hearts II is only on mobile and Steam right now (in NA/EU) and Alvastia Chronicles is just mobile.
LimitedRunGames So...is this a break week? So far we only know of "Windjammers" on Dec 21 and the gorgeous "Celeste" on New Year's. I assume that one will have a nice CE?
Not interested in SIGIL (as much as I love DOOM) but man, props to LimitedRunGames for getting so much shit done in such a short existence. Kind of mindblowing really.
Just give us more Japanese games, please. Please please please.

Double Switch isn't a IP owned by Sony though, comparing their legal departments are probably apples & oranges.
Why they chose the number they did, I can't say. Probably being overly cautious is my guess.
Yeah I get it, same stuff I already threw away.
I just wish there was a collector's edition with the box and all the stuff, then a standard game. I'm sure Doug would make the same argument that the extra stuff is "free" anyways (ie with the previous soundtrack CD debate) but whatever.
I wonder how many of these would get LRG releases on Vita though. Like, they'll have had to have some significant forward planning between the companies to organise that.
I'll admit to being a little disappointed that this is one week fewer to use the Golf Story discount.
The coupon expires on the 14th.
I forgot to plug the code in while slamming Shantae/Headlanders through the cart. Coupon codes + carts that sellout in moments do not equal happy customers
Rain World and Windjammers apparently. No Vita purchases before Christmas for me, which is a nice bit of breathing room!
Right, I get that. What I mean is that the coupon had a pretty short window of use already, and no new titles on the 14th means one week less of new releases to apply it to.
Open preorder means more than 2 copies per customer? Cause I got quite a group order coming up if so.
I had similar questions about this as well. I would assume that the tickets still work, but I guess they're retiring the ticket system. Thankfully I just redeemed my 40 a couple weeks back on Cosmic Star Heroine.
For anyone interested in the math, using the old system, you had to buy 40 games to get a $25 discount (at one point that used to be just a free game, but since they've jumped in price it's $25 off)
Under the new system, not including points you get from accessory activities, you'll have to buy 56.25 games to get the equivalent of a $25 discount. So nearly 50% more.
Still, a discount is a discount. It's not like any other limited run company is doing one.
So do I need to redeem tickets ASAP? I've never done this, could heat my home thru the winter with them at this point.
Except that the new system will give you more points when you buy more expensive games, while the old one gave you one ticket no matter what you bought. And you don't need to pay to send the tickets back to them to redeem the rewards anymore. This is a better system, especially for people outside of the US.
No, they said that tickets will still be valid for the foreseeable future, and that they're looking to introduce another way to use them next year. They just won't included in any upcoming game anymore.
56.25 actually assumes a price point of $40 per game (which is rare). At an average $30, it's more like 75 games for the same discount. At $25, it's 90 games. The only way this system would be better is if you bought nothing but CEs at an average price of $60. That works out to $37.5

Just a heads up: Rain World got a surprise Switch release today, which means the possibility of a Switch release exists.
fml i think i may have had maybe half way there worth of a free game, oh well it'd probably get lost in the post trying to send it from the uk
i think i got some as early as stranger's wrath, i know for certain i got them with raygigant tho
Seems Stranger's Wrath is one of the LRG PS3 releases. Great that the HD version gets perserved in actual HD on the big screen but the announced Switch version makes it feel a bit redundant since I'm guessing that one will also get an LRG release.
