Yeah the Pound cable is pretty poor. When even Metal Jesus Rocks posts a video clearly showing the poor colour reproduction then you know it's a waste of time.

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

Honestly the only cable like this I'd want to have is an N64 one since the damn thing doesn't work on an Elgato due to the resolution being too low unless it's one of those odd crappy games like Star Wars racing. Anything to make the signal not black out whenever it changes in 99% of the games of the library, so I could actually stream them would be good enough for me.
This! Same problem for me. I avoided using FanGamer directly because of customs charges. Sucks because I remembered at 10:03 then got distracted. My fault on that ha. Shiny...
I won't entirely rule it out, since they've made inroads with Naughty Dog by way of Jak and Daxter, but I think an old Japanese company like Square Enix is going to still be a harder get atm. I remember Douglas or Josh saying that business culture over in Japan are very traditional. They still prefer to send contracts by paper instead of email. If your not well known, as in good reputation and good connections, most big names aren't going to want to deal with you. Limited Run Games has come a long way since its started, but I'm not quite sure they're at the level where Square wants anything to do with them. I forget what big name they reached out to, but they didn't even get a response. That might have been a couple years ago now though. Doesn't hurt to try and see I guess.
The best output a non-modified N64 can do is s-video so you should look into either RGB modding it if you already have something like the OSSC to upscale it or get an UltraHDMI installed in the N64 and make it even simpler.
Just wanted to say I've been critical of your guys over a few things in the past but to the inverse of that I have to give you props for the way you're handling this ticket to point switch over. It sounds like a giant headache and you're obviously trying to do right by people. Good on you, guys.
Nope, IO Interactive is now independent. Hitman 2 was published by WB
i thought it was self owned now when interactive IO split off
Ah I see, then maybe this Hitman HD collection has a better chance of being signed than I previously thought.
Picked up Sundered, Windjammers and Celeste. Really started to move the collection towards Switch stuff.
Alright cool. Well I hope it makes it makes the jump.

Looks like the whole pound cable thing blew up on Twitter, but I think it's important LRG sell these cables for what they are: a budget solution with significant compromises. It's unfair to compare it to a framemeister using a composite cable; compare it to one using scart or component and see what paying top dollar for the best quality gets you.
Thing is, why would LRG sell the cable? Are they going to become a retailer that sells everything? When they just mentioned changes to the hold orders because they can't ship everything in an orderly and timely manner? I just feel like some of these don't make a lot of sense.
The easy answer is probably because pound gave them a significant margin to sell them, because they wouldn't get near the same exposure otherwise. I wouldn't want to speak for their intentions, though.
Josh has mentioned that they'd love to team up with companies that make higher quality products like HDRetro and Eon. I think this is fine, good even, but they need to make sure their messaging is right.
The flip grip looks neat. Too bad I wasn't aware at all it was being sold :x
EDIT : it's apparently available again ? I won't pass a new order just for this but it's good news for those who missed it.
The new point system seemingly works fine for me ! It doesn't count everytime I connect, but it got my two recent orders right. And the rewards are on par with the old system (a game for $1000 although now you can't choose which one).
Great, thanks !
That must be why I haven't plugged my old SNES on the HD TV : I didn't understand anything you wrote Mattysaurus ^^

Oh man, I don't think anyone has ever called me by my handle before. That was weird.
If you're ever interested in the subject, I highly suggest you check out my life in gaming on YouTube. They do a really great job of explaining how to get the best quality image out of old game consoles.
Haha thanks, if they make it palatable for a newb like me in retrogaming, then I'll definitely check this channel :)
I've just received an LRG package and guess what ? I'm at exactly 39 tickets x)
I don't think I need to worry yet though, since I have an older order containing Pixeljunk Monsters 2 that's being stuck and that should bring me the missing tickets.
By the way : won't LRG ever communicate again about the size of preorder's print run ?
I tend a list tracking the quantities of each game, and it's missing an increasing number of ... numbers.

i guess this is both an on-topic and off-topic question but has anyone internationally gotten any of the delivery tracking android apps to work with the tracking codes that LRG give out? i've checked the ascendia website listed in the email and i get atleast some tracking info but any of the apps i've tried using have no updates like it's a dead tracking number
Check out MLiG's playlists first. Don't worry if you don't understand everything right away, you will eventually.
RGB Master Class 100 Level - Basics of RGB
RGB Master Class 200 Level - The Consoles
RGB Master Class 300 Level - Beyond RGB
The tracking numbers don't always update right away since they're just generated but eventually they'll work as long as you don't click through the LRG link, you have to go to https://www.asendiausa.com/tracking/ and put the tracking number in yourself. Asendia in the UK deliver with MyHermes so eventually when it gets to this side the Asendia website usually puts another tracking number on there which you can also go to the Hermes website to track.
Just a minor shout: if anyone accidentally ordered more than one copy of Cosmic Star Heroine for switch, my brother would be interested in it (only at cost, he's not into paying more). He thought the preorder was for a full month and missed out :/
I just got Iconoclasts in the recent steam sale, and now I see that Limited Run is doing it! Arrghh! Not sure if I'll get it on Switch or Vita, is there a big diff between the two versions?
There's 40 copies left and it's Monday afternoon. I think 300 is a bit keen :P
The 18th is gonna be an expensive day for me. Danmaku, Celeste, Tacoma, and Iconoclasts. Proteus looks cute but no desire to own.
It had that much available at Saturday night. I mean, it could have a thousand more copies and it'd sell out eventually, the point here is that whoever really wanted it, ordered on the sale day, and whatever copies were left the next day could've been better allocated to another title.
And if we're down to only having few thousands of Vita carts left, Proteus is a game that I (and I guess a lot of people) absolutely didn't need. Give me higher profile titles with more copies available like Iconoclasts than more smaller, niche and not so interesting titles with less copies available.
But... you posted this at 11.54 today? :P
I don't think the bolded is true either. I'm sure people are enjoying not to have to scramble for the last few titles. Not being a diehard collector doesn't mean you don't still want a physical copy of the game.
Can't disagree with Proteus too much though. Don't want to badmouth it too much because I'm sure there are people out there who like it. It is a very charming, cute game but just not the kind of thing I want on physical media.
Had it sold out on Saturday, at least there'd be that merit.
Honestly, shave off 100-400 copies of every single upcoming game and you can publish another two to three titles, maybe even more. At the same time, if those two to three titles are games like Proteus... Keep those 100-400 copies allocated as planned.
They try their best at spinning it, but in the end, no one would be saddened if this game wasn't preserved
it's all a matter of personal opinion, i personally don't care about the game or probably 60% of anything LRG has published but others somehow do
i guess i could say the same about Senran Kagura Bon Appetit, i see a lot of people calling it trash because they think it's just a titty game but i was glad to be able to get it physically
Its a decent rhythm game, just sucks they had to edit the cover art
Stromgly on the fence about "Proteus". I do like it but with my limited gaming budget I wouldn't want to buy it and have to miss out on some as of yet unannounced game this month because of it.
LimitedRunGames I would be so cool to get a full January schedule....at least a tentative one (of course something can always get delayed...that's way better than a short term accouncement ^^ )
I take it that this Friday is a break?

Not another Race the Sun, Another World, Siralim situation. If they're releasing subpar Vita releases, at least now they've paired it with another Vita title.
Still waiting for an answer for my support ticket from 9 days ago about what I can do being 3 short of a free game on the support tickets system. I hope
Still stands :(
Isn't Proteus in the same vein as LSD Dream Emulator? Haven't played it, but it sounds and looks pretty neat.
Is this game particularly unliked, or do y'all just not want walking sim type games?
