you can get the artbook at fangamer fyi so it might be available next time you have funds available
Whaaaat?! Damn, I wish I had known that before I placed that order this morning. Ugh...
When will this exactly go online? I'm most interested in Tumbleweed Park!
Check their Twitter. They have been posting up games ever hour or so, with notifications on Twitter right as the games go up. Not sure if they already posted Thimbleweed Park.
I grabbed Munch's Oddysee around noon.
I vaguely recall Mercenary Kings but I could very well be wrong.
Fine by me. Strictly limited stuff was pricey pricey. Hell, I'd be happy if they took the rest of the year off to catch up on orders :)
Was wondering this myself. Only interested in switch stuff from them. I know this might sound selfish but I hope it isn't anything I want this year has killed my wallet enough.
[strike]Do we have a firm date for the Gungeon cover?[/strike]
Nevermind, the Switch cartridge isn't available yet.
It does get passed off at the border to Canada Post. My tracking finally updated and it is now through Canada Customs. Now it just says delay due to the strike.
I think it's pretty sane to not feel obligated to buy games on an incredibly strict schedule and budget. I've been juggling multiple companies producing these things this past summer, and it's dried up free money anywhere I've had it, and I've started working overtime to compensate.
I just received Thumper and some other stuff in the mail, and Limited Run puts out great collector's editions, but there are just way too many to buy consistently, along with the rest of gaming purchases, on top of standard bills. One game a month per platform is asking a lot from customers, 2-3 a month feels abusive.
The problem is that there are just so many games coming out these days that if you don't keep a brisk pace you're gonna fall even further behind.
I learned early on - and got much more strict about recently - that I should really just buy the games I want and skip stuff I'm lukewarm on. Less clutter, more money in my pocket. I don't think these games are going to be the investment some collectors want them to be down the line. Old games and other toy-based valuables are expensive because people viewed them as disaposable 20-30 years ago.
You're totally accurate, toys and cards from 50 plus years ago have high value. Antiques Road Show has certainly taught us that. It's refreshing to hear, in a collector's realm. I spend maybe a third of my income on games a year, and focusing on games I'm a fan of, versus feeling its an essential game, or a purchase in a line of games, is a far healthier mode of thinking. I own thousands of games from several generations I don't actively play, and they sit in boxes. Where's the logic/sanity there.
Yeah, I'm sitting on somewhere in the range of 1200-1500 games myself, a number that exploded about five years back when I started yardsaling for retro stuff. It'd probably be even more if I didn't get rid of junk games and most sports titles.
I now have every game I ever liked as a child and so, so, so much more. Over the last year I've really come around to culling my collection down a bit, but haven't made much progress. I knew it might be time when owning so much started feeling more like a burden than a joy. The easiest thing I can do for now is really think about how I want to spend my money on games.
I still cave when a game I like gets a switch port, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can definitely pass on this. I hope the same stays true for anything else coming that day.
Didn't see it anywhere else in the thread, but last week I got a press release from Degica stating Game Tengoku CruisinMix Special is getting a (western) physical release through Limited Run.
if you somehow missed it when i went up for pre-order, you can get Bastion on PS4 or Vita

So weird reading this thread from two years ago where Josh says Axiom Verge, Mages of Mystralia and Chasm were never getting released by Limited Run Games, but we're now 2/3. I guess that confirms Chasm's inevitable Limited Run Games release as well.
And not to stir the port, but I've finally found the quote that made us think Axiom Verge was never going to happen:
I guess it was a gold platter instead of a silver one.
Edit: by the way, lemme just add it that ^ is a just joke.

Do we know when Game Tengoku CruisinMix will go on sale? I was under the impression that it was November but apparently that was only the digital release. My Hold order turns six months in December so I need to release it soon.
Also, has anything further been said about Battle Garegga, or M2 ShotTriggers in general?

I feel you, I've actually started to cull my own LRG collection after much hesitation. Lone Survivor and the Bunker just left.
My goal is to deflate my 80 games collection to about 40 so that I only own games I'm enjoying or look forward to playing. And also to recoup the costs that really piled up ^^
The other 40 games are probably good games, that's why I bought them in the first place, but I find I don't have the time nor will to play them. I'll go digital if really I change my mind.
But kudos to those who keep on collecting, it's a massive task with this generation ! *_*
I don't think most of us anticipated the volume of releases when we got on board. I haven't started culling yet, but I did cut back on purchases.
Other than the hints, there was a leak shared on the Discord.
have LRG thought about doing cloth posters instead of paper posters? i think you can easily iron out the fold marks on a cloth poster
production update page says only regular edition is shipping out at the miinute

I haven't updated my list in a little while so I'm upwards to about a little over 1,150 physical games I've stockpiled for last 22 years (technically started when I was 4) but I also have a pretty decent DVD/blu ray (about 113 or so TV show volumes/seasons and 40 movies) and CD (188 not counting a few video game OSTs) collection and digital purchases on all current platforms with over 10,000 on Steam alone and I think overall across all digital platforms I'm at about 12,000+ now. I impulse buy a lot if I see a physical game for really cheap I'm sure to jump on it if I like it or just mildly interested (what's $5 or less? Is my thought process) I dont buy anything I am not at least remotely interested in trying out and I have no intention of having complete sets for any console. There are about roughly 15 "retro" games I want to add to my collection and among 3ds,switch,ps4 and XBO about the same amount and I'm still finding myself falling a tad short but I get my Bill's taken care of above all else first.
I feel I need to just cut out impulse buying because it doesn't fit into my original monthly plan and it adds up but sometimes it's so hard for me and more often than not it's not something I have on that "must have" list of games mentioned above but also not knowing limitedrungame's plans kinda throws me off too. I only have or have on order 8 of the 20? Current switch titles none of them were collectors editions either and Cosmic Star Heroine is the last one I can really think of off the top of my head that I've been waiting on and actually was on my most have list but as far as digital switch games go? Hollow Knight will probably see another publisher. Shovel knight is coming in April but if say Freedom Planet or Blossom Tales were to happen! Wink wink!
This post is literally about nothing just figured since some were posting about their habits I would lol I might have some small addiction but I get the bill's paid and at the end of the day who cares what we spend our money on otherwise.

I have yet to receive any shipping notice for both platforms plus Bastion. I hope they didnt forget since they started to focus on shipping titles after these 3
Heck, i got Bon Appetit before this order
Same here. It's too much. I thought they were going to be more reasonable with the pace of Switch releases, saying 1-2 per month was what we should expect, but we're already up to what, 20?
Figures. It would be the one you're looking forward to the most.
Yeah I am considering bailing on physical switch unless it's really something special. I hate swapping the tiny carts.
just the beginning folks
i'm out the game after vita finishes, looking to get iconoclasts and maybe some other surprises then i'm out. i always end up ordering switch games following for the next vita release.
unfollowing LRG on twitter, unsubbing from the newsletter, the temptation is just too much.
at least the endpoint is in sight for me, switch is still gaining traction.

That's my plan. As soon as the last Vita game is released, I'm 100% out of the collecting habit and no more limited releases for me.
