Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
- Thread starter GodzillaDB
- Start date
Yep, keyword being "attempt". A lot of people, myself included at first, took it for a fact. There's still a risk we won't get the final build.
The Messenger pages are now live @ LRG
I didn't even realize there was dlc, so guess I'll be fine either way ha.
Indeed, but they've mentioned that they've passed the title to eastasiasoft as the game failed to meet the deadline and that's one of the titles they're letting eastasiasoft publish.
i think they only go into motion after the LE copies have shipped and there's no need for replacements to be sent out
Anyone know how much they charge for international stuff (specifically to Canada for me, but general info would be useful too).
It won't be from LRG but physical is coming, they are waiting for the DLC
Has there been hints on who it will be? Sounds like it will then be a publisher with an actual retail presense, instead of a limited print company.
That's kinda crazy. Feels like the "whoops I left my prototype iPhone at the bar!" situation. Someone kinda tipsy there, or was it purposely left? (EDIT: Oh he works there)
(All I gotta say is, I'm fine with not owning it...)
I thought it was supposed to be a game no-one cares about?
I would like this, although I seem to remember Bluemaxima saying the Vita version was broken and you can't buy weapons or something, so I wonder if that's why lol.
Neat, I totally bought 2 copies of Super Gunworld 2. But I'm not going to buy ~75 Vita games to get this...
During the fireside chat recently it was confirmed it was more than Breach and Clear which means there are more copies than could theoretically be full sets out there.
They stated the plan is it goes first to full set peeps. Then folks with all but 1, then all but 2, etc etc until they run out.
So if you have a ton of Vita LRG releases, you have a good chance I'd say.
There's also the fact that they have to spare a few copies for replacements.
Those disappear quickly because they send the same game 3 times to the same person.
Good news, you'll be able to buy this release on eBay as well!
I don't think they're going strictly by order history. Details aren't concrete yet though.
you underestimate nintendo collectors, they're crazy AF
even more than Vita collectors
Not for the Wii U. Yeah, Nintendo collectors are crazy but it's about certain systems. For the longest time, Virtual Boy stuff was considered worthless garbage not worth the money for example. The Wii U is sort of in that stage currently. The mindset will probably change in the future, but right now, it's not the most collectible system even for what few exclusives it still has (W101, Splatoon 1, Paper Mario Color Splash).
To make matters worse, it's a region-locked game (so there will very few, if any, purchases from outside NA) that is also available on every other system physically, including the Switch.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but at the moment it looks to me like LRG is gonna keep a lot of those 6000 copies for a good while.
You're gonna be proven wrong. Oh and the region lock will not be noticed by a lot of overseas buyers. lol
6000 copies of the last physical Wii U game ever isn't going to last long
I've seen sooooo many WiiU complete set collectors on retro Youtube channels. THIS will be something they want, otherwise their sets will be totally incomplete. Add to the fact that WiiU was one of the easier full sets to go for, due to not as many games released for it... It's not something I want, but good luck to everyone on here fighting out for it :x
My unopened copy of Wii U Breath of the Wild will have a new friend!
But do you really think there are over a thousand people with a full Wii U set right now looking to add one more game?
If not then, then other people will. I don't doubt that this will sell out incredibly fast.
It might not be the last WiiU game though. In fact, Just Dance 2019 was released for both Wii and WiiU less than six months ago. I suspect 2020 will at least get a WiiU release.
Are we actually going to know what the exclusive Messenger covers look like before the preorders end?

If it hasn't already mentioned in this thread, the developers behind The Messenger and Special Reserve have confirmed their physical release won't come with the "Picnic Panic" DLC set for this summer.
According to a comment from the CEO of Special Reserve, Limited Run's cover variant supposedly won't be revealed until after the pre-order window closes. Doesn't hurt to hold out as long as possible to see if it does happen to be unveiled before April 2nd though.

I mean, this was to be expected since they'd have to delay the games a really long while in order to get it done and I don't think people would want to wait an absurdly long amount of time for the DLC to be put on the disc after they bought the game. That's kinda why I'm hesitant about Celeste's Delay since if the update does launch next month then it would be fine but if it doesn't and then the switch version takes until june to ship then that was just a waste of time when it only takes a few seconds to download from either the internet or another switch. I'm willing to give some leeway on the PS4 one though since those are easier and faster to produce
Sad to hear about the LRG variant though. Seems SRG is kinda screwing over LRG so I may end up going with the former's version of The Messenger when I get paid, since I found it decent enough on Switch and wouldn't mind buying it on PS4.

When it boils down to physical pressings and their respective DLC, I'm willing to wait possibly years in an effort to insure these games are as complete as possible. I take several issues with publishing perspectives where stuff that's being prioritized for physical preservation are titles that still receive technical updates over others that have been finished. There's basically no excuses in regard to Digital Devolver's catalog since Hotline Miami and its sequel, for example, haven't been patched for quite some time yet Messenger has to be punted out right now for whatever reason plus their PS4 release for Enter the Gungeon was already outdated before it landed in our hands. The developers of that game, ironically, announced a string of final updates right around when it went up for sale on Special Reserve's website and the belated and, consequently, 'expanded' Switch release was already being teased by SRG at that point. Everything made all the more frustrating since Reserve has a notably long-winded release schedule that hasn't improved too much over nearly two years compared to other companies. That's made further relevant if you believe the murmurs behind Devolver's partnering with Nighthawk Interactive for a retail treatment for Gungeon on Switch instead of leaning fully on their own publishing branch for it.
If you've been buying for the major niche publishers, like Limited Run and Play Asia, several months or more of waiting in between the initial purchase and delivery are common practice for better or worse. What's holding out for a couple more months going to truly do outside of certain customers being "impatient" when they might receive additional content that's more bang for their buck? In terms of preservation, it's tremendously unfortunate these type of titles suffer from folks unwilling to wait when it's possible this very physical run might be the sole chance of this game ever being conserved in gaming history? If some really detested these delays for the physical game or openly embraced the idea of downloading associated content anyway then they could easily just process the game from their preferred online store to their hard drive as it was originally made available as a digital title. Funnily enough, the exact state of affair that these hard copy businesses were supposed to save us and the work of art from in the first place. I hope developers will opt toward longer physical release plans and offer internal discussions about any future DLC with such publishers in the future so that players and historians will be able to cherish tangible, finalized copies of their beloved video games.
The reality is they already got your money. They face charge backs and complains from people getting impatient waiting, but nothing from people who are getting incomplete game. Remember, many people buying a game like Celeste are first time buyer with limited release games. They don't know waiting is the norm.
