Not sure if error but I'm not going to play gatcha games for it.
The platform holders control the manufacfuring of console games. There's no DVD-R equivalent; every publisher of every size has to order directly from Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft, and the minimum orders are in the thousands of copies per game.
Got Thumper CE for PS4. I would have preferred a regular copy of the game but am not gonna complain at this point.
Sorry, need to get this out of my system or else it will fester *ahem* @#$%ng bot detection my %#@. Keeping them unobtainable so they go to your friends, you heard me. You owe me 2 Jak & Daxter Collection things. You, Limited Run @#$%; pay me.
ahhh, I feel much better.

Gotta figure they sell eventually, on the whole most of them are worth at least what the BB is, and I think Shantae was in there...
So my copy of Battle Princess Madelyn arrived recently. But I ordered it from the Kickstarter, which was supposed to ship with an exclusive cover. Yet I have the cover shown from the LRG site sale, and I see different covers on eBay claiming to be the Kickstarter version... Does anybody know what the covers were supposed to look like?
I just checked and I have the Kickstarter cover like you find on ebay.
I got mine via Kickstarter and it matches the one on LRG's site. Strange...
Edit: It seems to be a double-sided cover. Not planning on opening my copy so I'll just take their word for it.
Bought Lumines Remastered, Windjammers, and Giga Wrecker Alt from Best Buy over the weekend because they're all on sale, I still have GCU, and I have some rewards to throw at 'em.
And then I bought River City Girls this morning because I noticed it was down to "Store Pickup Only" and I didn't want to miss out on it.

I have zero intent to open the game. I have 50 other LRG games I'd open and play before I'd even think of pulling this out of my backlog.
If it is a reversible cover it's pretty damned stupid to ship it facing the same way as the regular release. I doubt this game will ever be valuable, but if it was having the Kickstarter version would obviously be worth a bump up in price.
First LRG purchase just arrived with the River City Girls collectors box. Really impressed by it. Didn't expect the holofoil cover on the game box, makes it look amazing especially when still wrapped. Not a massive fan of the design of the menu but it, when combined with the other in-world memorabilia and photo cards is just charming honestly. Student ID's are a neat touch and printed on the card you remember from your own ID's in the past.
Yeh, really happy with the result. Was intending to play it but seeing it all together makes me think I'll just grab the digital version instead 😊

Just wanted to jump in to remind everyone that this week is a break week... no new release from us! See you next week :)
Well I just got a backer update on this. TLDR, we can tell the difference in our exclusive copies by a different serial number. Also apparently LRG apologized because this is a mistake, but they never even replied to the ticket I filed asking WTF was going on...
Edit: There's a fairly simple solution to this. LRG already sells covers for like a buck, and they can issue coupon codes that redeem specific items. So they can toss those of us that complain a free cover, which we can add to a future LRG order (yay, LRG gets retention and future sales).

so basically a lot of people just... didn't open it and got mad?
I'm kinda bewildered. Usually when people back kickstarter games they do so to play the game in some form. I could see if someone was playing it digitally and left the game on their shelf physically, but seriously, open the darn thing. Games are meant to be played for petes sake and even if you're in the camp playing it digitally then it will take no more than two seconds to undo shrink wrap. I get if you order two copies of a game and both of them have the same cover when there's a reverse option, but if it's a kickstarter bonus, then it's really just meant for the sake of people to play the game...
Most of the time these bonuses aren't for collectors who make them collect dust., or if they are then they usually outright state such. The dev's pretty darn right about this all things considered and it's not like they sent a single-sided cover with no exclusive art even if you open this. LRG may have supplied the cover but it seems like it's up to the kickstarter devs and such to decide how to distribute it

I think everyone got digital keys for it, like a year ago. No reason anybody's opening it.
aside from the whole kickstart a game and keep it sealed thing i can understand the outrage at people thinking they haven't got their kickstarter exclusive edition, no offence to LRG but as a company that has published roughly 600 physical games so far, they should've been able to pull this off without a hitch and have the correct sided covers sent to the right people
https://limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/vitamin-connections-two-week-pre-orders-open-on-friday-jan-17 New game from WayForward though short notice if you want the physical stuff this month.
I still wish they would package games better.
Got both my Turok LEs today (noticed that the dual case/cover was not included) and of course they are a bit smashed because they stacked them and added a sheet of paper for protection *sigh*

Alright, I'm ready to stake out the website for muh Wayforward fix. Am I going to be confused for a bot again, John? Can I please get the bloody games that I want please. Thank you!
Kinda want that Vitamin Connection Limited Edition. Wish there was a way to know whether or not it'll be included in the Best Buy lineup.
the collector's edition with all the special items? not likely, however the switch version of the base game might get picked up.
Its a crapshoot though. best shot you have of picking this up is right now.
Yeah yeah, that was the implication. I know Best Buy wouldn't be carrying the CE, but if I knew they were doing just the base game I'd probably forgo the CE and wait it out.
Tempted by the Mighty Switch Force stuff as well, in particular the vinyl records, but that's money I don't need to be spending at the moment.
Got both Collector's Editions of Vitamin Connection and Mighty Switch Force, mostly for the soundtracks with the games. Fingers crossed on VC being good. Was thinking of Mystik Belle but held off for now. I can always get it in the coming weeks if the urge reemerges.
Hmmm, LRG finally got back to me, and they're exchanging the mixed up Kickstarter Battle Princess Madelyn's. I'm sure they won't cover the return shipping though. No way it's worth it with international shipping prices, I'd guess it'd cost me me like $20 to send it back.
How much would return shipping cost me if I drive it down to the USA?

If it's just the game/case, shipping it First Class will cost about 3 or 4 USD.
Streets of Red Standard and Collector's Editions are now live on LRG website for PS4 & Nintendo Switch

honestly you're probably just importing the physical over here, i got the PS4 version for £10 a couple months ago and i think the switch version was £14 last time i saw it
Anyone else in here who bought a physical copy of Transistor? I've yet to receive it, wanted to hear if it is just me or if they haven't dispatched it yet for anyone.
Are you referring to when LRG released it alongside Corpse Killer and the CEs? I got the mega bundle which arrived just around Christmas.
Definitely open a ticket. Transistor should've shipped by now.
