Ordered when I woke up today, I can't wait for the game to arrive!
Decided to pass on Castilla. I already have the PS4 version, and doubt I'd play the Vita version over it.
I preordered as soon as preorders went up, expecting they'd vanish like that, but boy was I mistaken!
How long did the PS4 version take to sell out?
Can't beat that price, though. This is my first EAS release, and considering what you get, I'm really amazed!

Did the PS4 version have a registration period? Could be the reason the Vita is still in stock since it's only open to those who registered.
And yeah. the value for what we're getting is great. Don't mean to slight LRG, but they'd be charging twice this.

I actually sold my PS4 version of Cursed Castilla EX when the Vita version was announced. I would have been very unlikely to ever play it on the PS4 but it feels like a good portable fit plus it's PSTV compatible anyway. I even made a few bucks from the 'trade' from PS4 to Vita.
Probably already known and not surprising but LocoRoco 2 is getting a english release in Asia: https://www.play-asia.com/locoroco-2-remastered-english-chinese-subs/13/70bogv
Me too. Set lots of alarms to make sure I didn't miss out, ordered at 4AM then went back to sleep.
Not quite sure if this is the right thread for this, but it looks like Lost Sphear will be getting a normal retail release in Europe. It was announced as a Square Enix store exclusive IIRC
PS4 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0778X6RY4/?tag=e10004583-21
Switch https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0778QFX4T/?tag=e10004583-21
PS4 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0778X6RY4/?tag=e10004583-21
Switch https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0778QFX4T/?tag=e10004583-21
I assume that they might have backtracked on the exclusivity to help sales. Don't know why they would do it but it seems to be true.
for people in the uk or those that want a uk copy it also popped up on Shopto but i'm pretty sure that was only PS4 and xbone

Wouldn't be the first time that happened. Drakengard 3 was supposed to be a Square Enix store exclusive that ended up getting a wide release instead.
i found the tweet and clicked the link and it leads to a switch copy but the tweet says xbox so i guess it's a screwup on their end
It appeared on Xtralife, a Spanish retailer, too. And I expect other Spanish retailers to start accepting pre-orders soon.
So Tokyo Xanadu ex+ is actually supposed to get a EU retail release on 8th December
I don't know if it'll be with the help of RSG or the standard "ship it to three random tiny UK stores no one has ever heard of" Aksys release, so if anyone spots a pre-order please let me know

if it's RSG still it'll probably be available at shopto and base but honestly this is the first time we've actually got release dates out of Aksys for EU stuff so i'm hopeful in thinking it will be RSG and not just themself publishing it and sending it to bazaarbazarar and hoping someone will find out that it's listed

It's almost purely a popularity thing. If SLG takes off, some will regret not having cared about that first release.
Also there may be an uncertainty factor : we don't know the quality of the product itself yet.
And finally the price is a little higher and is in Euro so US citizens have to convert their money somehow (and the rate is not favorable right now). It is however counterbalanced by the fact the shipping is cheaper.
The game is graphically gorgeous. It has a few small problems related to isometric 3D (distances and angles can be hard to evaluate) but the core gameplay seems super fun.
Limited Run Games has sold games that were (and prooved) way less promising.

if you don't mind a EU copy it pops up on ebay every now and then for £30-40 with just the game and not the CE
Oh damn, I almost bought that game too. Didn't know it had ballooned.
Thanks for the clarification ! I'd totally missed it. Reviews seem good, but the game appears to be super rare in PAL too :/
I'll try the digital version before hunting it.

Window for priority pre-orders for Cursed Castilla Ex has been extended to the 16th.

It looks like various UIG games have started popping up on Ebay with ESRB ratings and worldwide region coding per the back cover art. So far I have seen copies of Forestry 2017, Pineview Ridge and Firefighters Airport Fire Department. Has anyone seen these games at any actual retailers or even Internet based sellers outside of Ebay yet? I know Walmart used to carry their games as timed exclusives, but no luck yet with the local store.

UIG is a shovelware publisher, at least in Europe their games are regularly available (not limited). It's nothing you'd want to get excited about.

The Xbox physical version of Outcast: Second Contact has been removed by all major retailers in North America so it's likely to have been cancelled. Still available in PAL Territories for those interested in importing.
I'm glad they exist, as its meant I've gotten physicals of trash horror games like Pineview Drive and Joe's Diner.
At least on US Amazon, they only have four titles listed and none are in stock. I'm wondering how Forestry 2017 and Pineview Drive have snuck out without any retailer actually carrying them as far as I can tell in the US.
The same thing happened with Industry Giant II on PS4, another UIE release. I found a copy through GameStop but could literally find no reference to a US version anywhere else but now it's showing up on Amazon and other places. I think UIE just has bad distribution in North America and those games will work their way into stores eventually.

Oh snap! I would Love a physical copy of Secret of Mana. I thought Playasia just made another ghost listing when they put it up on their site, but with this, dare I get my hopes up?
