I like to get the limited games that interest me on the PS4 (SHMUPS, RPG, Beat em Ups), and all the Switch titles. I missed 4 of them (Cosmic Star, Slime-San, Kingdom New Lands, Oxenfree). I also like finding out about other sites that are releasing Switch games like Pankapu, Dungeon Rushers, & Gone Home. Honestly I haven't had this much fun hunting new games in well over 10 years. Some don't like the limited releases, some do. I kinda fall in the middle. I like a limited ordering window. That way we don't get burned by bots.

I like the idea of having a separate Limited Run post, but have a link in it to a post that has all the other sites and games on it. Also on the other site have it link back to the Limited Run post.

I have been convinced by the masses and will pre-order Danmaku today.

Anybody gave a spare mercenary kings switch to sell or trade?

I did, but it went to Quaze

 

That's not much help
And here I was going to offer a Kamikaze squirrel for it too (
 

Well shit son, shoot me a PM. I like Kamikaze Squirrels 
 

Noooooooooo

 

So I got my GALF in the mail today. The ink printing on the box is kinda of cheap, but it is really cool to have a sealed NES game. It appears that the boxes for the green and white versions are identical, so the only way you can tell the color of a sealed copy is from a little white or green circular sticker in the bottom left corner of the wrapping. This sticker can be removed or swapped out, leading to even greater confusion!

I'm still debating if I'm even gonna open mine up. I know it would be worth more sealed, and I'm not really particularly into video game golf games (although I also got Golf Story for Wii and I hear it's a real delight for RPG fans) although I would be curious to see what's inside the box. What's your consensus on long term value of this thing anyway? Some might argue that this game is an addition to a complete NES library, since even though it's an unlicensed game, it was sold through retail order by a legitimate publisher

LRG isnt going to be worth anymore sealed. Everyone and their mom will keep theirs sealed because no one plays games. Open it up. Enjoy it. If its worth more sealed, what 20 bucks down the line? who cares.


oh and to the last point. Not anywhere remotely close to the consoles life, so nope doesnt count for any set besides an aftermarket 25 years later set

It might be a rare case the most immaculate open game would be worth more because you can actually get to it as there's far less open than sealed up games.

Uh? Never heard of such a thing in all my decades of existence. Sealed games and stuff in general is always more valuable unless damaged.

While there is a pretty good argument that Limited Run Games may not be super valuable down the road (for multiple reasons), an open game will still never be worth more than a sealed game.

And NO ONE will argue that Galf is part of the licensed NES set, unless of course they are trolling or something like that.

So LRG is going to be distributing iam8bit's Metal Storm (along with Castlemania). They didn't do that with Holy Diver right? I love seeing another NES game on the big LRG stage. Hopefully it sparks more demand for NES  

So Just got an email saying they will be doing Supet Meat Boy. But it wont be for a few months, and they made a deal to release with Best Buy on Feb. 8th. So you can pre order on Best Buy now or wait until LRG does it in a few months

I for one hope they do more of this. The GCU discount plus not having to pay and wait for shipping is pretty sweet. I’m just waiting for Yooka-Laylee to get a Best Buy price drop...
 

Price drop most likely won’t happen. LRG would have to authorize it and I doubt they will. 
 

They’re sitting on a lot of stock at my local Best Buy. Nobody is touching it at $49.99, but it’ll move at $29.99 or $34.99.
 

Battle Princess Madelyn for the Switch is on Play Asia for $32 right now and its listed on Amazon on the PS4 for $51.

Man I flip flopped a lot over which of the 3 current Switch games to order. On one hand I wanted all three. On the other hand, do I really want DU3 and Iconoclasts more than, say, Ys VIII, which I still don't have?

Ended up just doing Celeste and Danmaku.  Figure I can always trade it away if I have regrets.

I got celeste. Been wanting that game anyway just didnt want digital. Is there a release date yet for it? Never preordered anything on LRG before

Probably like 3-4 months from now

Damn, the game I wanted sold out during my checkout

This is a really useful thread, thanks for the clutter-free and easy to read OP!

you must be referring to Iconoclasts Classic edition? I refreshed until it became available and snagged my 2 quickly. I lazily monitored to see how long sell off ended and I saw it was gone at 8 min after release. But based on your post, likely sooner!

try again tonight, it's probably your final shot getting it from LRG direct I believe.



Edit: atleast I think I read there is both a 10 a.m. release and 6 p.m. release....now I'm not certain so I cannot find that info again.

edit edit: found it, you may be in luck!

I was just trying to get the standard Vita version and it was gone in less than 3 min. I was going through checkout and it dropped from my order due to being no longer available.

Cool that you snagged one of those nybrefreshing, it dosmesnt always work but it's nice when it does.

I'll be trying again at 6 and hoping I can get Iconoclasts and Proteus
