► Episode Chapters
00:00 - Intro
The main problem with the company is that it promotes scalping or fever collecting. I feel more stock should be reprinted based on demand, that it SHOULDN'T be limited.
Even the open pre-orders, you either order it that month, or you'll probably never get it for a descent price. And it sucks learning about a game months or years after it's already had its limited open pre-order: ruclips.net/video/lS3ja5JnkAQ/видео.html
@@polygon.fiction6514 LRG would benefit from two ways to improve: 1) Have reprinted stock on their stuff and 2) Stop ignoring PC releases.
This is their tactic, to make people feel the fear of missing out
@@Blueflag04 Yep! The irony is if they didn't promote stuff being limited they'd still make money from pre-orders while not helping scalpers.
@@pferreira1983 The founder literally said in the video, that if a game hasn't sold out within a week, people cancel the pre order. It sucks, but the the only reason you care about most of these games is the scarcity.
I love how they interviewed gaming historian at 1:23
If you watched this video previously, and were curious of the things we changed/fixed:
1. Fat Chicken was not Mighty Rabbit's first game.
2. Made it clearer that Brian Provinciano self published Retro City Rampage DX. As a result, Coury had to reshoot all of his on camera bits.
3. Made it clearer that Douglas was with the company before Saturday Morning RPG
4. Fixed release date on Oddworld.
5. Added soundbites from Douglas about why they haven't done any releases from Microsoft or Nintendo.
Thank you! Please continue making the great content that you guys do !
Whit spanish subs, please
Due the high quality of your videos, I can't understand why you guys have just 36k followers...
Thank you for one more excellent content!
retro gaming is niche, and playing retro games on original hardware is even more niche because they don't sell this stuff in retails shops anymore.
dude, not anymore...
ZOBOLINOS agreed!
Please edit again... 36k, pushed "like" at 63k :) :)
Agora dobrou, Trakinão uhea
This video needs a remake and a whole new title: UN-limited run.
I dong really follow what LRG is doing. Have they changed their market? Are they producing games in mass?
Yep: ruclips.net/video/lS3ja5JnkAQ/видео.html
People trying to cancel orders because it looks like a game might sell out really pisses me off. I wonder how many of these limited run games get in the hands of collectors and how many end up in some stinky re sellers mitts.
Maybe an answer to the problem would be to take pre orders on past games but don't print them unless the minimum order amount is reached then you can print them and ship them out with the stock already paid for. That would keep highly wanted games in the hands of gamers and you wouldn't loose money on having games lying around not selling.
There are a couple games that i want but will never own because i have a strict policy of not buying a game over it's retail price on games released within the last 10 years or so.
Yes, something has to be done because scalpers are just making a business out of this.
Every once in a while the company does blow out sales for there games. Because they have some left in stock not preordered so they can replace a damaged orders. The just did one but the will be another one. I dont know when though.
Resellers are a non-issue for Limited Run games. There's no cap on how many games they produced. So If resellers order 5000 games to resell, Limited Run orders 5000 more games...
@@MatthewSmith-si8ks that's not true at all. They do cap runs off their limited series. And they have a strict no reprint policy, hence the limited run name. Once the pre-order sells it on those games there are no more to buy. You can't hope you get a chance at one of the contingency copies because those sell it in minutes also.
@@jeremyfortunethe1st that comment is over a year old there, ace.
I can appreciate what they are doing but it kinda sucks it has to work this way. We live in a re-sellers paradise and the only way for people to care about most indie games is to make them "rare". I personally hope all of these games get re-releases in the future so more people can play them and stick it to the people who are buying them as some sort of investment. Glad Soldner and Retro City Rampage are doing just that :)
Only the early ones are you can't scalp them anymore as there not worth as much as the early ones due to higher print runs. Trying to scalp their latest releases now only results in £8-$12 profit once ebay has took their fees so pointless for re-sellers now.
i did notice though if you combine them into a collection lot to sell they go for a lot higher.
Amazons is selling exclusive copies of Soldner X2, so there is one.
+wizzgamer The Shantae games are still scalped.
Try to search Oddworlds nowdays, are overpriced, thanks Limited Run to feed the scalpers wallet.
Wish these weren't scalper fodder, or else I'd buy a lot of these older ones.
Only the early ones are you can't scalp them anymore as there not worth as much as the early ones due to higher print runs. Trying to scalp their latest releases now only results in £8-$12 profit once ebay has took their fees so pointless for re-sellers now.
wizzgamer You'd be right if time and space didn't exist. You do realize that as time passes, and all the games limited run have made make their way into the hands of collectors and not resellers the prices will skyrocket. I doubt you collect if you don't know that.
C Ziggy True but I think only the good games will rise in value mediocre games like lost sea won't make much of a wave so won't rise much.
Have to also factor in the number of people buying that are speculators. As long as you pay attention anyone could buy one of these limited run games as even if they sell out in 12 hours thats a significant enough window.
Personally i had two games i was interested in getting a physical copy off and had no idea about this limited run thing until it was too late so now i have to pay a kidney worth of price to get them.
Scalpers are harsh.
While I appreciate what LRG is trying to do, I've never had a great experience with them and neither have my friends.
You'll probably appreciate this then: ruclips.net/video/lS3ja5JnkAQ/видео.html
I've been going through all your videos recently. They really are the best thing on RUclips. Thanks Guys!
"Limted Run is doing what they can so costumers can buy the product". Because in Europe being up to 4 am in the morning is just normal and people don't work at all 12 pm. This "documentary". This "documentary" focus to little on the negative sides and let the company brush it off. The company started with a noble way to earn some money without knowing if it would sell. To know being made in so few runs the plan is to be sold out within 24 hours. Limted Run could I would assume pretty easily make preorders within a week or two.and make copies based on those rather than so limited quantities so very few people will get the hands on them. The business model more seems like to let people order the games fast without letting people think about whatever they want or need the game rather than it is to make the copy available in physical form. Saying developers can easily make a deal with somebody else contradicts the point of wanting to make games available in physical form. If the point is to make the games available in physical form then why should another company do this? Shouldn't Limited Run trying to make as many people get the product. The problem in the first place is it hasn't been released physical so the changes for the game to be released in physical form by another publisher is very unlikely. Limited Run wants to make their games an exclusivity not something available for the public interested in the games. In the process being able to charge a higer price. If the games was released with 5.000-10.000 WW copies it would still be a limited run compared to games released in stores and other online stores.
Now... I hope they can somehow get the rights to re-release Scott Pilgrim on Xbox One, PS4, and maybe even PS Vita! I'd play it SO much! I loved the demo, but waited too long to buy it, and since it's gone now, having a physical copy can really help that game, since ANYONE can play it.
There's a perfect example to why I'm so against digital distribution. Oh, you paid for a digital game? And you have a new hard drive? And it's no longer available? (insert pic of South Park Comcast guy rubbing his nipples)
@@robertbarker5802 there's a lot of problems with physical AND digital though cause physical media can corrode, get scratched, stop working from age, can be very hard to track down as most games of a certain age are no longer sold and sometimes the only way to get them is scam artist on ebay inflating prices yes a dev can stop selling a digital game but most likely someone has it downloaded somewhere like i still have scott pilgrim on my ps3 and even if i didn't i could emulate it you could even make your own physical copies of digital games like the modded version of mother 3 that translates it to english is pretty widely made in physical versions second hand the problem isn't really physical or digital games it's developers and publishers that are the problem and in general copyright law that makes it impossible for other people to distribute something when the dev either can't or won't
during one livestream I actually asked him a question about Scott Pilgrim unfortunately they mention that the source code for that game is lost. and don't bother with Xbox games Microsoft is pretty damn stingy about thier property LRG tried to negotiate with them and heard nothing.
Hey buddy, it happening :)
The game is coming back to digital for PS4, Xbox one, and switch. Physical is getting a physical release by limited run! Pre order are open in January 15th (day after digital re released) and will be available for 6 weeks. Shipping after 4-5 months after pre order close
@@ladynikkie
That comments aged well.
0:36 Her cosplay's makeup was so good my first thought was concern.
Recently got Toejam & Earl through Limited Run Games, and I was definitely pleased with the purchase. It even came with a manual! (remember those?)
That's one of the reasons I like limited run games even the simplest of items like a paper manual makes a game feel complete.
I love the idea of having these games physically but lets not act like this is the mission of the company. They could easily make more of these games and more gamers would be able to play them and truly own it. They are sold out immediately, only to show up at retro stores that order ahead or on ebay for disgusting profits. Its not about preserving games, its about making and cornering a market.
1:25 My Main Man Daniel AKA The Gaming Historian!
A Fantastic documentary. Really well done. I can't imagine any developer not wanting a limited run of their digital published games
"When you have a working PS4 in 20 years"
Uh oh.. who's gonna tell him
When I see people like limited run I instantly realize that magic of gaming still remains. I'm almost crying after this video. I found it in youtube cause yesterday I realized that game I thought is digital only is actually not. This game is firewatch. I haven't got it yet only cause it was digital. But I accidentally found it on ebay yesterday while being at work. I instantly felt I was a kid again, this is how happy I was yesterday. Thank you. This means a lot.
ESRB's policy recently changed and now EVERY physical game needs one on the box. LRG's two most recent releases began to include them.
It's amazing that ESRB get away with the demands they make, considering they are just a private company with no actual legal force behind their ratings whatsoever. If console manufacturers allowed games to be released without an ESRB rating, and stores would stop refusing to stock games without an ESRB rating, then ESRB wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
@@AnthonyFlack it’s to avoid legal ramifications. and who cares it’s just a logo anyways (at least the esrb logos look cool compared to pegi or the other european ones)
@@davidv2002 - it's not just a logo, game developers have to pay the ESRB.
@@AnthonyFlack so?, every game on the eshop has to go to through the ESRB (not sure about playstation)
@@davidv2002 - that's exactly my point. It's the sort of thing that should be handled by a regulated governement department and instead it's just been handed over to a private company with no oversight, and developers have no choice but to pay them.
I am just starting in collecting for the Vita. Got 23 games as of now and are waiting for my first Limited Run game to arrive. I've missed lots and they are so expensive now, but i'll try collect as many as I can. Great job guys and i'll be buying games from you for a long long time :)
I hope physical games will never leave us!!
I love these documentary-style pieces. Keep it up!
i dont understand why they cant do 5,000 perhaps 10,000 soon enough.
It may not sell out within 24hours but give people a damn chance, i only recently found out how to obtain limited run games and shit and didnt really think much of it while they were releasing, and now i want to scoop up what i can when they do. But you CANT because it sells out so quickly with so few copies.
2-3,000? are you kidding me? the demand is there, i gurantee if they start selling on amazon or wherever it will be in much larger quantities. If they need to slap ESRB on it, go ahead and look into that, but becoming an amazon or ebay seller will gurantee more sold too. Id feel more comfortable buying there too but ill go to the site if i must.
And also where is the advertising? only collectors know because theyre hardcore gamers, absolutely noone else does. Thats just stupid, they need to advertise wayyy more. Up the stock available and grow as a company.
If they must, then why not get pre-orders down, even with money down to secure copies and know exactly how many are needed. If need be LOCK people down to their pre-order, whether or not they pay in full. As long as there is a date of release and it IS coming out then there is no issue, if it is not, THEN refund everyone.
DjStiv3 They can do that many copies. They specifically said it up to the game creator after the Limited Run launch but can be dependent on how much it sold digital already.
Soldner X2 is now also being reprinted and sold through Play-Asia right now! www.play-asia.com/sldner-x-2-final-prototype-play-asiacom-exclusive-multi-langua/13/70am7p?ref=froogle_us&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh_bLBRDeARIsAH4ZYEOZOARnnrQ7VuwOTqsOOB_tKGb2cEcGM3iHTjC1yJGgKpBQ3vOSK3oaAqM2EALw_wcB
It's all a balancing act. If a game would have already sold 10k-50k because of popularity digital it would have probably picked up by a publisher before talking to Limited Run.
Another point is Mighty Rabbit/ Limited Run can't make 3k-5k more than expected selling and go bankrupt themselves.
Also not everyone needs every single Limited Run game. Just buy what games you want to play or love digital and want that sealed copy. I personally have only bought 5 games so far from them.
Everyone has their different opinions, but what it really comes down to is what Billy said near the beginning.
No kidding man look at Scott Pilgrim the source code ended up lost and now they just removed ducktales remastered because the publishing rights had expired the physical copy is spiking up in price on eBay.
Thanks for the reupload. The added details really do a better job at clarifying things.
The production value of your videos is outstanding. I hope that, between Patreon and possible ad revenue, you're at least making ends meet and are able to keep doing what you're doing.
Just found out about this now, amazing little doc. Fantastic to see how these boys started up, they seem to be doing very well now and I only wish them even more success. Got a few amazing titles from them so far, they are doing great work. Cheers!
I love this story, I love what they are doing. I'm also one who grabs the "free" games each month, most of them I don't really play, although there are some that I have played to death (and also picked up a physical copy of the game). Digital games will have their place but, NOTHING will replace a Physical game...Nothing.
What these guys are doing is incredible. Long live physical games. Only wish there were more copies.
I loved this so much keep this up me being a gamer and an aspiring journalist it's good work man 👍🏻
A message to Sony, the moment you go all digital is the moment I move over to Steam. You're digging your own grave here.
Just like Microsoft tried, they will never go full physical. They black list a lot of games and too many people like getting deals on used games and people like to have something to show for their $63.50 (tax) game...
Awesome DOC!
Hi Coury and Try, I'm sorry to say I haven't watched your videos much until the stay home order here in NC but I really appreciate what you guys do and thanks for all the great content.
I thought this would be a good place to introduce myself, since I start Mighty Rabbit with Josh back in 2010. I'm really proud of what those guys have accomplished since I left, and it's really cool to see your video (and me in my basement with the rest of the crew in it @ ~3:55). I'm only sorry I didn't know about it sooner.
I hope to catch more live streams in the future, makes for a good night while working on my personal game projects!
[Try4ce] That's awesome! It's crazy to think that we shot this in the early days of Limited Run, and they've moved offices twice since then! At the time, they had published so few games, but we were already so excited by what they were doing. The sheer quantity of games they release these days far exceeds what I ever would've imagined at that time.
For me it makes logical sense to buy physical. Why pay the same price for a licensed game when you can own the physical. It never goes away, you own the game, and it saves you memory on your system. The only reason to go digital would be to save physical space, but do games really take up that much room? Not really.
This was awesome. Great job!
Great documentary guys. I love the ps vita and it's so good that these guys are helping keep the ps vita alive since Sony won't.
I am a huge fan of your company. i have every single game that you've made. except Shantae... both of them... any chance to buy those two games without spending 300 dollars? Very frustrating... in one side you have real collectors who care of the product and on the other side you have re-sellers that are just here to make money...Every time I walk pass in front of my collection, I am always proud and excited to see all my stunning game. Yours has a special treat. they have the best spot on my saloon and cannot wait to expand it. thank you guys for the job you are doing every single day.
[Try4ce] Thanks for watching! We are not Limited Run, we just did this video on them because we're fans of their work too!
well, you did an outstanding job guys. you can be proud of your video that is so professional. keep doing some great job like this.
Limited run games changed things since the release of YS origins! Limited run now has the option to preorder the games which will have high demand, it lasts for 24 hours! I got my first limited run game( YS origins) salt and sanctuary will have a release, which will be a high demand game and we will be able to pre-order! So happy about this!
Who else noticed Nissan GT-R
Good news, guys!
Today (October 25, 2017), Limited Run announced that they're going to start publishing on Switch. Their first release is next year, and who knows what the first release will be (there's plenty of excellent digital games on the eShop that deserve some physical love). Personally, I want them to re-release some of their previous Limited Runs on Switch. I'd love to play Breach and Clear on the Switch, as well as other games.
But anyway, I thought people should know about that, and it certainly is exciting.
....to be sure.... and very, VERy indEedly..... truly fantastic work ! thaNk you.
I would love to see an updated mini doc on this.
I just bought my first Limited Run game, Runner2 for vita. Still waiting for it to come in the mail. I hope it works well and is packaged nicely like games used to. Wish I would have followed their web site sooner. Im an oddworld fan. I'm kinda sad I missed Stranger's Wrath and New N Tasty.
Phillip Arpin all the Limited Run games I've gotten were exactly like I'd buy from Amazon but the package quality is better/never been or smashed/ comes with stickers/trading cards!
This is a brilliant video. Would love more mini documentaries about games. Is it possible to get a download of a 1080p copy of this video somewhere? I'd love to have it on my media server. Would happily pay for a high quality download.
+Aleksander Helgaker [Try4ce] This is included in 1080p24 in our Night Trap Blu-ray, which also includes our other documentary-type stuff. www.mylifeingaming.com/product-page/night-trap-25-years-later-documentary-blu-ray Also keep an eye out for an episode next week that has some documentary elements!
Oh, that's awesome :). Thanks for the link.
The Chad Physical copy >>>> The Simp digital download
16:52 - crazy to think that this was already the case 6 years ago. Wow.
Great video, guys. Was great to find out more about the birth of Limited Run.
Excellent as always. Best gaming channel.
So excited to watch this, you guys are incredible
these guys actually sell stuff every year at animazement's dealers room.... their area always has the best games for the best prices as well
I was wondering if this was going to be a puff piece on Limited Run and it absolutely avoided the shady stuff to make money such as scalping extra stock of there own games on ebay for 1 example.
Wow, Didn't expect them to be located in North Carolina, and 15 min away from me, Also Epic Games is 20 min away from my house as well and once came to my middle school a few years ago
I tried to buy Wonder Boy for the PS4 recently and it sold out in a minute at 10am. There was no notification that it would be available at 6pm (like I have seen before) so I took it for granted that that was it. Anyway, it would be nice if they would gauge the sell-out process and consider a re-release at a near-future date. But that's not their mantra, it just sucks for those of us that tried to buy one and only got an out-of-stock within a minute.
Oh, I forgot to mention... I would love a Limited Run of PSO2 as well, I purchased Phantasy Star Nova for the Vita but the language barrier is too much and has halted my progression in the game... Best of luck with PSO2 and I have my fingers and toes crossed for this one!
Great video! I actually ordered The Silver Case from LRG, I'm a big fan of Suda51 so I felt compelled to support him
A lot of motivation for people buying limited run stuff is FOMO and hoping to get the next Stadium Events
love the organ work on the intro. very sublime. adds a mythical quality to this video. To Matt whom ever wrote the original music, well done. Loving it. Maybe upload a full organ version on soundcloud?
I will always prefer physical to digital nothing like being able to hold something
I wonder what would happen if Limited Run Games would tackle Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Eyes of Heaven, or an Initial D game?
Sorry to these guys, but I know what they're trying to do, but...
Screw them, why limit these physical copies of games into mere couple thousands, why not do some sort of system where they do it by a Order-By-Demand thing (please anyone fix that if I messed up), I would do it like this:
Step 1) Do a First Print Special Edition first, then use a quarter of the profits of that to make the later prints.
Step 2) Do a Standard Physical Version afterwards.
Step 3) You're a bigger success!
Even though it would defeat their purpose of the company's name "Limited Run Games", they could do a separate group that does this, split the profits into half of both subsidiaries so that everyone's happy, don't give me that excuse, because this might be the perfect solution to fix the indie game physical copy problem, not limiting them, keep making prints until the recent one didn't reach the demand goal.
The sales number would probably at the moment never be much higher than 10.000-50.000 WW. This is still a limited game compared to most games released. Limited run sells an exclusivity they don't preserve games for gamers (at least not the demand there is for it). If that is the business model they wanna go with by al means do. However don't try and sucker coat and make a PR message about it is a service to gamers. However until their business model change I most likely won't support the company. Also I usually happen to sleep 4 AM CET and work at 12 PM CET.
limited run games has a crappy business practice that only favors scalpers on ebay
Amazing video
limited run purely exists to prey on collectors, their mission statement is good but their actions and the very fact that the games are limited is just shitty
Love your channel and have bought several games from Limited Run. Awaiting Shantae as we speak. Keep up the good work. Oh and tell Limited Run to get Spelunky lined up....
You are just buying those games because they are "limited" and anyone these days want to be a collector. Same people bought them and did not even heard about the game before. Their success is our failure. Good job on that
Really great video, I could have watched it for twice as long.
Great editing, this was a fun watch.
limited run games is a sham company. Selling scarcity.
Woo! The Mark, Tom & Travis Show SRC vinyl behind Douglas!
Great Vid man. Gets me right in in the feels.
Great video! I had no idea these limited run games were available!
MLIG is the best content on RUclips.
Over the years the preorder window has changed to allow more people to preorder a game. What still has not changed is the possibility of another run of a game by somebody else, what has been mentioned in the video. .. no, that is not obvious by the website!
Why should you be angry about more copies? Just remember the star wars games. These games became available in stores not only before all preorders had shipped. In stores it was much cheaper too: two games for less money LRG was charging for one.
Amazing work guys! i want to see more off this kind of videos. It's a shame though i can't get a copy of their games anymore and they are so expensive from scalpers, i think they should limit their purchases to 1 per platform at least and figure out another way make more available.
I would like the Wii digital exclusive Contra: Rebirth and the fabulous XBOX 360 LIVE digital-only arcade game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time Reshelled, to be next on Limited Run's to do list for the PSVita.
"108 minutes to sell out of stock"...lol...now it could take 2 mins.
Just tried to buy a copy of DariusBurst from Limited Run and at 10:00am filled out my info was in the cart and...nothing it vanished?I looked on Ebay and a seller has it for over $100.00 in hand ready to ship after noon if paid for early. Limited Run needs to start running a better business than what is being offered right now!
CAPCOM784 - Wow! Sorry to hear. I actually purchased that game from a retro store in New York City brand new recently.
Physical gaming for life. Screw digital.
Limited Run Games!
I strongly advice with such high demand on your games from 1,500 - 2,500 - 3,000 copies per game and you make low copies and always sold out why not make more games double the number that you produce from 3,000 make it 6 - 7,000 copies!
Do not be scared that it will not be sold by making too many copies.
Make a survey on every country via internet and survey in your area which areas your games are popular. There areas that popular game is not popular there so better make a survey.
Make more copies. I think your games didn't even reached Philippines! Selling more will make you more rich until you could make until a million copies making your game one of the best selling and best games in the console it was released.
As time passes by think about my advice and do it little by little.
KUDOS for you game developers. Your work is my DREAM WORK!
Love the video good work
Hi. It's a cool gaming. Physical cartridge is the best & can be resold/traded and the art is great in person. God bless. Proverbs 31
Tfw its the year 2020 and still no physical copy of PSO2 in English
This was very informative. I want a Vita! Thank you for the video.
I love physical media but i lost interest in limited run when i couldnt get a copy of night trap , stayed up waiting twice and both times it was sold out before it even got to checkout, fuck that i cant be bother with that., now i just download them on steam when they have a sale on for a quarter of the price.
they should have made that dead line game for vita, trust me, youd sell out on it (if thats even possible when you have it available digitally)
Great documentary! I knew this had been made, but never got to watch it before. You've made me love Limited Run Games even more than I thought I could!
Id always go with physical but what I dont like about LGR is that they take a game that is $5 on a store and then sell it for $30 in a box. At least make a physical release of a game that costs almost as much instead of having to pay 6 times more than the digital just to get it in a box. For example Gris for the switch...its a $20 game but instead they chose Escapist which is like $3 digitally.
@@txmqalfpdiq That is all true but my point still is that it wont cost them more for porting a more expensive game to a physical release. For example you have new games that are $50 digital and $50 physical. So its not about being cheaper digitally, its about why not port games that are more wanted and in similar price range instead of going for the bargain bin. Price wise it doesnt change for them wether that game is $3 or $25, they will still put the same amount of money for the box and artwork.
mrixrt's LRG vid brought me here and now this video aged like milk, 'Game preservation' what a joke
[Coury] like every business, they’ve had some growing pains but I personally feel they’ve adjusted fairly well. What are some of the things you feel they could improve on from a game preservation angle?
@@mylifeingaming I got referred here after watching mrixrt vid on the practices of LRG and while I dont want to recap an hour long video in the comments, my main issue with them is the whole Trusted partners thing being used as a scheme for scalping the releases. I'm not so much into physical games myself besides retro, but I would hate to have to pay a scalper on Ebay double or more for a release just because they got a 'Trusted Partner' copy and then just flipped it on Ebay. Love your work btw!
Bogart has DEFINITELY "Bogarted" some joints in his lifetime.
Monokuma in the background - good taste.
Bravo! Well done episode!
Ay, it's Bearded Pat!
I really hope these guys can eventually make releases on Switch or at least Xbox One. I'd love to pick up a few of these but I'm not a PlayStation guy.
I have both but, I agree...
The Xbox profile pic really backs that up.
Think i have an addiction
Would be great to hear the second part of the story, Coury ;) (how LRG managed to sign Nintendo up)
After dealing with limited run I can safely say the name fits the need I had for them their policies are horrible and a lot of people got screwed on the Night trap sale. I would've rather of seeing this be a digital version only at least scalpers would not inflating the price ridiculously to now pick one up also it would've been fair across-the-board. They were really about the people and the collectors they would offer a re-issue or to the people that were in the line on the shopping cart for check out they would offer them a direct link tell them they would have to wait until the game was manufactured and then ship it out once it was paid for prior to no money lost everybody's happy to get a copy this is a very big disappointment and to be honest after this I would say I would never use their services again
I'm just going to keep wishing someone would put the Final Fantasy digital only games on a disk.
Hope a company does the same but not limited way if the demand is high they should keep printing more copies of that game like dusk, force unleashed, mother russia bleeds I like those games but couldn't afford them at the time but only way to get it now is ebay I won't pay scalpers so guess I'll go digital for those games.
3:51 Gosh I know that game! I use to play in the arcade when I was a kid!!
Honestly I prefer both even though I'm mainly a physical collector there's some games I can't get physically for example last Christmas there was an game on the 3DS called style savvy styling star a lot of people were hoping it will come out physical but it was a digital exclusive. 1:30 I do agree with the guy about some physical games that give you great memories especially with your family I have one game that was given to me by my father a few years ago before he died I can't let it go.
Limited Run = The SCALPERS! Paradise
