@TalonMan ............ Region is the biggest issue. Most people collect North American only. Also, people say what they want about LRG but their model works to sell out quick.
Agree. For me, it’s a slippery slope. If I justify buying one PAL release.... I’ll start to justify buying a ton of them and I just can go down that road
Sadly I went down that road... it's a dark road. haha
LOL! I started down the Japanese route and happily ran back! I still pick up PAL titles with English but II am thinking of focusing strictly on North American. You have to draw the line at some point with all the collector's edition.
@MrCIB I ran back as well, and fast! Thought about going for everything ... then just games with English speaking options ... now I'm looking at just NA releases due to the amount of Collector's Editions being thrown at us (lookin' at you NIS, lol).

I will be honest, the first import I really tried to get was the UK zelda Link between Worlds special edition. Probably the best special edition I've got by far. Amazing poster, and the little treasure chest is amazing. Also it turned out to be so rare that its like %400 its MSRP. Glad I got it. As with all games, you have to pick and choose.
@hirokun I did buy Ao no kanata no four rythm perfect edition at launch. I have not used the CDs yet, but I think the other CD is asoundtrack CD. The game is allright, I can't actually read Japanese so I can't comment on the quality of the story, but the art looks nice, and the game do have a fun mini game.
I also have the Japanese release of Minna de waiwai! Spelunker its a fun platformer game. Did get released in English but eshop only. The Japanese retail release only has English text, but its not that hard to navigate the menues.
@tobibra ah nice to hear some clarification there. Soundtrack makes sense. So pretty standard then overall I guess. I'm not huge on VN games unless it is something I would be familiar with or looks really good. For example the Death Mark game sounds good because I love creepy Urban Legends, especially Japan seems to have a ton of them and I eat that stuff up. I hope it gets translated for at least an E-shop release. The other one would be the stein's Gate game, but that is only because, as you might guess, I like Stein's Gate's anime. Gosh its been so long now but I loved that show.
Also thanks for letting me know about the english e-shop release for minna de waiwai. Glad to get feedback there too. It seemed like it could be potentially fun, but I'm not so sure I want to get it unless its a really good game.
@hirokun While I do think Spelunker is good, I don't find it amazing. Its enjoyable enough. Just for clarification, the English version is on European and/or American eshop. Japanese eshop release is probaly just Japanese like the retail version.
I look forward to Steins;Gate too, never actually seen the anime but lots of people seems to like it. So will check it out. Also plan to get Nekopara when Switch gets that one too.
My Switch collecting philosophy? Preorder most games I'm interested in playing. Shovelware games (Hello Kitty Kruisers) or games I have zero interest in playing (Attack on Titan 2) can wait for a holiday sale. Japanese games are tougher to gauge because some genres of games don't require an English localization to enjoy, like the upcoming shmup Psyvariar Delta. I'm thinking about preordering the limited edition for that.
P.S. - don't forget about that awesome-looking collectors editions for BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. One from Japan and one from North America. The preorder for the North American version opens May 4th via Arc System Work's online store.

@HiFX what’s the inside cover look like? I bought it from amazon and it has Wild Guns Reloaded printed on the inside. Major bummer.
Apparently all copies of GG2 were misprinted with the internal art from Wild Guns Reloaded. I understand if it's a bummer, but looking on the bright side this will make your copy a lot more collectable if they do a fixed reprint. I'm not a collector myself, but a lot of collectors want misprints like this more than anything.

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
Now that LRG is in full swing with switc releases, should I expect that they’ll continue the way they are now with 1 new switch release each month? I would imagine Saturday morning rpg will be May, then I’ve heard slime San and now night trap in the summer. Anyone know any more than me?
Anyone know what is up with the Switch version of Little Nightmares Complete Edition? Gamestop is the only one that seems to list it, and for some reason it is $60 when both the PS4 and Xbox1 versions are $30. There is no picture, so I'm wondering if this is some cookie cutter placeholder that is wrong.
@SpaceAce13 I scoured the AMA they did on reddit, and they claim they are looking at 1-2 switch games a month because they got a little too crazy in the past with PS4 and Vita games apparently. They aren't obligated to do so, but I imagine they are probably going to try to get the best games possible signed for publishing. Since they are doing open pre-orders for the standard editions for the switch, it seems they want everyone to get a copy of their switch titles and make the LEs at their standard 3k print run. Still once their print run is done its done. So I think they are trying a new approach and I like it. Open pre-orders is a game changer, so I think keeping to 1-2 games a month means quality will remain high, and collectors won't get overly exhausted. I just hope they get good games. Night Trap is just a meme, and I think it is a shame they are taking that one on, with a special edition too no less....But if they got some really hard hitting game like celeste I think they'd be set.

@hirokun I believe someone mentioned it's exclusive to Gamestop, though I don't think that's been confirmed. I looked through the last 5-6 pages of the thread, but wasn't able to find where I saw that. Went ahead and reserved a copy at my local store just in case.

Firstly, I believe little nightmares may be a GameStop exclusive as it’s the only place I’ve seen it so far, as far as the price hike... switch tax I guess. That’s quite a difference though. With that said, I’m super excited for it.
With LRG, I agree. There are a lot of great games they could publish like Celeste as you mentioned or golf story which I would love to see. I’m excited for night trap since I’ve never played it, but do admit it is 100% a gimmick and I’ll probably play it once and never again. Do they plan on doing open pre-orders in perpetuity for standard? Or is that just a feeling out process on the first few to see what the demand is?
@SpaceAce13 oh wow. I wish studios would stop doing gamestop exclusives, such cancer... I may import it then if it turns out cheaper. Even play Asia has the JP version for $33. IMO its a question of, paying extra money for an ESRB rating over a CERO or PEGI etc. rating. I know NA collecting is nuts though.
Yeah golf story would be great too, I heard it was really fun. Even the newly announced President of Nintendo says it was a game he likes.
Yes, LRG said they will continue with open pre-orders for switch games going forward. Obviously the Limited Edition boxes with extra goodies are a finite amount, the first two have been 3000. I didn't know LRG existed when they did thimbleweed park. But I got the second big box for the dual pack of flinthook and mercenaries. It sold the first 2000 in the morning in under 3 minutes. So that is nuts, if your internet is slow you will miss it.
EDIT:yeah I checked. Little Nightmare on Switch is preordering for 2800Yen on Amazon Japan. That is less than $26USD...So even with shipping being probably $10 that is still a much better price. I just don't know if it will have language options for English which would be a big mistake if it doesn't.
Grip is now available for preorder on Amazon North America.
Gamestop has had their preorder open for Grip for a while, but I loathe giving Gamestop my money.

Ugh...confirmed, Naruto UNS Japan-only physical version does not support English subs. Makes me sad. There are a couple One Piece physical releases but none for Naruto? Oh well, I guess I'll wait for a steep eShop sale.

Thankfully, I’ve been able to get both LRG big boxes so far, and i plan on getting all the special editions they release, just trying to figure out how much money that will cost me each month haha.
That crazy about little nightmares though. That price difference is massive! If you don’t care about region and such, that’s definitely the way to go
