@Magician - So this just hit me; This game still exists, but NoA got uppity over Death;End Re-quest Code Z?

Yup, evidently Nintendo recently changed their game submission guidelines for North America (Murica) and Europe. Those games with...sexually suggestive content are being flagged and are having a tough time passing the guidelines. Neptunia ReBirth Trilogy, Death;End Re-quest Code Z, and Tokyo Clanpool are all recent examples of games failing the new guidelines.

@Magician - Which baffles me cause the "Hentai X Whatever" AI slop keep passing.

Which, I am willing to bet is one of the reasons they changed the guideline to begin with.

Super Rare sending out emails on their next Switch release; SteamWorld Build.

It was inevitable for that release, stoked for it. But I did note there is no triple pack with this game leading it. May be another double release in the month.

Yup, SteamWorld Build is a highly anticipated and assumed release from Super Rare.

Figure SteamWorld Heist II won't be too far behind it.

Feels like time is running out.

Is 2025 the year we'll get Trails of Cold Steel I & II physical releases with English support?

@Magician - I know the whole reason is because XSEED has the VA rights. Honestly, at this point, a sub port is all that's needed.

Beginning 2025 with straight fire, LRG.

As a Legacy of Kain fan, Soul Reaver 1 & 2 is a purchase-on-general-principle.

I seem to recall you missed out on Gunvein last time it was available?

@RupeeClock

Correct. Thank you for that. I was aware of the upcoming preorder. But I believe NGDev do not allow the use of Paypal on preorders anymore?

I might just have to bite the bullet and take a standard copy from an Ebay flipper.

@Magician
Yeah, the order pages warn that you can only use credit card or Klarna payments.
Nintendo UK Store also disallows Paypal for pre-orders, so there's probably some business reason for it possibly related to both businesses operating in Germany.

When I ordered Gunvein in October, I would've used my VISA debit card to order it, if you can do debit cards.
They don't seem to have a minimum order value for UK customers this time either? I had to place a pretty big order for Razion EX back in 2021 just to get myself a copy, whilst my brother took the other copies for himself and friends.

Magical Drop VI is hitting the LRG distribution line.

Pretty cool, Magical Drop is one of my favorite drop-puzzler series of games.

I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on a Japanese copy last year.

Still waiting for XCX to go up for preorder on AmazonNA, usually provided by Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, or whatever. Apparently Nintendo is still big-mad at Amazon for shipping games before street date? I don't know, I'd say things are worse over at Walmart with the googly-eyes shenanigans.

I see Strictly Limited copies of Drainus are out in the wild now.

Still waiting on Dezatopia & Mecha Ritz though.

I've had my copy of Drainus in-hand since March 2023, I only waited a few months after ordering it in November 2022.
The turn around for Drainus was really fast compared to other pre-orders around that time.

Yes I can corroborate on Drainus - Nov ‘22 order, March ‘23 receipt for me, too. I think it was not long after that SLG went silent and stopped shipping stuff.

SLG said in their New Year’s greeting email that they’ve shipped Ray’z Arcade, Eshatos, and Dariusburst CS Core, but maybe they’re talking about PS4? I had preordered all 3 for Switch, but have only received Dariusburst so far. How about you other SLG shoppers out there?

Ah, but I remember now I ordered the mid-tier edition of Ray’z and Eschatos, so I could get the soundtracks. That’s probably holding things up.

I played a little of the first game on my Sega CD long ago, when I had more time for RPGs! I'm glad to see the games revived for the new age.

I might just skip this one, though, since 1) I'm saving up for Switch Deux, 2) I've got the games already on my Mega Drive Mini 2 (in Japanese, at least, but I'd probably want to play them in Japanese anyway), and 3) I'm not crazy about the physical being an Amazon exclusive in NA. Does Amazon really need the support?

These are well-loved games that needed a re-release, though - I hope the collection is a great time for those who purchase!

@Teksette

I can only assume Amazon gave GungHo a money injection, and that retail exclusivity was the pivot point to get ze money.
