Preorders for Fear Effect and APICO opening for preorder via LRG soon.

Fear Effect is a solid Resident Evil clone (I remember liking it on PS1) and APICO is a cozy bee keeper game.

Speaking of Limited Run, it seems their streak of uploading a Not-E3 E3 Presentation annually has come to an end? From 2018 to 2024 LRG uploaded a vod presenting the next year's worth of preorders, but have yet to upload one this month. So since there's no LRG presentation this year, maybe it's a sign of their ridiculous release schedule finally slowing down?

@Magician
I was wondering about LRG3 myself.
I guess it could be a number of things, like the optics around the company and Josh Fairhurst, and the fact that multiple announcements from previous LRG3 have never materialised.
Superhot for example, had an LRG3 announcement in 2021, nothing has come of if yet.

Yes. Even when looking at last year's LRG3, a number of those announcements have yet to materialize. Wolfenstein II in particular, for me, is one where I'm wondering what the holdup is? G.I. Joe Wrath of Cobra less so, as it seems to be fairly mid.

I also noticed LRG lists stuff oddly on their site, even on top of the numbering system.

They have the Award Winning Indie Gems listed as a numbered release, yet no number listed.

Unless I am missing something here and they are numbered.

@Paraka
It just seems to be a data entry issue.
It's not unusual for the "last chance" items to be pushed to the top of the list, though.
I'm skipping that "Award Winning Indie Gems" title anyway, for the on-the-nose title, and that I already have Endling which is the only game in there that interests me.

Clear River Games have opted Ender Magnolia.

Limited Run announcement...any minute now?

I've had my eye on a copy of Operation Wolf Returns for a while. However, I wasn't willing to pay full price. I have a lot of nostalgia for Operation Wolf. One of those common cabinets whenever I went to an arcade in my youth. OWR seems like solid nostalgia bait.

Down to $20 on AmazonNA.

I paired it with an order for...one of the highest rated games of the past 90 days. Care to guess?

SelectaPlay have opted Nordic Ashes. PEGI rated box art spotted.

Leoful have opted Date with Devils and Doom Sweeper.

I'll probably pass on Date with Devils, but Doom Sweeper seems like a solid Plants vs. Zombies clone.

Good olde Gamefly with the leaks.

Atari are coming at us with a Turok Trilogy Collection.

I already have the individual LRG releases so this is an easy skip for me.

@Magician - I dunno, a trilogy may also have the bug patches in 2.

Super Rare have opted Aka.

Coming off of Laika and The Pedestrian, probably...one of their lesser choices of recent memory.

Double Dragon Revive

I like the franchise, but this doesn't look any better than Double Dragon Neon, bleh.

Fangamer are doing a 20XX and 30XX double pack. Pretty cool.

I've been away from this topic a while, but I'm happy to see Switch physical releases are still relatively strong! I bet they'll have better than expected longevity thanks to the Switch 2's backwards compatibility and that whole S2 game key situation. I'd rather buy an on-the-cart Switch 2 release than a S1 copy for which I then must download a deuce upgrade, but either option is much better than a dongle that unlocks a digital game.

My game purchases certainly haven't slowed down any this year. I just picked up S2 Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma to support the fine folks at Marvelous for actually including the game on the cartridge!
Also jumped on a VGP listing this week for some older Super Rare games! I grabbed Grapple Dog while it was still in stock.
Next week we also have DK Bananza, (Pac Man's) Shadow Labyrinth, and DREDGE: Complete Edition all incoming, so no rest for the backlogged!

@Teksette I've been eyeing the Dredge: Complete Edition, as I've been playing the base game and enjoying it. Please let me know if the DLC is on cartridge. If there's a download, I'll know to skip buying it.
