Will there still be a standard version of flashback?
Nope, just the collector's edition. But if you didn't get in for the Amazon NA preorder I'm sure you could get a European copy of the game. Either through shop4megastore, play asia, or eBay UK.

Wow! Glad I saw that when I did. I nearly decided to wait to pre-order... glad I didn’t!
Same here. I considered waiting until the afternoon. Then I thought to myself, "it's Flashback. How many people would preorder that archaic platforming classic? Oh wait, limited edition Switch games from smaller publishers sell out superfast. Preorder, preorder it now!"

My pal version was only 33$ US with free shipping so I’ll just stick with that unless Best Buy randomly gets it. The shop4megastore recently went up in price to $36 for preorder

See, I didn’t know it was a limited edition as the EU version has been open for preorder for seemingly months without selling out, so I figured this would be the same way. The only reason I ordered when I did is because I had been wanting that game as an NA release so badly ever since I first saw it that I couldn’t contain my excitement. So glad though, it looks like an incredible CE

Yeah, the official twitter account for Microids mentioned that the print run would be 30k. However, that was a month or two ago. It's unclear if the before mentioned 30k print run is final...worldwide, or if the print run was later increased to meet demand in other regions. This was suppose to be PAL-only release it seemed.

If the NA version comes open again can someone please tag me and let me know? I'm trying to keep up to date in case it does again, but I feel I missed out on this one. Trying to avoid scalper fees.
I did set up for an email reminder but at odds with it. They could send an email after it's sold out again! I've had that happen before which stunk.

That’s kind of what worries me. I hope that this wasn’t a fluke and they cancel pre-orders and I hope this really is an NTSC release and not just a pal version on amazon US

Turns out the NTSC version is being published by Maximum Games, not Microids. So this release is definitely not a part of the 30k PAL print run. But the really confusing bit is how a bunch of Maximum Games box art have Microids as the publisher on game box art. Along with Focus Home Interactive.

Very weird. I’d say the way this game has just suddenly appeared and is strange as well... but I won’t complain!

That sexy box art, yo. Published my Maximum Games, but with Microids on the box. I...am...baffled. And staring me in the face is that same advert with the numbered (##### out of 30000) "exclusive" metal card.
I kind of...want to yell at my monitor right now. Is this part of a 30k print run or a 60k print run? Fewer? More?

Oh crap so pixel junk monsters is pretty good was going to skip it (already buried in games atm) but the charm pulled me in after watchin some vids n damn it I havent played a decent tower defence since ninjatown!
I’m in the same boat. I did play the demo and found it to be relaxing and enjoyable and I adore the art! It strikes me as almost claymation, but prettier. I’m also a sucker for steelbooks. Looks like I went from a total pass to spending $70 (if I’m lucky).
I don't know about you all, but my credit card is taking a beating. Thankfully some of my pre-orders didn't go through on my card yet (guess some sites charge when shipped) so thats helped a lot!

I hope they did 30k each region, ya know? I guess we will find out soon as to what's going on. Heck I've read one guy on another site still thinks Little Nightmares is releasing physically in the U.S...too much confusion for us!
