Fairune Collection Receiving A Super Rare Physical Release On Switch This Month

Plot Twist: One game in cart, three download codes.

@MFNDarkis - Oddly enough, not how SRG has done this.

@Paraka no but they did do a double pack last month that was on two carts and twice the price and I find it hard to believe both wouldn’t have fitted on same cart. Every company seems happy to milk the switch users. Don’t get me started on SRG “fan club” - I own all but one of their releases - typically the one that worth most - on the whole they are the best of these limited run style companies - price and release schedule.

Capcom would have put the bonus shoot em up on the cart and the other three as download... lol. Shameful

@Stocksy - SRG's "fan club" has been has been under scrutiny since its inception, so far most who are into the limited print titles have not bought it and have done well for themselves in acquiring the ones they want. So far their attempt of milking money from someone is... Well, failing.

But just cause Capcom would do Capcom things doesn't mean there is a pattern for everyone cause one company sets (a rather ridiculous) precedent.

I enjoyed Fairune on 3DS. I'd probably get this if it were £20, but not at £30.

@Paraka agreed although the double pack SRG did last month was rather Capcomesque... when other companies see another milking consumers and it works they often follow suit.... loot boxes and VC and the like is a clear example of this...

@Stocksy What game was it?

@TechaNinja knights of pen and paper 1 and 2.... can’t see either being too big to fit on one cart.... I haven’t checked the game sizes though

@CurryPowderKeg79 that is the one I need yes! Even managed to pick it up on eBay at pretty much cost price and did click and collect and in a mix up the click and collect place sent it for destroying after 6 days!!! Honestly I know I got my money back but I was furious. I was on waiting list with SRG and kept eye on eBay and nothing. When it came out my daughter was in hospital and I thought I’d ordered them all.. but we were living in London at the hospital for 3 months and it’s 2+ hours from home so I didn’t know what had been delivered and by the time we got home and I knew I hadn’t got it - it was sold out! Typical. Ha

@RupeeClock
Are you able to say where your source is saying that Nintendo requires a minimum of 30 US dollars?
I know that I have personally seen games come out of $20 physical so I would like to see your source to compare.

@RupeeClock
Ah, thanks for the reply. I remembered seeing "Has Been Heroes" available at my local GameStop for only $20 so I was confused, but for specialty companies like Limited Run or Super Rare Games, I know they tend to have special conditions, although I'm not specifically certain what they are. I knew about the batch order requirement, aside the 10,000 batch for Xbox one I did not know about, but a minimum pricing is new to me.

This is one of the games I wish I didn't bought digital XD.

four cartridges for $30??? seems like a great deal dunno why people are complaining. or is it only one cartridge? either way, $30 for four games? sounds good to me!

@CurryPowderKeg79 "Had mine preorder for over two weeks now can't wait.(Preordered 3 pack of games)"

Same here did the 3 pak as well and at that time I did also see Fairune showing on their site and figure that was going to be part of the 3 pak.

I have yet to get any of these limited games (except for Golf Story from Best Buy), but I really wanted to get R-Type from Super Rare last week. I just couldn’t justify $42 for a game that sells for $15 on the e-shop when it isn’t on sale. Fairune Collection is going to be around $38 shipped, and is $10 on the eshop. I don’t see how Super Rare is better than Limited Run when the games I’ve seen from them so far are 3x to 4x the price of the eshop version shipped. Golf Story and Celeste were both less than 2x the price of their eshop counterparts (again, when they aren’t on sale). Edit: Just realized I confused Super Rare Games with Strictly Limited Games. There are so many of these companies.

@Arbor they are really short games. Like four short NES games with 16-but graphics sold today for $30.

People complaining about the price- get a life please. These are limited releases and not mass produced so the production costs will be more than normal releases. Also, th resale value is huge so just see it as an investment. If not buy it from the estore.

Those forced “very limited editions” aren’t exactly good for everyone, fans of the game who really want a copy probably will need some luck while scalpers should make lots of money. Of course that’s probably not the case with this particular collection, but I hate how much this nasty market grew in the past decade.

I was asking why people bash Limited Run as greedy and praise companies like Super Rare when Limited Run’s games are closer in price to their eshop counterparts. I guess that was too complicated for some to understand.

@JoeyJoey95 Thanks, that is helpful. I did realize after my first post that I was confusing Strictly Limited Games with Super Rare Games. I hadn’t actually done business with any of these companies until today, when I ordered The Messenger from Special Reserve Games (I really can’t keep all these companies straight!). I do appreciate the explanation.
