No More Heroes III Now Has A Collector's Edition And Deluxe Edition

If anyone wants to buy me this, you're welcome. Birthday is this month but I don't mind if it's a month late

STRAWBERRY ON THE SHORTCAKE!!!, I NEED THIS!!!!

I would have preferred something similar to the Japanese collector's edition which includes the first two games (presumably) on a single cartridge (as opposed to LRG's overpriced, separate releases). I would happily sell off my sealed LRG copies (which are yet to arrive) for an all-in-one cart.

And I have said it once and I will say it a thousand times...
I don't understand why they keep including vinyls with these releases when the overwhelming majority of music is now produced/mastered digitally. Give us the music either on a CD, or if CD specs aren't up to scratch, then as lossless files on a DVD/Blu-ray (the former should more than suffice unless supplied on a multitude of formats).

And if people want to degrade those lossless files by converting them to analogue, then they are free to do so at their convenience/expense. Everybody wins. But the fact that the mere novelty of vinyl is gaining momentum (to absolutely no benefit to the music itself) while practicality and QUALITY take a backseat is really, really irritating.

I.... don't like when they make such extreme limited editions, makes it incredibly tedious to get and, especially in today's world, very much worth it for scalpers to grab. Also no idea if they even ship worldwide so that's another issue.

I was holding off on my purchase for something like this, and now I'm probably not even gonna be able to get it because it'll sell out within seconds while I'm stuck at work. Wonderful business practice right here.

MOE~😍 If only I could get my beam katana gloves on this.

Odd to see a game soundtrack on an old format like vinyl and not a traditional music CD. Vinyl disc must be the only ancient media format that is still alive today, Betamax, VHS, cassette tape, floppy disk, compact flash, CD-i, HuCard, HD-DVD, SD card (not to be mistaken with microSD card), media flash, cartridges, etc., all dead due to time.

Looks neat, but a regular physical edition will do it for me.

By the time I can actually buy this it will only be available for three times the price on ebay.

I would love it if that art book got it's own release. I love this series so much and cannot wait for the third

I’m too lazy to look it up… what time in EST is 1600 BST?

Deluxe is fine with me if it cost more for the CE...

@Farts_Ahoy 11:00am.

I do love me some Fomo artificial scarcity. Some of the stuff looks cool but I don't bite at the bait.

If I'm going to choose a special edition of this game to get, I honestly would just go for the Killion Dollar Trilogy that comes with all 3 games

I love NMH but I will wait for the price drop, can play other games until then. I am not sure what went so wrong, but judging by the visuals the game is being rushed out. The NMH1&2 ports look miles better and have much better performance, I dare say NMH3 looks comparable to the original NMH on the Wii.

@Silly_G I agree with you about having the first two games on a cart, i really wanted to get them if they did it in our country for not a horrible price but looks like ill just be getting the standard edition.

also, about what you said about Vinyl, I think you're looking at it from an odd angle, it's just a cool way to listen to music. it's like buying a game on a cart instead of digital, it has a different emotional context to the consumer, if i went out to my local city and purchased a new record on Vinyl, i have a thing in my hands, it is a tangible item to appreciate and apply a different set of emotional responses too. it's far from novelty too, every album cover is a piece of art too, Abby Road for instance is made better for it's iconic cover and seeing it in Vinyl format makes the piece of art stand out much more than a tiny 2 by 2cm square on a screen. also, CD's suck a fair amount

@Ghost_of_Hasashi Cassette tapes came back too. also, Vinyl makes sense to me as to why it suck around, as far as fidelity goes, it grows with the industry, you get a nice piece of art out of it and the experience of sticking a record on is much different from most delivery methods anyways. I don't know why Cassettes came back though, that never made sense to me at all

@Ghost_of_Hasashi : I can understand the desire of collectors to procure records that were mastered the old-fashioned way. My objection is to the fact that most music since the 80s (I believe) has been mastered digitally, and so there is virtually no benefit to owning vinyl copies of anything anymore, because digital files are being transferred to an analogue format (which itself will inevitably deteriorate) while CDs will be truer to source, and the audio quality will not degrade (short of disc rot/damage, and I am fortunate that none of my pressed CDs, some of which are 30+ years old, are still in perfect working order, even the extreme few with scratches on them, as I have recently digitally backed up most of my CD collection without any issues so far).

But recent pressings of classic albums, even those that were originally mastered the old-fashioned way, would almost certainly be sourced from digital masters today.

Even more ridiculous than the resurgence of the vinyl novelty was when cassettes made a (brief) sort-of comeback a few years ago where new releases were also issued on cassette (including albums by the likes of Kylie Minogue, Madonna, and Melanie C). It's easy enough for people to degrade their CDs to cassette if they still have Hi-Fi equipment from the days of old (as I used to back in the day when I only had a cassette Walkman, but would still buy the odd CD for prosperity). It's easy enough for enthusiasts to do it themselves should they so choose, but I see no point in mass-producing them. CD players have become a rarity as it is (short of in-car players) and vinyl even more so, so why not provide a copy in a format that most people will be able to use?

Got the Killion dollar trilogy ordered, so I'm good.

It looks amazing. And I love the cover art.

Man, I can't wait for this game!

Just a standard copy of NMH III for me.

I literally pre-ordered the standard copy like 24 hours ago. LOL.

oh well, I guess that's the version I would want anyway.

... are the Metroid Dread SEs in re-stocked yet? T_T

Would be neat to pre-order if you can access the site... Which is down.

I know that this is going to sound really dumb, but I just realized that the Limited Run Games copies of NMH1&2 will be sitting next to NMHIII, consistency be damned! xD

a CD soundtrack would've probably hooked me.

I want it! Hopefully I'll be more successful here than I was with the dread/smt 5 collector's editions

This game looks so cool

Just put all three games in a physical package. Insta-buy.

@Yosher
Yeah, I live in south america, so it's almost impossible.

@LadyGwen I never knew cassette tape returns though my old folks still use them usually for recording messages and music from radio through them old boom box they still kept around.

I know many people have been complaining about the Limited Run games Collector's edition releases of NMH 1&2 being overpriced but honestly I don't think so. I got mine in the mail recently and they come with a lot of extras compared to this one. Artbook/interviews, steelbook and a regular game case, cd soundtrack, and reversible poster in each and both boxes combine to make a larger artwork either from the front or with the spine facing outwards. Each at $70 usd which is only $10 more than a typical new game I felt was actually good value. Not sure how much this Collector's Edition of NMH3 will end up costing but I still stand by the LRG releases. That said I'll try to snag this one for consistency sake since it doesn't seem the US will be getting a dedicated Collector's edition for NMH3

@Silly_G Just look at the UK Xenoblade LE vs here, would have bought it if it had the cool looking record instead of just some CD that's going to sit in the box more or less.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi I've learned long ago not to use myself as a measurement for "normal," but I have several collector's editions with vinyl soundtracks. Vinyl is my format of choice, but I also listen to CDs and occasionally download only. But one thing I do think is odd is I don't see any mention of the soundtrack having any other formats. The last two I ordered both came with a thumb drive that, along with other things, had a digital copy of the soundtrack and one of them also came with CDs.

@Silly_G meh vinyl has a more different sound. Vinyl also has different experience, but you sure know what im talking about.

Anyway with good mastering cd sounds/is objectively better but it just lacks soul.

I don't need it.... I don't need it.... I don't need it....

...

I NEED IT.

Cool detail for multiple reasons: the numbered certificate on the photo is 0051 / 1500.

All this talk about NMH III, yet NintendoLife still hasn't reviewed The Silver Case 2425....

They could also make it extremely difficult to purchase more than one copy per account/person, but I guess that would make things even worse for the regular customer.

I managed to preorder the collector's edition 2 and half hours after preorders were supposed to start because was can't handle the traffic. So heads up if you try to preorder these.

I’m happy with my Killion Dollar Trilogy Edition! I already bought 1 and 2 digitally the day they were announced, but I hate not owning the physical copy!

I managed to get the more expensive one. It took 30 minutes. Each page load was like 4 minutes and lots of refreshing/reloading. I was actually shocked when I received both PayPal and their websites order confirmation emails. I made sure to sign up to their website early, and set my delivery address up early in preparation too. Maybe that's what swung it for me? I was logged in ready at 4pm and resisted refreshing from impatience. If it was slowly loading, I just let it load for 4 mins each step.

Nothing is guaranteed till I receive it in the post mind you. I have to hope that it doesn't get refunded/canceled like Nintendo UK store did to a bunch of people (myself included) with 2 of the monster hunter stories 2 amiibos. That was incredibly annoying and a £5 voucher for an apology was worthless in my opinion since they charge £5-£10 extra for games vs other cheaper online UK game stores. End of rant!

Anyone else get lucky and get a copy ordered?
