Limited Run Reveals Its First Physical Nintendo Switch Release Of 2023

I am very thankful that spidersaurs are not real and they cannot hurt me.

WayForward usually does some solid stuff. I saw the NL review was 7/10 back when it dropped on the eShop but never looked into it further.

I’m kind of a nostalgic Contra fan, having played it way back when. Ordered the Contra Collection but wondering if this is worth a look too…this game actually any good?

THIS is tempting. Might just make this my first LRG Switch physical.

@ATHFjman18 I've heard mixed impressions about the game from different people, although the pedigree behind it is unimpeachable, since it seems like the Contra 4 team was behind it.

That's the problem isn't it every second comment for games like this on its digital release is "no physical no buy" "I'll wait for a physical " etc on these limited physical release articles ( they cant print them in massive numbers as wont sell them all) there will be comments complaining it's too pricey.

@NeonPizza you know Chex Quest was actually a very fun little game of course being free only made it a nicer suprise. I guess I could see that with this.

@Roibeard64 I think the fact that games have seen limited releases and subsequently seen general, CHEAPER, retail releases is more the problem E.g. Star Wars Republic Commando.

If limited releases were genuinely, one-time only, get-it-now-or-never releases then at least we'd all know where we stood and could make a simple decision.

The trouble is that publishers have exploited the situation and damaged the publisher-customer relationship. Video game customers are constantly on the receiving end of hazy publishing tactics, made to feel like they're being juiced for as much as they can give. DLC, Directors' cuts, Special Editions, Platinum Editions, Collectors' editions, Definitive editions, 'What you haven't got the version with the furry sleeve and sparkly steelbook yet!?!' editions...

That's cute, now give us a chain echoes physical release!

@Synplex
It looks like First Press Games in the UK still has the standard edition of Chained Echoes up for preorder:

I live in the States and CE will be my first order from them. I heard they can be extremely slow to ship, but I took a chance on them anyway.

On topic: Spidersaurs sounds fun but my Contra Collection from LRG will arrive sooner or later and scratch that run n’ gun itch nicely.

@Synplex Deck13 Interactive, alongside developer Matthias Linda, has announced that Chained Echoes will hit Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam on December 8th! The news of the release date also came with the reveal that the title will receive a physical version in the Summer of 2023.Nov 21, 2022

Send the asteroid ☄️

@gcunit Yes. Special reserve games really got me by saying demon throttle was a one time physical only release. Their wording was sneaky, but basically it took forever to release and then after it was revealed it would get a general release.. for cheaper. A lot of folks were upset and their public response was quite snidey. Was spending quite a bit of money with them but they lost a customer for life as I'll never buy from them again.

@teksetter thanks, I didn't think they shipped to the US.

@nuff64 Good to know it offers a challenge. I have been appreciating a lot of 2D shooters/run-guns lately. Too bad they have not rereleased Gunstar Heroes Advanced.

@Synplex
Happy to help! Please just don’t come after me if First Print does take forever to ship, or if it gets a general retail release you could’ve obtained sooner. I’ll have been.burned too! 😉
Collecting physical games is a bit of a gamble these days…

Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

@Synplex @Teksetter Small correction, First Press Games are based in Germany. Be careful with them. I haven't personally ordered anything from them, but I've read a lot of negative things about them delaying releases, ignoring refund requests, and deleting negative comments on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

@RainbowGazelle
Thanks for the correction! I mix up all the European low print publishers. Typical American! 😅

Chained Echoes is my first order with First Press, so I do hope they follow through well enough. With such a popular title this time, there will be a lot of disappointed shoppers otherwise!

Real question: How come the exclusive poster and CD case, meant to entice you into buying the pricey Special Edition, show less Victoria cleavage than the cheaper Standard Edition boxart? From a business standpoint, wouldn't it make more sense to switch that?

@Teksetter Yeah, it looks like a great game. I really hope they deliver!

@nukatha not real yet

@Sequel same, Limited Run has a terrible customer service, and lost us as customers also. Wife and I have over 10 games still waiting on from last year, a few of which are now cheaper and available at BESTBUY… they are way behind the times..

@FarTulip that's ridiculous

Limited Run Games is horribly ran. They lost me as a customer a while back.

When the heck is Plumbers Don't Wear Ties going to go live?! I've been waiting since it was announced in 2020 and still nothing!
