I shouldn’t be laughing at the plight of everyone (I ordered January 2023 or whatever it was too), but it just feels so validating to know others are still in my boat!! I probably 1-upped most by foolishly ‘doubling down’ and ordering UnderHero from them on the same transaction!? At this point, I’m fairly certain I’m Rogered out of my $100 USD (those customer service responses were…not very reassuring), but it’s oddly comforting knowing my bewilderment isn’t unique. Still holding out hope, just not my breath.!
And when it comes to playing the actual thing (never mind this DLC)? Yeah, have a seat somewhere in my 80-game backlog!
@HalBailman On the topic of portmanteaus, I prefer “Metrovania,” and say it to myself whenever I see otherwise. Castloid’s good, too, just a bit awkward sounding (to me). Cheers!
@timp29 There it is!! Can’t believe you’re the only comment on this! Unless it’s old hat at this point? Obviously quite behind with SF being a lifelong Nintendo only…
I’ll add Mike Bison…er, Balrog to the communal (my) wishlist!
@batmanbud2 Yup! I’ve been in a holding pattern since Christmas. This and TotK (and Prime 4) were nice little announcements, for me, on top of everything else (DK, Cyberpunk, Hades II, Silksong, Yakuza, Elden Ring, Kart…Fast Fusion!)
@Freek
WOW! And I thought I had room to complain about Chained Echoes + UnderHero (January 2023)! Curse you, 1st Press Games, and your phony “Release Progress!”
Of course, @Farts_Ahoy is the true King of Wishful Thinking, here, so I guess I should better get back to my post! Good luck to us all…but yeah, quite glad Schmups aren’t really my thing.!
I believe Link’s Awakening (Switch) says something to the effect of “…but that’s not Yours” when rummaging through others’ cottages. When I first read it, I was like, “well, yeah, and..?!”
@jorel262 I feel seen! I am also replying to you on the TWO year anniversary of purchase!! And people think LRG is bad?! I ordered UnderHero with it (“I’ll save on shipping; genius!”), so I fear that $100 might just be a donation, now.! I guess I have that PC code…
@Coalescence Goodness, this! I have been so close a couple times, then I get anxious, look at the Boss’ remaining life, throw ALL successful tactics employed to that point out the window, and TOTALLY blow it! I said I’d be done after BC I, but with all these updates, who knows? I have, like, 5 biomes undiscovered, and refuse to look up how to unlock them and the ‘special guests’; I want to achieve them ‘organically’!’ So…quite a bit left for me! One of the best games/surprises, for me, on the Switch: no question!!
This is a perfect “snow day” idea! Between going outside, cocoa, eating, and bathroom breaks, this should last the entire day (and add impressive hours to the total, to boot!)! Congratulations on making it to the end!
@SurprisedRobinChu Comforting! Thanks for the response and tips; I might reach out over the summer, but maybe I’ll conscript my dad for the job; he used to know German! Never again, but they seemed reputable enough, at the time… Best of luck to you!
@SurprisedRobinChu So…what do you think our chances of getting Echoes is (I also ordered UnderHero from them)?? I am beginning to mentally prepare myself for a 99€ loss, but would love any updated information, if you have it!
@SurprisedRobinChu First Press??! That’s gotta be the one (I order from them all, and get confused easily) with Chained Echoes and UnderHero!? Been waiting 15 months (in the USA, which I believe is record wait-time, personally), and their Release Progress page has seemingly frozen in place.! Might be the first Burn I “receive” ordering games. Over 100€, but I guess losses should be expected when I’m on my 50th indie purchase…? Holding out hope, though; cmon, let’s get it shipped, guys!
@Andee Thanks! Those are excellent points. Maybe I’ll let it hang around in my collection a little longer (steelbook + regular starts at, like, 90€ on eBay.!)?
It’s your caution of the long haul, naturally, that gives me all kinds of pause! With a backlog that includes Astral Chain, Tears of the Kingdom, Link’s Awakening, Death’s Door, Ys 9, Hollow Knight, NMH 3 (+ Travis Strikes Again), Digimon CS, Bugs Fable, Persona 5 Royal AND SMT-V (to name some of my standout physicals), it’s hard to justify rolling up my sleeves with such a game, when other comparable, yet less frustrating, titles are available and waiting to be cracked!
That’s so funny that you just delved into your year review; as it just so happens, I accessed mine yesterday and had a similar revelation: Switch Log says I only put 35 hours into Loop Hero, but ‘23 Review says it was 47! Must have been ‘dozing at the wheel’ again?! Thanks again for the feedback and correspondence! Have a great holiday (adding to your own collection, I hope) and Happy New Year!
@Andee Thanks for taking a moment to respond, I appreciate that! Wow! Yes, now that you mention it, I do recall other reviews lamenting the tedium of mode-swapping in the latter stages, not to mention how deft your reflexes need to be with the puzzles (it’s always a shame when you know how to proceed, but can’t get your hands to do perform [flawlessly]). Like you said, I am confident it is a quality game, but do I have the patience to endure it all? And as you, I rarely ‘quit’ a game unless it is broken or too vague for its own good (looking at you, Wuppo!). So…I think it’s just not meant to be, backlog withstanding. Thanks again for the response, happy holidays!
@Andee Wait…so you didn’t like CrossCode, or it just dragged on? I only ask because I have it, still in its shrink wrap and everything, and am constantly contemplating starting it. Of course, with a 50+ backlog, I remind myself that I could always sell it and never miss it… It looks so cool, but some of the reviews on YT proclaim it to be pretty hardcore.!
@KingMike This Canadian Fool lives to ***** on LRG; it’s his/her life’s mission! Quite sad to try to convince people, on a site that advertises for them no less, to not buy from them…for reasons. I’m pretty sure their life would cease to have meaning if they (LRG) went under…talk about a catch-22.!!
@Dr_Corndog Ah, thanks for the clarification! While I'd probably prefer them to be absent, I appreciate your explanation of the strategy they DO provide. As with most, my plate is overflowing at the moment, but won't let this one feature completely dissuade me. Into the 'Later pile' you go, thanks again!
Are the buff cards too intrusive? Every screenshot I see has dozens scattered around, making each level seem much easier or unnecessarily scattered for it.? Maybe I’m focusing too much on it, but it seems like a gimmicky thing thrown in that wasn’t needed. It would nice to option this OFF; anyone know if that is the case? This small feature has become a deterrent to buy, as it has the potential to trivialize the leveling and outfitting of a party by simply granting unearned star boosts…
@LP09 @KingMike THIS! Every time an LRG game is announced and posted on this site, I always check the comments to see all the p!$$ and m0@ning, mostly from EVIL-C (they were obviously violated/abused by an employee or something; next level time wasting that one engages in!!), that goes on.! It's truly amazing! That dude Jordan from SwitchWatch has an immense grudge against them as well (but backs Super Rare; curious, indeed.??), and while I think he's funny and find his videos entertaining, MY GOD, give it a rest! Like the majority of the mentally adjusted world population: don't like it? Don't buy it and move on! Try it; "you" might actually enjoy free will...
@geo-shifter YES...and by yes, I mean, I completely agree! This game looks pretty good, but what's with the "on-rails" boss fights?! A game that promotes individuality and the freedom to explore, create and customize...abandons that concept ONLY (from what I'm seeing?) for the boss fights?? I think that could be a deal-breaker for me-gotta be free in my movements!-or, at the very least, a wait-for-review approach to possible purchase.
@Bizzyb Feel again! Like with Ender Lillies, Bug Fables, Inmost, Spiritfarer, Death’s Door, Ori x 2, Hyper Light Drifter, Narita Boy, Astalon, Panzer Paladin, The Touryst (waaaait for it.!), etc., I always hold out hope! I am obsessed with physical; I cannot lie! Helps that I: don’t hate ANY of these boutique businesses (faithful US buyer, here), fully accept the (sometimes ridiculous) mark up as yet another detriment of my increasing OCD, and have a mountainous backlog to sustain the, often, inordinate wait times for reception. 4 years on from purchase, and My collection is looking GOOD! It looks so good, in fact, I might start reviewing games on YouTube just to properly display these, mostly NA, beauties.!! Don’t forget to leave a comment...ha!
@JasmineDragon Here, here! I’ve been banging on the Sugar Rush drum for Years!! Especially ‘now’ that Disney and Nintendo aren’t exactly best friends, what better way to twist the knife than to produce a rival kart racer; imagine if it even skipped the Switch!? Imagine further if it was even half good?! Add in additional DLC Di$ney characters (we don’t race against Bruno...) and famou$ locales (eg. Soul’s ‘purgatory’ would make for an interesting Rainbow Road clone), and you’re guaranteed to move (at least) a million units.!
@MostHandsieBoy
I feel you! I got that one, Narita Boy, Astalon AND Bug Fables SE (I think we're hours away from approaching ONE calendar year) all coming. My backlog sustains my waiting, but I'll echo the advice of @Qphlat27: If you want to play an 'LRG game' immediately, you'll have to double-dip! The wait times are often interminable (3 months would be considered Lightning speed), even if it's, in my opinion, ultimately worth it.
@nhSnork Ha! I actually really appreciated the save system they employed—like ammo and health, they were privileges, not rights! A little elitist, but set me up nicely for the challenges that would transpire decades later (pretty much Day-1’d RE for ‘Cube).
Still waiting on that physical FAR Duo pack, there LRG...Special Res...Bueller?! Hell, u can throw Super Rare a bone and give them something decent to release for a change (keep calm; I own a whopping 3 of their releases)!
@KayFiOS
Poor babe! Try 10 months (and counting) for Bug Fables: Special Edition! With Axiom Verge DUO and Narita Boi to wait on after that!!
Then again, I have a current Switch backlog of 26, and happen to LOVE LRG (one of the last few niceties of being a Yank, it seems), so I guess I’ll leave you with the Braveheart line I remind myself when I’m feeling neglected: “HOOOOOLLDD!!”
@K1LLEGAL So...wait? Are you suggesting that the world does not revolve around America and it’s citizens?! Did my former president lie to me; are we not as great as we think we are? Huh...Damn!
@R1spam Birthday Buddy (‘85)!! I’ve held off digitally for this very announcement and will now be requesting this for my special day! What a nice holiday surprise; cheers!
@nmanifold Agreed...but what’s this Puzzle Bobble?! Did they change the name of the franchise locally (I’m NA)? I haven’t owned a Bust-a-Move title since the ‘Cast, so I’m outdated by decades, for sure. Either way: great news!
@nmanifold Agreed, but what’s all this Puzzle Bobble chatter about?! Did they change the name of the franchise locally (I’m NA)? I haven’t owned a Bust-a-Move title since 4 on the ‘Cast, so it’s been a couple...decades. Either way: great news!
“Sure, some of it is predictable — Team Rocket will always blast off again, Ash will almost always win any battle, and there's never any true conflict — but who cares?”
Ah! Easily the worst part of the late 90’s series! Good to know my time is (still) best spent doing...almost anything else! Thank you for the update.
Something tells me "Delta Tactics" was quickly amended, and they were like, "well, how much do you guys hate just Triangle Strategy? Really? Wow, OK, then, that's easy! Triangle Stratty it is! Soooo...Happy Hour?"

Re: Chained Echoes 'Ashes Of Elrant' DLC Arrives On Switch In August
I shouldn’t be laughing at the plight of everyone (I ordered January 2023 or whatever it was too), but it just feels so validating to know others are still in my boat!! I probably 1-upped most by foolishly ‘doubling down’ and ordering UnderHero from them on the same transaction!? At this point, I’m fairly certain I’m Rogered out of my $100 USD (those customer service responses were…not very reassuring), but it’s oddly comforting knowing my bewilderment isn’t unique.
