Re: Nefasto's Misadventure Is An Offbeat Point-And-Click About Corrupt Video Game Data

Freek

Pix n Love have collectors Editions available in 2 flavours.
A USA style cover and a Japanese style cover (both have alternating reversible covers) for those interested.

Both copies include:
Nefasto's Misadventure: Meeting Noeroze game (physical edition) for Nintendo Switch and its Japanese reversible cover.
A 1980s/90s style cardboard box in a USA or Japanese version, numbered to 500 copies.
A 64-page fully illustrated strategy guide.
The OST in CD format.
A hand-autographed poster of the Aurora Game Studio developers.

Here's the links:

I've used Pix n Love numerous times and they aren't like LRG that take an eternity to deliver, they're usually pretty quick, plus they have great communication.
Ask them a question and they always answer.

Looks awesome.
Hopefully there's a physical copy.

Reminds me of another game that Nintendo Life didn't review called Skul: The Hero Slayer where you use different skulls that change your abilities.
It was an awesome Dead Cells style game that NL still hasn't reviewed.
Their loss as it is a great game.

Re: Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Live

@Serpenterror
I've bought a few games off Pix n Love and they always deliver.
I bought No More Heroes 3 CE, Sifu Signature Edition, Cuphead Deluxe Edition (just shipped last week) and I have Souldiers CE pre ordered with them.
Souldiers is the only game they have been delayed on but they contacted me and let me know.
Their communication is excellent, ask them a question and they always get back to you
I'll be pre-ordering this too if my wallet will let me.

Re: Feature: 6 Things We'd Love To See In Metroid Prime 4

As a Prime fan I absolutely hated Dread.
I didn't like anything about it.
The Prime games are about isolation, exploring the environment.
I don't want the Prime games to borrow anything from Dread.
It is different and is meant to be.
I hope they keep it in line with the original MP.

I thought the Wii U gamepad was perfect for a Metroid game, scanning, morph ball segments and so much more could of been done with the gamepad.
Shame Nintendo lost faith in their vision.

Re: Return To Monkey Island Sets Sail For Physical Release

I have ordered plenty of games through LRG.
Not one problem, in fact I recently ordered 3 games off them in their sale.
I got The Takeover, Huntdown and Hyper Light Drifter Collector's Editions.
I already have the standard edition of those games but wanted the CE's.
They state that the games usually ship between 6 to 8 months after pre-orders close up front.
I get that people are impatient and don't like to wait but I'd rather wait and have a physical copy than not get a physical copy at all.
This is the way limited games are published these days.
The word limited should tell you that these aren't mass produced like the bigger companies.

Saying that, games like this should definitely be sold through normal retailers, I agree, but that is not LRG fault, that is the agreement the company making the game made.
They obviously wanted this game to have a Limited Edition that would do the series justice, big publishers don't do Limited Edition Games very often and just want to push the game out the door.

I'll keep supporting LRG, Strictly Limited, Premium Edition and Super Rare games if that means I get LE of series that I love that wouldn't normally get this treatment.

It is all about choice.
I definitely think that the standard edition should go through the usual outlets and the Limited Edition versions through companies like the ones I stated.
Until that happens though we're stuck with this as our only option.
At least we have one option.

Re: Ubisoft Share Price Tumbles After Dire Sales Report

Freek

I bought the Gold edition of Sparks of Hope day one (on sale) and it is absolutely better than the first game.
My favourite new Mario series in a looooong time.
I hope they keep making them because they're worth every cent.
So much content too.

Shame that most people are waiting because that will probably end the series due to low sales.
Hopefully Nintendo keep partnering with them as like I said, this is the best Mario series in ages imo.

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally

Freek

Physical.
I own them.
I can trade them.
I can sell them.
They're worth a lot once they're old, like my N64 collection, Cube collection, Wii collection etc.
Even rubbish games are worth a lot once they're old.
I can sell my old games for new ones.

That "junk" that us collectors hold onto will finance my new car etc.
My kids get to enjoy my retro games, that were once my current games like my Switch collection is today.

Also, are we that lazy that to get off our backsides and change a cartridge is too much of a hassle?
Really?

Reminds me of that Wall E scene of humans rolling around because we've become too lazy to walk.
