My first, last and only experience buying from limited run took 14 months for an order to be fulfilled. Cardboard and plastic - not a high performance racing engine or a fucking space shuttle.
Not so fast! How do we know this wasn't done in order to prevent disc rot? It's possible that these could be archival grade discs that were burned, in order to guarantee that the disc layers remain sealed together and don't come unglued years later.
Sweet, still have my CD burner so I guess I can get into the retro reprint business. Maybe I can also have my nephew draw the custom cover art for my editions too.
Well I have to admit, they screwed up an order of mine but it was a screw up in my favor. They sent me two copies of a game (I only ordered 1 copy and got charged for only 1 copy). I even tried to send it back to the, but they said “no, just sell it” and I was like “ooooookay”
It’s unfair how LRG immediately charge your credit card for a game that won’t be released in 2 years, and not to mention their customer service is non-existent.
I'll never give LRG a penny, after they fired their community manager because of who she followed on Twitter. They can do what they want, but I can also never buy any of their products.
Even if their rerelease of Rondo of Blood was a pressed disc.. $150?? I know the used game market prices are high for that one, but does that mean they have to gouge their own prices too? I see a perfectly good cib original on Ebay right now for $180
I have multiple 3DO consoles and D didn't work on any of them (Sanyo, GoldStar, and Panasonic FZ-1 models). I think the write speed was too high to run on the system because I've tried burned games on my 3DO units and they all stutter because the write speeds were too high. Even at 4X burn speeds it was still difficult to get my burned copies of games to read. I like the physical media for my 3DO but I just play the ROMs. I reached out to their support and let them know I had issues. If they send me a replacement disc that's fine. I didn't realize that D wasn't a pressed disc so I'm glad I caught this video.
Limited run games . On the one hand , when i do order from them , i was concerned that my order was cancelled after little to no updates regarding Valis collection 1 switch until last year in November Nov. On the other hand, they do a lot of physical copies for said indie digital only games of past and present on eshop etc yet its still a weird gray area...
While not as bad as this CD-R issue, I am disappointed with an order that I recently received from them. They have been gradually releasing the soundtracks to the various TMNT games from the late 80s and early 90s. I received the one for the Arcade Game (which includes the music from both the arcade and NES versions). Here is the problem with it... The actual original arcade intro used the theme song from the cartoon... meaning the same original recording used in the intro to the 80s/90s cartoon (until the last couple/few seasons when they changed it). But the first Aracde1up TMNT cabinet as well as the Cowabunga Collection replaced it with a cover version due to licensing issues (I believe the later A1up cabinet with the Turtles in Time artwork on the cabinet has the original theme song). Well, I received my CD soundtrack, went to listen to it, and guess which version is on it? Yup, the COVER version from that first A1up and Cowabunga Collection versions. To the best of my knowledge, this was not notated or called out on the listing on their site when it went up for order. Granted, I didn't buy it just for that one song, and that song is available through other means, but it is still very annoying and IMO misleading. I would not expect the SOUNDTRACK to the game to run into the same licensing issues as reissuing the game, itself, and if that was an issue, they should have pointed it out.
This happens with lots of companies. At first it's a small group of people who are passionate and running a relatively simple operation. Then they get bigger, things get more complicated, and they need to hire people who don't necessarily have the same level of passion. Now there is more at stake because you need to make money to pay these people and keep things going. If you don't spend the time to carefully lay the foundation for a solid business at the beginning (structure, processes, mission, culture, etc.), things will fall apart later on. You start to lose the script, cut corners to meet quotas, etc. That's what we are seeing. It's hard and takes a lot of deliberate effort to start a company that has the legs to be sustainable past the initial stages.
I sold all my LR games I made a small fortune from selling my shantae games. I re-purchased them in digital form. I do not want to own or support anything from that garbage company
Should I redownload all of my Shantae games? It's a little difficult trying to get them all physically for the switch(and 3ds), and I feel like I own them digitally if I go offline and never go online again.
I like how much time and effort was used to painstakingly change the image from original to nicer*. Must of taken hours, days even! Or maybe 2 seconds to click the blur button...
What got me out of Limited run was the fact there was almost zero communication after you would order a product as to when it would get to you ( a vague couple of months in the pre order was never met yet it took them took over a year to deliver, with no communication from the company. It always felt like they took the money and ran) and little-no communication on reddit until Kara came on. After all the bullshit that happened with Kara and the companies insanity, it was easy to walk away from them. This fraud is not surprising, unfortunately, given their makeup.
I still have a 3DO & the main reason I ever purchased one in the first place was for "D". I also have the game on the SEGA Saturn, Playstation, PC, & the director's cut which was also for the 3DO. I spent so may hours on this game locating all 9 beetle locations, getting all 3 endings, seeing every cut scene. I also have great affection for "D2" & really just about everything from Kenji Eno including his music. His games should get remastered & re-released physically on modern consoles. At the very least "D" "Enemy Zero" "D2" "Trip'D".
For serious. I was already pretty put out with them and that was the last straw. I don't even pay attention to what they're releasing anymore since they obviously don't want my money anyhow.
I wish I could say I'm done with LRG and SLG but honestly they keeping finding way to sneak back into my field of view. That Rocket Knight collection is just to sweet.
Shopped with them a few times, probably won't again. First experience was Shredder's Revenge for the Switch releasing in retail before i got the standard edition from them.
So sad, bro! Kenji Eno's up there with Fumito Ueda as one of my favorite people in games period! Ueda even got his start under Eno's wing, working on Enemy Zero as a WARP member! His works and memory deserves more than this lazy effort. Very disappointing. 😢 Cheers to Eno. I hope he isnt rolling in his grave! I'm sure he'd have hand delivered them if he could and would have a word with LRG for their desecration of his masterpiece! Peace.
Simple: just outsource the thinking to RGT85, or any other angry-as-a-service provider. That way you can relax and only get angry when the daily video title says so.
Over the years, there were definitely a few titles they covered that I salivated over. And a few times I was just about to bite the bullet and do it, but something always just felt "off" or not "legit" about what they do. I don't know what it was, and i am a SUCKER for nostalgia that mindlessly pays a premium for... but something about their games just gave me such a ;bad vibe. I'm so damn happy that I never gave them any of my business. Great video bro, hope you have a good week and weekend.
I've ordered a couple games from LRG (X-Wing, TIE Fighters, House in Fata Morgana), and haven't had an issue with them, but they definitely messed up here. I've met one of the founders, and had a great convo with him. I hope they'll do better going forward, especially if they ever do a reprint of 3DO Wing Commander, which I'd kill for.
@@polycube868 lol yeah at this point, that's the route that I'm going with since I couldn't pre-order the cart due to my budget right now in regards to car payments and despite owning the official repro of the first game. And plus it's been really BS to even try to get the series physically; the original, Risky's Revenge, Pirate's Curse only having LRG physical releases minus Half Genie Hero having one through Xseed and Seven Sirins through Arc System Works in Asian regions.
@@polycube868 Oooo that would be interesting. I know I already own a Miyoo Mini Plus and other emulation solutions but I have always been curious about the Evercade systems for a while. And it would be interesting if Blaze were to have a publishing branch if they gave Shantae wider releases because I know that there was a lot of demand for the Duke Nukem 1 and 2 Remasters to be on other platforms if they're mainly tied to them and not Gearbox.
I used to collect limited run games and I stopped, I purchased panzer dragoon and I needed to wait about 10 months, then I see it at Walmart from another company. Thanks but no thanks if there is a must play game I want I will pay a little extra and get it off of eBay.
No now buys limited run because it’s fighting for physical release of games …. Everyone buys limited run games banking and hoping that the game they buy goes up in value and treating it as an asset . It’s fucking annoying treating games as a fucking asset class .
anyone remember when they released the doom collection on switch and showed one price then when preorders went live it was like $20 higher, bait and switch
I like some of the Switch games they put out but they make some weird decisions. Plumbers don't Wear Ties for the 3do was only available for one day on April 1st.
i stopped with limiter run after i waited a year for the castlevania switch case. the case took a year. a year. for a case. and i had to email them about it!
Limited Run should start doing crazy things, that would get people super interested, how about releasing "Killer Instinct" for the Neo Geo MVS, or something like Mega Man 9 and 10 for the Nes, and see how that goes.
Something else that bugs me about them is when they release a game and its not even the latest version. I mean, in some cases it cannot be helped, but for the most part, a lot of games are missing updates released far before they ship. But that is but one issue with them.
The only 2 games ive purchased from them were shredders revenge and SoR4. I recall them going on sale theough amazon shortly after launch for cheaper if im not mistaken. And i had to wait while Amazon order's shipped shortly after launch.
I'm never ordering from them again. Ordered twice and had to wait far longer than was advised (still awaiting 2nd order that should have been received by March 2024).
Ive never actually ordered anything from Limited Run itself...I do have a lot of Limited Run games, whether I find them at a second-hand store or cheaper on eBay. I do appreciate them for bringing a lot of these smaller titles physical (since I rarely go digital). The whole waiting a while sucks, but I guess technically you are still waiting if you find one out in the wild.
Yeah wow, I'm glad I didn't order either of those two. Limited Run needs to make this right. I own quite a few Limited Run games, and this gives me pause about ordering more.
D2 was crazy! I remember that game. The beginning was disturbing with the whole alien mouth violation part. I'm not surprised it didn't get a re-release. Never played the original D though.
My first purchase from LRG is the persona 3 and 4 limited editions for switch. I had no idea it was going to take over a year + to receive the products.
I've only ever bought the No More Heroes trilogy from them cuz they were the only place that sold physical copies for the Switch. That was before I found out about all of the controversies with the company. Needless to say, I never bought anything else from them ever again though I was tempted (specifically for the Scott Pilgrim re-release).
Glad i caught this video. This is non game related. But can be in relation to this topic. I bought a Blu-ray about a month ago from a huge retailer. Had it shipped to me. When i opened the Blu-ray i noticed that it was a BDR disc. One side of the disc had the title of the movie and looked unprofessionally printed. The data side looked exactly like what a burned disc looks like. You could see it. The worst part was the movie skipped and stopped at one point. The movie was Zatoichi 2003 Miramax Release. I immediately returned it for another copy. The 2nd copy was the same. Returned again and got a refund. This is happening to more than just games i guess. No wonder piracy is happening so much. You cant even buy from legitimate companies anymore.
I never pre order from them I just go to my local super game Time store they pretty much everything from limited run but I pay a little more and I’m okay with it
Yeah, Just like I said in another comment, I was waiting for LRG to put a physical version of a recent indie game for sale, But now I'm just going to wait for it to be on mercari and buy it then.
Yet, they are quick to take your time right there. The same reason I don't buy from Analogue. They are a ripoff. I bought a Retrotink 5x. I waited a week for them to ship and it's on its way. That's the kind of service I like. They let me know when it's out and let me track it too. That's how you run an operation
I really don’t get into the personal staff business because that has nothing to do with the games they make the only thing about limited run is I wish more stores carried those games so I can save more money
The lead time is out of control. Was afraid I got caught in some weird ponzi scheme. While I waited 2yrs for my order, that shenanigan where they fired that girl happened. Games finally arrived later than estimated. The order arrived fine but my confidence in the company tanked. Now I order elsewhere.
I've heard quite a few controversies about Limited Run. Wait times and pre-order ethics are one thing, but this? I was originally going to say that this is an actual problem, but the more I thought of it, something came to mind that could give them the benefit of the doubt. Though pressed discs are usually considered to be superior to burned ones, pressing discs can run the risk of delamination/rot in the future. Perhaps archival grade discs were burned as not to take any chances?
1:06 That's not an exaggeration, I waited literally 2 whole years for my Shantae statue to finally arrive!
I never got the Switch copy of DOOM Eternal. In fact, I wound up getting my money back because they missed the date by several months.
Betcha it was really a 3D printed shantae 😂
@@adventureoflinkmk2 NGL the statue was actually pretty good quality, and the light-up feature was pretty cool too!
My first, last and only experience buying from limited run took 14 months for an order to be fulfilled. Cardboard and plastic - not a high performance racing engine or a fucking space shuttle.
This one isn't drama, it's straight-up fraud.

Is it possible the minimum order on pressed discs is just too high for a release like this and they had no other good option.
It's $64 worth of stickers in the box and $1 for the game. And don't forget the $15 shipping!
and no shipping insurance

Damn... CD-R Collector's edition games...
I had quite a few of those for the PS1 and Dreamcast. Should have kept them. 🥴🤣🤣
Never buying from limited run ever again thanks for the videos RGT saving me some dough
Kinda makes sense why they don't accept PayPal anymore, harder for people to get refunds
They also charge for refunds and canceled pre-orders.
Coming Soon to a street corner near you: Limited Run Games’ Sidewalk Bootleg Bonanza!
Hollywood from GLOW/ Plumbers don’t wear ties: Still got it 👌
This isn't "drama", this is a legitimate consumer rights issue.
This is why piracy is a thing
The 3DO was awesome! GEX !!!!! Mines in storage, not dusting it off anytime soon.
I still have my 3DO and Saturn and have Original copies of D for both. Was a solid game for the time.
My first purchase from LRG is the persona 3 and 4 limited editions for switch. I had no idea it was going to take over a year + to receive the products.
I've only ever bought the No More Heroes trilogy from them cuz they were the only place that sold physical copies for the Switch. That was before I found out about all of the controversies with the company. Needless to say, I never bought anything else from them ever again though I was tempted (specifically for the Scott Pilgrim re-release).
Glad i caught this video. This is non game related. But can be in relation to this topic. I bought a Blu-ray about a month ago from a huge retailer. Had it shipped to me. When i opened the Blu-ray i noticed that it was a BDR disc. One side of the disc had the title of the movie and looked unprofessionally printed. The data side looked exactly like what a burned disc looks like. You could see it. The worst part was the movie skipped and stopped at one point. The movie was Zatoichi 2003 Miramax Release. I immediately returned it for another copy. The 2nd copy was the same. Returned again and got a refund. This is happening to more than just games i guess. No wonder piracy is happening so much. You cant even buy from legitimate companies anymore.
A British man who cosplays as an Australian lmao
I never pre order from them I just go to my local super game Time store they pretty much everything from limited run but I pay a little more and I’m okay with it
I bought a GoldStar 3DO about a month ago after searching everywhere. I’m enjoying it.
Apparently Rocket Knight is ready to be shipped in August. Shocking right?
How do games that size fit on a cd-r?
I owned 3 different 3dos back in the day.but I can't think of anything that would warrant a re-release unless you put together a compilation of games.
I had to threaten to take my issue to social Media when i literally waited a year for my order with them.
yeah the year long turnaround for an order sucks.
Same
Yeah, Just like I said in another comment, I was waiting for LRG to put a physical version of a recent indie game for sale, But now I'm just going to wait for it to be on mercari and buy it then.
Yet, they are quick to take your time right there. The same reason I don't buy from Analogue. They are a ripoff. I bought a Retrotink 5x. I waited a week for them to ship and it's on its way. That's the kind of service I like. They let me know when it's out and let me track it too. That's how you run an operation
Yeah, I would say this is a fucking problem.
I really don’t get into the personal staff business because that has nothing to do with the games they make the only thing about limited run is I wish more stores carried those games so I can save more money
so part of the problem is that the 3do has a split in which systems can play CDr games kind of like with the Dreamcast.
That’s how I assumed they were making their CD reprints anyways
The lead time is out of control. Was afraid I got caught in some weird ponzi scheme. While I waited 2yrs for my order, that shenanigan where they fired that girl happened. Games finally arrived later than estimated. The order arrived fine but my confidence in the company tanked. Now I order elsewhere.
MVG always catching strays
Here the prerogative is if they are going to make refunds if the games doesn't work that lessen the problem but doesn't erase it
I had 3DO back in the 90's! Road and Tracks 'The Need for Speed '.
I've heard quite a few controversies about Limited Run. Wait times and pre-order ethics are one thing, but this? I was originally going to say that this is an actual problem, but the more I thought of it, something came to mind that could give them the benefit of the doubt. Though pressed discs are usually considered to be superior to burned ones, pressing discs can run the risk of delamination/rot in the future. Perhaps archival grade discs were burned as not to take any chances?
They have good art work & packing for the CDRs at least 😂
So… with a sweet printer & rom, I could also have a Limited Run games “Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties”?
You could also make a keio flying squadron for Sega CD, save yourself $3,000
D!! The first game I played on Saturn. Was scary. Now it’s..well something.
hi RGT
I preordered once from them and never again
Cosplays as an Australian 😂😂😂
Rather go flashcarts and ODEs for my retro gaming needs. Was going to be a matter of time that a company would try this!
Limited Run Games management and PR needs an overhaul ASAP.
They literally acknowledged it and apologized, offering refunds and newly pressed disks for people willing to wait ... That's a pretty quick response
