CodysGameRoom | 2,008 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Curious.... is the NES release the NES port and the PC release a PC version? Or is it the same old NES version on both? Which NES version is it? Or is it the PC version on an NES cartridge? Someone find these answers because I don't know how to. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even realized they were making a PC release. Anyway, my guess is that its the c64 version. It looks like theres a 'nuke 'em' alarm poster included. I know in the PC version, the security door thats on the 2nd floor was the copy protection part of the game, where you had to input a code from the manual, ala the monkey island heads. This was removed for the NES version, but the keypad can still be found and if used, after 3 (or 5) incorrect tries, the house blows up. So since that little poster isnt in the NES LRG version, its probably the PC. Most likely a 1 time thing, if its even in the game itself. IIRC, everytime you went thru that door you needed to put in the code, which was annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is picking it up - Playasia lists a US release - they rarely say who but it will likely show up on google searches in the near future. https://www.play-asia.com/ghost-trick-phantom-detective/13/70fzyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,096 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Is it weird that I'm fine with paying $34.99 for Shantae or Xtreme Sports on Switch but A Boy and his Blob collection which has two games in one feels like it's not worth it? I think the problem is I don't think the A Boy and his Blob games are fun. The Wii remake was much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 They're really not fun. They were even questionable fun depending on a lot of specific types of personal taste even back then. You had to be into point and click almost style play, to a fault obtuse puzzles, having nearly no sense of direction on what items do, until you waste one, and a heap of trial and error deaths and restarts by the section if not screen depending on the action(s) involved both NES and GB sequel. Like you they couldn't pay me to play Blob, totally was immediately in on Shantae and I"m not 100% warm on that either, but at least it's fair and engaging. I've watched some playthroughs of both those blob games since I won't tolerate it, and it cemented why watching someone who memorized the games to do the video.

MiamiSlice | 3,096 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 It’s a Boku no Natsuyasumi game (Summer Vacation) but with the characters and art style from Crayon Shin-Chan. It’s cute, funny, etc. Still waiting for the day that the original series gets translated but this is a nice entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmauzo | 1,202 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I just saw this today...I would never have expected this Summer Vacation Shin-Chan game to get released here, which is AWESOME! If there was a way to get Sony to bring over the four Boku no Natsuyasumi games in a compilation or something, I'd buy two copies just to support the endeavour and my way of saying 'THANK YOU' for making that gaming dream come true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,966 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I've heard of the Summer Vacation games, but never tried them. Is it an Animal Crossing-like affair or what are we talking about? It also seems like this one happens to be based on some cartoon show, but I can't figure out if it's a kiddie cartoon, or if it's something intended for older audiences, just made with a kiddie-style look.

Tabonga | 2,323 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Looks like Limited Run is up to some tricks again. I had a bunch of games on my watch list at Amazon that were supposed to be available in the store beyond their numbered releases (albeit with different covers and not numbered) - I don't care about that - I just want the games and to save on shipping. I went back and three of them now show as not available. So I ordered the three that still were. Now one of those shows as not available and the other two show no record in my orders list. Looks like they still have a lot to learn about customer service. Of course the pre-order window has closed on three of the four. So unless they put them back in the store I am kinda screwed.

Tabonga | 2,323 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Well I went to their Amazon store and everything was back to normal except one game which is still in limbo. To be safe I pre-ordered everything that I wanted except one - and they all show up on my orders now. So hopefully it is smooth sailing for now.

It's in the vein of South Park with profanity, toilet humour and whatnot. Altough since it's Japanese natively the cultural context is adjusted on the English dub in order for it to make better sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Announcement email from LRG. TLDR: Promises to speed up shipping…again. Standardized packaging for most collectors editions No more free trading cards with numbered releases Check your email for a $5 coupon code that expires at the end of April https://limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/limited-run-shipping-initiatives-2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Only six months out so far with Valis II, hated having to go this route. If they're going to speed shipping, I guess I'll get it by Christmas? The card thing they cut out some time ago, my Valis didn't have it, don't think the one before did either.

Sumez | 2,966 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Sounds good if they're gonna start taking less than a full year for shipping games. Also European hub is great news. No more bloated shipping rates. Always sucks ordering from LRG knowing the price of the game is less than half of the cost you actually end up paying.

Sumez | 2,966 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Taking hits to the collector's editions is kinda weird. Those are already overpriced and really shoddy quality as it is, so I don't care personally. I'm not getting them. Regardless, it's inconsequential - because I never order those, and most of my orders still average a wait time of 11-15 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
