If you have a Shantae paired with Doom that you bought recently you probably won't see that for a very long time Right, the Shantae’s just sold alongside Doom 64 are the original and Risky’s Revenge and reprint of Half Genie Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,940 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I get the lack of trust with LRG too, it's not something they should be proud of, and should care about. Yet they seemingly don't care if people get fed up as not enough do it make a dent where it hurts. I am annoyed at the no updates/word on stuff other than Panzer Dragoon which was for the best since the card(Switch) will now have all the updates/additions on it at least. Yet not a word on things, they just shift the quarters back or drop it to just saying a year. it's like, is it that hard to send a general update mailer out maybe in mass once a month where you can get some notes on where things are? That would help with confidence. If I wasn't so hopped up on owning what I pay for (or not paying $500-600 for GBC Shantae) I'd not tolerate the mess with some of my outstanding games like the 2 Blaster Master 0 titles.

fox | 1,668 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Any update on Carrion? Ordered it for my cousin, told him it was ether an early bday gift or late Christmas gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,550 Editorials Team · Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 If you order from LRG (or any indie label) you just have to assume you're gonna get it when you're gonna get it. Gone Home took like 11 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, SRG does appear to have a quicker turnaround than LRG, but don't hold your breath. Although, you will get the game, I'm really looking forward to playing this!

To be clear, I don't follow news outlets and I am strictly interested in physical. I'd assumed it was already out, just like Panzer Dragoon, which I'm still waiting on to arrive. Regardless, I bought this when it was released on PC, but I've not had the time to put into since the changes of me playing PC games is slim. Still, it was nice to see a new game built on the new-old Build engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of them are actually the same game - Shantae, released in 2002 - one edition is a re-release of the original GBC and the other is a port for Switch. The other is the second game, originally on the DS, is from 2010. Edited October 10, 2020 by avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a thread about this The moment LRG announced the re-release I think the effect was priced in. The price of a loose cart has come down (from over $800 to under $600) but as far as I can tell a CIB Shantae is still going for over $2k. Seems like the hype around the whole series is still making the original desirable enough for high end collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the hype around the whole series is still making the original desirable enough for high end collectors. I don’t think we’ll see too much pullback on the CIB price because people still want the original for either their full GB CIB set or if they’re just curating a nice collection of GB CIB games then they want Shantae because it’s a good game. Maybe I’m viewing this release wrong, but I kind of see this LRG GB Shantae as a legal version of a reproduction. It wouldn’t count as part of the full set if you had the LRG version over the original, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course not, just like the Mega Man X repro from iam8bit doesn’t count for anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
