Yeah, I forgot what an insane lag some of these games had between the Japan release and the Western one. I prefer not to wait for stuff, so I always get the Japanese versions so by the time a Western release is usually announced, I've long completed and kinda forgotten about the release for the most part. I don't buy physical for most games anymore, so the digital is a perfect solution for not waiting an extra 1-3 years to play the gameXtraSmiley wrote:Not necessarily, check out the post above.MachineAres 1CC wrote:The game has already been out for almost a year, I think they would've done it already if they were going toTarma wrote:I wouldn't be suprised if someone like Limited Run do Aleste... you'll just have to wait another 12 months after buying it to actually get it.
Dangun Feveron was released in Japan in April 2017. The Western digital release was April 2018. LRG physical version didn't get sold until April 2021, AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE ACTUAL DISC!!!
Still, I'm happy they are doing it. I love physical on these old games, even thought it's just a disc that will likely die in 20 years.

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
This method is good too. I usually get a game I want to play when I want, but my backlog is so big, having to wait 3 years to grab a disc version is usually not a big deal. But some games, I just get them immediately too!MachineAres 1CC wrote: Yeah, I forgot what an insane lag some of these games had between the Japan release and the Western one.

I hate dealing with Limited Run Games. While I do like what they do, their fulfilment strategy is very frustrating. It shouldn't take over 6 months to burn some discs and print some inlays for a bluray box.
I'd probably buy more stuff from them if they actually published release dates at the time of pre-order. The other annoying thing is games touted by them after they released pre-orders for Dangun Feveron have been published...
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Even when they do finally get stuff in it takes them forever to actually ship things. My DDP SDOJ Soundtrack they got in June, and they said was shipping in July, didn't ship for me till September 30th, and even then they didn't hand it over to the Post Office till October 7th. They really need to hire a lot more people in their Shipping Department.

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
LRG and the shipping timelines blow big chunks, no one can deny that. I'm just happy to get physical media. I think if it was easier to do, more companies would jump in and do it, so I give them a pass on the delays.
Besides, the game is like 20 years old, what's another 6 months to 2 years at this point?

Just gotta mention that LRG recently sold PC players a limited edition physical of Shiren and then shipped them a fucking steam code in a box

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
From how I read it, if you buy digital version and physical version of the Tiger Collection regardless of when you get it, you will get Teki Paki.XtraSmiley wrote:Yeah, that's what it looks like to me too, but I'm wondering if this is for the first print run only or something. Odd that it's not just on the disc.BrianC wrote:Telling from the game page, it's included inside the package ala a digital movie download code packaged with blurays.XtraSmiley wrote:Is this a preorder bonus or a permanent inclusion?
Any word on if this compilation is coming to the Western market, and if not, is there an English option for the Japanese game?
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Play-Asia sent me an email asking for payment. Maybe we're getting lucky and it's gonna ship a week early?

So the buyers literally got the game AND the physical goodies for free because LRG couldn't deliver the physical game discs. I'd say that's good customer service.LRG wrote:This product was originally shown as including a DRM-free game disc, Unfortunately, due to the low volume of sales on this product, it was not possible get a new build of the game to include in this package.

No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Wow, it's things like this where people get on the negativity bandwagon and don't know the whole story. I would hate pre-ordering a game and never getting it, but if the company gave my money back and a lot of stuff too, I wouldn't be angry with the company.Ghegs wrote:Derailing a bit, but from the store page:Bar81 wrote:Same old.

I think their business model is to push the collectable shit, but there is a market for it, so why not let those who buy it be happy? I'm happy getting a physical copy of a game!
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Tiger Collection + its DLC is on the JP eShop. I'll get it shortly since I'm at work.
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Always fun watching a package travel the world. My copy left Hong Kong, went to Alaska, then went to Japan, and now it's in Indiana.
I'm hustling to finish up all the stages in rRootage so I can be fully dedicated to this over the weekend.

If batsugun comes out i order both at once.

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
I take back what I said, you can purchase it but you can't download it until 10/28 JPN Time.
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
There's quite a lot of videos available of the original arcade game. Not sure what you're waiting to see that can't already be seen. It's going to be a spot-on port with lots of M2 widgets.heli wrote:Cant wait for a movie of tiger heli to pop up tomorrow.

That said, it's an older game and one that is fairly aggressive and certainly not everyone's taste. If you're hoping for something like Batsugun you will be disappointed.

I did my digital orders of the main game and the DLC pack. When purchasing the main game pack via Nintendo JP, they put a note saying that Teki Paki is included with the main game pack and it will automatically download. If you want Teki Paki but not the DLC, there you go.
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
I'm already hearing some interesting speculation, but I can't read the announcement material to verify any of this...
1. Somewhere in an announcement it's mentioned that it'll be packaged with a 'masterpiece Toaplan action game.' Snow Bros., maybe?
2. Apparently it's listed as a Spring 2022 release, so there's an acceleration in their release schedule. Maybe we'll get two of these a year?
Again, I am woefully under-equipped to confirm any of this, but - if true - huge news in each case.

Would be amazing if this wasn't just a yearly event, though it is fun to go into the holiday knowing a new STG is coming from M2.jehu wrote:Apparently it's listed as a Spring 2022 release, so there's an acceleration in their release schedule. Maybe we'll get two of these a year?

Awesome news! So, this will be Same! Same! Same!, Flying Shark... and Daisenpuu? Plus some non-related game...
Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Kyukyoku Tiger is now live on the Japan Swtich EShop. Happy to report, very little input lag, everything running smoothly. Teki Paki is also included as a separate game altogether, Get Star looks like it is locked as DLC though so physical edition if you want the full package.

You can buy the DLC separately for about 1,950 yen. You get all the console ports of the Tiger games as well as Getstar.ATTRACTS wrote:Kyukyoku Tiger is now live on the Japan Swtich EShop.

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
A foregone conclusion with M2, but as expected, good god damn does this handle sharply (PS4 tested). Pretty rad seeing Teki Paki sporting the ShotTriggers decal, here's hoping for many more cross-genre picks.
Snow Bros is the one I'd assume, but (admittedly because SB's MD port is ace, as is Wardner's), my heart wants Knuckle Bash.jehu wrote:1. Somewhere in an announcement it's mentioned that it'll be packaged with a 'masterpiece Toaplan action game.' Snow Bros., maybe?

Could also be Horror Story/Demon's World? That's considered an action game right?

Re: M2 Toaplan collection
Fire Shark only got a MD port didn't it? Really hope they'll at least pad it out with Flying Shark!
Saw PlayAsia had the Tiger bundle in stock so ordered the hell out of that (and chucked No More Heroes 1&2 in to make the quick post option worthwhile)
