I've had their Daifukkatsu and Espgaluda II pre-ordered with shipping to US for a while now, from Amazon.jp - so that doesn't appear to be true.BrianC wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 12:49 amExcept that Superdeluxe blocks companies from selling their games to the US.Ms. Tea wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 11:59 pm Superdeluxe does more traditional distribution in Japan - I guess LRG adapting to the local expectations? Their edition of DFK for Switch is up on Amazon Japan right now with regular preorder and distribution times rather than LRG's super far in advance preorder/prepay schedules. So I guess if you don't feel like playing the LRG wait time lottery, you can just wait for it to go to Superdeluxe.
Also, it doesn't appear that their games ever release BEFORE the US Limited Run versions - it's just a later Japan region physical retail version. A lot of the additional items in their Collector's Editions are the same as the LRG CEs too. For example, the Daifukkatsu and Espgaluda II chiptune soundtracks look to be the exact same CD as the LRG release (but in a slightly different case).
Their catalog so far includes:
Cuphead (PS4, Switch)
Sol Cresta (PS4, Switch)
Tetris Effect (PS5, PS4, Switch)
Unpacking (Switch)
Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu (Switch)
Espgaluda II (Switch)
Gimmick (PS4, Switch)
Untitled Goose Game (Switch)
