Gunvein - NGDev Team's Foray into High Definition Gaming

[Samuray]

WTF? The first batch of Gunvein was sold in Dec 2023, wasn't it? The copy of Razion I ordered earlier this year shipped after a few weeks.

October, actually.
But Razion EX was just a reprint of an existing SKU.

Razion was produced years ago though, so they had copies I'm sure.

Well - yes and no. The previous batches were sold out, this was a fresh one, but they did have all assets ready to get produced, like cartridge label, manual and so on. But this latest print of Razion EX is actually the most current version, with the horrible music bug fixed (Stage 1 music played as well in Stage 2, while that track was missing; there was a patch though, but I did sell my previous copy and buy this fixed version)

Ah, I read about that bug. Great to hear my copy has the update on cart!

I hope when a 2nd/3rd batch etc. opens up for GunVein the shipping time will be similar to the last reprint of Razion.

Whatever happened to this coming on PS4? If i recall correctly Sony had a coming soon page back in 2022 -- but i can not find it anymore.

According to their blog, it's still coming (and / or Razion EX).

Got notification that my Switch copy of Gunvein has shipped, and I see it moving in tracking. Ordered it the day it went up last year, October 14.

Same. Man, releasing games in 2024 (2023?) is really a slow process

Glad I managed to get a copy when they sold off the remaining stock. Missing the 1st order window was a blessing in disguise, wouldn't have gotten my copy any sooner

I like seeing a thread like this pop back up, and just knowing that means the game finally shipped.

This game is rather crashy on Switch. Had in once crash during a level transition and once during the credits after a clear. That's really disappointing considering how old the game is at this point and major showstopper bugs like that should've really been fixed long ago. Double disappointing that they are on the cart. Also the game has a rather lengthy 'pre-loading' screen but still loads during level transitions. It's a fun game but I really wish the tech side could've been sorted out better.

[ASDR]

Yeah, game seems to frequently crash right after a clear :/ Fun game, but broken on cart and no patch.

Physical copies available again from NgDev official website for anyone that missed previous sales.

Any reason so many of these games make it to the Switch WAY before PS4 or PS5?
Still waiting for this and Steel Empire Chronicles.

i believe they simply sell more on the switch.

Way more.
Also, portability is a serious factor.

Makes sense, honestly. Still, I would really like to see them on the PSN, a bit sooner.
