Oh, absolutely. LRG's times from order window to shipment are typically in the 5-8 month range. I wouldn't expect to see Sol Cresta shipping until like... August or later.Steven wrote:Who wants to bet that the Japanese physical version will still ship before LRG's does? I will.
Yeah, I will get the PC version once I get around to it eventually, so no physical for me anyway once I do get around to it, as I've bought way too many games recently and have more coming next week when my 360 Saidaioujou gets here... even though I don't have a 360 yet lol. I've recently been buying console games just for physical versions even though I really should be getting everything on PC, so I've decided to move back to PC now whenever possible.

I'm still fine ordering the Switch version, I like having a physical cart. Sometimes I'm cool with just waiting to play the game, though for this one I'll also grab the PSN download version when it releases this month.
Probably the entire solar system…evil_ash_xero wrote:It's weird seeing Kamiya with two sheets of plastic beside of him, like he's an important figure who is under threat of assassination.xxx1993 wrote:Anybody watching the stream?
Also, that interpreter is the most easy going, ad libbing one I've ever heard. Too much lip smacking, though.
Anyone know how many stages this is going to have?

I would extend this to just being over 90% of physical releases in general. It's just not worth keeping around all this clutter in the name of "preservation" as most people seem to make the excuse of, when there are sites that have every game ever released on Switch and PS4 already archived and available to play on modded consoles. We don't live in the 90s anymore and digital preservation actually tends to be more reliable than physical nowadays (by fans, not platform holders,) especially with how inflated and priced-out the physical market is getting.kid aphex wrote:I’ll def be getting the regular JP physical when it gets released.

i would say probably not, as it seems like the HUD on the sides is intended to be seen by players. i agree it would be cool though!Rwave wrote:Will the PC version have a "vertical" mode like the original arcade game ? Would be cool.
Multiple monitors nowadays can be rotated.

I'm in the 10% that values the ability to resell my games, as the type of games I'm into typically have high re-sale, and I don't like throwing money away when I don't have to.

Being a Platinum game, I would bet it will have some difficulty settings that will sort that out.EmperorIng wrote:This is the type of game I am much more willing to give a chance on steam versus ordering a console copy or having it on my library. So I am glad I don't have to wait ages for a throwaway pc port.
Game looks easy (maybe they've only shown the game off on easy?), but retro revivals with higher budgets like this are harder to come by so unless it's a complete disaster I'll be up for it.
A review from nintendolife is out: https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/sw ... sol-crestaSomeone seemed to think the game would benefit from a scanline filter to make the visuals more bearable, but in an epic misstep the filter actually makes the game borderline unplayable at any of its offered intensities. Imagine a broken CRT monitor with a failing tube and vaseline smeared all over the glass, resulting in a blurring of detail to the point where it becomes a handicap.
