Just saw this. I'll have to see the price, but a 100% licensed release with a new localization is definitely tempting.

...Then perhaps they might try to enforce their copyrights ?

I think they’re trying to compete the reproductions out of business instead. If it’s price comparable and fully legit and fancy I can’t see ANY reason to go with the repro.

Good of lrg to do a reprint of rondo but i have an original copy still so i'm good.Still when it comes to lrg i won't be surprise if scalpers will buy it up to flip.One example is shantae for the gbc,lrg did a reprint of that plus it got a port to switch and both have been flipped.Given how collectable dracula-x rondo of blood has become i can see it happening.

i wonder if it cost US$60 or US$40?, LRG games cartridges seems to be US$60 and CDrom games around US$40

Yeah lrg doesn't do day one orders anymore but given how collectable dracula-x rondo of blood has become,i bet scalpers will buy it up.

I’d buy this game if I didn’t hate Limited Run. The last thing I bought there was a pain in the ass process and I despise their hype business model. I already have this game so I’ll pass. The Limited will likely cost a ton of money and be obviously not the OG so the OG is still vastly preferable.
Certainly not bad news in any way. I’m very happy for the noobs. At least they can buy this with confidence.

I hope scalpers buy this in droves. The people who want one will also buy one and prices will go down, squeezing PCE Works.

This will be a Limited Run...these will likely always be more scarce and expensive and less flashy so Tobias will be fine. ...unless this is the groundwork for shutting his ass down legally...we can only hope. Japanese companies aren’t very litigious by western standards. Limited Run would certain have standing to sue after this.

The only question is, if it’s going to fully licensed and localized as a Turbo Duo title they’re going to have to find someone to draw absolutely HORRIBLE cover art for it. Where to they look? Maybe the guy who manages Limited Run has a fourth grade niece that can do it?

Please just let me pre-order normally and not compete with bots buying up the entire run.

Limited Run doesn't actually do limited-in-number runs any more, really. They still have time-limited order windows, but they'll take as many orders as they get in that time. So unless someone bot-floods to simply block ordering, they won't run out of orders. And if there was an ordering block flood they would probably extend the window to accommodate. That's why I want scalpers to buy hundreds of copies. Scalpers can buy all they want and it won't prevent actual gamers from being able to order a copy. And then those scalpers will have to try and sell those copies and find most folks who wanted one already got one.
And I honestly don't care if the Limited Run version isn't a "BITD original". I bought an original new back in the day and don't have it any more and I don't really care. I just want a legit copy that works. I have legit copies on the Wii VC and on my TG-16 Mini, and as long as the price is good I'll have one of these, too. Konami has definitely gotten my money for Rondo.
