Be careful about ordering this from SLG. I heard that people who ordered the last couple of Retro Bit releases never got them. It seems SLG hasn't paid Retro Bit for the games. SLG must be using the money collected from the preorders to fund other games.

I would recommend never ordering anything from Strictly Limited Games. My order of Ray'z Arcade Chronology from August 2022 is still "in production" while they are continuing to issue new preorders. Beyond bad business. Don't give these people your money.

Me to I’m thinking they will go out of business before I get everything. Unfortunately @Jon and I pool our orders together and I know he’s mad AF he didn’t get King of Demons yet since we ordered that through them

And what pisses me off even more is things like Rayz have already had physical releases (albeit missing one of the games) that has been out for years now

Exactly, I’ve pretty much wrote off of ever receiving that game. Their lack of updates is baffling- there is no reason why these games haven’t been shipped.

Just buy the Japanese release, it has all the games.

FYI - the shipping from Amazon.jp to North America (well Canada at least) has come down to a far more respectable 4k yen. Last week it was double that! lol

The very first thing you hear after pressing start are those cruddy sounding white noise effects used for bullets and explosions. They are 100% the exact same as what cheapo SMS games used. Being instantly reminded of Transbot or Astro Warrior is definitely not a flattering comparison.

My Amazon JP order shipped out a few days ago. Annoyingly, for pre-orders the only shipping option was ECMS Express which is significantly more expensive than the standard Amazon JP shipping options available now that the game is out.

i used an intermediary party. I wonder if I will come out cheaper or not. Probably not

Probably depend on how much other stuff you're having shipped. Individually, probably not once you factor the handling and buyers fee. I just paid for direct shipping. Coming via DHL, should be here Tuesday.
