Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Cheerleader Physical Edition Pre-Orders Now Live

The game is fun enough as an arcade experience. I wonder if this re-release got the go ahead because publishers know that it's prime time to release games that star sexy ladies. Because some people think a videogame starring a sexy cheerleader lady is subversive...lol.

Or you can buy the Asia standard release (w/ English), for only $37.99, and it releases in September and not December.

@tapdancingtommy from play.asia after taxes, posting and everything cost basically doubles

I saw limited run. Red flag.

Hmmm, so the digital version doesn’t come out till after preorders close. Since there’s no way of knowing if the Switch version will be a good port, I’ll just wait.

If you look closely, you can see that Limited Run cover has slightly less cleavage than Play Asia. This kind of censorship is ridiculous. I'll get the Play Asia version instead.

@dojmin lol.

I spent a lot of money on the 360 market place closure so I'll let my wallet cool off for 2 weeks or so before ordering this.

Can I just buy it on amazon...?

Limited Run Bad! 🦜
Even though they improved Switch production to 5 months from order, which isn't much longer than pre-ordering from Amazon.
Still! Limited Run Bad! 🦜

Neither Suda or Gunn are involved in this in any way, they've seemingly ditched Yamaoka's original score, and 16 of the licensed tracks from the game have been replaced with (if the tailer is any indication) legally distinct knock-offs.

None of those are 100% deal-breakers, but expectations firmly in check, here, folks.

@tapdancingtommy I doubt an LRG order would release same year

@LadyCharlie wait, what? In what world does LRG get something out in under 16 months?

I hope that they also do that other Suda 51 project that’s like “Shadows of the Damned” or something like that

EDIT: It’s literally mentioned in the article

@dojmin : Sex sells sea shells by the seashore.

@TheExile285 Agree, I am also skeptical regarding the performance. I backed Wonderful 101 and was very disappointed by the Switch port.

A physical release of these third-party games should be announced after the digital release, with all the patches on the cartridge. The Ori collection is a prime example for that strategy, and I love it!

@Zeebor15 This one.
I purchased Quake II from Limited Run last year. Ordered in August, was playing in December.
I purchased Arzette this year. Ordered in March, was playing in May.

@LadyCharlie Well now that's... okay fair enough, I beleive I owe Josh some level apology, but mostly credit to Clear River for actually wooping their butts into gear to get stuff out on time. I'll still always be mad about the $30, but a 2 month turn around on their "in-house" productions is almost resonable. Guess that's what I get for just shoving them in the Ubisoft corner of my mind and trying to forget about them at all others. Though, in my defence, their website is still crap in a hat and they need to update their Amazon and Best Buy pages.

So at least LRG is doing a physical XBox version.
Still unsure about getting this game

Why can't people sell this stuff at normal stores anymore and give everyone a fair chance? Booooo!

@Steel76 Some people like collecting merchandise and figurines.

I pre-ordered it. I liked this game on my Xbox 360 (I still have it), and I definitely want the statue and collector's box. I don't mind waiting. Limited Run has been good to me.

I'll wait till the digital version is released to see if it's a good enough port, and then I will get a Japanese copy. No fomo pressure, cheaper and I will get it earlier than Limited Run. Three birds in one stone.

@fabiop I see you are from the UK. I don't know how it works for you in your country but in the EU, you pay no import fees for any order/invoice with a value inferior to €150. and Play-Asia offers free shipping if you spend usually over €115 or thereabouts.

So if you target a total value for your order that neatly falls in between those two, you get free shipping, and since Play-Asia is a registered IOSS seller, no customs fees, you simply pay the VAT applicable in your country directly to them.

I've been ordering from them in that way for a while now, saves quite a bit of money.

EDIT: And i have this Play-Asia release preordered as a matter of fact

No support for Limited Run. I really hate this trash company and wish someone else would do these physical release. Oh well, digital it is.

@RudyC3 in Uk it is horrific. 20% import duties regardless the value, and shipping cost (which can be waved I think if amount is high).
In general… play Asia is never the best place to buy.

@pneumaticgnosis I am with you. Last game I bought (monkey island limited) felt like a joke. Poor quality, one year after

i import most switch games from playasia way better then limited run.

Limitedpop Chainsaw: ReRUN

Considering grabbing a Play-Asia copy this time 😱

Play Asia all the way, my friends.

@Magic_Spoon
Yeah, I'm disappointed MadWorld hasn't been ported by now. Especially considering the close relationship Nintendo has with Platinum Games and Sega.
