Got one. I must have been first. That went fast

Super fast! I luckily got one as well. Time to relax.

Night Trap wasn't even up for 2 minutes. *Sigh* Here's hoping for batch 2.

Screw Limited Run games!
I've waited so long to get Wonder Boy, I clicked to buy the game at the very moment that the counter reached zero, I waited your freaking website find a place for me in the line to check out or some bullshit like this and, nevertheless, I wasn't able to make the buy the game because it was sold out while I was waiting in the damn line that your stupid poor servers put me in!

Screw this website and their shitty business ideas!!!

At least Wonder Boy is available in an English/Chinese release via Play Asia so you can get it through there

I agree though man, it sucks to miss out on it. Hopefully you can grab one at 6pm too, there is another window available.

Is the Play-Asia version the same game? Or does the LRG version have some sort of difference?

Reversible cover art.

Is that it? I'll probably just go with Play-Asia then instead of dealing with the LRG hassle.

What was with that waiting in line thing at checkout? By the time I got out of line, Wonder Boy was sold out. LRG is seriously dropping the ball with their last few releases. If Night Trap is handled this poorly, then I'll just give up on them as a publisher. They are no longer "preserving physical media" when you can't buy it.

Out of these two power houses.  Which developer do you think has had a bigger impact on video games and the RPG/JRPG genre? 

While Altus is doing great things, I think Squaresoft has had the bigger impact. Final Fantasy, Super Mario RPG, Dragon Warrior/Quest just to name a few.
Square shaped the RPG market during the SNES and PSX era.

So is semi-spheres sold out?  I care about that game and it sounds like LRG won't be getting it.

Not if you signed up for the preorder on it. It doesn't show available for me unless I sign in tho, so if you didn't you'll have to wait & hope they have some left when they open it to everyone in a day or so.

Ah, what a bummer.  I'll have to start doing the priority preorder thing.

Semispheres is available to purchase for anyone now.

I thought Sony had a good show despite the audio issues at the start. They didn't top last year or 2015, but with their upcoming slate of games I think it worked to show us how the games previously announced are coming along. The opening with the live music and water fountain for Uncharted were neat. I'm very excited for God of War and Spider-Man. Days Gone and Detroit look promising. I'm surprised Monster Hunter is coming back to PlayStation with how much success the series has had being on Nintendo platforms. Marvel Vs Capcom looks stupidly fun.

Did anyone watch the pre-show? The Crash Trilogy remake looks fantastic. Undertale coming to PS4 and Vita is big. Plus, there will be physical release from Fangamer.

I love E3. No other industry gets excited about upcoming projects like video games.
- I'm very curious about how Microsoft presents Scorpio.
- I want to see more Mario Odyssey but it probably won't be enough to get me to buy a Switch.
- Will Kingdom Hearts 3 show up? I'm still predicting a late 2018 release date despite what Square said with it being within in "3 years or so" I lean more towards the "or so"
- I'm mainly excited to see what Sony has up it's sleeves. What is Sucker Punch working on? Uncharted: Lost Legacy, God of War and Spider-Man all look very promising. Vita 2
Woo!

Niche games are sorta easy to get from Best Buy. In my experience they'll add Atlus, or NISA games into their online store before the game is released but will then sometimes delist some of the games after the game releases. If you know you want the game or find that they have a NISA limited edition or something, pre ordering is a good idea. Finding niche games in stores is few and far between.
