Does this combo pack of Hotline Miami / Hotline Miami 2 on PS4 exist?

As depicted anyways, I cannot find any of these on Ebay except for the same stock photo.

I do see that Special Reserve Games sold a bundle for these two games but they are separate game cases that are each put into those Dog boxes.

It's for sale on Best Buy, just released today. Probably why there aren't any photos online right now.

OK that makes sense. That entry was made with Official Release set instead of the upcoming option, so I wasn't sure.

I don't think it's been mentioned on our forums before, but I've just learned about Japanese publisher B-Side Games who is among those listed before who publishes small print runs for Nintendo Switch games. A few of their titles have already been added to the database, so some of our users are already well aware of them. However, I feel as though most of VGC's small-print collectors do not.

Ordinarily, B-Side does offer international shipping, although I'm not sure if their announced shipping pause due to Covid-19 has since resumed.

LRG put up Super Meat Boy today and had a Vita release for it. I had a separate tab open for it and when I went to hit refresh it popped up a page for Lawbreakers.  :o

Apparently it was some kind of anti-bot measure and instructed you to go to the main page and click on SMB for Vita. Only problem is, there was no listing for a good 30 seconds. I saw the CE version sell out instantly and finally hit refresh and it showed up. I was able to get a copy locked down but my cousin missed out.  :-\

I certainly did NOT miss this mad scramble nonsense. I get that it's Vita and they don't have the chips available but I MUCH prefer the open pre-order model they've since adopted.

Well, despite just recently learning about B-Side Games, I've just read that the publisher is shutting down. At the moment, a final sale with highly marked down prices for items is going on. International shipping is steep, but I suppose that makes up for the low prices now.

If anyone knows as to where this company 1Print Games is based out of, we can make sure these things are located in the correct categories
Eternal Radiance currently in Switch [JP]: https://vgcollect.com/item/209257
Eternal Radiance currently in Switch [CN]: https://vgcollect.com/item/214528
Also since the second one was actually sold "bagged" and the game case inside has an alternate cover so it will be possible to create an entry just for the game that is included in that pack as a separate entry, but again once we can know where these games are from.

Here are photos for the regular version: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134008194613
Here are photos for the bagged version with different cover: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165274212997
Here is a video showing how that version is packaged: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKwkxdryoV4

Their website doesn't say where they are from, they own an alternate domain that has a .es (1pgam.es) extension but it is not because of Spain, but because it looks "cute" or smart I guess. I looked on their twitter and it doesn't say there either.

I think identifying where 1PrintGames is located formally would require contacting them. I can't find the information through any of their other social media pages or within their FAQ page.

For what it's worth, it seems that 1PrintGames' products ship from either Japan or Singapore but are intended for a global audience. With that in mind, could their products have varying set categories depending on the origin of item shipping? Or should we be adamant about trying to identify the company's home country?

It is currently the way we handle these third (or is it second?) party publishers. The exception is when the publisher makes region "specific" versions like this:

They seem to be in Singapore.
My copy of the #214528 - "Eternal Radiance (Authenticity Card)" was shipped out using SingPost. Like dhaabi mentioned their products based/shipped out SG but for a global audience.   

Also, the developer is Visualnoveler listed on back of the case and on steam. I couldn't find them on the developer list unless I missed it, so the dev field was left as n/a.

What I meant is that some of their products are shipped from Japan while others are shipped from Singapore. However, 1PrintGames could be based somewhere else altogether.

I reached out to 1Print Games last week to see if they could provide an answer.

Hi dhaabi,

1Print Games is headquartered in Singapore with a regional office in Japan to assist with logistics and production. I guess you can identify as a Singapore company.

Hope that helps. Thank you.

Regards,
1Print Games

If you bought Furi from LRG, Game Bakers seem to be offering a free digital copy of the game due to the DLC that just came out not being compatible with the LRG versions of the game.
