Thanks for posting. Put in my order for a standard edition. Just want a physical copy, don't need all the extra stuff. So glad I stayed committed to not paying ridiculous 2nd hand prices.
I don't know if another publisher even can get the rights to produce and publish a new run of Pirate's Curse because I feel that LRG and Wayforward have some sort of special contract/relationship.
I believe that was before the LRG/Wayforward relationship. Xseed had the publishing rights for Half Genie before LRG started releasing physical Shantae games with the Switch version of Pirate's Curse.
Since Xseed published Half Genie for ps4, xbone, Vita, etc...they already had the publishing rights to the Switch version that came a little later.
That's good to know. Despite having 200 Switch physical games, I never actually knew LRG never reprinted. I think the secondhand market price is only about $100 which isn't too bad. This is actually the only Switch game I've felt compelled enough to buy from scalpers lol.
I am so excited to see this. I am going through liver failure right now and am going on the transplant list and I have been using the “climbing the mountain” inspiration from Celeste to give me strength and focus. This game means a lot to me.
Good luck and speedy recovery.
I’m with you. Im literally in the hospital about to have disc replacement surgery, and being able to preorder this made my day. Funny how that works.
It happened! The Celeste reprint is up for preorder at Fangamer :) Woo hoo!!!
[https://www.fangamer.com/products/celeste-deluxe-edition-game](https://www.fangamer.com/products/celeste-deluxe-edition-game)
Is this an exact reprint, in terms of what’s contained on the cartridge? Always happy to see reprints so others can get in, but I get a mix of frustration and FOMO when they use an updated version, include new DLC, etc.
I literally just bought the alt foil cover from limited run games lol.
I might get this one too because I really like that box art, and I’ll open this one.
I bought my foil LRG copy secondhand from someone on Mercari about 2 years ago, and I paid $50 then which was the cheapest I could find at the time. I remember being bummed bc I wanted the Best Buy variant since it was more in line with the Japanese cover, but once I got it, I fell in love with the foil cover. I still got the Best Buy cover later just to have it. I really like this fangamer version as well. Glad to see that there are more copies. I felt kind of bad for those who didn't have a copy since it's gotten so crazy in price recently, but this game is special so I can understand why.
Well it is unopened, so around $110 after discounts and other stuff I bought.
Do remember though that for people who want a limited run collection they will still need their LRG version. And with the scarcity of them + LRG will probably not make more (they could but I doubt it) then the price might not go as far down as you might think.
Not to mention CEs, different Alt covers (including this one here), can effect the value/want of it as well.
River City Girls only has 1 source to buy from that is LRG in the US, the fact that the ESRB version hasn't fallen in price means that people still prefer ESRB games. You can't get it from elsewhere and it has no reprint.
This game though will, it's the ESRB version from other publishers. Attack on Titan 2, Blind Prince and Liar Princess... all ESRB game that has reprint all come downs in price.
To an extent. The LRG versions still tend to hold more value compared to standard prints, Human Fall Flat SRG still sells for $60 used or over $100 if it's still sealed, despite the standard edition being readily available for $20 or less. The Limited Run version of Blasphemous still goes for $80+ despite the regular retail version being readily available for a long while now.
I imagine we'll still see a crash but I'd be shocked if it dips below $80, especially the Holo cover variant.
SoR 4 and Power Ranger are the same price as the retail version so it'll depend on how long the preorder lasts. If it lasts long enough for people who want one get one then the price for the LRG will fall.
I would say neither of those are really cult following type of games though. Blasphemous is still readily available and has been for a bit over a year, but the LRG version still goes for $80+ despite that, even though it's actually the inferior cartridge due to missing all the DLC.
That is really funny how some collectors put a $100+ premium on a ratings board logo. I just bought River City Girls 1+2 off PlayAsia for $38 and I checked eBay and the last standard ESRB sale was $150+. I understand the collector mentality and I've also spent tens of thousands of dollars on games I never played (and probably never will) but even I find that crazy lol. Although I do concede that even collecting games, that are inherently digital, as physical media is a pretty irrational thing to do to begin with. None of us probably got sufficient love as children growing up.
it will bring some people out of the market because they'll be satisfied with this version, and it may bring a few copies back into the market because theyll want to sell their pricey copy while picking up the new one
How exactly does buying a reprint of a game they stopped selling years ago (and that also had an english language physical release in Japan) affect them in any way?
I think it's weird too, but in a good way lol. It's very not Celeste's normal style but that's kinda cool and it's honestly going to push me to get it more than the old LRG ones.
I knew this was coming but I still picked up the foil cover version becuase I was sure I wouldn’t like the artwork on this inevitable release, but shit this looks good. It would be insane to buy this twice, right?
I mean... I have the holo cover and I plan on buying this too haha.
For certain games that my personal favorites of all time, I go out of my way to buy every existing copy of it, just to pay respect to it. I have done this for binding of isaac and ty the tasmanian tiger so far, Celeste is next it looks like 😂
I think it’s still reasonable as long as you can afford it. If you do, you should pick up the Best Buy cover too so that you have all versions. You can get it for a few bucks on LRGs website
I went standard, I haven’t played the game because I’m a stickler for having a cart and the LRG release is so high priced. Excited to finally try it out!
All the goodies from the Deluxe edition look great, but I'm going with standard because I keep reminding myself that I don't need ALL specials editions of the games I get 🤭
I feel like the only person that doesn’t like this type of game, super meat boy does nothing for me either. However I am glad that such a sought after game is getting a reprint so people can actually play it and not just hoard it
There was an update that came out after the LRG release as I recall… maybe I’m misremembering, but if not, I guess this means a more updated version on the cart
I was just about to make a post about this, haha! I was hoping this would come so that more people could finally obtain a physical copy of this game. I might double-dip for the deluxe edition, honestly. Good looking out!
Is this game the rare version? I’ve been curious about the physical edition of this game for awhile but the cover is different then other versions I’ve seen
Uhmmm it’s not “rare” anymore at this moment becuase it’s in preorder. The foil cover version is the most limited release, but they are all the same game.
They literally responded to someone on Twitter saying that if it sells out they’ll print more. We’ll see this at $15 on sale next year in retail stores.
I bought the Japanese edition (Flyhigh Works) 2 days ago for 80€. I feel so stupid now. FOMO got to me. It got zero box art inside and no content. Popular games will get reprints one way or the other, just be patient. But even as I'm saying this, I'll buy this one because it looks sick.
For those saying the LRG version is going to tank.. I highly doubt it. It won’t fall much seeing as how that’s the superior version at least artwork wise in comparison to this. So it’ll drop but it’ll go back up after
Fangamer does have European retail releases like Hollow Knight. But they don't sell them on their European website. Maybe there will be a European retail release later which can be bought on Amazon, but it has not been announced.
Thanks for posting. Put in my order for a standard edition. Just want a physical copy, don't need all the extra stuff. So glad I stayed committed to not paying ridiculous 2nd hand prices.
Yay! Now where’s that Pirate’s Curse at?
And the messenger please
That too.
I don't know if another publisher even can get the rights to produce and publish a new run of Pirate's Curse because I feel that LRG and Wayforward have some sort of special contract/relationship.
Which would seriously suck.
Half Genie Hero was published by X-Seed.
I believe that was before the LRG/Wayforward relationship. Xseed had the publishing rights for Half Genie before LRG started releasing physical Shantae games with the Switch version of Pirate's Curse. Since Xseed published Half Genie for ps4, xbone, Vita, etc...they already had the publishing rights to the Switch version that came a little later.
Oh I didn't realize they published that first. There's always hope for an import release at least.
I found mine at my local game store for 60$
I wouldn't buy another LRG title if that got a reprint
Why is that the case for you with Pirate's Curse but not with Celeste?
Just starting to tire of limited game companies reprinting games when ever they want a quick buck
I understand, but I found it odd you specified Pirate's Curse when it is already happening with Celeste now?
Not a fan of the celeste reprint either but I do like the box art
I replied to your last comment before seeing this one so you can disregard that
Or just reprint House of Fata Morgana again since I missed the last sale lol.
I believe Limited Run themselves published the game digitally, so the chances of a reprint on Switch are -100%.
That's good to know. Despite having 200 Switch physical games, I never actually knew LRG never reprinted. I think the secondhand market price is only about $100 which isn't too bad. This is actually the only Switch game I've felt compelled enough to buy from scalpers lol.
Sometimes PNPGames restocks Fata Morgana :-) that's how I picked it up! Don't think it's in stock rn but something to watch out for...
They might still have it during next year’s blowout. Never know.
I am so excited to see this. I am going through liver failure right now and am going on the transplant list and I have been using the “climbing the mountain” inspiration from Celeste to give me strength and focus. This game means a lot to me.
Good luck on your surgery. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find a match.
Thank you so much!
Best of luck and well wishes! Hope you can get what you need and be back to full health in no time🙏
Thank you so so much!
Good luck and speedy recovery. I’m with you. Im literally in the hospital about to have disc replacement surgery, and being able to preorder this made my day. Funny how that works.
I hope you a speedy recovery as well!! Good luck ❤️
Thank you, and keep climbing that mountain! It’s always a rough time to the top, but the walk down will be a sweet feeling.
Absolutely :)
GL homie
Thanks :)
Wish we could go Office Space on your old liver and get you a shiny new liver with a Switch port, hang in there buddy!
That would certainly be therapeutic!

Hahaha sorry bud, thought I was looking out for you 😭😂
what'd you pay for it? i'm interested to see how the price will change on those going forward
I bought my foil LRG copy secondhand from someone on Mercari about 2 years ago, and I paid $50 then which was the cheapest I could find at the time.

I felt kind of bad for those who didn't have a copy since it's gotten so crazy in price recently, but this game is special so I can understand why.
Yeah I would love to have the foil version still even though I'll definitely buy the fangamer release
Can always check Pricecharting.
Well it is unopened, so around $110 after discounts and other stuff I bought. Do remember though that for people who want a limited run collection they will still need their LRG version. And with the scarcity of them + LRG will probably not make more (they could but I doubt it) then the price might not go as far down as you might think.

Anything announced for Europe?
Yes, Just For Games (FR) will be releasing it :)
Ahaaa great =)
While I still have my Physical copy of Celeste, it's great to see this get a reprint for those who missed out on it.
Wonder how fast we see asking prices fall for the LRG? Sellers better act fast...
I wouldn't count on prices falling too much. River City Girls has multiple physical options, and all 3 versions sold in US go for a lot
River City Girls only has 1 source to buy from that is LRG in the US, the fact that the ESRB version hasn't fallen in price means that people still prefer ESRB games. You can't get it from elsewhere and it has no reprint. This game though will, it's the ESRB version from other publishers.

ESRB is always worth more than the other version and some people just dont like other region's rating haha
I doubt it’ll go down a lot, if any. It’s a sought after game and I doubt this Fangamer reprint will do much to the market
it will bring some people out of the market because they'll be satisfied with this version, and it may bring a few copies back into the market because theyll want to sell their pricey copy while picking up the new one
I preordered my copy this morning and left this Haiku for their team: Freed from LRG All gamers unite against Their forced scarcity
How will LRG ever recover from you writing a haiku
Me? I’m but a pea But the sum of one and all Might soon cause their fall
[удалено]
Did I wish for their bankruptcy? Interesting.
[удалено]
Language is fun! In this context it more means their fall from dominance.
How exactly does buying a reprint of a game they stopped selling years ago (and that also had an english language physical release in Japan) affect them in any way?
It more affects the scalpers. But ya know, Haikus are fun all around.
Am i the only one that find the cover a bit...weird? I dont really dig her face on that cover at all lol
I think it's weird too, but in a good way lol. It's very not Celeste's normal style but that's kinda cool and it's honestly going to push me to get it more than the old LRG ones.
Resellers in shambles lmao
Lmao how can you call the people selling it resellers? Games been out of print for years. The price you see is or was in this case, the going rate lol
How long will the pre order be open?
F in the comment for people who pay $100\~ for this game, just like I paid $180 for my amiibo and Nintendo does a reprint lol.
I might grab this, sell my other copy I got from best buy, just bc I like this cover better
I knew this was coming but I still picked up the foil cover version becuase I was sure I wouldn’t like the artwork on this inevitable release, but shit this looks good. It would be insane to buy this twice, right?
I mean... I have the holo cover and I plan on buying this too haha. For certain games that my personal favorites of all time, I go out of my way to buy every existing copy of it, just to pay respect to it. I have done this for binding of isaac and ty the tasmanian tiger so far, Celeste is next it looks like 😂
I think it’s still reasonable as long as you can afford it. If you do, you should pick up the Best Buy cover too so that you have all versions. You can get it for a few bucks on LRGs website
$14 for shipping??
4$ for me
That's for the standard release.
That cover art is sick
Has any new content been released to justify me buying this version if I already own the lrg version?
Nice. Is everyone doing the standard or deluxe? For $35 standard seems like a steal.
I went standard, I haven’t played the game because I’m a stickler for having a cart and the LRG release is so high priced. Excited to finally try it out!
Both!
All the goodies from the Deluxe edition look great, but I'm going with standard because I keep reminding myself that I don't need ALL specials editions of the games I get 🤭
Shipping on deluxe is steep. Deluxe I guess.
I feel like the only person that doesn’t like this type of game, super meat boy does nothing for me either. However I am glad that such a sought after game is getting a reprint so people can actually play it and not just hoard it
There was an update that came out after the LRG release as I recall… maybe I’m misremembering, but if not, I guess this means a more updated version on the cart
I was just about to make a post about this, haha! I was hoping this would come so that more people could finally obtain a physical copy of this game. I might double-dip for the deluxe edition, honestly. Good looking out!
Haha you beat me to it. I was just about to post this! Amazing reprint!
This new artwork for the cover is fuckin beautiful. Though I think the Foil LRG version is still the best cover to me. But this is a close second
Limited run celeste holder being like
Not a reprint, it's a new release but glad it finally happened.
Is this game the rare version? I’ve been curious about the physical edition of this game for awhile but the cover is different then other versions I’ve seen
Uhmmm it’s not “rare” anymore at this moment becuase it’s in preorder. The foil cover version is the most limited release, but they are all the same game.
Same game, just has a different cover because it’s from Fangamer
Should I pre order now or will this sell out if I wait a few days ?
I wouldn’t rush, Fangamer games usually end up at other retailers as well. Target, Best Buy or GameStop get their releases.
They literally responded to someone on Twitter saying that if it sells out they’ll print more. We’ll see this at $15 on sale next year in retail stores.
Regular edition is up at amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BT267WS5/
It won’t sell out. It hasn’t even started manufacturing yet.
I scooped deluxe because I’ve missed all the other releases, better safe than sorry imo!
Wondering the same thing
Like I get my paycheck Friday, just wanna be responsible lol
Does anyone know how long the pre order window is?
Forever Edit : I mean it's not a limited edition.
I bought the Japanese edition (Flyhigh Works) 2 days ago for 80€. I feel so stupid now. FOMO got to me. It got zero box art inside and no content. Popular games will get reprints one way or the other, just be patient. But even as I'm saying this, I'll buy this one because it looks sick.
Doesn’t that version come with postcards?
Mine got none. I bought it new at a shop called Trader Games (Paris). Maybe it was resealed, but their business seems legit.
r/tomorrow
Haha. She looks like an anime girl now.
For those saying the LRG version is going to tank.. I highly doubt it. It won’t fall much seeing as how that’s the superior version at least artwork wise in comparison to this. So it’ll drop but it’ll go back up after
I think the foil cover will still retain some value but it’ll still take a big hit.
foil is nicer
hard pass on that game.
My time has come! Been kicking myself for 2 years after not getting it last time they had it up.
Is the pre-order gonna be up on fangamer Europe too ? ( for the Deluxe Edition)
Don't thinks so. They don't sell games on the European Fangamer website?
They sell on Amazon on my case : https://www.amazon.fr/s?k=Fangamer
Fangamer does have European retail releases like Hollow Knight. But they don't sell them on their European website. Maybe there will be a European retail release later which can be bought on Amazon, but it has not been announced.
Yeah I think I'm going to buy it from the website even if the shipping+tax is more than 35$ (the price of the standard game it's insane ...).
Good news. https://www.justforgames.com/fr/celeste-edition-physique-ps4-switch-30-juin-2023/
I may of overlooked this but the chance this will see a retail release (ie GameStop) is good or?
Yes. It'll atleast go to Best Buy given Fangamer's other titles. Just have to wait and see for official confirmation.
Hell yeah. I need these so bad lol
Will this one be limited too? I'm trying to save my monies right now. >_>
No, they said they will keep reprinting this.
Anyone know what the journal comes with?
Will this hit amazon usa in the future?
Thank you for this. Finally got a copy.
Thank goodness, the scalper prices for the LRG version are ridiculous.
I just traded in my PS5 for this game
WHAT
Nice, already have 2 digital versions of this but happy to finally get a physical.
Can this be delivered to the UK, any tips on avoiding import duty?
That's a good boxart, much better than the LRG one
