@@Ferroreo the good news is that they shared images about a week ago of the physical cartridges of chained echoes that arrived at their storage facility in large batches so the dream is still alive
@Frshmachine look, I will not believe it till I have it in my hands... I do know it's their biggest "release" so they feel like delivering this one will cut them slack.
Well said Jordan, bout time the spotlight got shined on First Press, as dodgy as some of limited run games practices can be it's nothing on FP's daylight robbery, I've got preorders for Chained Echoes and crimson clover that'll I'll probably never see. Wonder what they've done with all our money...
I'm not saying they are good but I think Special Reserve Games and Strictly Limited Games are worse. At least First Press Games have exclusive physical games, some rated quite highly. SLG haven't delivered on games I can now buy at retail for less than half the price. SRG also released games that were not supposed to retail then did. They also sell supposedly limited release games on eBay at inflated prices. The whole limited release thing is full of bs. Don't get me started on Kickstarter stuff or Watermelon Games. It's also bs that the Ninja Turtle game is getting it's third physical release with more DLC.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't trust First Press Games. I, like MANY others, pre-ordered the physical copy of Chained Echoes nearly two full years ago and basically all the publisher did was silently delay the release several times to over a year after when it was originally scheduled to ship. Apparently there are other games that were up for preorder long before Chained Echoes that STILL have yet to release, and First Press makes it damn near impossible to contact them and get refunds for purchases. Apparently the preorders for Chained Echoes are INCREDIBLY close to shipping, or maybe having already shipped some copies on some platforms, but its still unacceptable that they are taking more preorders for more games when they can't even deliver what they've already promised they would for years.
cracks me up when ppl complain about "chained echoes" orders, I've been 4+ years and counting on "preparing for assembly" Neko Navy standard edition. Which their april 2022 email said Q3 would get it, lol. Literally the worst company doing low volume games out there. eff FirstPressGames 🖕
@NerdyShawn I'm well aware that people have been waiting even longer for certain games, which is why I made sure to include it in my comment. Chained Echoes' physical edition was just the first time I had ever heard of First Press, and I'm sure it was for a lot of others due to how (relatively) popular it was. That's probably why First Press has pretty much been forced to ACTUALLY RELEASE SOMETHING. In other words, no shade to any other games they've made preorders for, but Chained Echoes is probably the most "mainstream" title they are releasing a physical for. Hence why so many people are talking about that. But serious respect to those who have been waiting several years for their preorders of other games. Maybe a dumb question, but have you tried contacting your credit card company and filing a complaint? I'd imagine that if you pre-ordered something over 4 years ago and have yet to recieve the product, and First Press doesn't communicate and probably hasn't given you a refund, the credit card company would probably give you a refund themself.
@@MaI2Mei repeatedly emailed them and managed to get 2 generic copy pasted msg saying coming soon over 2 months. I initiated a chargeback via on my credit card and supplied the evidence of me trying to resolve with merchant and that purchase was not delivered. I also lodged ticket with EU consumer watchdogs, german consumer watchdogs and shopify.
First press games has my money for two preorders that date to yeeeeeears ago and I’ll likely never see the games (Crimzon Clover is the one that really hurts)
The Sonic Origins PLUS cover art is the Japanese variation based on the original Sonic 3 box art from Japan on the Mega Drive. There's also a European and North American variants as well.
4+ Years and counting for FPG that took money for NekoNavy, meanwhile ppl complaining about Chained echoes, lol. April 2022 email they said Neko Navy regular edition coming Q3 of 2022!!!! Whats the current "production status" ?! Here we are Q4 of 2024 ending and that same game is "Preparing for assembly" allegedly. screw those scammers and thank Jordan for spreading the good word of these turds.
Community spotlight related: Has anyone sent photos of Rogue Legacy 2 yet. Got notifications of Limited Run shipping these which doesn’t seem to actually be happening.
Fine by me, went and pick up all 3 Taito Milestones and the two NeoGeo Pocket collections, and Hot Blood, the possibly last lewd Switch game will we see from Funbox, although they told me that they have a few in the pipeline which they will send to Nintendo (I assume NoE) for evaluation end of january. Merry Christmas.
I was lucky that I got my money back from FPG for my Crimson Clover preorder years ago. I'll only buy it from them once it gets in stock but that's it.
How did you manage to get your money back from them? They do not respond to anything I asked them. And no one should ‘buy’ anything from them even if it’s supposedly in stock. They just did send me a Track & Trace code without actually shipping anything 🙃
I emailed First Press Games a couple of days ago venting my frustration about broken promises on ahipping timeframes for Chained Echoes on Switch. They replied saying the PS4 versions are being shipped now but for Switch pre orders 'It may take some time for the order to be processed'. So in other words, no timeframe and likely well into 2025.
First press games… still waiting on chained echoes just the physical game and my ultra collectors edition EX for crimzon clover… it’s been a couple years..
Nothing this week 'cause I have a chance to get some games I missed out on for Christmas. Nothing limited, just late discoveries. As for First Press, all the negative feedback about them has definitely kept me away. I'm more concerned with Strictly Limited right now because they're supposed to be making the physical for the new Korobo game from the makers of Chibi-Robo...and I backed the Kickstarter for the physical. Hoping they either come through or the developers switch to a more reliable company.
There are updates for games coming out of First Press. For example, they just sent out the Chained Echoes Ps4 copies. Time will tell if they actually did so.
I don't think you meant to be rude, but saying otome games as not "normal VNs" really hurts the people who play them. Female-oriented media is already looked down upon by society just because they are not aimed at men, aka the "normal" or "default" audience for video games. I know you are trying to reach a wider audience by releasing all sorts of videos, like the otome one, but your comments regarding them is giving the opposite effect. I still watch because I like to know about physical releases, but it would be great if you can be more careful with your word choice, as I understand this mindset is ingrained by society.

Screw 1st Press Games! I'm still waiting for Crimson Clover.

Limited Run and 1st Press Games this week. No thanks! Merry Christmas y'all!
As someone with an unfulfilled order in FPG since 2021, I couldn't agree more
Merry Christmas Jordan and to your family! Merry Christmas to everyone in the community!
I’m still waiting for my copy of Chained Echoes from 1st Press.
First press games is the worst. Still waiting for switch chained echoes and some others.
Likewise im waiting on my kickstarter retro Edition
FPG posted pictures of the cartridges for Chained Echoes. Its being assembled now and will be getting shipped and sold soon probably.

Same here. I ordered that like 2 years ago. Lol
I’m a big fucking nerd for those NeoGeo Collections

thats adorable 😆 try "Neko Navy" from FPG, 4+ years and counting. Eff those scammers and their lies.
Same here. The weird thing is that i already saw some people getting their copies on rediit
Same here too! Taking forever!
I’m still waiting on a preorder from first press over 2 years sgo
I'm 4 years, 1month, 10 days and counting for my preorder, so yeah it ain't happening.
@ ya I have given up hope
Merry Christmas 🎄
Happy holidays Jordan and thanks for all the videos! This message does not come from my wallet, my bank account, or any of my credit lines. 😂
You can't go wrong with Red Dwarf mentions. Merry Christmas everyone.
have good holidays bud. thank for the year!
Really wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday 🎄
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉
Man… I thought Commander Keen was getting a physical release in your thumbnail
Perfectly correct and important advice to not give any money to a certain company 👍
Hi Jordan, I just flipped the cover inside out. Also, it's the Japanese version of the Sonic games 🔵🔵🔵
9 years of shadows mixing saint seiya and sailor moon. Sold!
The Sonic Origins PLUS cover art is the Japanese variation based on the original Sonic 3 box art from Japan on the Mega Drive. There's also a European and North American variants as well.

How did I discredit them?
@@WorldBurningTime Its a certain genre in VN’s and not the standard. Hence ‘not normal’. Do you have long toes?
