Looking forward to Wonder Boy and Ys. I'm definitely getting Plague Road this week, but I'm on the fence for Oceanhorn.
I supported the Kickstarter for Plague Road, so I'll wind up with a physical copy and already had a voucher code from them. I think the artwork is beautiful in game, but the gameplay itself isn't my cup of tea. I haveheard Oceanhorn is pretty much a rip of the Zelda series, but it looks like it's much more up my alley game wise.

I sort of wish I had backed that Kickstarter, but at this point I very rarely back any type of game anymore.
Skipped this week. Aside from Wonderboy, Night Trap and Ys Origins there isn't much on the horizon I'm interested in. Do any of these have release dates yet?
there is currently 4 positive reviews and 10 negative reviews. Visuals look great, but seems like it was rushed/unfinished and did not meet it's potential as far as I can tell. Anyone play it and want to chime in?

Like I mentioned before, I wasn't a fan of the gameplay. It had a cool concept where you use the survivors you find as ways to level up. But the tactics style gameplay was pretty lackluster and generic.
Got Vita copies of Oceanhorn and Plague Road. Oceanhorn looks like a nice Zelda clone which I'm way ok with. Plague Road looks interesting but I'll be cautiously optimisitc about playing that one, most reviews for that game seem tepid
I got oceanhorn too (already signed up for plague road via kickstarter). I rememberer playing oceanhorn on iOS but never finishing it. It was pretty fun back then and imagine it'll be better on Vita.
Boo, I didn't get Oceanhorn. I was trying to get everything, but they loaded Plague Road way too late and everything sold out. I have a lower chance of getting Oceanhorn 2nd time around because the batches are smaller. But that sucks. I didn't want to pay double for shipping and handling. If I order Oceanhorn, I'm going to get my shipping combined.

From what I have seen, the second batches take longer to sell out even though they are smaller.
So I would say you have good chances of getting them when the second batch goes live.
As for the double shipping, if you buy one game on the first batch and another on the second batch you can ask them to combine the shipping and they will reimburse you one of the shippings that you payed.
I am really tempted to pick up Oceanhorn this evening, but it looks like it would be perfect for the switch. It is hard to decide between the preferred console or getting a physical release.
Yeah! Oceanhorn for Vita was sold out in seconds and thats BULLSHIT! I was there just in time and got it a cart, but when i tried to pay for it it it was sold out. Bullshit I say!
I thought the first run was the easier one because people might sleep in (since it's 7 am on the West Coast), thus more likely to get it...the later run seems like it would sell out way to quick...case in point, LifeGame said it sold out in two minutes.
Shame that since I like my sleep and hate having to stay up till 7 am...but unless they change something drastic in the way they sell games...I'll have to put up with it. Not looking forward to the two upcoming limited editions...everyone is going to go crazy after them.
Passed on LawBreakers. Gameplay didn't look bad by any means, but I already have enough multiplayer shooters (Titanfall, Overwatch, Battlefront 2 coming in the fall) that I would never play it. Also because it is online multiplayer only, I don't think there would really be much demand for the game once the servers go down so it doesn't make sense to get it from a collector's standpoint unless you're going for a complete LRG set. The boxset did look neat though.

Wonder boy also has a release date now. Ys and wb should be popular titles and may be hard to get.
What's the release date for Wonder Boy? I couldn't find it on their twitter or site.

August 4th.
It looks like it will have a larger production run than most of their other games (5,000 regular and 3,000 limited editions).

My thoughts exactly
Looks cool... but... On steam

Hope it plays as well as it looks!
Plague Road looks pretty horrible honestly. I'm surprised it is already almost sold out.

Sad that I'll be missing out on Night Trap.
Edit - non limited edition, no room fo rthat big box.
