NG:Dev.Team’s latest Sh’mup has finally hit retailers today. What’s this you tell me? The game came out on February 17th 2013. Why are we reporting the game just came out today? Well, the game just hit retailers today. We are reporting that Play-Asia now has it in stock for 44.95$ and 69.95$ respectively for Regular and Limited Edition, both versions will ship for free.
NG:Dev.Team also hit a little snag with the Collector and Limited Edition pre-orders as the pressing facility pressed a hundred units less. The Regular Edition of the game sold out fairly quickly at NG Dev Direct hence we thought it best to wait till retailer had it in stock and won’t have it again in stock until March.
If you have been completely out of the news are out of the loop here is the trailer of the game:

Note: The whole thing about Last Hope being the best Indie title is probably restricted to 2008, a year in which it was the only title released. Overall it is impossible to assert which is the best indie game because most publishers don’t release sales figures.
