Any latest news on the 'Mysterious Song' re-release??? I was hoping to be playing it around this time
Given the crazy shenanigans that occurred with the first pressing, I will be shocked if the second pressing goes smoothly.
Of course, I hope I am wrong.
I just placed my order after the holidays. I can't wait to finally play this.
But I need to ask, what happened with the first pressing?
Ha! What *didn't* happen.
You can find the old thread. The incompetence at the pressing plant was astounding. Pressing a mixed media (CD-ROM with data + Red Book) in a "nonstandard" (PC Engine) format shouldn't actually be too difficult, but the folks at the pressing plant have no skills, don't communicate well (even with each other, at the plant!), and fall back on a generic script/procedure even when they are SPECIFICALLY TOLD NOT TO DO SO.
Several different people handled the job, instead of one person who was intimate and familiar with the unique aspects of pressing a PC-Engine disc. Every time the "case worker" (ha!) changed, new problems ensued (imagine Old Rover and Keranu explaining the same thing over and over and over to different folks handling the job).
So many test pressings...botched by the plant due to their poor communication/directions between the "case worker" and the "dude in the plant who runs the software to make a test pressing" (I forget the fancy name for this disc).
It was absurd.
