Data Discs just tweeted:
I think the wait is almost over!
004 is showing up on their site as coming soon now too. They only had 003 there last time I checked.
Not much gets posted in this thread that is easy for me to pass on...
Shinobi III and ???
Is Shinboi III confirmed?
Yes. Accidentally got confirmed in an article they took part in a while back. They said it was one of the three coming soon.
REZ deserves a vinyl release.
I saw that earlier and, man... I'm a huge Batman fan but am just not sure I want to get that. I want to keep my vinyl collection pretty small, mostly game scores with a few movie ones, and need to draw the line somewhere. It does have some of the best episodes though...
I was once the same way. I can't even see the line anymore. It's quite liberatingand expensive

If there latest tweet is any hint, one of the next releases is Outrun.
What's the difference? Cheaper shipping through Mondo?I'm gonna wait for the Mondo imports for the Data DIscs, but I'm so excited to see what's coming along with Shinobi III.

Though they didn't offer the LE color variations, right? I think I'll stick with DD if that continues to be the case.For US customers, yes. Mondo ships from the States while Data Discs ships from the UK.
Not a video game, but sweet baby Jesus:
From Mondo. Wonder how much it's going to cost.

Thank you kindly; you are a true asset to this thread.Yup. LE variations are only available through DD themselves.

DATA003: SHINOBI III
Continuing our exclusive partnership with SEGA, we are delighted to announce our vinyl release of ‘Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master’ (or ‘The Super Shinobi II’, as it is known in Japan). With music composed by Hirofumi Murasaki, Morihiko Akiyama and Masayuki Nagao, ‘Shinobi III’ is a relentless bass-driven soundtrack which, upon its release in 1993, pushed the Mega Drive’s audio capabilities to its limit. Its strong percussive elements are something of a technical marvel and, like all of the greatest soundtracks of the 16bit era, showcases the ingenuity and resolve of game composers when faced with extremely limited hardware.
With audio sourced directly from a Japanese Model 1 Mega Drive (AV Intelligent Terminal, VA5 with stereo output mod) and painstakingly remastered for vinyl, ‘Shinobi III’ should appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in video game culture, FM synthesis or electronic music in general.
180g vinyl packaged in a 400gsm matt finish sleeve with traditional OBI strip. All copies also include a foldout poster featuring the original Japanese artwork, sourced from the SEGA archives.
Available in the following editions, each priced at £19.99:
180g oxblood and bone split coloured vinyl (limited edition and exclusive to the Data Discs website, while stocks last)
180g oxblood coloured vinyl
180g classic black virgin vinyl
Copies will be available from Friday 2nd October on www.data-discs.com and www.mondotees.com.
PLEASE NOTE: Copies ordered directly from us will begin shipping approximately one week after they go on sale, with Mondo copies following soonafter.
DATA004: SUPER HANG-ON
Using audio sourced directly from the 1987 arcade machine sound board, we are proud to present the first ever vinyl pressing of SEGA and Yu Suzuki’s classic driving game, ‘Super Hang-On’. Featuring music by Koichi Namiki, Katsuhiro Hayashi and Shigeru Ohwada, ‘Super Hang-On’ was one of the defining arcade games of the 1980s and had a soundtrack to match. With audio carefully extracted, restored and remastered specifically for vinyl, this classic soundtrack is sounding better than ever.
Housed in a meticulously designed custom die-cut sleeve, on 400gsm matt finish cardstock, with 300gsm printed inner sleeve and a traditional OBI strip. 180g vinyl cut at 45rpm for maximum driving power!
Available in the following editions, each priced at £19.99:
180g opaque tri-colour segment vinyl (limited edition and available exclusively from the Data Discs website, while stocks last)
180g classic black virgin vinyl
Pre-orders for this release will open in early-November, with copies expected to ship in December.
FURTHER AHEAD
We are also very excited to announce two more titles which, amongst many others, will feature in our 2016 line-up. First of all, we’ll be continuing our partnership with SEGA for a true arcade classic, OUT RUN, again sourcing the audio direct from the original arcade machine. We will also be collaborating again with Yuzo Koshiro on one of the greatest and most influential game soundtracks of all time: STREETS OF RAGE 2.
Finally, we just want to say huge thanks to everyone who’s purchased either ‘Streets of Rage’ and/or ‘Shenmue’ since May. They have been a great success and will be repressed later in the year for those who missed out (note: this applies to the translucent colour editions only). We’re looking forward to sharing many more exciting titles in the future, so we hope you stick with us!
This is awesome!
Also, am I the only one reading it as if Shinobi III will be ready to ship upon ordering?
Yep, seems like it!
Welp I guess it's time to start collecting vinyl.
No nostalgia for those releases so I'll probably (lol) be skipping, but bring on SoR2.
You have no idea of what you're getting yourself into
I'm not going to lie, the whole numbering each release is fucking genius on their part. There is not a chance I don't buy every single thing they put out because of it. Can't have any holes in my collection!
Truth.
Such a good marking tactic, lol.
It really is. I pick and choose what I want from iam8bit. DatsDiscs has me with the numbering.
I've been good, only got SoR so far, but I was a Nintendo kid. What's tempting me with the next batch is Shinobi, but that's recent for me (3D Classics, only played it with friends as a kid as I only owned a SNES during that era). SoR2 is a must. I guess I'm OK with the gaps for now but I hear you! That type of stuff usually works on me 100%.I'm not going to lie, the whole numbering each release is fucking genius on their part. There is not a chance I don't buy every single thing they put out because of it. Can't have any holes in my collection!
If Bravewave numbers their generation series, I'm totally fucked.
Welp I guess it's time to start collecting vinyl.
