any Gamescom rumours of promo vinyl being available there this year?

There are a number of retailers that sell frames especially made for that purpose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBpmi1nl284
My Wizorb arrived yesterday and was in good condition, thankfully. Must be something specific to that release.
Was there something in previous years?
There was an Endless Space 2 LP last year.

Are there any that would let me display the marbled vinyls alongside the cover? Really love the look of them, so being able to show off the full set would be amazing.
There are a lot of options on Amazon, i.e.:
This, this, and pretty much everything that comes up for this search.

i display my Laserdisc movies like this, just get a little bigger frame, put a piece of cardboard under the cover art to press it against the glass, holds it right there without any glue etc.

Yeah, it came with a 12" litho

So Moonshake Metroid is a bust right? Avoid?
Avoid anything by Moonshake. The quality is iffy at best and it's basically a pirated soundtrack pressed onto vinyl.
Data Discs teasing DATA013 and DATA014 on their twitter with pictures of test pressings. No hints, but anything from them gets me excited. I would assume one of them is Streets of Rage 3.
Still waiting on my copy. Only have one Moonshake: Dr Mario, and I thought it sounded fine.

so, my No Man's Sky record came today from amazon, I am actually surpriced at how well they packed this vinyl.
not only it came in a protective cardboard sleeve (similar to the book ones), but also all of that came in a big box with air bags to protect it.
of course, the record came intact, as if it was just taken out from the factory.

Mine sounds totally fine.

Surprise! ia8bit should roll that into their marketing.
I personally would say the quality is great on all the releases I personally own : Castlevania, Dr Mario, Pokemon, DKC, and Metroid.
His Castlevania is also superior to the official release IMO. Not going to argue the ethics... That's a different conversation, but the quality from my experience is solid.

...no, but ill take it! gorgeous game. thanks man, should finally get my order in next paycheck.
Do it, Irish. It's one of my most played soundtracks (Along with Snatcher): it sounds phenomenal on vinyl, and the music is so, so good. The whole package looks amazing, especially the foil cover.

YES, nothing can beat Flight (synthesizer version) played on vinyl. Or the orchestra version for that matter....

The Metroid bootleg is really put together well, for whatever it's worth; barring an official release with artist involvement and meticulously sourced from hardware, this makes me happy.
The secret track on Side C is choice.
Side D (NES) is really solid too. Wish my side A wasn't so crackly but aside from that, it's pretty cool minus being, uh, a bootleg.
Hoping the Spacelab tweet wasn't nothing and Nintendo gets on board with this.

It's probably happening. The Mother 1 & 2 releases are officially licensed (both with Nintendo, and with Sony, the original label of the CD releases), and the Super Mario 7" from the 80's (not the recent bootleg repress) is also official. Nintendo isn't a stranger to vinyl.

None of those have room to display both vinyls, unfortunately.
i display my Laserdisc movies like this, just get a little bigger frame, put a piece of cardboard under the cover art to press it against the glass, holds it right there without any glue etc.
Would that kind of solution be safe to display the cover art and the 2 vinyls? Is it safe to have the disc/vinyl pressed against the glass/plexi like that?
Yes. The glass won't scratch the discs in any way granted you don't pour sand between the record and the glass. Just keep it out from direct sunlight.
If you ever decide to listen to it, don't hesitate to ask tips for a cost-effective starter setup here.

So just to be 100% sure... I don't need to buy any specific materials other than a frame that fits it how I want to display it and some cardboard? The vinyls won't slip around either?
Assuming I ever get the pocket money for stuff outside of gaming/etc, it would be cool to know what I should look at, so sure, that would be appreciated. What turntable/setup should I be looking at, assuming value & quality are first & foremost?
Soul Blazer trilogy?

Any guesses?
Only that it'll be another meat grinder if you want to nab a signed copy.

This one. Not their most exciting litho/print imo.
I just finished up putting this and 5 others in some half decent frames (haven't hung them yet).
Get a good 12x12 for them, and enjoy. Revenge of Shinobi looks particularly good.
Yes, but depends on the frame of course. Make sure the space between the backboard and the glass can be secured tightly, then you don't have to worry about it at all. tl;dr Don't buy the shittiest frame.
Plenty of options there, but for example a set with Audio Technical AT-LP120 with built-in pre-amp and a pair of cheap active speakers (maybe even pre-owned) could be purchased for maybe $400-500 and could provide a relatively uncompromising solution for your needs. To be honest I have no idea how much stuff actually costs in the US (in case that's where you reside). If you already have active speakers or passive speakers + amp, then you could just get the $300 turntable with built in pre-amp or get perhaps a bit better turntable pre-owned and buy a separate pre-amp.
But just make sure you don't get anything with built-in speakers, anything that doesn't have a counter-weight, or anything that doesn't support changing the cartridge. Those are all signs of bad quality, which can damage your records in the long run. Do research and embrace the insanity.
Maaaaan that'd be cool (though I couldn't tell you which three games form that trilogy... both ActRaisers and Soul Blazer, or one ActRaiser, Soul Blazer, and Terranigma?)

The Sunsoft NES/Famicom Collection, finally.Any guesses?
I was pretty sure it's Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma
Don't toy with my heart.

NO ACTRAISER NO SALE

Oh cheese and crackers that would be aaamazing

I think this will happen, to some degree. Naoki Kodaka's work is legendary to any NES/Famicom fan worth their salt. I would guess it's on Ship To Shore and/or Brave Wave's radars.
I am curious, though, as to how one would approach the licensed stuff. Assuming a worst case scenario, could somebody release the Batman soundtrack as part of a Sunsoft compilation and just refer to it as "Comic Book Game" or something?

Lol calm down. Actraiser is not part of the trilogy and should be its own collection along with the sequel.
Why do y'all keep lumping them together? They aren't similar games.
