The rumor is being talked about on several Japanese websites. NeoGAF also has a thread discussing the rumor.

Lol. The rumor is from 2ch. You know how reliable they can be.

Yeah, they sure punish them. Next time you'll see Miyamoto he'll be holding a whip instead of a Wiimote...

Get over yourself dude...

That Mario Galaxy obsession is dangerous. Seek professional help. If John Lennon was alive, he could tell us how dangerous (and pathetic) obsessive individuals are.

Well many retailers I checked out usually had SMG at ~%10 off the MSRP (¥5,800). The store I was going to buy it at was selling it for ¥4,980, which is about %14 off the MSRP. It's very easy to find SMG (and most other games too) at just a bit below MSRP. I don't see what Nintendo would do, nor why...

I'm just reporting a rumor, the game the rumor is about is irrelevant.  Oh and G* F*** Y*******.



Why is this even being discussed? Nintendo doesn't give a crap what retailers sell the game for. They are paying Nintendo a pre-set price as it is. It's not like this costs Nintendo any money at all. What a pointless rumor.

 Oh and I forgot to say that many of these stores aren't just small "game" only stores. Many are huge Nationwide Electronic Stores all across Japan (like the Best Buy/Circuit City chains back in the US). It seems very unlikely that Nintendo would do anything about this.
