Here's another problem I love SE... more than most people. But, Now I know Dragon Quest 5 DS remake was released a while ago. But it is hard to find. And I didn't have a DS when it came out (New, I prefer it this way unless its ancient)
Now SE online game shop has most games, hell it has the older TWEWY (Which is awesome, and technically not older than the actual DQ5 but you understand)... but I went to the site and went to order it.
And it is out of stock D:.
Now I mean it most likely sold all it could, but gah! irritating im just irritated XD

It might have somthing to do with the fact that TWEWY actually met sales expectations.

TWEWY underperformed in Japan actually. It did better than expected in America though, but bombed hard in Europe.
And funny enough, this situation with DQVIII vs the DS DQIV/V remakes is almost the opposite of what happened with Enix USA's previous DQ push... in the west, the GBC ports of DWI&II/III sold surprisingly well while the more high profile DWVII underperformed on PS1 pretty badly

From what I understand, the game sold poorly in Japan but did pretty well in NA. The game bombing in Europe is not a shocker considering how unpopular JRPGs are there.
