there is no way i would change my mind about this. the wii is the best console and i want all the best games for it. i always buy my wii games new on purpose so i can give the money to the developer. in fact, when i used to work at gamestop i used to try to get the customers to buy all the wii games new and all the 360/ps3 games used. i was pretty good at it.
if they brought up a newly released used wii game i would just say, 'well for five dollars more you can get a new copy, want to just do that?' similarly if they brought up a new copy of a newly released 360/ps3 game, i would just tell them, 'well for five dollars less, you could just get a used copy and you even have a seven day warranty if you dont like it.'
it was awesome. so yes, you dont have to worry about me, my money is going to nintendo on this one.

What a fulfilling life that must be.
As for topic, game is getting a limited release through a single retailer, of course pre-orders will be good, most of them will be for ebay.

yeah, been a while since I've seen him post about doing this stuff, saddest bit of fandom I've ever heard of. Developers don't deserve money just because they develop on a Nintendo platform. Doing his best to screw over any company that develops on a console he doesn't like, kind of thing that makes him the worst kind of fan, one that's not only a boon to the company he loves, but destructive to those he doesn't.

well excuse me for trying to utilize the tiniest bit of influence i have over the industry.
look, torillian, your set of values is a little different than mine, but that doesn't mean yours is right. microsoft and sony are nothing but LEECHES on this industry. they in no way care about the consumer as evidenced by their support of things like online pass and now locking out single player content for people who buy the game used is an ALL TIME LOW.
so, yes, i am going to try to screw these developers out of every new sale that i can. its the right thing to do.
