Forums - Gaming - I can't find Zack & Wiki!

This is what I was afraid of. Nintendo and 3rd parties have become so complacent that they don't advertise or push retailers for promotion. I looked in all the sunday flyers no Zack and Wiki. Some didn't even have any Wii anything on the game page. Games like Calaxy will sell themselves but Wii software is not going to move this way. I have had problems like this a bunch of times when I want a smaller profile title.



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

Well I hadn't even tried to pick it up yesterday since no store around me gets non-Halo/Madden games on time for some reason (not even MP3 or Zelda). Well, according to Gamestop as of last night no Gamestop in Ohio had Z&W. There are apparently people who are playing it though so I can't imagine every shipment was delayed.

Naz, I'm not sure if you were a PW fan then but do you recall what difficulty it was getting the first US Phoenix Wright? It took me a couple months to get it since shipments were constantly delayed or they were smaller than expected and sold out immediately. Maybe Capcom is like this with all its niche titles (regardless how big that niche is). Anyways, I'm going to try for it after class in a couple hours.



I'm having the same problem here in Canada, most stores don't list it and the ones who do (Future Shop) don't have any copies yet, that's messed up (and not to mention very frustrating)!



Signature goes here!

Can't find it in my area either. This is going to impact sales. I don't want to buy it online, but if it doesn't come into one of the stores within the next couple of days, I guess I'm going to have to.



probably the only place I'm going to find it someday is in torrents (no VG market in Brasil)...

But don't worry, shops didn't know that it would be a success in the reviews like they knew about Halo3, so It is a good reason why they didn't bought loads of copies... just wait until they see that it is selling well...

I sure hope this isn't a hassle to find. I live near about 10 big game stores, all in the same area, I've not had much trouble finding a game ever so I'm not too worried.



You got it on eBay naznatips? Isn't that going to take longer than waiting til later today or tomorrow?



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Not when none of my stores even have a shipment scheduled...

The Gamestops in Ohio tend to get their shipments on Wensdays.  Or atleast that's when the ones around here do.



I plan on buying the game after work today...so in about 7 hours I'll let you know if I could find it or not.
