I checked for it after work but walmart didn't have it yet. Guess I'll have to check toysRus or something.

Bodhesatva, if you happen to look into this thread, I was wondering if you can tell us if Toys R Us ordered a lot of copies or that they hardly stock this game as well.
The game is on backorder at the Capcom online store.
I went on the hunt for Z&W & MMR last night, called every Gamestop in my area (over 20 of them). They all had recieved between !2? and 5 copies of Z&W, most were sold out. All of the stores reasonably close to me were out. None of them even have Mercury Meltdown Revolution on order, or even knew it was a Wii title or that it was out, or that it was a $20 title with a 76 combined Metacritic score. I will probably drive across town and pick up Z&W today. How lame GS only got 2-5 copies each.... Now if it was a first person shooter............
This seems to be a problem for Gamestops, I had to order The DS NY Times Crossword game from Amazon (i know, i know, but don't knock it unless you've tried it. The first really great poratble crossword game imho). No Gamestop in my area got it or even knew it was out. I'll be doing that for MMR Wii today as well.
In GS I found my MLB Power Pros Baseball on the bottom shelf with only the spine showing. Is it any wonder there were only 8000 of this sold in 3 weeks? (And this is a REALLY GREAT BB game btw, though the graphics are meh, and it's not really a title focused on NA).
Oh well, If GS doesn't have Z&W today, I'll have to try Target and Walmart :(
I miss Rhino.
Hopefully its just an initial stock problem and within the week Z&W will be in all stores.

I got mine at Gamestop, first one I went to. Also they had Mecury Meltdown in stock.
If people are having trouble finding Zack and Wiki, look on Amazon. You'll have to wait a few days but we've already been waiting for months.

Plus, it would be awesome to see Zack and Wiki in the top sellers.
Got me some Zack and Wiki from EBGames, finally. Last one they had. Retail caught flat-footed indeed. Even if this wasn't a buzz-title, the good reviews it is getting assure that it will sell at least decently well.
Note to retailers...read teh intranets sometimes....you might be surprised at what you find.
my area, the gamestops got 1-5 copies, i got the last one in the store i got it at,
clerks had NO CLUE what it was about.
i was like it is a point and click puzzle game using the wiimote as the controller and that it was getting awesome reviews, the clerk responded, i never visit online gaming sites, they all suck, i subscribe to gaming magazines..i was dumbfounded and went, gaming mags are ATLEAST 2 months out of date on information, he looked at me blankly, i went, you know monster hunter 3 is coming out? he goes,,yes for the playstation 3, i smiled widely, and said...your information is out of date.
Twestern, my pre-ordered copy STILL hasn't shipped from Amazon. I don't understand what Capcom is doing. Are they trying to sabotage their own product or something? Hello Capcom, there is this company called FedEx, USE IT!
