If you were planning on picking up Puyo Pop Fever at your local EB, you can forget it. Because EB won't be carrying the game at all for some unknown reason.

[Verified through corporate email]

Pick it up elsewhere. :\

What the hell?

What the hell?

That's exactly what I said when I found out. :\

Not to be facetious but isn't that last bit slightly redundant if EB aren't stocking it?

NOT ENOUGH BOOBS

NOT ENOUGH DEATH

GO BACK 2 /l

This happens sometimes - Ecks vs. Sever (GBA) and EndGame (PS2) come to mind.

Hello Gamestop! Can anyone confirm japanese audio track? >_>

Lol, Sega are struggling so much they can't publish their own titles. THQ for GBA, Take-Two for ESPN, MS for Outrun 2 and when they do it themselves this happens

EB has been sucking lately as far as games like this go. No Ribbit King GC, no Pool Paradise, no Castle Shikigami 2 listed as coming out... I'm worried they won't be carrying Katamari either. EB is my favorite game store but this shit pisses me off.

"Do you have a copy of Puyo Pop Fever?"
"Sorry, we don't feel like stocking that game, we doubt it'll be worth the shelf space."
"Damn. Well, how about a copy of Fugitive Hunter?"
"Over there. Two copies for a buck."

Muwhahahaha
Its true!

 

[neptunes]

what if they'll have the same stance for other console versions.

We won't really know, seeing as we're only getting the GC version here in North America.

LOL! they have Puyo Pop Fever for the PSP,

PSP games are 50 bucks?

 

[BobbyRobby]

Gamestop didn't carry Bomberman Jetters. That sucked.

 

[neptunes]

what the hell why would they cancel the ds version yet have it available for pre-oder for the psp?

that's stupid

EB does this a lot, specifically with GameCube games.

Space Raiders? No. That Majesco game Blowout? No. Ribbit King? No.

We got the latter pair in for PS2 and Xbox (in the case of Blowout), but not the GameCube. It happens all the time.

 

[DDayton]

Both EB and Gamestop stink when it comes to obscure budget GC releases... they either never get it in, or they get it in 3 months after the release.

Oddly enough, Fry's ALWAYS gets those titles in, and Toys R Us tends to get them in a week after the shipping date.

EB carried Space Raiders, but not a whole lot......and I can understand why. Space Raiders was utter shit from what I played (despite its budget price tag). Why Taito developed this worthless game and wasted resources is beyond me.

I remember when I bought video games from actual stores.

Those were good times.
