Is it really two days later on the 16th like Futureshop says?
This would upset me a great deal. Anybody in retail know for sure?

exactly, you don't know what some people in Canada might do if they don't get their Mario Kart on time.SS4Gogita said:

Are those figures in US dollars or Canadian? Because if they're Canadian, wouldn't that be one hell of a deal on Amazon?

Canada is full to the brim with Nintendo fans. Dunno why, but Nintendo is and has always been "cool" here.
If we have to wait even 2 days to pwn you American bitches online, there'll be hell to pay.
That, and I'll cry.
EDIT: That amazon deal is great. Doesn't Futureshop have a price matching policy?

which is not a big deal if you've got other things to play. amazon.ca's been very good to me. Me and a friend ordered our mariokart DS copies together in order to get free shipping, try doing that (it ends up being 70$ for 2 copies).
EDIT: I've tried price matching at best buy by showing amazon.ca, they said they'll price match and add the cost of shipping (around 5$, so it would have been 40$ and not 35$), so I was like "well fuck you too"

I read and understood the domain, thanks for making an assumption. That means the game only costs ~$29.50 (USD) in Canada? Good deal if you ask me.Date of Lies said:

yes, but aren't new released ds games already $30 USD in the states?
I was looking through the Child's Play Amazon.ca page for Toronto's Sick Kids' Hospital when I noticed Mario Kart DS is no longer listed for $35 CAD, it's up to $50 CAD. Looks like I'm not picking it up any time soon.

...sons of bitches. You have to be kidding me. How in the hell is Nintendogs still at $35 then?
I am definitely not happy about this. Especially because it now means that there won't be a single saving grace, price-wise. All we can hope for is a good Wal-Mart price, really.
Also of note: Those should be $44.99 at the very most...how the hell they get $50 I don't know. This is sheer madness.
Well, here's a page for Mario Kart DS for $38.78 to be released November 19th.
I don't get that price either, but it is just under the $39 free shipping mark, those bastards.

WTF?!?! Haven't my fellow Canadians learned anything yet?!?!
VideoGamesPlus.ca is your friend. They will have the game on the 14th!
As far as Best Buy, Future Shop, Walmart, and Zellers are concerned, yes it will be in stock on the 16th.
EB will likely get the game in on the afternoon of the 15th, but my local EB always adds an additional $5 to the price for that day or two early release.
Oh, and the price is $49.99. I think, though, that Walmart might sell it for $43.83 like Metroid Pinball, or $48.83 like Kirby. But you have to ask yourself if that little amount is worth waiting an extra day for Mario Kart!!

And I refused to pay that much for any of them. I got AW: DS for $40 CAD, Kirby for $11.50 CAD (price matched against TRU), and if I wanted Metroid Prime Pinball I'd get it this week at TRU for $35 CAD. I refuse to pay more than $40 CAD for any GBA/DS game.Spike said:

amazon is known to keep the price low for a period of time before the game's release and then boosting it up when the release approaches, you should have hurried up 
for instance, Animal Crossing DS and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time are still 34.99 each, so I guess if those games and prices interest you, you should order them atleast around 3 weeks before their release.

I can confirm you that I have the game and just kicked a NOA Greg/Jerg/whatever guy online. Take that sucker 
I was surprised to receive a call this morning from my local EB to notify me about MK
S. For once, we get a game on time, even earlier than most people!

S. For once, we get a game on time, even earlier than most people!I called the local Best Buys and Future Shops and they didn't have them in so I don't mind paying $1.50 CAD more to play it today. Sadly, I don't have wifi yet so I'll have to wait to play online.koam said:
EDIT: The guy at TRU was surprised that it came in today because he's been telling people it wouldn't be in until tomorrow or Wednesday.

Dawson College, actually.
If you're having trouble locating it, just follow the purple haze.

hmmm.. weird, I'm getting
"This item is not carried at this location."
as opposed to
"This item is carried at this location but is currently out of stock."
EDIT: Oh... I thought you meant the Forum one. You're right, the Centreville one has it.
Still weirded out by the "This item is not carried at this location." though
