Usually there are hordes of new games on eBay. As of now, theres less than 10 listings...maybe 5 for this game.

Funny how they started that campaign four months before they reviewed it.

Casamassina is such a fucking fanboy. He has no objectivity at all.

The game references old school Capcom games in happy intervals. i almost cried when i was ringing the bell to the old Ghosts and Goblins music. It's making me gay again. ;_; I'm just waiting for Tron. I'm waiting.

And the puzzles. They're tight. Yes, Dyne, like a vagina. or a boo hole.

I would have this already if I could find a copy.

I'm pretty sure this is floating around at work.

Hurray.

Shin wasn't kidding, this game was nearly impossible to find. I managed to find a copy after calling and visiting 8 or so stores. I ended up having to get the last new (and gutted) copy at a GameStop somewhere out of the way.

Can't wait to get it home after work. Maybe it's an isolated case here in NY, but I would go with an online purchase for this one.

No it would seem most stores are only getting 2 - 3 copies of the game if any. I don't know if stores just didn't order any or if Capcom way undershipped this. I also don't think it's just a NY thing I couldn't find a copy in Jersey, and got mine in the city. Plus if you read the thread on NeoGaf everyone is complaining about having a hard time finding the game.

Phoenix Wright was hard to find at launch too. Now it's nearly as common as Madden.

That's because Capcom did a couple reprints of Phoenix Wright. Which, yes, I think is safe to assume will be the case here as well if there's significant demand and no copies available.

Exactly. Capcom's not in the business of creating fortunes for ebay sellers. If they can sell them, they will print them.
