One thing I hate about Nintendo.com is how they put 'announced' for UN-announced release dates. Why can't they just put TBD?

I really hope this was a slip, because I REALLY want to get this game without having to import! =D

IGN:
Electroplankton in the US on January 6, 2006. We've confirmed with Nintendo sources that this is indeed the current, official release date for the "game."

Good news, I wonder if they've made any changes to the game or if it's just been sitting in the warehouses for a hundred years.

Wouldn't be surprising if IGN goofed. Not that it really matters, being only 3 days apart and all. Unless 09 meant 2009.

Why is this a January release? It's still conisdered the holiday season, but it won't sell holiday volumes (either way). After intentionally delaying it this long, they might as well use it to fill a wider hole later.
[blinks] Huh? What the hell was that? ...This version better come in a nice, shiny box. If it doesn't I suggest importing a fancy version. The packaging is super-swanky.

No yeah, I was asking 2006/2009 not 6th or 9th - actually TMW only said January 09; didn't give a date.

It's almost definitely shipping on 1/9/2006. That's a Monday, which is when games typically are shipped. I don't think I've ever (in recent memory) seen a game ship on a Friday.

Because the game won't sell a crapload anyway... =P

Oh, awesome. I think someone already bought it for me, but that was during the hurricane and they haven't recovered it yet. Either way, I'm cool.

I'm glad this is being released in January. There are just way too many games this holiday.

Anybody know any Canadian sites that will be selling this? I can't seem to find it on amazon.ca or futureshop.ca (they usually have pre-order pages).
Title: RE: Electroplankton Coming Atcha!
Post by: Artimus on January 04, 2006, 10:14:52 AM
Futureshop has been a little slow with some releases, and didn't get others at all. I know for 100% that NOC announced online retailers would sell it, while NOA was just saying Nintendo.com would sell it. I'd imagine futureshop gets it within a week of release.

I don't know why exactly, But I went ahead and placed my order for this non-game.

This is one time I can't fault Nintendo for releasing something in January, there's just so many big DS games hitting the scene, there really was no other reasonable time for it. Plus... people who got DSes as a gift during the holidays might decide to pick this one up... it's such a weird title it's probably not the sort of thing one's liable to get for someone else anyhow.

I got mine preorder at amazon today so I cant wait to play this game.

Does anyone know of a place that's selling this game for either $30 or with free shipping? I'm having difficulty swallowing a $40+ price tag after tax and shipping.
Title: RE:Electroplankton Coming Atcha!
Post by: animecyberrat on January 06, 2006, 08:53:30 AM
Amazon has it 36.84 total cost free shipping

Post by: vudu on January 06, 2006, 09:11:51 AM
Thanks. That's the best price I've seen. Except mine is $37.18. Stupid higher Illinois taxes.

whats the official release? amazon said i wouldnt get the order until sometime in March, so i canceled my order (it was coupled with a book that is already available, so i dont think the book pushed back my ship date)
\EDIT: apparently this game is already on backorder from most of the retailers on Nintendo's site
