Saw it at Toys R Us. I think this is like, the rare or something, it's not even listed on any of the retailers' online searches. Was very surprised to see it in the store well before the 21 March street date too, was in the store on Friday night.

It must be a secret because I have no idea what you are talking about.

So far it looks that way. I think when they don't expect high sales numbers, they do this kind of 'exclusive only at this retailer' thang.

Sega did this with Sonic Pinball Party too, it was available only at Target and Toys R Us, and I can totally understand why, I mean, pinball, it's the nichest of niche arcade games, 'sport' if you want to call it that since there are World Championships for the art of pinball. The average gamer don't even care if a Pinball game has faithful physics, they just have it on their computer as an accessory to kill time when they're bored.

Sorry, that I don't know, I'm assuming the standard $30, when I was there the price tag was not on it, my Toys R Us is so ghetto, and the clerk behind the desk was kind of unpleasant so I didn't pick it up yet, gonna go back sometime next week.

Are we talking about Sonic Spinball here? Because that game was t e r r i b l e.

Odama isn't even pinball. It's a hybrid. Not a fair comparison, just like you wouldn't consider Grand Theft Auto 3 as a faithful simulation of vehicle behaviors.
