Ni no Kuni

[LUKIE]

Why am I having to start the threads for all the good games?

Why are you guys not playing the good games?

EWB

[King Ellis]

Because some Canadian stole all the copies to sell on eBay.

[TKz]

Way to remind me of the fact I don't have the money for this game, Lukie. Jerk move.

[LUKIE]

I just pre-ordered it. There was one copy left at my local JB HIFI. The guy told me that nearly all the wizard copies meant for Australia aren't coming.

This!

[TKz]

I can maybe get it if I trade in some games! I'm hoping this is one of those things where most people don't know about it so I won't need to pre-order.

[LUKIE]

If it is anything like Australia then you will have to pre-order it.

[TKz]

I dunno. Haven't seen much advertisement for it. I kind of feel like it's probably going to slip under the radar over here, at least at first. I hope so anyway. I didn't need to pre-order either of the last Final Fantasy games, I can't imagine I'll need to for this.

TKz's future:

"Hi, I'd like a copy of Ni no Kuni please."
"..."
"..."
"Can you repeat that?"
"Ni no Kuni."
"Never heard of it. Hang on a second, Dave? Have you ever heard of Nee Nor Kuni? Oh, we only have one copy and someone pre-ordered that. We can put it on hold I suppose in case they don't pick it up..."

[LUKIE]

I thought the same thing. Then I found it was selling out all around the country so went in and pre-ordered.

I got way to many games to play, i can´t spend 60 on this... just can´t. Sorry gameing god. Well meet again later this year Ni No Kuni!

[Skummy]

My girlfriend pre-ordered the special edition at HMV. HMV were told to stop taking pre-orders shortly afterwards, as they had reached their allocation. Nearly two months later, HMV went into administration, and have barely been receiving any new stock.

So we're not sure if she's going to get it or not. If she doesn't, I pity the poor sod on the phone at Deloittes.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Second Country eh? All my Japanese skills have certainly helped me it would seem.

[Skummy]

Incidentally, when I was a kid, Ni no Kuni is exactly how I imagined video games would look in the future. I never once wanted photo-realism, and realistic physics or anything else that too many developers strive for at the expense of fun - I wanted it to look, and feel, like I was playing a beautifully drawn cartoon.

Im hoping Asda/Tesco have this first thing Friday morning. Ive got the day off and it would be perfect. I nearly buckled and preordered from Amazon. They saved me the agonizing wait for the postman though by being out of stock for the immediate future.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! It's a little bit kiddie, but so good. It's super fun FF style.

Also, the guy says friggen all the time! FRIGGEN!

[jrhodes]

I've got this on pre-order. ShopTo normally gets games to you a day early and the mail hasn't been yet so I could have it any minute.

Edit: The day is mine!

[Clawson]

Beat it.

[LUKIE]

That was awfully quick.

[Benji]

So, I got paid today and it's out. Worth picking up, or should I wait until it drops in price?
