Why Is The DS Chibi Robo a Wal-Mart Exclusive???

[racketboy]

I actually saw the exclusive tag while shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and thought maybe it was like a "special" version of the game that was exclusive. But I guess the entire game is exclusive to Wal-Mart. Bizarre.

Nintendo's excuses seem pretty lame:

How often does this happen in the USA?

Just curious since it doesnt happen often here in the UK. Although I think that may change.

A game being a store exclusive? I can't think of any others...
There are special colors of DS's, games with little bonuses, and stuff like that, but not an entire game exclusive....

I take that back.... for a little while, Sonic Pinball Party on the GBA was a Target exclusive, but was later released in a combo pack with Sonic Advance in other stores.

Tenchu: Dark Secret and The Settlers - DS were both Gamestop/EB exclusives.

Never even heard of The Settlers and didn't Tenchu suck on the DS??

I've read it only happens when the game is garbage. Surprised to see this with a first party game.

Yeah I heard that this is meant to be a decent game as well.
