Nintendo: Xenoblade ONLY available through Preorder

Post by JC48573 »

This means that they will only prepare one run and nothing afterwards. If only 1,000 people preordered the game, only 1,000 will be made. Just imagine how much they will go for at ebay....yup, if you don't want to ever face that nightmare, then you better preorder. Yea, Nintendo is being an ass.

It's probably just the weak Dollar vs. the strong Yen. I think the game's release is a nice gesture, not that the limited run is a slap in the face.

Do you have a source for this information? Because that seems like a really weird way of doing it. I'd think that they would advertise this fact a little more.

I would preorder it if that's true, but I don't even own a Wii. I'm holding out for the Wii U.

Lol, says the man with Panzer Dragoon Saga as his avatar. Well played, sir. Well played.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Even if this were true, which is it undoubtedly not, there are plenty of speculators who are buying multiple copies. There will probably be double the amount of games in circulation as demand.

Yes, I am convinced there will only be one production run of the game, but the amount will be based on various factors, not strictly pre-orders.

If this is true actually they gonna sell more! People will buy 3,4,5 copies to resell and then nintendo will say "Since this game sell so good were gonna give it a proper release".
