According to all official statements from Nintendo, Ocarina of Time on the 3DS is on sale today – but most of us have been playing the game since last Friday. It was the strangest, most covert street break in Australian history – a street break that threatens to transform the way games are sold in this country. We spoke to all the major retailers, and Nintendo itself, to try and uncover precisely what happened, and why.
I loved the story of this ancient receipt from 2001, yellowed and crusty. The story of the ever-patient Slash000, still valiantly waiting, believing in Duke Nukem Forever. Well, now that the game is actually close to a genuine release, Gamestop in the US have confirmed that they will honour any pre-order for the game, no matter how far back it goes! We wondered if retailers in Australia would do the same thing…
Electronic Boutique is Australia’s largest specialist video games retailer, and currently their website is beholden to some bizarre takeover. We have very little idea what it means – but it seems like they have some sort of announcement incoming.
Here’s something you already know – the 3DS comes out in Australia today. Here’s something else you probably know, but we’re about to confirm it – your chances of getting a 3DS without a pre-order are slim, and they’re about to get slimmer. We’ve just done a call around of all the major stores in our area. The verdict? Head to Pitt Street Mall’s JB Hifi, because everywhere else is practically sold out – at 10am on the day of launch.
