Remember how it got pushed back a week after they announced a release date?

We could be playing the game tomorrow!

I can't wait until next week...

I think but I'am not sure that if you still have the pre-orderriceipt you can pick it up at any store (Ex: If you pre-order at EB Games then you can pick up the game at any EB Games.)

I don't think that could work because then they couldn't garuntee that they would have enough copies of the game to satisfy all preorders.

Oh, yeah. I forgot it was supposed to come out about now before being pushed back. Well, Nintendo better have used that extra week to fine tune the game. At least I got Super Metroid to keep me busy.

At least it didn't suffer the same fate as Metroid Prime Hunters. That was a game that went from launch title to a pack in demo to who knows when it's going to come out status. It was almost 2 years after launch before we were playing it. This is a lot nicer. I thought they were going to pull a DS with the Wii and make us wait almost a year before any good games came out. We've gotten 3 or 4 awesome games (depending on your taste) and their 3 biggest franchises are all being released really soon. I'm not so worried about the game coming out a week from now. I've got plenty of stuff to do until then and no money for it yet anyway. I'm more worried about how I'm going to have time to play and afford all these awesome games coming soon!

Same here, but I doubt I'll have trouble finding a copy after schoolin my small town. You can always preorder, but I doubt you'll have to.

I don't think you'll have issues finding it. I don't recall ever having issues getting a game before it sold out and I've waited until evenings. Madden everyyear sells almost the most games of any game every year and I can always find it.

I bet Nintendo pushed it back just to avoid Bioshock... because face it, all this talk of Bioshock would have made getting attention for MP3 hard.

That is not a bad theory at all. Also, it is giving Nintendo more time to make more copies so it will be less likely to be sold out.
