I'm not surprised, and I can think of a reason. Metroid Prime is not a system seller by any means. Frankly, its sales are average compared to other Nintendo franchises, if you need further proof that this game already isn't very popular just check out Gamespot's ten top Wii games list. Metroid is number seven, only three weeks away from its release. Go to other sites and you'll find that Metroid isn't even on the list of "top ten most popular". If Nintendo had limited supply of Metroid, they could deem its release asa "sell out" which would increase hype. We saw a similar theory from the Gamestop CEO a few weeks ago for Wii, didn't we? Only of course I think that is somewhat ridiculous...
Oh, and it's good to see you back to posting at the EoNU mos333. :)
I honestly don't get this. It's like anyother game. Why would they do this, plus it supposably being the best in the series. I don't think they'd in anyway do that, I can't understand why anyway.

Heh, you didn't think I left, did you ;3?
Either way, It doesn't matter to me what happens to MP3 because I don't own a Wii, and don't plan on buying one anytime soon =/..
Have you guys ever heard the saying that in every rumor there's an inkling of truth? (Or someone could be flat out lying but still....) I would not be worried about this at all. Metroid may not be a bestseller but it is still pretty popular, and I think Nintendo has more sense than to ship in a limited supply. If your worried about it then preorder the thing and let other people fret. If you can't preorder....well....I wish you the best of luck.
See, I wish pre-ordering games in England meant something, the game will be popular over here (infact, all Wii games tend to sell out on thier first day of release in the stores I go to). You just have to get there early to beat out other potential buyers, pre-ordering games just gets you 'double points' at our biggest game retail shop (Game). But I have till October 26th to prepare for that.

That's kind of dumb. I'm definitely more grateful to Gamestop/EBgames now, since we're actually guaranteed copies of a game with a pre-order.
[QUOTE="lebanese_boy"]WTF !?! Wow if this ever happens to be true then I might consider buying this around the launch date :?.murlow12
But you don't even have a Wii yet, why would you do that?
Anyway, I won't buy it until next year. I still haven't even played MP2. :oops:
You are not the only one who hasn't played MP2.

Yes, Gamestop/ EB games are very good about having a copy for you when to pick it up. I don't think that there will be a limited supply though. That isn't really Nintendo's thing. However, when I preordered Brawl, the sales clerk asked me if I wanted to preorder MP3? I don't think that means there is a short supply that they know of, but more a chance to make a sales to the customer...... business stuff I mean.
