Vblank on why there won’t be physical versions of Retro City Rampage for Nintendo systems
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments
Vblank Entertainment prepared a physical version of Retro City Rampage on the PlayStation 4 a few months ago. That was followed up with another announcement today of a physical version for the PlayStation Vita release. With the news, some fans wondering about the possibility of Nintendo versions getting the same treatment.
Sadly, there won’t be physical versions Retro City Rampage of either Wii or 3DS. Vblank’s Brian Proviciano explained why:
I looked into both Wii and 3DS when determining which platform(s) to do a physical version for as well. Unfortunately, the minimum print runs, cost per unit and other factors lead to me not doing them. They would’ve been super cool, but it all comes down to projected cost and estimated risk. For example, I put in the work to get approval for releasing it unrated so it could have a lower retail price. Cartridges (whether it’s 3DS or PS Vita) also cost much more than discs to produce, so that meant PS Vita still wound up being $5 more than the PS4 blu-ray version — but I take the steps I can to keep costs low.
GameStop says all wave 4 Smash Bros. amiibo pre-orders are sold out
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 26 Comments
GameStop opened pre-orders for the wave 4 Smash Bros. amiibo earlier today. All reservations were handled in-store (web-in-store, to be specific), and they were never available online.
A notice posted on GameStop’s Facebook account now states that all wave 4 amiibo have sold out. It’s unclear if this is only for web-in-store pre-orders, or all orders in general. If it’s the latter, I’m sure many consumers will be unhappy!
