Xenoblade has become increasingly tougher to find as of late. On eBay, you’ll see prices that extend into the $100 range.
So it’s rather fishy how, after mostly being out of stock on GameStop for a few months, the game reappeared. Not only has it been available online, but stores have seemingly acquired new stock as well.
Kotaku reports, via a source, that GameStop “printed a few thousand copies of the game with no shrink wrap in order to restock their inventory, then labeled them as pre-owned.” The retailer is now pricing Xenoblade at $90 for a “pre-owned” copy.
GameStop says it’s looking into the situation. Nintendo has been asked for a comment, too.
A pretty odd situation, no doubt.

Wakedas, a new puzzle game from the developer behind Witch & Hero, will be released on August 22 in North America. A European date has not yet been confirmed.
Publisher Circle Entertainment hasn’t shared any official details or screenshots for Wakedas. However, the company promises an official update this week.
That's a solid YES! ;) We'll have a game out on the eShop before the end of the year. It's not Toki Tori 2.

Two Tribes is bringing a new game to the eShop this year. Actually, rather than “new”, we should probably say “existing” – which was confirmed on Twitter.
The rest is shrouded in mystery. I don’t believe Two Tribes gave a clear indication about which one of the eShops the game will be out for.
