One of the more quiet announcements from TGS was Puyo Puyo, which is heading to both Wii and 3DS. From what I can gather, this is the 20th anniversary title that was released in Japan for DS earlier this year.
You can find a trailer of the game in action above.
Earlier today I strolled into Best Buy eagerly hoping that I would be able to purchase Kirby Mass Attack. What I was told definitely surprised me, to say the least. An employee I spoke with said that the store received two copies. Yes, just two, and they were both taken by the time I made it to the store.
It’s surprising because a) Kirby is a fairly important IP/Nintendo character and b) the location of this Best Buy is in a moderately populated area.
Looking online, I noticed that it’s backordered on BestBuy.com and is out of stock Target.com. Walmart.com isn’t even listing the game. It’s possible that the last couple of retailers simply haven’t received copies yet and will instead change their status later this week. I could also check GameStop (as much as I dislike the store) and see how much (if any) product they have.
It might be too soon to start claiming that there are supply issues for Mass Attack (hence the question mark in the title!). However, the fact that my local Best Buy received such a small amount of copies and is backordered online has me a bit concerned…
