"Just got Pikmin 2"

Wahey, the lovely little game is now sitting in its oversized box besides my computer.

Is it just me or did this game sorta come out without a bang? I mean Animal Crossing got a bigger reception prior to release than this classic title.

I haven't seen one advert, most magazines are plastering Paper Mario or Donkey Konga on their covers and most Nintendo of Europe stuff is far more interested in last weeks GBA SP price drop and Pokemon release.

Poor Pikmin 2, I hope it won't effect the sales too much.

No need to overcomplicate the metaphor. :P

Nah, it's more like opening up the box for a 20 layer 5 million gigabyte HD Drive to get an SD RAM chip.

(got to make it a bit more geeky see)

*Squints*

Wahey! You live near Exeter!

Good area :-).

I know the reason I just find it so very funny.

Open a massive DVD size case and pull out a tiny disc.

It's like getting a ring for Christmas and it's in a box the size a computer would fit in.

They could be half that size - but wouldn't stand out as much on the shelves.

Same reason GBA packaging never changed when the carts went smaller.

Find a local independant retailer, they tend to put the games on the shelf early.

It's not a special box... all Gamecube's boxes are oversized.

I thought twas an odd release day.....

Hmmmm.....

Friday then. Maybe.

*checks diary*

Oh, nothing, as usual

Okay then. Might get Fable as well. Ah, the temptations!

No no it comes out this friday!

It's out?

ARG!

Trip to Exeter tomorrow + trade ins me thinks.
