HARHAR

Stop making such a fool of yourself, you're so pathetic.


Nintendo have nothing to do with the production or distribution of games that aren't their own.

They produce the special discs, but Skies is the only GC game that is in short supply, so it isn't like they havne't got enough. Every single other game is easily avaliable, including the rest of Sega's games.

Fact is, Sega don't beleive it will sell well, they didn't on the DC and they don't on the GC, hence a very small amount were produced.

Okay, so I try every retailer there is online that I can think of, Play, Game, Special Reserve, Amazon, gamesdirect, HMV, Woolworths, gameplay, ebay ( 1 seond hand copy :( ) , CEX, the one Maverick mentioned earlier, and nowhere has it actually in stock. But there is one who has it, allegedly, on 24 hour dispatch. £37.99 + £1 postage, new - rearrange these letters and add .co.uk on the end to find it "cmv".

Now to see if they are lying gets or holders of a secret stash...

I mean Skies Of Arcadia... I said 'same goes' when referring to Steel Battalion, which I've got anyway. I want to get Skies Of Arcadia, new - not used. Nottingham's vast supply has dried up, so anyone know where it can be bought ?

Wrong forum, turncoat!

Does anyone know anywhere online that actually has it, not that can get, that has it in stock ? SR don't even have it on their database anymore.

Same goes for Steel Batallion - a Capcom game yet MS were ultimately to blame for the screw up that was the release.

It's Nintendo's console, ultimately the buck stops with them. Maybe the publishers didn't want to make a load of the game in case it did not sell thanks to Nintendo's high media production costs ? Fast is that it's easier to get the DC version than it is the GC one....

Practical Magic, Nintendo do have a part to play in all GameCube games, just as Microsoft do Xbox and Sony do Playstation 2. However, in third party games it is a very small part.

If you really want to know why Skies of Arcadia Legends for the GameCube has been so poorly distributed, I suggest you contact this address:

Infogrames
Landmark House
Hammersmith Bridge Rd
London W6 9EJ
England.

That's the address to the right of, "Distributed by"

It also says "Distributed by Infogrames." right above the words, "ASSEMBLED IN GERMANY" and below "Published by SEGA corporation."

Nintendo had nothing to do with the game's distribution. Infogrames did.

Oh look it's Whitestripes usual crap attempt to criticise.

Who controls distribution of games in the UK eh smart@ss ? Nintendo.
Whose console fails if there are not enough copies of decent games ? Nintendo.
Which company do you love with every inch of your life and feel the need to insanely defend ? Nintendo by the looks of it....
