"Mario Sunshine - out tomorrow!"

Well, in CA Games it is anyway. I took a trip there early just to have another play of it, and possibly a small play of Starfox Adventures too, but the guy wouldn't let me because he said they're getting rid of their American stock of the game (Mario Sunshine) to make way for the British release tomorrow. I said that most places have it releasing on Friday and that's the official release date and the guy told that's what's good about being connected to Nintendo.

So I guess I'll be getting myself a copy tomorrow, and laughing in all your faces, even though I won't have a GC for another 2 weeks, and in which case, you'll all be laughing at me for having a game that I'm unable to play unless I go to a mate's house.

Well, at least it'll be nice to know I'll be one of the first people in the UK to have a PAL version of Mario Sunshine. Yay!

£37.99 too, which is a damn bargain!

:-D

It's not a poor excuse because it's true. Erm. :-D

Their owner, Charlie Ambrose works for Nintendo of Europe, so said NGC. Or something.

There'd be no point in getting that.

I have vouchers for GAME, and I'll buy the GC, and the GC only from there.

So I'm getting Mario Sunshine, for cheaper, and quicker. And the GC later, with vouchers. And I'll play it tomorrow anyway. Lots. At a mate's.

So really, I'm not silly. At all. :-)

They have got it earlier than everyone else I think. They've had it since Wednesday, which I think is before anyone else. I could be wrong, mind you.

I also held the PAL box, if that counts for anything. :-D

Try Another World if theres one near you, they've never failed to sell me a new game early yet.....

I'm gonna go searching round all my shops tomorrow armed with a pitchfork :D

CA aren't getting them any earlier than anyone else, they're just intending to sell them earlier than everyone else... Game in Nottingham often do this with minor titles but not big ones like Mario Sunshine as Nintendo tend to go a bit ape if they catch you selling major releases early.

HE gets it Wednesday, YOU get it Friday...

Umm how come CA get it before anyone else? Because they're connected with Nintendo is a poor excuse no? Surely releasing it simultaneously would boost their proits and not cause fuss, lets face it very time Mario sells no matter what shop it's from they profit. Why CA.

Gah, I don't care I've got it for free anyhoo.

*Laughs at Afro for not having a Cube.

Tsk and you have the nerve to say you rule too, shame on you.

Well I pre-ordered it yesterday from my local game shop and the owner said that he would be getting them either Wednesday or Thursday!

I have it for free too, but it means we don't get it as quick Howard, you just remember that before you go pointing at the nice people.
