Heavenly Guardian Impossible to Find?
I preordered this PS2 game literally two months before it came out from Amazon and it looks like they never got any copies in stock as mine is still backordered. Buy.com had it for a week or so, but sold out. It is sold out everywhere else on-line and on Ebay the only copy I can find is a punch-out. Has anyone seen this in a brick & mortar store or know of an on-line retailer with it in stock?
It so happens that I got the game this morning from CD Universe. A week ago it was still available, but I checked and it is now out of stock. Sorry.
BTW, in case you are interested in the upcoming RC Mini Chopper for the PS2, Amazon doesn't take pre-orders for this game anymore. Might be the same situation as it is for Heavenly Guardian.
However, CD Universe takes still pre-orders for the game. So you might try that if interested. IF the game will be released, this way you're pretty safe to get it. (To give you an idea about the shipping charges, I paid $2.99 for Heavenly Guardian)
Here is the LINK.
I usually avoid pre-orders like a cat avoids water, but with some of these quirky and not high in-demand very late releases you have to be careful.

Just have to be patient I suppose.
I heard that game was cancelled.
No, it's out. Several people were able to get copies from Buy.com and CDUniverse. I just can't find anywhere that still has it in stock. Looks like I might need to call Tommo and see what the deal is.Originally Posted by TOE-NEE
I certainly can't find it anywhere...have to look harder!
I found one here it says it's in stock so I ordered one... http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewprod...=08-50776037-2
That's odd. I pre-ordered mine from Amazon as well and got an email from them Monday saying it had shipped. Today I got another email informing me the price was lowered to $14.99 and I would get $5.00 refunded.
I love these quirky shooters. I didn't even know this game existed but for $13.99 and free shipping what do I have to lose? I find it strange, though, that deepdiscount.com doesn't have an image or any info at all. Add in the fact that Gamestop's website doesn't even acknowledge the game exists at all and it makes me wonder what's going on.
What's odd is that as of about three hours ago, they were saying it was available in 3-10 days. Now it says it ships right away. Combined with the fact that the other poster is claiming he got a ship notification from Amazon, I think it's possible that maybe other retailers are starting to get restock or their initial stock. I guess I'll just be patient and hope Amazon comes through.
Deep Discount is reliable...slow as hell, but reliable. I ordered an OOP book on backorder that Amazon didn't have available and I had it the next week.
Ugh....
You made me but it.
This looks really quirky and old school...and it was cheap...
It has been said that many games that later become rare are released at the end of a consoles life-cycle. You may have stumbled upon one of those rarities with...at least I hope so since I bought it...

I dont know if this is what you already saw because it says that the bar code has been punched out. Yet the description says its sealed new so I dont know.
They're promo copies. The most likely scenario here would seem to be that someone set up some fly-by-night review site or blog and sweet-talked their way into some review copies or something. Shit, half or better of all used CDs (and most "new" CDs bought from individual sellers) bought on Amazon are promo copies.
Game Stops seemed to be getting "used" "new copies" (i.e. opened new ones sold used) for like $19.99 or less.
My store got one copy of it in.
i found a copy after calling around. luckily theres a huge number of gamestops/ebs around
4 Wonderswan Consoles, 98 CIB Wonderswan/Color Games
6 Wonderswan Accessories,1 Wonderswan Prototype
So for anyone thats played the game, how is it? I think i'll check out my local Gamestop and see if they have this.
Looks like mine finally shipped today + I'm getting the $5 refund. Thanks amazon(free shipping for the win, btw).
RC Mini Chopper most likely isn't coming out. When Amazon delayed my preorder indefinitely, I made a post about it on the Valcon forums and they said:
"Unfortunately, the future of this project is looking very uncertain. If anything changes, we'll let you know."
:'(
Shame, because the game looked pretty fun, even if we weren't going to get the neat little RC helicopter controller that they got in Japan (with the first game, at least). I mean, $15! There's a demo of the PC version available if anyone wants to see what the game is like (in addition to being related to the PS1 game Rescue Copter). Look for PCopter2Trial.exe.

Oklahoma DP Roll Call!
My friend picked up a copy today at gamestop. It was used fr like 19 or 29, I can't remember. He says its really fun, really Japanesey. I think he compared it to pocky and rocky on SNES.
Hopefully he can get me a copy.

Too bad, I hoped for a helicopter game because...
...I liked the two PS1 games R/C Stunt Copter and RC Helicopter (IGN game pic is wrong, the game has a different cover). They were a nice variety to the 'ususal' set up and game concept we get, and it was a nice challenge to get the controls right and solve some of the puzzles.Shame, because the game looked pretty fun, ...(in addition to being related to the PS1 game Rescue Copter). Look for PCopter2Trial.exe.
I didn't know about Rescue Copter, I think I'll get this one at some point. Thanks for the heads up.
