Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! getting a print run if they reach 1000 Preorders

[ScourDX]

Capcom should do the same with Bionic Commando, Megaman 9 & Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD. I'm pretty sure people will buy the physical format.

MegaKirby: Rose N Queen is NIS`s direct sales website. In that way, it`s more legit than a brick n mortar middle man.

Heh, what's with the weird way you wrote out the name?

Rosenqueen is a reference to the character Etoile Rosenqueen and her family, who originated as merchants in Rhapsody, Nippon Ichi's first game to get a US release, but the descendants of the Rosenqueen family also showed up as shopkeepers in other NIS games.

It can be kind of confusing since they're not blatantly saying "This is the official Nippon Ichi US store!", but I like their attempt at trying to be a bit more clever.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Ah, so that's how it is then.

I thought it was more like Guns N Roses, ya know, but maybe that's just my thing. I never played Rhapsody... Otherwise, you'd think it would be pretty obvious huh? *Doh!*

Yeah, I like clever too. I just put too much into it I guess.

[Raedon]

put one in. I love limited release games and I finally got a PSP so ...

[megasdkirby]

They're legit. I've got friends locally that have bought from em before.

Thanks man.

Will be purchasing this on Tuesday at the most. I hope it pans out.

I'm having problems completing the checkout. But if this gets a B&M release I'd rather just wait and buy it there, saving on shipping and possibly there will be a sale.

I agree. But the more people say that, the less of a chance this will get a release.

[Policenaut]

Preordered mine as well!! I had a problem during the registration procedures but I managed to complete it using paypal.

Well, they updated the site today.....Not looking good. They say they need 703 more pre-orders by Nov 13th. so that means a whopping 297 have pre-ordered already.

[Aussie2B]

Wow, that's depressing. I figured they would've easily hit a measly 1000. I still haven't pre-ordered, so I'll go ahead and help out but that's not going to make much of a dent in that 700.

[ScourDX]

Dang..I guess no one heard about the news. With UMD release I thought people will buy them.

[Icarus Moonsight]

What the hell people!?

At least they made an effort to make it happen... I tried as well. Still time left, but damn...

[Oobgarm]

Don't see this one happening, unfortunately. Sucks, too.

[Cobra Commander]

Too bad they won't make them just for the people who pre-ordered.

[Sabz5150]

In for the win, preorder placed

[98PaceCar]

Not that I think it will make any difference, but I submitted this to IGN as a potential news item. DP is the only place I've seen this covered, so maybe with more coverage it will actually happen.

[gamegirl79]

I preordered just now. 698 more to go....

[Aussie2B]

Geez, this is pathetic. You'd think giving people a concrete number would light a fire under their asses (it did for me at least), but in that one day span, they only got 5 more orders? :/

[fishsandwich]

well, I've gone my duty to the gaming community and pre-ordered. We can hope.

[TonyTheTiger]

That's assuming people want the game to begin with. I'm guessing that if this were something like "We made a new game and if we get 1000 preorders we'll print it" you'd see that number hit pretty quickly. But in this case it's for a UMD copy of a game already available via digital download. The market for this is going to be very small. Anybody who wants the game already has it. The people this preorder scheme is marketing to are folks who either want the game but refuse to pay for a download or did pay for the download and now want to pay again for a physical copy. I'm going to guess that those people are few and far between. Plus, as was said above, this isn't exactly getting a whole lot of press.
