coffeewithmrsaturn | 100 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 That's funny. I came here to see if anyone was talking about that! There is a seller on eBay with 50 in stock still, but they could go fast.

I mean after seeing a soccer game for the Wii end up being hundreds of dollars, this title seems like one of those that would end up like that. xD Hopefully it is hype just like with the Rollercoaster Tycoon one too. I remember people thinking it was going to be so limited in print and it sold up to $100. Then more came later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember rushing out to Best Buy to get a release copy of Okami (Wii) with the ign watermark on the front cover art. As far as I know it never became particularly valuable, but I really felt like I was getting something special at the time. Videogame collecting is so weird some times.

coffeewithmrsaturn | 100 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 There is a new video from Bird Dog Gaming about the cooking mama fiasco: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,013 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Holy hell that was hard to watch. But, I got through all 12 mins and it was clear to me that the cooking mama expert said he couldn't go into detail but there is an issue with Amazon and the COVID 19 stocking guidelines. Seems like a bad timing issue on every front that is causing the stock to get backed up, similar to what were seeing with a lot of switch games like Ring Fit. I would assume that since there is stock issues at major retailers due to COVID, they probably don't want to do a proper game launch. Also, this is the same publisher of those budget racing games so who really knows what's going on over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most from a beta tester of the game said he can't say too much information but there is an issue with major retailers, Amazon named specifically, and stock and sales of esstenial items because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Edit: I should add that YouTubers are kind of guided intothis format bc it pays for them to have videos just over 10 mins long. So while a productive video would've been 2.5 mins, people are incentivized into pumping useless info to make time.

It's that they aren't taking in shipments of non-essentials from 3rd party sellers. But this shouldn't be a problem for products that Amazon sells directly. Which makes me think that Amazon isn't planning to carry this game at all. It makes me think that the publisher or someone affiliated with the publisher was planning on selling it as a 3rd party through Amazon, and due to the COVID19 policy, they can't. But I don't know if this makes sense so I'm not claiming this is the right answer. Just a guess. I'm feeling like there's more copies of this that the publisher is sitting on and eventually they will hit the market.

You don't just pull something from the eShop like that unless there's a legal dispute.

Definitely. It's a Cooking Mama game. They're good mines for young girls who play handhelds. The publisher would be crazy not to get this into the hands of everyone who wants it. And the way the publisher pushes shovelware I don't see why it wouldn't trickle out after the pandemic stops effecting production and distribution of . Just remembered, Xenoblade on Wii sold for $100+ and $80 at fuckin GameStop. I look at these goof balls holding onto these switch titles thinking they're only going up but it's the complete opposite. Anywhere there is a place for a nickel to be made a publisher is going to take advantage of it and squeeze as many of the 5¢ pieces out of as many customers as possible.
