That's because retailers know they can still sell at that price. I seriously doubt Nintendo sales reps are forcing shops to sell at that price. This is the one game which I can be sure of seeing in Wii U game shelves. I don't see anything to suggest a shortage of units that would drive up the price like the situation with MH3U at launch. Naught to do with greed.

That belief itself is quite off the mark as the shop purchasing manager would have purchased it at a certain price some time back. Price is then set in store based on whatever calculations they use. At least that's my understanding of retail. There's probably someone that works or used to work in a game shop that could confirm or refute what I'm saying.

The prices are ridiculously hiked up. If Nintendo made a reasonable amount of prints the prices would become decent which they aren't right now.

The staff probably bought it once they realised if there were a few left, as it goes on ebay still for around £40!

I presume Nintendo discontinued the production of Nintendoland too?
That game used to be £6 and now it's going for at least £20.

Same goes for Zombi U.

This is not a game in limited supply. If it was it would be hard to find. It isn't.

Is this game out of production and therefore in limited supply or are Nintendo just greedy? Even pre-owned copies go for £30+ and the game is over 2 years old!

To confirm for everyone, the shelf was empty, asked a colleague, they said if the shelf is empty then it's OOS. Asked the guy at the till, he looked in the game drawer and on the pc, it's a discontinued line and they have none left. Cant even check other stores due to discontinuity.

It's sold out, in here right now and it's been removed from the shelf. Must have been a one off.

There's no reason they couldn't make more prints. It's just Project Zero 5 all over again.

oos

Looks like it was only £14.99 before the discount as well !

Gah, this title just will not go down in price :disappointed:

I would have bought every copy and sold them to the good folk on here!

Last time I went into store some years ago, the entire downstairs section was entirely for gaming, and filled to the brim. It was excellent. Changed days, is sad kids don't get to go and see 100s of titles on the shelves anymore like we used to be able to. Guess thats the internet for you (and progress).

Good spot. Thanks op

BEST.DEAL.EVER.

How many copies were there? Trying to decide if it's worth popping over at lunch.

Expired.

Tried playing this game but I really really can't seem to get into these games which seemed to be aimed at kids. Nether the less heat for the price! :smiley:

Release the geese! Great fun as a single player, but really shines with local multiplayer. Scorchio!

Been there at 10. and no copy left. I have asked to check in the back and apparently was just that copy available.

Why do people find these offers the days I work from home???

Well.. if anyone can get them I'm willing to buy a copy of your willing to get me one!

Well my fiancé lives in London, so I'd say it was a surprise visit. :wink:

Unbelievable price, if I wasn't at work I'd get on a train to central London. Even with a train ticket (£13.50) it would still cost me a hell of a lot less than the retail value of this game!

saved me a trip thanks

None of the other Wii U games are specifically cheap, Kirby is £19.99 but that's about it.

Anyone want to buy me a copy? I'll pay £20 all in for it :smiley:

When the crazy £39.99 Ps3 deal was on here a month ago, the prices at Westfield mirrored those of Oxford Street - they had the PS3 for that price - so may be worth popping in there if you can't get to central London.

Was this the big main one of the smaller one down the road?

Or perhaps both?

Very unlikely to get this at Edinburgh, Princes St store. Was in last week and they have a tiny corner for gaming. About 4 Wii U games were there and about 6 3DS games, most out of stock too and Mario 3D was not one of their games. Might be worth a pop in if passing though.

Any other discounted games?

Sod it, I work near Baker St so it's only one stop away on the tube. Will try a speculative punt at lunch.

Excellent please let some be there after 5 today...Heat, I also see some amiibos in that pic for 8 squid

In case anyone is interested also saw Resident Evil 6 on Xbox 360 in same store for 99p.

If enough of you submit a price match to Amazon you might get a pricematch

Holy crap, the cheapest online is £37.99?

Might have to take a trip down after work tonight. Could have gone this morning as I walk from Oxford Circus to Soho, so it's a bit of a trek to pop out of work for 35mins to get there and back! Hopefully they have some copies left tonight!!!

Wow. Great game and, you're right, rarely discounted - you're unlikely to see anything like this price again!

Great price! Will check my local later :smiley:

Longshot but if anyone is kind enough to pick up an extra copy I'll happily pay postage etc.

Scorching :sunglasses:

Amazing price, amazing game! Heat.
