I just noticed......every game I like are ridiculously obscure(with the exception of Monster Hunter) for some...fucking...reason.

I could search every retail store, but it's tiring. I could search their website, but I'm sure to miss a few stores. And no, I'm not using ebay or Amazon because I'm not good with them.

So......is there any site that helps you with finding out if any copies of a game is on sale in specific regions(specifically...in Canada sad).

Gamestop/EB Games has a feature where you can see what nearby stores a particular game is located at.

Ah....thx....

edit: JESUS CHRIST! There is only one copy left, and it's 12km away from my house?!

edit2: FUCK! No store stocks Phantom Brave and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn at all!?


Why are all the games I like ridiculously rare/obscure?!

Seconding the Amazon suggestion. Their prices tend to be better than those in physical stores anyway.

OP might be part of the Amazon boycott going on right now, but lets not get into that.

As we've seen from earlier threads, boycotts are not worth taking part in regardless of how strong your principles are if it means missing out on a game you want to play.

I'm...not an online delivery type a person....also, I was planning to go out with someone anyways so I decided to buy it today to kill 2 birds with 2 stones.


Also, you'll never believe this, I think I just bought the last copy in my province!

It kinda pisses me off a little that this game is both short and easy...but it's literally the last decent game on the Wii(thank you very much No A)...and it's a work of art.

That works too. Plus you didn't give any money to the Koch brothers.

Radiant Dawn isn't obscure, it's just kinda old. It was a near-launch title for the Wii.

I have a message from another time...

The boycott I mentioned wasn't Video Game related.

Forget I even brought it up.

^^ Well many people have never heard of it. And even now there are still "some" launch titles still being sold.

I've only heard of the game through a few rather Face Palm-tastic review of the game...where the reviewer took off points for the game being too hard. And then another review who took off points for not having Mii-Support.

That's when I really wanted to play it...and Phantom Brave...and Tales Of Grace...and all 3 Operation Rainfall games...

Why is every game I like obscure!?
Maybe you're just too Hipster.

Check your closet for ironic T-shirts, and your face for glasses with very thick frames.

If you find either, seek a proffessional in hipsterology.

Fragile Dreams and Muramasa The Demon Blade

As a piece of art the two succeed beautifully...as games...they need more work.

Got Muramasa awhile back because I could grab it really cheap.

It's beautiful, which is enough for me to put up with the so-so gameplay.

I beat it...and then I played through the bosses in the One-Hit Wonder mode...do you have any idea how Game-Breaker-y spinning-style sword techniques are?

Granted it was a fun challenge, and I did die quite a few times smile...but I'm still peeved that it can only be unlocked after I beat the game once...thus removing the satisfaction of earning my progress. sad


Now my new goal...Phantom Brave...the game I've been getting since the day I got the ****ing Wii...

[up]You're not alone. I can't find it anywhere within a ten country radius. I eventually settled for the PSP version...But I seriously doubt you have any options besides online retail/bidding sites...
