Does this mean that the game is available at other retailers on August 18 or 19th since I don't have Gamestop here in the country where I live?

^Yes. Gamestop is like our largest game chain. that is why everything is gamestop. in the u.s. gamestop is crazy.
my mall, my tiny mall has 2 gamestops in it. they are like a minute's walk from eachother. its like mcdonalds for games.

the game is avalible for release in other stores, but if you are not in the u.s. u cannot get the game. you will have to order it from like amazon or something. the august 24 date is just the united states

Your mall sounds an awful like my mall. What city are you from?

In my city, Gamestop bought out the company that owned the other game store, which is why they ended up with two in the mall. Why they didn't just close one down, I do not know.

They have bought out pretty much every other game dealer EVER in the US, though.

Thats exactly what mine did! Im from Rochester! where u from?

Nevada. That's really weird, though.

Lol! New York and Nevada are oppisite sides of the continental Unites States. Stupid Gamestop is going to be like McDonalds soon. Every store, only a mile apart. (Or in our case, less than 30 feet)

It's like that down in PA, too.
There are LITERALLY 6 Gamestops within a 5 mile radius of each other. Dx

I'm thinking it's more likely that they were giving a date to get fans excited and all that, and then couldn't meet their own deadline.
THAT, or the game sites were just making guesses as to when it would come out-before there's an official date, but it's known to be currently worked on, that's what they usually do. =w=

o_o Why do you guys have so many Gamestops and yet there isn't one anywhere NEAR my house except in a Mall. Well, there is one that is outside a mall(THANKFULLY) that isn't TOO far away. (And better yet the Employees are 10x better.)

Also, not EVERY game company really pushes back on their release dates. It's unprofessional and the more professional ones actually only delay rarely. It happens, but not with EVERY SINGLE GAME. Like look at Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft. How often do big name publishers like them push back?

Lexy- Not often, I s'pose. But Natsume has been infamous for it's major delays. =w=;

*sees ray of hope*

Now the question for me is which gamestop will have the shortest release date?
They're always hit and miss. Sometimes they're helpful, and other times they're like, "whaa-?"
EDIT: YESH! My 150th post. C:

Gamestop has pretty much a monopoly on the video game retailer business thanks to their to get exclusive pre-order deals and whatnot. The people who get games fastest though, are the manufacturers. Then whomever get's the shipments faster. It's ACTUALLY possible to get the game on Shipping day however through Amazon. Just prepared to pay and arm and leg for it.

And yes, I am aware of Natsume's inability to keep to their release dates. xD It's actually won them a few Vaporware awards.

Ah think the joke yer lookin' for is Starbucks. Then again, we cowboys don't mind a good burger, but real men drink their coffee black... ma'am. /tips hat

Didn't Nintendo push back SSB?

I'm planning to get GB either on play-asia or amazon. I doubt if our local store will have the game on the release date. Oh well....I have to pay extra if I want to get the game in one day.

Can't wait till 2014 when they'll probably finally release this game in Europe. Hooray for importing!
