The story started when Gamestop called up customers who had pre-ordered the game with news that the game had been canceled. It turns out that it was basically a lie of sorts, because Walmart in the US will be recieving copies of the game exclusively. This response from an official Nintendo representative clarified the confusion:
“Chibi Robo: Park Patrol will launch October 2. The game, which features an adorable miniature robot who wants to clean up the environment, will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide.
Notice that the representative says, nationwide? It looks like living in Canada has some advantages after all. I’ll try to enjoy walking into EB games and picking this game up enough for all of you.
