Exactly the same thing happened to me, but at the Game store in the UK. Went in yesterday to pick up my preordered game with a Ganondorf statue and they'd sold it!

However, they phoned around other stores and found one, then ordered it for me, then gave me a standard copy of the game for FREE on loan until it arrives. I'm going to complete the game before I take it back, then keep the limited edition version boxed brand new. Those statues are already selling for quite a lot on ebay, without the game included.

I dunno. I think the best cartoony looking game ever was Jet Grind/Set Radio. But as far as milking it for decades, yeah the crown goes to Nintendo. And the latest Mario looks really good. I am just sick to death of Mario.

Jet Set Radio is one of my favourite games of all time, the graphics were great!

Moving back on topic, I too was (obviously) going to buy the game, though I wasn't overly excited. This new trailer has changed that massively!

You've raised some very interesting points to be fair. I won't ever regret the purchase because there will be lots of exclusive 1st party games on Wii U, and Nintendo games are my favourites. Though I do regret buying the console at launch. If I'd bought one now, it would be cheaper and there's a good run of 1st party titles on the way. My Wii U spent most of it's time gathering dust since launch.

I still meet people that aren't really sure what the Wii U is, because Nintendo just never seemed to push it. Everyone knows that the Xbox One and PS4 are on the way, even my mother, because you can't escape the advertising and hype that Sony and Microsoft generate pre-launch. I think that 3rd party interest will increase after more 1st party titles are released, but heaven knows what the future will be like for Wii U. 

add me if you want, 36 in the UK
