Bah, the Sears in my town doesn't sell games and the K-mart I called didn't even know what the release date was. No dice in South Jersey. :/

If someone did get the English copy from Sears, they would be playing it now x_x Ugggh. I'm gonna wait til two or three more days for someone to confirm this is true.

When I called the Customer Service hotline, they said they only had about 150 copies in stock for the online store.

In order to varrify this I'd have to see a video of The Brawl Theme song sung by Sakurai next to it, two forms of Varification, a police officer there to verify the whole thing, four or five of my buddies and Panda taking notes, and Sakurai's grandma to confirm it's identity.

Oh wow. If that's true, then a lot of people are going to be disappointed when Sears sends them an e-mail refunding their orders...

I'm going to call it in a minute. Wish me luck!

EDIT: They didn't have it :(

The guy sounded mad
Like I said a few pages ago, Sears is going to hate Smash Bros fans after today. They've probably been getting phone calls every few minutes for the last 5+ hours, all over the country.

sugarpoultry got off the phone moments ago with the Sears in Idaho Falls. The worker there said they did have Brawl, and she witnessed the game flying off shelves in a matter of seconds. They are now out of stock here and will not restock until March 9.

This is no rumor. It is 100% true. Check your local Sears, everyone.

That could definitely be good news for those of us who managed to get the game ordered online before the page was removed, or at least everyone that got a confirmation email.

Edit: And Sears will have to pay a fine for this, probably x amount for each copy that was sold before March 9th.

all K-marts in my area(as with most in the country) have sporadic shipping patterns, so they can be expecting calls from me twice a day now, every time there is a new shift of employees. I will get my hands on that advanced copy. At least one of the stores had it and sold out so there is hope for me after all(does make me a little sad that i already pre-ordered it TWICE though).

Hehe, I just called another Sears, just to see if I could possibly pick up a copy now, and the woman told me that "all the Sears in the United States are sold out."

I guess word gets 'round...

I doubt Sears would get all that many copies in, and on top of that they have a computer system that would be able to tell them where copies are avaiable.
