Just today before work, I ran off to EB Games to pick up my copy of No More Heroes. I had tried the day before just after their latest shipments came in, but the box that was expected to be the game instead held Endless Ocean. While it still looks like a really interesting game, it wasn’t what I was hoping for. Anyways, during my attempt today, I was confused when my buddy from across the counter looked at me and said “I think it has been delayed.” Upon asking when, he said February 1st.

But this could just be typical EB Games, right? Well, I tried basically every other retailer who I am sure carries games. Almost all said the same thing. Could this be true? It seems odd since the title is already out in the U.S. Is Canada actually getting left out for a week?

Unfortunately, this is going to hold back our review for the game. But in the meantime, feel free to pick up Endless Ocean, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (just picked this title up and am really enjoying it!), or even take the time to finish those games you haven’t touched in months. How about picking up Zack & Wiki? That’s a game that needs your support!

Anyways, we’ll keep you updated if this is in fact true or not. Expect our review for Advance Wars: Days of Ruin to come soon from Kevin, and I will be reviewing No More Heroes soon after it is made available.

If you’re in Canada and are having the same problem, leave a message in our forums. And if you’re in Canada and HAVE received the title… PLEASE leave a message in our forums so we can figure this out!

Chris’ Note: Apparently, this problem is nation-wide, with many reports of the same problem of a delay until February 1st. According to rumour, Ubisoft in their infinite wisdom forgot to print French manuals to include with the game. As required by law in our bilingual country, every product  must have French instructions and/or packaging, as I’m sure you’ve all noticed by now. I’m going to keep an eye on stores tomorrow, and if nothing shows up at work or anywhere this’ll pretty much be all the confirmation we need of a delay.

This is a complete bummer to all of us, and I’d imagine all of you, as I know all three of us spent a fair amount of time trying to track down a copy today to no avail.
