Is Mario & Monkey Ball 2 Out Today ?
 
I thought the release day for these 2 was today Tuesday the 27th.

But BB and CC won't have them until Wednesday the 28th.

Does anyone else (Walmart, Target, Toys R Us...) have them today ?

Good question. I might have to do some calling around.

Groucho 08-27-02 07:51 AM

Generally video games go by a ship date, rather than a release date like DVDs, which is frustrating as all get out. The ship for both games was 8/26, which means that speciality shops like EB and Gamestop probably put them out yesterday afternoon or today, and other stores like Best Buy and Target won't have them for sale until tomorrow.

From what I read, however, Monkey Ball has been delayed and the ship date is actually 8/27. So add +1 to the dates up above.

Best Buy says Wednesday, but maybe just to cover themselves in case it isn't on the shelf today... gonna check anyhow!

NY.

Try calling some in your area.
I called 2 different ones and they both have them but one is $49.99 and the other is $52.99.

I also tried Target, Walmart, BB & Toys R Us but none of them had them today.

Sorry, I meant which game?

I picked up my copy of Mario Sunshine at EB yesterday through the trade-in deal where you traded in two ps2, gamecube or xbox games for Sunshine. Not bad at all.

I picked up my preordered Mario at Funcoland today. EB had both Super Monkey Ball and Mario.

This is in Mays Landing, NJ.

I talked to a guy at Best Buy today and he said they should get them sometime this afternoon. He said they'd put them out today if they're able to, if not they'll be out tomorrow.

Super Monkey Ball 2.

Toy's R Us had both this morning.

FedEx tried to deliver my copies of SMS and SMB2 today. I'll be picking them up at FedEx after work. Wish they'd just leave them at the door, but oh well.

Zodo 08-27-02 01:43 PM

I went to Toys R Us and got my Mario, and went to EB and got my Monkey Ball 2...

Now I just gotta wait for a couple more hours til I get off from work.

Out of curiousity, where did you order from? EB got me my SMS today, but no sign of SMB2.

Mike_AA 08-27-02 02:04 PM

TONS of Marios at my EB. It's out for sure

Yeah, I ordered from EB. The FedEx thing on the door had both tracking numbers, so it looks like they tried to deliver both. Don't konw why they couldn't ship them together. I ordered them at the same time. EB is weird.

Cyberock 08-27-02 03:28 PM

I just picked up Mario today from EB. Also saw Monkey Ball 2 there.

Gdrlv 08-27-02 04:54 PM

I just reserved the last copy of Mario that the GameStop near my work has. Forgot about Monkey Ball, but I may be picking that up as well.

darkside 08-27-02 05:08 PM

I just got home with Mario and I'm starting to play it now.

the_dude8 08-27-02 05:41 PM

gamestop has sunshine, but not super monkey ball 2.

Michael T Hudson 08-27-02 06:29 PM

Circuit City had Mario this morning.

Jeremy517 08-27-02 06:45 PM

I got my Mario for $42.50 at Fred Meyer. No Monkey Ball there though. I'll have to try Best Buy and use my $5 off coupon.

silentbob007 08-27-02 08:42 PM

I saw both games at my local Best Buy today.
