Aww, what is it with Namco Bandai and One Piece games. The NB site still says it's out tomorrow, NoE site says tomorrow and they even released a list of dates today which had it down as the first as well. Amazon.co.uk has had the game down as a March release which is why it says out of stock so no idea if they are getting it. Grainger Games said they don't know when they are getting it as well.

As I said on the other topic. Game shops in the UK have no idea about Games that aren't FPS games or big names. And even then it's a stretch. They just get what they're given on release day (although they SHOULD have gotten them in by now. When I worked at Toys R Us we got new games on Tuesdays)
I should also mention however. Unlimited Cruise 1 + 2 didn't appear in stores at all. It was online orders only despite Game taking pre-orders

Not quite, Morrisions had copies at some point. :p
Regardless, the rest of Europe seems to have the game on time, Spain even got it early, but not us. Shopto now has it listed for 23rd September. It's disappeared from Gameplay.co.uk, but they now have a listing for Unlimited Cruise for the 3DS (which is good).
There's even a press release from NB saying it's out tomorrow.
Basically, I have no idea what's going on.
-
I hate the anime-phobia the UK seems to have developed.
-
yeah I asked my co-worker if Toys R Us had got it in and he said 'not a chance.'
zavvi now has it for 22nd of July. I might end up going into town today. So I'll keep an eye out to see if anywhere has it.
-
Decided I'm just gonna go down next week, have a scour of the gaming shops in a last ditch effort, and then get my dad to order it off Zavvi or amazon.
But also Local, if you're used to ordering off amazon.co.UK, it goes without saying their games would all be the Europe versions yeah? #NewToAmazon
-
they are. Amazon actually do have a seperate listing for the Japanese version of the game.
Just be careful with amazon since it could be a 3rd party seller selling it. I've gotten American DVDs instead of UK ones etc of them so. (Although you'll be able to tell if it's a 3rd party cus they'll probably list this game for £35-£40 or something knowing it'll be rare.)
-
Just bought the game at a local gamestop.
Whats the quickest way to unlock Usopp?Currently playing Pokémon Shield&Sword, Switch Friend Code: SW-6524-3266-0517

this is getting ridiculous now. is there any where i can get it imported from spain or something?

Just for context - What Country are you from, and what shops have you tried going to?
-

UK - England. I have tried: Asda, Game, Amazon, Ebay, Zavvi, Play, gamespot, Gamestation, HMV, Tesco, 365 games, shopto and Bee. I currently have it pre-ordered from Asda and HMV and tesco don't actually have it listed at all
-

The only spanish online website that I know is http://www.xtralife.es/ , but I don´t know if they sell overseas
-
Re online: If Amazon go in-stock I'd go with them, but otherwise I'd maybe stick it out to 22nd July and get it from Zavvi. They're both at least doing it cheap for £24
-
So yeah, a PR guy from NB confirms that they won't be releasing Gigant Battle in the UK.
-
Do you have any idea if that mean only instores? What about the websites?
-
No idea, but it's not looking good for you guys.
This Gigant Battle map was released along with a bunch of screenshots of UC SP.
-
Seems weird they announced it and made it into english only to not release it XD Oh well.
-
Ah thanks!
This question goes out to anybody - Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to these things but, the European release wouldn't by any chance be one (of those types of games) where you pick your language from a roster of European languages, meaning I could maybe import it from somewhere like Ireland or France and just set the language to English?
Perhaps those who have a copy would know?
-
i think that was said a few pages back that it was. allow though. i'll try that website but if not i'm luckilly going to germany on the 24th. I'll get it then
-
Strangely enough, not even the rom is out. Not that anyone would illegally download that though…

It's been out since September…
Oh hey, I do videos on figures and manga and stuff: https://www.youtube.com/thatmanhismerch

One of the regional amazon sites says the game's in English but with the manual in the local lingo.
edit: Now confused cus i've just seen the french version saying 'allez' yet the italian version looks completely english.
-
So yeah, a PR guy from NB confirms that they won't be releasing Gigant Battle in the UK.
Then why did they have a press release on the UK site? Baffling.
If they aren't going to release it, then I'm not gonna bother even importing it.
-

I'm talking about the english release, not the japanese one.

Fan-friggin´-tastic, it doesn´t work
Waiting for a signature that is worth to see…

I live in the US, where can I get this game? I tried UK and US Amazon and either they don't have it in stock or they just carry the JP version. Any suggestions?
-
I just changed my language to english, french, spanish and italian, but the game is still in german; Seems like it's only single language.

Yep, German version only has German.
-
Yeah italian Amazon was the one I was thinkin' of. So german only has German - the French has French as well cus it said 'Allez'
EDIT: On the plus I got Naruto 3DS at Gamestop.
EDIT2: yeah everything I've seen of the Italian OPGB looks in English.
-
Yeah. Naruto was everywhere today.
Gamestation claimed that they had it in yet didn't have any in stock this morning. Sounds dubious.
-
wait hold on? Which countries get it in english then cause i was gonna pick it up when i went to germany but if it's only in german then theres no point
-
The Italian and Spanish versions, apparently.
-
Can't read the twitter link. Did he give a reason as to why they're not releasing the english version? I assume they've already made and translated it, if they were still planning to release it the day before the release date…. The german and french versions are out... Oh how frustrating. I want to be able to read the objectives of each level...
-
isn't out in ireland as well? that's pretty annoying cause that will be in english
-
GAME made me laugh so much today.
Me: Hi. I ordered One Piece Gigant Battle. It was supposed to come out last Friday but nowhere seems to have it.
Them: Ok. I'll check. Yup. One Piece Unlimited Cruise came out last Friday. But not Gigant Battle.
Me: Unlimited Cruise? I pre-ordered that months ago. Could I have my copy?
Them: Oh we didn't get any.So yeah. I think it's been one Gigant cock up. They probably just saw the words One Piece and assumed it was the same game or something.
-
stupid GAME. I don't know whether i should order it from amazon Italy. For starters i fear it not being in english and second i don't know whether they would ship to the UK

Yeah, I asked on twitter why there was English press releases and stuff and his answered my question by answering a different question.
Here's the response I got:
@Link-san because the demand and market is quite limited for retail
(sorry, don't know how to get the direct link to the tweet)
-
In idiotverse, not enough stores want it to bother even publishing it.
This makes me very hopeful of the future of one piece.

got this email from Game:

The latest information we have from the publishers and this is what is displayed on our website. Regrettably, One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP is currently out of stock and the purchase of this game was limited to online only.

So yeah. They've managed to announce UC for November and release it on the exact same day as the announcement.

1st November isn't even a Friday…

We need to start a revolution.
-
I shown them the promo video showing the release for UC, the tweet saying about Gigant not coming and they refused to say it was correct.

Woa… your Game stores are even more stupid than the spanish ones...
-
i didn't even bother going to the store to ask. all the stores within walking distance are absolutley useless. The HMV by me is like the only one not part of this 3DS promotion -_- and there are loads that are a part

-
So I'm guessing no One Piece to the U.S huh.
We got gypped from another One Piece game.
-
NB Australia's response for not releasing Gigant Battle. Well at least they actually said something rather then "I Dunno, LOL" like the pricks here.

Well perhaps you could console yourself with all that cool other merchandise you got.
