What…what country am I in again?
Imagine my surprise. I’m waiting in line at a Yodobashi game store in Shinjuku, Tokyo to purchase my copy of Atlus’ latest release,Catherine, for PS3. Out of nowhere, a store attendant jumps in front of me in line, excuses himself, and removes the stand-in empty boxes for the PS3 version ofTwo Worlds II. Then he goes to the store pricing display signage and places a “sold out” sticker over the signage for the PS3 version of Two Worlds II.
I remember seeing a guy in front of me pick up a box forTWIIand thought it was strange that he was the lone western game buyer in a line of a bunch of people with eitherCatherineorMarvel vs. Capcom 3in hand. It seems he wasn’t alone, though. What is going on here?
I’m sure this was just an isolated event, but it was still surprising. I know where my dollars went today, though.That’s not to say thatTwo Worlds IIis a bad game.
Also, LOLOL at the store’s mispronunciation of company name Ubisoft. It’sYOU-be-soft. The store has it where it readsU-B-I-soft.
