Now I know that you are thinking that I am talking about games that are cancelled, but I can assure you That I am not. These are games that are supposed to hit stores, but for some reason just never do. Here\'s a few examples.
1) Evil Dead Hail to the King for Dreamcast
This one hit stores in Mid December, yet one month later I cant find it at Toys R US, Babbages, Funcoland, and Best Buy.
2) The Grinch for Dreamcast
Alright I really don\'t want this one, but it was scheduled to be shipped to retail stores so that is just what I expect to happen, yet at all the stores I just mentioned above, this one is also not in.
3) There should be a total of 45 PS2 games out now right
I know because I went and counted them at IGN. But surprise surprise at my nearby Babbages they only sell around 10 PS2 games so the question is where the $#&* are the other 35? At Toys R Us they sell about 25-30 PS2 games, which means they are still missing 15-20. Same thing at Best Buy, and at Funco Land they even sell less PS2 games than Babbages.
So with all my points stated above I can only come to the conclusion that retailers are incompetent, and only sell the games they want to sell instead of giving all the games a fair chance. Of course this ticks me off, because what if I want a game, and they don\'t sell it? Then what am I supposed to do?

Well, I don\'t know about the DC game situation, but the missing PS2 games are probably developers holding out for the sacred March timeline.

I second to Cygnus XI.
BTW, that\'s a common feeling to me and the finns on this board because the PS2-game-shipment to finland is in complete stall! I mean, my hometown isn\'t getting any new games ( I think next shipment is coming on March )!
And I can\'t find those good released games anywhere...
I\'d like to buy Ready to Rumble boxing for PS2, but I think I\'m going to have to use a netshop...
