Where to get Budokai Tenkaichi 3 early

Post by the1payday » Wed Nov 28, 2007 2:33 pm

I thought I would make this topic in the hopes that we could get a list going of stores that have already started selling Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for the Wii. If anyone sees the game on the shelves somewhere, they could post what store and what state they saw it, here on this thread. Many stores like
Wal-Mart and other large stores like it usually will put games that aren't major releases on the shelves as soon as they get their shipment. Here's to other Sparking! Meteor fans that want to get the English release early.

Haha....I had completely forgotten I even made this topic since no one responded....I actually got my copy Friday night at GameStop. They have released the game early at nearly all of their locations, as many users have already said.

My first 2 or 3 hours of BT3 were VERY frustrating, but once you get used to it, it is really fun. All of you lovers of the BT2 control scheme for Wii better get ready to be disappointed though. Eventually everything feel's like it did though and you'll be killing opponents in no time. The only thing I still find extremely frustrating and annoying are the smash attacks. Does anyone have any good advice for doing them?

Yeah, the new control scheme on Wii is a bit upsetting. They tried to fix something that ain't broke so it seemed anway.

Anyone else having frustrations with online play? For me it's very slow and buggish, I've never seen online play be this slow (framerate tkes a major dive and control is at very unresponsive levels). Is this just me, or is this everyone?

It's happening to everyone. It was thought that the servers weren't all up yet and that it might take some time for it to get resolved.

I suppose I'll have to give it some time before I try to review the game then, since that alone was irking the hell out of me (I reviewed BT2 a week or so ago on my site and was looking forward to netplay on 3 xD).
