Official shipping date is 5-30-08 in us. Due to Gamestops shipping delays. You will likely see the game in stores on Monday. 6-2-08

Chaos Wars features dual audio and should be out in May. I would definitely reccomend going for the original Japanese with English Subs tho.

Being that the ad was in an April issue, I’m a little that this Chaos Wars thing could be a joke.

“While it’s interesting that the game is GameStop exclusive, it’s not completely strange, either. Most gamers interested in a title as niche as this probably aren’t going to go looking for the game at Wal-Mart anyway.”

“Iâ€™m not trying to say that the game is GameStop exclusive just because itâ€™s niche. In fact I never said anything of the sort.”

Hmmm…

But seriously, I knew what you meant. It goes without saying that this game would not work as a Wal-Mart exclusive, because it is niche as hell. I wasn’t trying to comment on any one retailer holding exclusive rights, because as a consumer I think that sucks. As I said before I was looking forward to purchasing it from Best Buy. Instead I have to give money to Gamestop, which I don’t like doing.

P.S.:

“GameStop caters specifically to gamers, and it makes more sense for it to be an exclusive title there than at a place like Wal-Mart or Target.”

Since Gamestop caters to gamers, then wouldn’t it make sense for them to be the only place to have exclusives? Hopefully that would help sales of Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol 2.

I’m not trying to say that the game is GameStop exclusive just because it’s niche. In fact I never said anything of the sort. I’m just saying that it’d be a bit more strange to see Chaos Wars as a Wal-Mart exclusive than a GameStop exclusive. GameStop caters specifically to gamers, and it makes more sense for it to be an exclusive title there than at a place like Wal-Mart or Target.

Levi:
Yeah, so the statement about it being a Gamestop exclusive just because it is a niche title doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…
The game was on Bestbuy.com last year (a dead link can still be found via search, or at least it still could a week ago when I last checked,) and stores like BB or Circuit City usually have budget titles like SNK’s Art Of Fighting Anthology for the correct MSRP whereas Gamestop usually debuts evrything at $19.99.
Furthermore, Gamestop isn’t even stocking every small publisher’s titles, as shown by the lack of recent UFO releases in U.S. stores. Heavenly Guardian for the PS2 – U.S. Gamestops never stocked the game online or in stores (although I’ve heard Canadian stores did.) It appears that they will also bypass UFO’s Wii shooter the Monkey King, as it’s UPC has not been loaded in Gamestop’s computers…
So in summation, Gamestop (a) doesn’t stock every niche title available in spite of being the undisputed conglomerate of video games in North America, (b) often jacks up prices $5-10 on budget titles they do stock, and (c) further annoy me by unwrapping a large portion of their games, thus netting me less profit when flipping titles on e-Bay, which in turn results in me making fewer purchases from their stores (I doubt I’m the only person that this affects…) While I am excited that Chaos Wars will see an U.S. release, I just wish I didn’t have to support that no-talent assclown of a corporation known as Gamestop.

We don’t know if there’s any voice audio at this point. O3 Entertainment isn’t exactly known as the big budget publisher to watch for. They may have removed the voice acting altogether.
