Ni No Kuni Preorder Fiasco


Ni No Kuni Preorder Fiasco

Luckily, I got my standard copy of Ni No Kuni from GameStop and didn’t have to put up with this mess.  I understand Namco-Bandai’s position, but they just aren’t handling this very well at all.  There are no doubt hundreds if not thousands of dissatisfied customers out there, many of whom are fuming about essentially being shafted.

And their solution? Providing a $20 clubNamco voucher and the special edition game guide?  First of all, its obviously a PR move to try and get the miffed customers to go back and buy more Namco products.  Good luck with that.  Secondly, you’re giving a strategy guide to someone for the game they will not be getting…  If that’s not a slap in the face, I don’t know what is!

It's too bad this mess has tainted the release of this awesome game.

I know some of you are going through this unfortunate situation.  Did you get your preorder?  If not, what have been your options?  How do you feel about the way Namco is handling this?  Discuss in the comments below.
