    Released or shipped? Which one? Shipped means the stores receive their stock, released means they're cleared to sell it. usually it isn't released until everyone got stock so there's no unfair advantages for those closer to the distribution centre.

    So what's doin' with this game? Internet rumourzzz suggest it's already discontinued.

    KDR_11kJuly 23, 2005

    Apparently some stores won't sell it but others do. Dunno why. Perhaps Majesco didn't pay the protection fee to the mob or something.

    Yes, the game is super rare now, apparently after the failures of psychonaughts and Advent Rising (Neither for the GCN) it resulted in abysmal sales which caused investors to sue Majesco.

    Its rumored that they're getting close to call bankruptcy, brace yourselves, and if you want Nanostray, good luck finding it.

    Jesus, what'd Majesco do with the bajillions of crazy buxxx they got from those stupid mega popular GBA Video? Toilet paper? face-icon-small-sad.gif

    Pay off the MPAA because media cartels eat about 90% of the money you make if you try doing business with them?
