A number of video game stores in Brazil who sold Pokemon X & Y to customers early will be penalised, says Nintendo. The pamphlet states that if a store begins selling the games prior to October 12th Nintendo will withhold future product shipments until after their intended release date. This means that those stores will no longer receive games before release date. A lot of people who pre-ordered Pokemon X & Y online have already started to receive their copy of the game. The game officially launches tomorrow.
Online stores are safe cuz is just luck that people received earlier.
Yes great voice of reason. good morning sir/lady. Nintendo Ninjas are not a myth.
Good morning to you too gamer. Lol
i got my copy 2 weeks before the public so suck it game freak!
Well i guess the only one to blame is Canada and Italy stores that sold it way before time. It made Nintendo get really strict about.
Are really this uninformed?
This is common practice in the industry in general, not just Nintendo.
Don’t forget the U.A.E. !
Don’t look at the first pic
I mean that…. umm…. NINTENDO PLZ DON’T PENALIZE THIS STORE!
The first pic is fake
They also got the 2ds! http://distilleryimage7.s3.amazonaws.com/2a0158bc31c211e3988322000a1ddbb4_7.jpg
People who preordered it got it in Mexico too…
Nobody can honor the fact of a GLOBAL LAUNCH. Sheesh.
Good. Penalize them ALL and make some more money, Nintendo lol! Helps in the long run if you think about it. I wonder if they’ll add the penalty compensation to Pokemon X and Y’s overall amount of money made?
I do not know why Big N cares.
But I also picked up my copy today.
Well basically all major retailers in the UK (Tesco, GAME, HMV, etc) have started selling X/Y today in stores. I wonder if they’ll get penalised?https://twitter.com/GAMEBrizzle/status/388584693069008896
Nah, Tesco apparently broke the street date first, Game were told to sell because otherwise they’d lose sales
Don’t ever underestimate the power of High Command…
Precisely Commander.
Pokemon X and Y; to break sales record for most money made through penalization fees lol!
I wonder if this will effect another world release for pokemon
Gamestop did that same thing atleast in Finland and sold Pokemon early.
What?

I’m all for penalizing a store for breaking street date, Nintendo, but maybe that isn’t the best choice when you have a console that’s currently tanking.
Pokemon X and Y has nothing to do with Wii U sales…
Originally, i was going to say the same thing to this person. Though, i realized i believe he’s speaking about how Nintendo won’t sent the games to retailers till the scheduled release date, which may not be a smart idea, since it would hurt the Wii U more than whats been happening.
It’s against our empire’s laws…
While Pokemon X and Y doesn’t have anything to do with Wii U sales, these places could say to Nintendo We will just not sell your products any more and that would hurt Nintendo more now than ever since the Wii U is selling like crap everywhere in the World.
No, but the penalty for breaking XY street date does.
You didn’t even read my comment properly, did you?
Tanking, really, on the contraire my friend. The WiiU is rising, and the 3DS is selling every thing released on it.
Wii U is still tanking, even with the slight little boost it got from WindWaker.
Good they deserve the penalization for that
Good. it’s honestly really unfair of retailers to do this, it was just such a cool idea of having everyone experiencing everything on the same day, something i was hoping to carry over to Smash Bros. I doubt they’ll do that anymore, because of all these problems they are running into. *sigh*
Playing it right now, and enjoying it a great deal! Look forward to it guys, GameFreak outdid themsleves!
Damn that gets me even more hyped to play get it :D
Na verdade, isto está acontecendo por causa dos incidentes em outros países, e aqui se enviou antes por causa da greve dos correios, o que fez algumas pessoas receberam antes, já que algumas lojas online enviam alguns dias antes para que chegue na data de lançamento.
Matheus said that the earlier selling of the game would have happened because some stores mailed them to buyers even earlier, in order to avoid problems related to the mailers strike that is happening here.
Well, In my opinion, preordering an item means that it will be available from that date on, if you ordered by mail, you shall get it some days later, if you want to get it on day one, you should go to the store by yourself.
As a brazilian, I do hope that something happens to all those who sold it earlier, no matter the reason.
Good morning Nintendo Commander.
I got it today, playing it right now. IMMENSE , nuff said.
Keep playing Keep playing.
Butthurt nerd troll ^
Why Butthurt?
Have you changed or something or are you still the new annoying asshole on the block?
Nintedward Svenson has Changed. 85% Nintendo supporter now is he.
morning by the way.
Chose your words wisely…. oh crap screw this. THAT WHAT SHE SAID!
HUE BR
It is out in some part of the world at least now.
penis-ised
Also Mexican retail store Gameplanet started selling it yesterday
Games released this week are most likely under permission from Nintendo so they do not lose sales is the ones who are selling them since last month that have to take care.
you do pokemon to wii u just works only on gamepad
PenaliZed?
pokemon to wii u would be so good
Well, with online shops it’s just plain luck, because sometimes the post is fast, sometimes it’s slow. Got my copy today. But also heard of people who got their copy on Wednesday and that actually sucks a lot. That’s not what a worldwide release is for. So some German shops are selling the games early, too~

Reblogged this on Curiosidades na internet.
I got my copy today and played already 2 hours, and i see people from japan, south korea, germany, netherlands, spain chatting. if nintendo does it they will have to deal with a lot of stores worldwide lol
Now if only they shown this much initiative with third parties shunning the U and “indie devs” making bogus games using their characters
What a bunch of jerks. The early releasers and leakers, not Nintendo.
Seems to be a growing trend.
I don’t know why they’re reacting to this now. The games have been delivered early for years.
October 12th in what country? It’s October 12th right now where I’m at.
HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
Had to be in Brazil –‘
