We're taking this story with a grain of salt and a tall glass of milk. According to a press release from Data Design Interactive, two of their four budget Wii titles "already sold out within 3 days of release." Which two games sold out was not specified, but the four released were Ninjabread Man, Billy the Wizard, Anubis II, and Rock & Roll Adventure.We're going to assume that Ninjabread Man was one of the sellouts, because we kind of want to buy it. The identity of the other one pretty much doesn't matter. But this development leads to two obvious questions:
- Why would people who know better (this stuff was already released on PS2) go in for the same kind of punishment again?
- How many copies of each game were in the shipment? Four? Five?

ok everyone has been shouting at me since i saw ninja bred man as i have wanted to get a copy of it as soon as i saw it as it just looks so odd!!! and interesting
i think it could just be one of those guilty pleasures that we all enjoy having!
Thing is most of there games dont look that good unfortunately, and i hear alot of critisism about them but i remember back in the old 8 bit days that when you had budget titles that was the difference you accepted considering those games were made in about 1/4 of the time that most big games are made in.

Im from the UK, and yesterday I went into Game and Game Station, both of which had a large amount of those Ninjabread Man games on there shelves, It didn't look like there was much chance of them selling out.

I intend to purchase this game.
Assuming it's actually budget priced at under $30.
