I got it on launch day. No one would drive me, so I walked through the cold for over an hour to get to the GameStop and buy it, and then an hour back. My legs were aching. Then I got it taken away when I got back, because "I didn't have permission to walk and get it". Luckily, while I was visiting my Mom around 5 days later, she let me get it. Best Buy had around 8 copies, while GameStop had zero... except that it was the same shop I went to to get it the first time. Maybe there is a customer limit? Anyway, I couldn't play it until I got my Wii back from Dad or bought a new one (thanks to my 15-year old brother who actually told on me <_<). Eventually, I got a new Wii, and I popped that thing in and played the heck out of it. Nice little collection, although that was WAY too much trouble to get it.
The soundtrack was short, though. They used up less than half of what they could have used. T_T

Acknowledging that it was a limited-edition release, I'm shocked they made as few as they did in the first place. Nintendo is usually pretty good at estimating its market, but to have a "new" Mario game virtually sold out a week before Christmas meant a lot of lost sales.

Yeah it was a lost of sales but they did say Limited-edition. To be honest the only people I have heard complain are the people who sat around and waited for the game to come out. Everyone that I know that put a reserve in when it was announced got a copy. Places like Gamestop and Target and Amazon advertised for weeks about the preorder. So if people missed out.......
