So after binge-watching The Runaway Guys Fortune Street videos, I thought that the game seemed fun and wanted to buy it for myself. However, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it, even though it should've been released in Europe too.
Today, however, I found it. There's an online store with a sister site that sells games for older consoles (For given value of "older"; The Wii isn't that old), and there, amongst the Wii games they offered, I finally found Fortune Street.
Or, as it turns out, Boom Street. Apparently the reason I couldn't find it is because it's not actually called Fortune Street over here. But nontheless, I'm stoked to have found it and bought it on the spot. It'll arrive sometime next week.
I had a similar experience with Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door some years ago. It's apparently stupidly rare in Sweden, and as such, it's more expensive now than it was when it was a new release or something. Not to mention, a bit hard to find. And I just happened to stumble upon it when searching for a new GameCube, as my old one was broken. So, with the GameCube and a copy of Luigi's Mansion, I got a hold of what's apparently a hard to get game. Life was good.
Also, stumbling upon Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on the same site as I found Fortune Street.
You know how it is, right? You find a game you looked for, and even if you can't afford it, you get this
to have it. You see that there are few in stock, a sense of panic, if I don't buy this now, they might run out of stock...
Ah, that last part was a bit unrelated. Sorry.
But anyway, my question: What games have you wanted that you looked for and finally found after a long time? Either by accidentally stumbling upon it or having the fruit of your searching efforts rewarded.
