I just bought a copy of Sakura Wars for the Wii last night for $15.99 at a Best Buy in Austin. They had three copies.
As I type this I realize that I'm an idiot and I should have asked them to do a district lookup to see which stores might still have it in stock. The $15.99 is a $4 clearance price reduction.
There is no trace of the game on the Best Buy website, so I'm honestly not sure if anyone else will benefit from this, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to do a heads up, even if this ends up being a One Guy Got Lucky, Nothing To See Here, Move Along Now kind of a thread.
The BB SKU is 9806935, so I'd recommend calling a store and getting them to do a lookup for you of any stores in the vicinity that may have it.
I looked for the PS2 version but I didn't see it in, not that I was expecting to. Their PS2 stock was as threadbare as usual. I'm still surprised to find Sakura Wars in their Wii stock. I had thought the game was a bit too niche for them to consider carrying.
From what I've read, there's a lot of discussion regarding the quality of the localization by NIS America. Something else to consider.
Good luck, I hope some of you who want in on this manage to get the game.
