Phoenix Wright re-print non-existent?

[Ace Harding: Private Eye]

A month ago, Capcom supposedly re-printed the game and said it would once again be available in stores, yet I've had no luck finding it. Have all the reissues sold out in just a month?
I was wondering if anyone has been able to find a copy since they made this announcement. I've tried Gamestops, EB, Fry's and Best Buy. Even Amazon doesn't stock it new.

I've not seen it new in store since I bought it in October. And then I only saw the one copy I bought...

I know my local Rhino got a copy or two.. but that was it.

I don't believe there was ever a reprint. All Capcom said was "We have a bunch of copies of this game sitting in our warehouse that no one is ordering." So I'm sure some stores eventually ordered more, but that's about it.

It wasnt a reisssue, it was left over stock.

Wal-mart was selling it, and it was a pretty good sized thread here for a week or so.

I've seen it around.

Yeah, I snagged a copy from walmart.com when the "reissue" was announced. It went out of stock not long after.

If you go here http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/NTR-P-AGYE.html

they say they expect another production run in May

"please note that a new USA production of the game is scheduled to ship from Capcom USA in 3-4 weeks (Early to Middle of May) and we'll restock at that time."

I dunno if its just for them or for all retailers

If the reprint happens, you'll find it in any shops who've reordered.

My local Rhino also only got one copy...which I quickly bought.

If all else fails and you really want the game, you can just import the Japanese one instead. If I recall NCSX also made mention of the fact that you can toggle the language option over to English and off you go, if need be.

Don't run out and buy a copy based on that suggestion, though. I'm only around 90% sure about that one.

My local gamestop's manager said they still haven't received a single new copy even though they tried to, and that it was still showing up as "discontinued"...but if they do actually run off a new batch, I'm sure it will be much easier to find, and I'd finally consider getting it.
