UPDATE: Sin and Punishment Star Successor heading to Australia after all

*Conditions Apply: Sequels gets a limited release at JB Hi-Fi UPDATE: Its out now!

JB Hi-Fi has just posted on their site that they will be the only exclusive stockist of Sin and Punishment: Star Successor in Australia. This comes after news that Nintendo Australia told Kotaku AU that "Sin and Punishment is not currently on Australia and New Zealand’s release schedule." Well, it looks like it is now.

Update: We’ve phoned a few JB Hi-Fi’s in multiple states and while none in Perth had it in stock yet they said it would be later today. However Melbourne City store had some in stock already, looks like this one snuck in!

Oh and they only had 4 copies. Go go go!

There are a couple of catches though. There is a limited run of the game and it’s only available at JB Hi-Fi. We mean only JB as it will only be in a limited amount of stores and not available online. The stores it will be at are as follows:

– MELBOURNE CITY
– KNOX
– HIGHPOINT
– FRANKSTON
– PERTH CITY
– CHADSTONE
– RINGWOOD
– ADELAIDE CITY

While this is good news that we’re actually getting the game, it’s nearly laughable that a top tier game such as this gets such a limited run, this is something out of the GameCube era. Though if retailers won’t stock them, then what can Nintendo do?
