Question I have waiting for Rocket for a long time and when I went in to buy it at my local store they told me it wasn't coming out until the 18th. So I went back in on the 18th and they had only gotten one copy of the game and it was on hold! Why is it that some stores only got one copy and do you know where I can get a copy?

Answer

There was a shipping delay that pushed the release date back to November 18th in some areas. We walked into a store on the 18th and they were actually unpacking the Rocket boxes as we walked in the door. As for where you can get a copy of the game if your local retailer are not carrying it, or ran out of copies (which is most likely the case), you can search for Rocket: Robot on Wheels at your favorite search engine, or visit you favorite online store. Just how bad do you want the game? Go back to your store, again, and again, and again. Bug 'em. Make 'em order more. And make your mom ask for the manager each time you do this!


Question

I've seen several different release dates for Rocket. Some places say Nov. 9th and others say Nov. 16th. Which one is accurate, or is it today, the 12th? I looked at a few stores yesterday and didn't see it.

Answer

November 12th is the correct date for the United States. In Europe, it will be released Dec. 15 due to delays in production. We apologize for this, as the original release date was for Europe was Dec. 3.


Question

About six months ago, I saw all kinds of great previews about a game called Sprocket. Now I find out that it's being called Rocket: Robot on Wheels. Why did you change the name from Sprocket to Rocket: Robot on Wheels?

Answer

Because of lawyers. We didn't want to, but we were told by our lawyers that we had to. Don't you know that everything you don't want to do is because of lawyers? If your mom or dad is a lawyer, you'd know what I mean.


Question

How come the developers of Rocket call themselves Sucker Punch? What is a Sucker Punch anyway?

Answer

What's the point of being in the games business if you can't have a cool name for your company? And look up the definition of Sucker Punch yourself. I'm not your mom..
