Quote:Hi,
I'm currently sorting through release records for the Nintendo DS, and I came across B-Units: Build It!, developed by Corecell around 2011. Unfortunately, I can't find any solid information about its release, or any copies of the game.
Was B-Units actually released for the Nintendo DS (or any platform), or was it canceled? I saw on Corecell's Facebook gallery some cover art for a European release, and it looks like the product code is "NTR-BHLP-UKV", but the resolution isn't clear.
Any chance Corecell has some information about this game you could share?
Regards,
-Jim.

Thanks for contacting me.
Finally B-Unit built it didnt be released even though it passed the submission.
We dont know why , we guess that during that time 505games got the new cash cow from other game so they want all the money to produce the cartridge for other game.
Thanks again for contacting us.
Best Regards,

I sent a follow-up email, asking for clarification on the Wii release, and if they had any builds of the game, but didn't hear back from them. I also contacted 505Games, and after a bit of back and forth was told that "we do not have readily accessible info regarding older titles. With these requests, we usually escalate internally to ask for more information, but even then, it might not always pan out."
As for barcodes and the like:
Play-Asia still has a product listing for the North American Wii release, with boxart and a barcode - 0812872012148. They also have a German version, but no barcodes.
Corecell's Facebook gallery has an inlay of a UKV Wii release, with the barcode 8023171022697, and a product code that's difficult to make out; SHJP-UKV? SIUP-UKV?
