Oh, Wal-Mart. Sure, we have to look out for falling prices and screaming children when we brave your fluorescent lights and giant parking lots, but we can almost always count on one of your stores, somewhere, breaking street date on a game. This time? It's the long-awaited, much-delayed Professor Layton and the Curious Village, so it seems somehow fitting that Wal-Mart may be releasing copies early. Yes, that's correct: they may be.
Here at DS Fanboy, we tried a few of our local stores, and they reported the game is not yet out, but it's apparently showing up as available on the store's website (though expedited shipping will cost you), and a commenter at GoNintendo reported that their local store has them and is planning on stocking them today. So take a chance and call your store if you're so inclined -- maybe you'll get lucky.

I know the stores have the shipments in because I just saw it in the stock room of the Target at which I work. It shipped in a box with the new blue DS's (also set for 02-10, at least at Target).

It's nice they seem to be releasing the game earlier than expected, but don't you wish their "mistake" on Brawl worked out this way, too?
