'Intellivision Lives!' will not be sold in GameStop stores, available through web store only

A Facebook posting by the folks behind Intellivision Lives! states that the DS version of the game won't be sold by GameStop, but the retail giant claims that isn't exactly true. According to the Intellivision Lives! devs, their publisher was informed by GameStop that the retailer would not carry the game because it didn't fit the store's demographics. Contacting GameStop, Joystiq was told by a corporate representative: "Intellivision Lives! DS will be available for purchase on GameStop.com." Ah, semantics.

A quick check of GameStop's website doesn't show a listing for the game at this time. Intellivision Lives! is scheduled for release sometime this month.
