Amazon digital method is the way to go. It's downloading now. I got to cart two times on the eshop and it crashed.

 

[RRockman]

I bet as with everything Switch this has nothing to do with intense Splatoon love, but they set up their servers that shittily.

Everything is shitty and half assed with the Switch.


I love it and its amazing, but god damn.

Nah this is pure demand. NO ONE is sleeping on splatoon this time. Literally I might add

 

[RagnarokX]

Guy's I got an idea. You all stop trying and I'll download the game and see if the coast is clear.

 

[Hatty]

It's gonna take two hours for me to download a 3GB game apparently

 

[Torokil]

Why don't ya'll just go to bed and download it in the morning

 

[A.J.]

Guys cut Nintendo some slack, imagine how many servers takes to handle so many people attempting to download a 3GB game.

It must be hell on all two of their servers.

I bought it there ages ago but can't redeem it on Nintendo.com.

Yes.
One at a time, you maniacs.

 

[Biske]

I dunno man, I mostly download everything as it comes out and I don't recall this ever happening before. Certainly not to this extent. And I'm talking 3DS/Wii U/Switch.

I'm saying for the same unknown reasons so much of the Switch is half baked, they probably half baked the online too and half baked the Splatoon 2 launch cause eeeeeeeeeh its just the Switch, we created an Eshop with less functionality, these fuckers will eat up anything, call it a night Joe.

 

[ClayKavalier]

Pretty incredible how the Switch continues to simultaneously be my favorite console and a frustrating piece of shit.

 

[Dombrowski]

Says I need 50 minutes to download the thing, a 3GB usually takes a few minutes on my connection, ugh. Are the Switch download speeds always this abysmal? Happened to me with ARMS also.

 

[RagnarokX]

 

[phanphare]

Squids 2 has been procured

let's go

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I've never downloaded ANY digital game that large in a few minutes, even on Steam, so it's fair to say your connection is much faster than most people's if I had to guess

 

[LambdaTeos]

meh.. will buy it tomorrow.. .a few hours won't make a difference

 

[flatearthpandas]

Says I need 50 minutes to download the thing, a 3GB usually takes a few minutes on my connection, ugh. Are the Switch download speeds always this abysmal? Happened to me with ARMS also.

Nah, it's sever issues probably. My download finished in like five minutes last night.

 

[Fantastical]

5 mins... Lol and I said I wouldn't stay up

 

[Strider]

Not quite this abysmal but yea... Download speeds generally suck on this thing

My 300 Mb connection usually gets like 2mb/sec when downloading stuff on Switch :/

 

[SgtWiggles]

E-Shop page fully loads then randomly errors out before I even click anything

 

[Shadow Broker]

That was the biggest cock teases I have ever experienced! I got in the eShop and was able to click the purchase for Splatoon 2 and it error me out as it process the info.

 

[Tater]

You can turn that off

I've got kids - having it remember my password is asking for trouble. And I can't even get into the eShop right now to at least temporarily remember it.

 

[LotusHD]

That "Nintendo dropped the ball" thread is feeling pretty accurate right about now lol

 

[69wpm]

Because some of us got shit to do tomorrow, and its not unreasonable to expect one of the big 3 companies to have their shit together to handle a midnight release on a game they knew would be popular.

Are you kidding me? Woke up early and now nothing but errors. Also cancelled my physical version. *shakesfistatnintendo*

 

[shanafan]

What's going on here?

 

[Forerunner]

I can't even get into the store now. Fuck it, time to go grind in D3.

 

[forrest]

Went for a workout, took my dog to the wash, got him all groomed, came home and took a shower, cooked some dinner, sat down to eat and download Splato...

Well fuck.

 

[DNAbro]

My favorite part of this was putting my info in and then getting kicked out and now I have a 60$ pending charge on my card but idk if I actually got the eshop credit.

 

[ryushe]

That "Nintendo dropped the ball" thread is feeling pretty accurate right about now lol

Right lol

 

[RedEther]

Managed to type the whole code in only for it to give me an error when I pressed redeem lol

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I eventually got through and redeemed my code. Downloading now. Stay strong friends!

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

Meh, will try to buy it via my phone in the morning. Crappy part is that I won't be able to download it until after work tomorrow.

Ah well, technology never works 100% of the time. Best of luck for those waiting to download tonight.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Awww yeah!

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I still can't even see the white of the eShop screen.

 

[AEREC]

What's going on here?

Id like to know too.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I bought it there ages ago but can't redeem it on Nintendo.com.

Shit. I was having troubles too. Got lucky after a few minutes of trying.

Download time is 35 minutes. :/

 

[Torokil]

What's going on here?

Guy blew an airhorn and scared her.

 

[Fantastical]

What's going on here?

Is the card a squirt gun or something?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I don't get why the server crashed for a game that will sell Wonderful 101 numbers.

Dicks in the truck used a train horn after coming up to the window.

Pfft, what a nerd lol

 

[WiiRevolution1]

TWENTY THREE MINUTES! I can't take this anymore. I have to play now. I'm literally just hitting eShop over and over again. There is literally nothing else I can do but play Splatoon 2, yet Nintendo won't let me. I'm so sad right now. T_T

 

[Blackie]

Tears of ink. Please download!

 

[rudger]

Downloading now!

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

5 more minutes to finish downloading...

 

[Rezbit]

So many people either DCing or quitting, getting a 0p, 0 splats performance most games at the moment. Hope it's not a thing.

 

[talkingood]

Hahaha, this really hit home for me. Same here my friend.

Also hey, a fellow Pogo fan!
