alright.... need Robin, Lucina, and Inkling... I want both Inklings but I'll probably just get one, they aren't different enough that I can justify having both for $16 each.

Uh, lots of places will be open tomorrow. People should double check their local stores. I know where I live(Western Canada), most stores will be open.

Most stores close on Good Friday. You can find news stories yearly stating what is open and close don Good Friday.

Entire malls close:

Eaton Centre is open though: http://www.torontoeatoncentre.com/en/centreinfo/Pages/CentreHours.aspx as they are a tourist attraction. If you're in Toronto you can try preordering from there tomorrow.

I assume standalone stores will be open... too bad the only one near me is in a mall. Maybe this is a dumb Ontario thing.

They probably won't be. Even the one Bluth is talking about may not open. He just posted above.

I called them.

My location is debating opening up tomorrow morning for a couple hours to do pre-orders. So double check with your local stores!

Call first.

Walmarts close. Best Buys close.

Once in a while you will run across a store that manages to stay open but most places are closed tomorrow.

Yeah there are 2 in town here, one is in a mall and definitely won't open since the entire mall will be closed. The 2nd one is a separate store so they are currently debating coming in tomorrow to do it.

Online pre-orders are confirmed for tomorrow!

And there we go.

It's going to be tough. Most people will be inside with nothing to do.

Saturday morning for preorders then? My local EB at Waterloo says that they have no idea when these preorders will go up. If you're sure about this, I might just go Saturday morning anyway.

The 2 stores I called here in Thunder Bay, Ontario confirmed online pre-orders tomorrow and in store pre-orders first thing when they open on Saturday.

No details on when tomorrow for online.

Called my Eb Games in Niagara Falls and they told me they aren't doing pre orders on Wave 4. Is this happening to anyone else?

I've given up on calling my local EB Games for anything. No one there, not even the manager, knows shit

maybe I should just call a different EB.

Might be a District/Store Manager choice, they don't want angry mobs coming in.

Also they're not really supposed to tell people when preorders go up, they're instructed to tell people to follow EBgames on social media. The company just doesn't enforce it yet.

In America? I think it's Target. Here? We'll that remains to be seen.


EDIT:

Someone remember to use Pushbullet, when preorders go up, so those of use that aren't checking the thread aren't left out of the loop.

Same with my local EB Games in Vancouver. I consider that a good thing if I can't pre-order online. Gives me the chance the day the Ness Amiibo releases.
