Okay my Email says all 3 games in the order were shipped. The others being Link Between Worlds and Mario 3D World Which where shipped previously when they came out. Will be interesting to see what's in the package and if I'm being charged twice.
Two free games would be nice though.

Mario Kart 8 is the kind of game you'd want to go digital for anyhow.
Always have it in your system for a quick and convenient spin no matter what other game you're playing.
And it's not like you're going to trade that game in. It's a Nintendo staple.

Mine just received a tracking number from FS, but yeah, I still may go digital with this. Going to trade some stuff in at EB towards eshop credit tonight.

Will GAF be doing any big MK8 game nights? I'd love to get in on those.

Mine shipped as well.
Crossing fingers for tommorow but you never know with Canada Post. Normally it doesn't bother me so much but with Nintendo releasing games on Fridays that means Monday if CP is slacking.
Ninty pls what's wrong with thursday >_>
EDIT: Oh, and I'm looking to fill my friend list as well! I think my username on Wii U is Sevenx, so I'll accept anybody

because it's almost totally empty
I feel like I'm the only person in this thread without a Wii U.
And yet I don't feel peer pressured to purchase one, either.
(I'm sure new X footage at E3 in a couple weeks may alter that mindset.)
I'm still banking on a price cut @ E3
And I missed em D: didn't have money then.
I know I can get a used 8gb for $200 but I'd rather wait and see how the next few weeks plays out.
Hopefully everyone is not tired of MK8 by then!
Don't complain through emails, make it public on twitter.
I'll wait and see if they accidentally sent me free copies of LBTW and 3D World by mistake or not

Hate to break it to you but they won't, same happened to me with Demon Gaze and Kirby TD but I only got the last game no duplicates.

Did anybody here order this driving wheel to go with Mario Remote?

Amazon shipped it to me today, what bugs me though is the fact that Luigi's one won't be out for a month, can't find a reason to why they would do that!
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00K278IWS/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SS115
Any way it's not a deal but I thought it goes with how MK spirit is floating over this thread!

Can't remember who was talking about Peach remotes, but I saw one at Shoppers of all places. It was $40.

Was going to pay a visit to Future Shop tomorrow, but have just decided to download it tonight.

A CanadaGAF lobby sounds awesome. You have my axe.
MK8 shipped!
Same here! HYPE!!!
Can't believe we end up paying 45$ total for this, compared to the price it is today, feels even more good.

Exactly the same thing just happened to me, minus ALBW. Guess I'll have to return the extra 3D World in-store (unless it's free of charge obviously, which I highly doubt).
Apparently my order has been shipped from FS.
NNID: nanamontana
edit:nvm they say it's been shipped but it hasn't even been accepted yet =/. Probably won't be in till monday. I don't know why shipment is always delayed with FutureShop but at least its %33 off
Same deal with my order. Canada Post tracking can't even find my tracking number yet.
Edit: And just as I post that the status changed to item processed
I'm getting real tired of Future Shop's shit.
I put in a bunch of orders last E3. My credit card was due to expire between the E3 sale and when some of the items on my orders shipped, so I put in a garbage future date for one, and my actual expiration for the other (as one item came out before expiry). As soon as I got my new card, I called in got all of my orders updated to the new expiration date. I had to call in because their website doesn't let you update expiration dates and hasn't for as long as I can remember.
I then check my e-mail when Super Mario 3D World releases, and see a notification asking me to update my information as they were unable to process the order. I have to call in, of course, because the website is (still) janky. I call in and double-check both outstanding orders -- neither order has the updated CC info. The CC info is updated on both as per that call.
A week later I get an advisory that my order for SM3DW was /cancelled/ because billing continued to fail. I call in AGAIN (since I still can't fix it on the website) and find out that the old expiration date is still on /both orders/. I get the orders with outstanding components updated YET AGAIN but get told I will have to re-order SM3DW online and will have a credit posted to my account. I do so, get it eleventy billion days after release, and get my credit, but nothing else for their bullshit.
Fast-forward to today -- I get home, open my e-mail looking for the shipping info for Mario Kart 8, and there's another fucking e-mail advising me that they could not process the billing information. I call in again (because I can't update it on the website) and find out that order STILL HAS THE OLD EXPIRATION DATE (but hey the other order, which was the SM3DW order, is updated). I get it updated and now am twiddling my goddamn thumbs waiting for this shit to arrive.
I am really salty right now, and I have no Twitter account to go @whine about their @bullshit.

Ouch. That's really rough.
Sorry if this is a dumb question; first time buying a major retail release on e-shop on Wii U. Is it my timezone they're referring to when they say 'midnight release' on the storefront? Don't recall ever setting timezone/location info for it.
edit; nvm found out. 12am eastern apparently

Subete no aware
On a similar note, Nintendo basically adjusted all their prices on the eShop for the Canadian dollar now I guess?

I got a PS4 game called Watch Dogs in the mail.
I think so yeah
+$5 for retail games, and +10% for eShop games, or thereabouts
Well fuck. I was holding out on digital being cheaper. The one time Nintendo has a grasp on staying current and it has to be with dollar value BS ;(

Is PS4 an indie publisher? I've never heard of them working for Nintendo before =/
Got my MK8 email! Rubbing my hands together uttering "Good... good.." now
My Mario Kart has been processed too, if I don't get it tomorrow though I'm just going to go buy a copy and return whenever the FS one comes by. I added erryone that posted their NNID.
