a) Yes, everything is obtainable first time around.
b) Technically no. Only a dozen or two figurines are missable,but they can all be obtained through Tingle bottles, but that leaves it to luck. One figurine that was formerly permanently missable if you got every other one first isn't anymore.
c) Not sure but I'm sure someone else has an answer.
You can use pictures from Miiverse!

After the rather painful firmware install - Wow - this game is just next level. Obviously the cel shading helps but really felt (now hope) like this may be the end for jaggies. The visual fidelity is awesome - if I was being picky sometimes you can notice a pixelated white line at the edge of a door and same sort of line when water meets rock (this is worse from a distance). And also noticed some criminal pop-in on the seas. But man, dont get it twisted, on a 50 inch new plasma with LPCM surround it just is a joyous treat retreading those steps once again.

Looks like EU got a serious server upgrade!

timezones. UK is an hour behind.
I am not exactly sure whom or what you are asking, but I got the speed mentioned above from EU Nintendo. Downloading from Germany to be exact.
[edit] After reading D-e-f's comment I get it.So, still Europe.

What happened to the option for shutting down the console when a download is complete?

They changed how background downloads work. Now you actually just go ahead and turn it off, while something is downloading. It will then turn itself back on in a different mode, noted by a yellow power light. It'll download until complete, install, then power itself off. It's the mode it goes into when it checks periodically (defaulted to every 1 hour) for updates while powered off.

Cheers. I may sell the code I'll be getting at lunchtime.
YAY! Limited Edition arrived. Figurine looks nifty. Just need to find a nice spot to display it. Will be a bit out of place with the Akari figures HA HA!
Out for most of the afternoon so I'll only be able to play for a bit before I leave, but I have the whole evening free.

£49.99 on the Eshop is a bot of a joke
I got the LE edition for £50.99!!
I choked on my corn flakes, 40 and I might be interested. It wasn't that long ago I played this on the GC again.
Bought the game at midnight, and it was ready to be played when I woke up extra early this morning so I could play it before work
And one thing I wanna say straight away : damn, this game sure looks gorgeous. I remember trying to the game at E3, but I didn't really have the time to look closely. Seriously, I just love how vibrant the colours are, the world really feels alive. It's wonderful. I haven't played much... actually, I have, but I spent about an 1h on that damn/wonderful island, trying to do pretty much everything I could (even sending little piggies to drown in the sea, nyark nyark nyark). Therefore, I can't say much about the gameplay at this point... but being able to change direction while using a rope is NICE.
Oh, but I got one major complaint about the game... it's about the sound. So, as usualy, I plugged a headset on the GamePad while playing on the TV screen. I launch the game. Oh boy, I love that title screen music. I also love that music during the intro. And then... paf. No more sound coming from the GamePad. Everything goes through the TV now, except sounds when using stuff on the GamePad (inventory and such).... But why? Why can't I have sound through the GamePad even while playing on the TV, like pretty much 95% of the Wii U games out there?... It's kinda annoying, since the sound coming from my TV is nowhere near as good as my headset. I hope it'll get patched somehow (I'm sure it's just something they forgot about), but I'm afraid that, by the time the patch is released, I'll already have finished the game.

Here is a really fantastic Ocean Theme Cover played with the accordion by Jackson Parodi!

The music in this game is really good!

I've seen that complaint mentioned a couple times on GAF. It's certainly valid ant probably the easiest thing ever to be patched in. You should let Nintendo know that's a feature you want.Bought the game at midnight, and it was ready to be played when I woke up extra early this morning so I could play it before work

Can I ask if anyone who ordered from ShopTo received their order yet?
Some parcels came here before... but I'm not sure they were delivered by the postman or not...
If it was, this is the first time EVER I havent had a game from ShopTo by release date. I wonder if Nintendo purposely sent the keyrings late to stop people getting it early... ha ha.
Well, luckily I can survive the wait, I'm finishing off Re-COM on Reverse/Rebirth, (Which I somehow enjoy a lot, I used to think of COM as one of the worst KH's and it still may be, but I can at least look at it now and say I enjoy it, where before I'd prefer to avoid it)
