Just got an Email from Nintendo Consumer Service regarding the pricing error in the eShop

Hello,

Thank you for your recent purchase and download of LEGO® City Undercover for Wii U from the Nintendo eShop. Due to a data-entry error, the price of this game was initially set at $59.99. We intended to set the price at $49.99 and have made the correction in the Nintendo eShop. We are taking steps to quickly refund you the difference. You will receive a $12 refund applied either to your credit card or to your account in the Nintendo eShop, depending on your form of payment. This amount covers the difference in price as well as any applicable taxes. We apologize for this inconvenience.

This refund will be processed in the next 24 hours. If you paid from a balance in your Nintendo eShop account, your credit will appear within 24 hours. If your payment method was credit card, it may take up to two billing cycles to appear on your statement. We thank you for your patience. Enjoy your game!

...I paid with both eshop credit and credit card..what do I get?

Awesome!

Hopefully we can put those conspiracy theories to bed.

Nintendo customer service still #1.

 

[darkressurection]

Good work Nintendo, quick turn around on that refund

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

The amount of personal property damage in this game is monstrous.

 

[JDSN]

Holy shit that Red monologe, I need this game and a WiiU now. Shame about that OCD guy playing.

 

[Dicer]

Shawbrick Redemption

 

[DarkWish]

Yup, got the email. Yay!

 

[PhantomR]

That's because Nintendo consumer service = The shit.

 

[BioHazard]

george fartardbensonbury?!

 

[Like the hat?]

Is there any way to quick snap the camera behind the player, or my only option the analog stick?

 

[DaBoss]

The stream was good. The game looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Drager]

Hey, I am pretty sure the slowness is because of the eshop, but try playing with the channel settings of the router. I did and I get better download speeds from my PS3, Wii U and Youtube.

Preloading assets is something I expect in the future. The day of release you just download the unlock key, some KBs at most, then ready to go.

The slowness is just Nintendo in general. I have a 30Mbit cable connection and my router is plenty fast and downloading anything on the eShop is as slow as a dog.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Only thing I dislike about the game, is the slow camera turn. But other then that, really enjoying it.

 

[Cru Jones]

Got the email too.

Funny thing happened, I checked 2 hours ago what the download progress was and it was 27% with an estimated 27 hours to go. My Wii isn't exactly in a great spot for my wifi in the house so it doesn't bother me that much. However, I just checked it and now it's saying it is only 24% done and 38 hours to go. How is it even possible to regress?

 

[eznark]

This is the slowest download ever. Holy shit.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

This is the slowest download ever. Holy shit.

NOA even under estimated the eShop demand. :lol

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Is there any way to save manually? Auto saving is annoying if you just want to grind for more studs.

 

[Kai Dracon]

So small note. I pulled the trigger on this the moment they fixed the eshop price. Just now I went to check the digital promotion site to see if the points showed up yet (to get a coupon for Monster Hunter), and behold: I got the points for $59.95 instead of $49.95.

100 free points, so hax, ha ha.

 

[olimpia84]

Finally done. Streaming it http://www.twitch.tv/jpbrowncoat

Looks fun but dem loading times...

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Looks like a ton of fun. Driving looks difficult though

Yeah not my favorite driving controls.

Looks fun but dem loading times...

Yeah some are kinda long. At least the missions are pretty long.

I got 599 points too. Since I'm getting a refund, I also got 100 free points!

 

[CrisKre]

Just finished the prison. This game just got awesome. So much fun. It's really well done too!

Hey, I'm thinking of picking this game up in a few weeks. How's the framerate? I know the trailer videos were pretty spotty. And how's the length/scale of the game? I remember people grumbling about the map.

Only the very first trailers had framerate issues. The majority have been fine. I haven't noticed any drops so far. I heard the game is 15-20 hours if you concentrate on the story, but we can't really confirm that yet.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

The $12 credit has already been applied to my account. Thanks for the free $2, plus the free 100 Deluxe points towards my next $5 gift card. The people that paid $59.99 end up on top in the end.

I'll stay tuned then, but sounds like good news!

With the free $2, you are virtually getting the rest of the 0.30c games literally for free with 0.50c change to spare !!!

 

[Krakatoa]

Wow this game is really pretty at times. I love the flash light on the miner.

Great game.

Spoiler

I know kung fool

[SteveWinwood]

So I guess I must be missing something. I seem to be unlocking all these different dudes but I can't use them in a disguise booth. Do I have to buy them first? If so where? Same with cars?


Edit: nevermind figured it out.

 

[friskykillface]

Looks fun but dem loading times...

yeah, only disappointing thing i have seen so far.

i hope Nintendo will allow us to install games in the future, physical games, it would make the loading faster i think.


but i am so hyped for later haha B^) lego time

 

[WiiRevolution1]

This is and no off TV play are holding me back from this one...for now.

Me too. I kinda wanna get it now but I think I'll wait till it hits $20 on amazon.

Now the 3DS version I think I'll probably get day 1 since it has off tv play. Hope its good.

 

[Xander51]

I'm enjoying all the references here to what I presume is the plot of the 3DS version. I'm impressed at the level of care put into world-building here, even for games so silly. This is TT Fusion's magnum opus.

 

[Christberg]

Really fun little title. Decent jokes, interesting scenarios, decent graphics.

Load times aren't great but I can live with them.

 

[Xander51]

The load times are certainly helped by the funky music. I just kind of sit there and bop to it.

 

[B-Dex]

Kung Fool is a great mission. Helps that it unlocks the rest of your combat abilities too.

 

[megabytecr]

Wow, finally bought the HDD and the game to join on the fun!
Now I play the waiting game with some mass effect and work.

 

[Omzz]

Im getting quite a few chuckles out of this game and loving the references too. Liking it a lot so far

[megabytecr]

17%, long wait, 09:52 left .... bye zzzzzz!!

 

[Always-honest]

Got to ask. Does the game have good anti aliassing or is it really jaggy?

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I just noticed LCU was able to overcome Edge's outlier-y low score and now has a solid 80% on metacritic.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

man that sleep was good woke up and saw the NOA email that they are giving back $12 to all affected

time for me to go explore this world now that I am up at 5am

Jagfest.

 

[dwu8991]

18 hours seems a rather short campaign experience - would take about a week to finsh given the easy difficulty
