Now we wait.

My shitty satellite connection + bad weather could make this a hour download. :/

 

[Ridley327]

Downloading now. Don't know how I'm going to find time to play this with MH3U having its claws firmly entrenched in me, but I will make every effort to do so.

Speaking of MH3U, I have that game to thank for Luigi's Mansion 2 being a bit easier on the wallet!

 

[campfireweekend]

I added my name to the spreadsheet. Add me fellow weegi bros!

 

[Oxymoron]

This game is really huge. I had to clean out my fridge before I could start the download.

 

[WatTsu]

Server is getting wailed on right now, I bet. Download is pretty slow.

Oh well, it's to be expected. No big deal.

 

[DaBoss]

Downloading now!

Then I shall try. When I'm at my computer I can add you folks. Is the sheet-thingy in the OP?

Yea, it's at the bottom of the VERY long OP.

Just quote it to see it or go to the previous page and use the link there.

 

[mentalward]

Downloading now. First eshop purchase. Next will Mario 3D Land for free. I see a 32 gig card in my future.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Screw it. I can't resist. Downloading....


oh-there's a spreadsheet of names? I'll add mine too.

 

[smokeymicpot]

How big is the download?

 

[Lucent]

Probably just gonna hold out for a physical copy. I have plenty of school work I can work on and Ni no Kuni. Plus all those freak'n 3DS demos I've been missing out on.

 

[DaBoss]

Shit, just realized I could have added another thing to the FC list. Will add it in later today, it will be fun.

Hope this is a quick download, I have an early start in the morning but I'm itching to play some.

This midnight release digital download is so much easier than when I bought the original Luigi's Mansion. I'll pass the time with that tale... I bought an import Gamecube (I lived in the UK at the time) at somewhat great expense, it wasn't out in the UK at that point. Made an effort to get out of work early to go home and play, only to discover the TV I thought could display NTSC could actually only do PAL60 (which while 60hz still didn't display proper NTSC, the picture in this case was in black & white). Headed back into town that day and bought a brand new TV for another stupid amount of money, then struggled to actually get a cab and transport it home - I didn't have a car and this was still the days of big ass CRTs so it was all blood, sweat and tears for me.

I know a lot of people to this day still don't like the original Luigi's Mansion but the early days of the Gamecube made it worth all the money and effort for me (along with stuff like Pikmin), it was magical. Ironically when the Gamecube finally launched officially in the UK Nintendo practically couldn't give them away. ^_^

 

[sonto340]

How big is the download?

[HoJu]

Where are you people getting these percentages?

 

[Totakeke]

Download doesn't work for me, keeps breaking.

 

[dreamfall]

Has anyone been able to register their game on Club Nintendo? I would love to DL Super Mario 3d Land with this promotion.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Oh look, my download is almost at the halfway point!

Stories like this make me smile. I know some people would look at this as some crazy person spending way too much money and effort to play a silly game, but they just don't understand. They just don't understand.

 

[DaBoss]

Where are you people getting these percentages?

We set it to download later and then we check on the 3DS download through the main menu.
