Still says 08/02 for expected delivery but I don't think it's going to make it if it was still in ON at 10am.

I'm so jelly. My insides are jelatin.
HOLY SHIT I WANT THAT. I would start volunteering to do the grocery shopping if I had that fancy bag.
Is it relatively expensive/cheap? The Pikmin keychains are pretty expensive on the EU Club.
placed my order!!! thanks
release more Pikmin items!!! I'll also get the poster set with the panorama Pikmin parade poster ^^
That's what I figured... I am just impatient ;P

Just realized that my copy of Pikmin, which comes out on Sunday, is due to arrive at my apartment a day later than my copy of Tales of Xilia, which comes out on Tuesday.
Oh, Amazon.
Oh, Amazon.

The back of the manual is adorable
You Americans have manuals? How unfair, Nintendo hates all European players and defrauds us out of manuals every time >.<.

Yeah, it's not much more than a controller map in a few languages though. I know that's still something, but you aren't missing too much.

So if I did the GameStop preorder thing I should be getting a code to download it tonight at midnight, right?

As punishment, you must hand-deliver your copy to me before Sunday.

No, we get slips of paper folded in half. It's almost worse than nothing at all.
Costs too much to print in 5 languages, at least the paper fold out has nice illustrations.
I'm at 22 hours play time and on day 15, final boss...
The little scenes of dialogue between leaders, which you can view in between story days are amazing/hilarious.
Sure... just let me finish writing "Pikmin 3" on this DVDR I have laying around and I'll be right over!
That's just for their 3DS games, I think. So far NOA has supplied genuine booklets for its Wii U games, although Pikmin 3's is definitely a truncated version of its digital manual.
(oh were you talking about what Europe gets? never mind, then!)

Miyamoto said that for at least the past year, he personally has been more involved with the anime than the game development. They are making the anime for the 3DS by the way. But you'd think they'd have a non-3D version for Wii U at some point.
I'm really tempted to use my $30 credit and get the game from the eShop instead of waiting for a my order from NewEgg to ship. It hasn't processed yet so it's likely to go through Monday. Meaning I won't get it until Tuesday at the earliest if I'm lucky as I sometimes get items from NewEgg the next day. I've been going back and forth between this over the last few days. With the credit I can get the game for around $33 in the end after taxes plus the DDP points. From NewEgg because I used a promo code last year I'll be $48 but I'll have a physical copy (which is a plus) that I might be able to lend at some point. I can't decide what's the better deal in the end. I'm really leaning toward the digital version at this point and could end up going that way at the last minute.

Is there anyone other than me here that did the early release promotion with Gamestop that hasn't received their code yet? I should have known better than to trust them to get this right...

Yep I got mine earlier!

I just ordered this for my wife. She loves Pikmin and this is one of her most anticipated games this year. I hope I can get her the keychains too. We'll have to wait til next Friday to pick it up (along with Dragon Crown for me) but can't wait for a new games weekend
dang it amazon... no release day delivery? even monday would be good enough for me... but no
I think i'll just cancel and buy it at gamestop or whatever. i'm sure they will have plenty
How are they supposed to swing RDD, when UPS/FEDEX/USPS are not available?!
Unless you're not an American, then I have no idea how that works for you...
Highland/wilshire? My brother....
It kind of frustrates me because a Friday release at least would mean we could get release date delivery from Amazon potentially.
... Of course, with their current bad blood I kind of expect the retort to be "yes, that's the point!"
Finished it today, it was great but a lot of the pieces were way too easy to get. I guess they really had to rush it.
Over 5 years in development seems rushed to you? K...

I thought the game was really only put together in its current form, in about 2 years. Could be wrong.
