Same boat here. All I have is "order generated" - was hoping I'ld get it today
Is yours coming via Hermes? I guess they are just delaying the delivery till the Friday release date. If I remember, the same thing happened with my Majora's Mask LE. I don't know why though, since some people even got the game yesterday.
I'm digging this game so far! I got my ass kicked in the beginning because they kept putting me against level 9 or level 12 players when I was just a newbie (at level 1), but now I'm getting the hang of itç
Also, the press kit looks like a can of paint, which is a pretty nice touch and makes it a cool decorative item:

I just jumped into multiplayer and had tons of fun, I haven't touched single player or unlocked any content as of yet, just played with the default set up for hours
The game does start with a tutorial, so you can grasp the mechanics of the game before jumping in

Yep. My Kirby copy came via post a few weeks back on 1st class and early. Still even Yodel seems to be delivering early. Thankfully Yoshi is preordered with Shoppetwo.
Time to accept I won't be a squid today
So close...but he has drove away to somewhere else now. Hate being low on the delivery list lol.
You'd kinda figure they'd do it for the most optimal route.

Splatoon pre-release is number 7 on NA eShop
kinda low to me
retail copies better sell a ton

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Is that the Splatoon manga?
Hm currently best selling game on Amazon US (#4 in Video Games behind 3 PSN cards) so that's a good sign at least.

Really? You can get this much detail about a delivery?
Probably the way they load it? They decided to load it badly so mine is at the back somwhere.
Fuel Efficiency is not a priority from my previous views of the tracking site for things.
Only with these people in the UK. Everyone else tells me nothing, but DPD generally have a nice map so you can wait like a sado.

wow not a fuel saving company lol

#3 Amazon Germany charts after Witcher. Not bad.

Bye!
Special Edition with Squid Amiibo (gonna sell copy of game and go digital next week, but I want the Squid).
Well it had to go from Reading (like 50 miles from London) to Birmingham (like 100+ miles from London) last night, only to come back down to the Depot near me during the night.
Like I said, Fuel Efficiency.
It was meant to come yesterday, but apparently they decided it needed to travel the UK before I was worthy.
Bye!
Someones obviously stole his truck

Bye!
I remember one time when the DPD driver got lost looking for my house and I was just watching him online go around in circles looking for it.
Are the other 6 any of the Humble Bundle stuff?

as a driver I would hate the zigzag route
Bye!
seeing the same crossing multiple times
it makes even less sense in a large urban city with heavy traffic to drive pass stop 54 while going to stop 2
Wait, you're saying this buff is also activated if a teammate - for whatever reason - exits the game mid-match?
Cause that'd be pretty cool(and quite thoughtful), especially since some have been complaining about there being no bots to even the teams in an emergency(not sure how I'd feel about bots anyway).
It depends on timed deliveries, pre 10am all need to be done first, those few minutes stopping as you drive past stop 54 could cause you to miss your timed ones
Lol
I was able to get the Splatoon + Amiibo pack in Media Markt (Spain) yesterday!
The inkling amiibo looks better than I expected. That green is almost fluorescent and is the most colourful amiibo they have released (I also have to say that I also saw the Jiglifpuff amiibo and it looked pretty nice as well).
I already played two hours during the Global Test Fire, but for me it was very strange to see the big Nintendo logo when you see the Cromopolis (I don't know if the name of the main plaza is the same in English). It's still difficult for me to associate this game to Nintendo.
Anyway, I played two or three quick matches and even though it didn't match me with other players as fas as in the Global Test Fire, I just waited one minute before I was able to starting playing. You can't buy most objects until you get to level 4 and you start with the simple gun, so I will have to play some more matches before customising my character a little bit.
For the time being, I am very satisfied with the game. Even if it only had the online modes, it will still be worth buying, specially considering the price here in Europe (you can get the game without the amiibo for ~35 easily).

This is very cool indeed! I've always said that Splatoon brings back that classic SEGA blue sky / wacky urban atmosphere, Jet Set's especially.
Holy crap I'm loving those Nintendo Japan tweets. They are 300% hype inducing. They even splatted their headquarters just like we did with our avatars haha <3
Edit: Yeah I also don't know who is the other squid-girl with the inkling girl. Is she from an anime? :O
Me too - seems so playful and self-parodying of them (compared to old Nintendo's stern and closed-off attitude especially).
Yay, Splatoon get!
Where did you get that separate squid amiibo? Japan? I've ordered one from Play-Asia yesterday now that Game UK can only send me the regular game + inkling amiibo's...hopefully it will get here at some point (as I've had the worst luck with amiibo so far...). Please don't tell me it IS available in Europe separately.

So is clothing unisex? Because you can swap freely at will but the girl amiibo has a school girl costume with a skirt. Does it stay a skirt on a boy squid or turn into shorts? Girl squid is best squid anyway. I'm thinking of getting the boy squid amiibo for the sick samurai armour though.

Ah cool. What about the hairpin? I've tried looking but when I search for Splatoon Schoolboy I get a bunch of pics of a hip-hop guy.
EDIT: nvm. Thanks

Small world, I actually live about 15mins drive way from you on the Lee side of Blackheath lol.
I stupidly cancelled my pre-order so now its not coming until Saturday. Not a big deal since I won't be able to play until Sunday evening anyway but still.

I'm super impressed at the price, 35 euro from the E shop. I purchased the disk and included amiibo cause I thought 49 was already a good deal. too quick on the trigger

The squid amiibo will likely become rare.
I'm not into collecting or reselling, but if any of those interests you then don't be too hard on yourself for buying the special edition.

He's asking you if the games that are placed above Splatoon are the games featured in the Humble Nindie Bundle. Not if there are humble bundle ads on the eShop. Because codes people redeem also count towards the eShop charts. Not just stuff you buy ON the actual eShop.

yeah most of those are in that order too lol
did not know about this
I just got off the phone with GAME (to make sure I'd be getting the regular game + two Inklings after I sent two conflicting emails yesterday due to being so bummed out) and here is a summary of most important parts:
- The stolen lorry contained mostly (or even only?) the squid bundles it seems.
- Nintendo did not make ANY backups for that bundle, meaning it could not be replaced.
- The regular game + inklings will now arrive on Saturday (with first class post) because they have to wait till Friday to collect people's preferences for their orders and to await new stock for the regular game + Inklings.
The guy I spoke to seemed genuinely bummed out by it all himself and while this does not really get me my squid amiibo, at least I now feel that the fault - apart from those damn thieves - lies completely with Nintendo for (A) not making any backups of the bundle and (B) not selling the squid amiibo separately (like in Japan) in the first place (where I've ordered mine in the mean time btw).
There might be a chance that more bundles will arrive later, but waiting for those and not getting the regular game in the mean time, to me, is a bit silly if we don't know how long that will take.
Good luck my fellow UK Inklings - may we have patience till Saturday and good fortune with getting hold of the squid amiibo elsewhere!
