WHAT.

my local gamestop said i can pick it up with the people in the XBOne preorders

 

[monome]

Tomorrow will be a good day. Sorry Microsoft you may have a new system coming out this week to watch TV, sports, and Calladuty but Nintendo actually has some good games coming out.

2DS + basic WiiU + Zelda + Mario have cost me less than a PS4...

 

[zigg]

Well one
Penguin Mario>Ice Mario

Penguin Mario can't skate on lava, therefore your argument is invalid.

But we all know the correct answer is Cloud Mario!

Cloud Mario is pretty epic though. 😊

Holy shit. Will call in a few minutes to see if they'll let my geeky Nintendo ass in the XBox Bro Zone.

Print out a bunch of these and hand them out to everyone in line.

Xenoblade is expensive and hard to find, not much to do about that, although I hear it'll be $40 this black friday at gamestop, need to check that. Also gaffers sell it from time to time in the buy/sell trade for $60 generally. Sadly, this game was limited print and gamestop exclusive.

SMG can be found for relatively cheap since it's part of the Nintendo selects series. (less than $20). SMG2 can be found for around $30 if you look around. Else, I don't think Animal Crossing wii is really worth it to be honest.

Hmm, The last Nintendo handheld i had was the original GameBoy, so i'm pretty sure Animal Crossing Wii is my only option. And yes I found SMG quite cheap, but the 2nd is expensive everywhere. Regarding Xenoblade, i'm in Denmark and i'm guessing shipping will be expensive...

 

[Richardbro]

Anyone else buying this game despite not owning a Wii U? lol I mean, I will own one at the end of the year, but I feel that I need to purchase and support this game right away.

Another 60 fps stream, it's only world 3 so no massive spoilers.

What time is this going up on the eShop tonight?

12am Eastern?

 

[LTWood12]

Do Wii U pro controllers use AA batteries? Or do they charge via USB like the gamepad & dualshock controllers? Thanks.

charge via usb! and they last pretty long

 

[LTWood12]

Awesome! May have to pick up one for my wife to use.

 

[Scoot2005]

Got all excited when Amazon sent me my shipping information today. They're using LaserShip. Now I'm not excited. Now I'm worried. Fuck my life.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Alright, I'm set - gonna cash in my paltry lifetime powerup rewards points for ten bucks off at gamestop, buy a prepaid Wii U Store card and download this bad boy at midnight.

 

[Laws00]

This is going on sale in the wii u store at midnight?

damn

Wish there was a 24 hr walmart near me. I think the one in Lakewood,NJ is a 24 hour super center.

My moms 10% employee discount card and 10 dollar off from that fiasco . I'm looking to pay 44
bucks at the end of the day for this game. But damn I can't wait.

 

[matthwq]

Okay. So I just called my GameStop (Pittsburgh), and they're offering to sell me Mario and Zelda tonight during the XBone launch.

It almost feels like an actual midnight Nintendo game launch. Almost!!!!

 

[maxcriden]

(Eli is really good at getting those purple coins, he's going to love getting the green stars!)

 

[Penguin]

Galaxy Ice Mario > Penguin Mario > NSMB Ice Mario

But yes, Cloud Mario is incredible. Definitely one of the best powerups in the series overall.

Penguin Mario can't skate on lava, therefore your argument is invalid.


Cloud Mario is pretty epic though. 😊

Ahh see this was my fault, naturally assumed 2D Ice Mario, but yes 3D Ice Mario is superior!

 

[Busaiku]

I'm hoping the line's not that long tonight.

 

[Haines]

lol at you guys watching streams and game play vids the day before it releases.

yall be crazy O-o

 

[andymcc]

I'm hoping the line's not that long tonight.

My local Gamestop only got around 50 xbox ones. They're supposed to finalize their sale between 6 and 9. So the process should be quick.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

are you guys already dethroning the catsuit?

 

[Kai Dracon]

What time is this going up on the eShop tonight?

12am Eastern?

12am EST / 9pm PST like other first party releases. West coast gets it before midnight their time.

Actually, this thread here is why I'll be buying it. I got $30 credit for TRU so I'll be picking up the game tomorrow. I don't even have a WiiU yet. I had budgeted my money to pick one up on December 20th, but...I may just say screw that and get one this weekend

Another gameplay video (5 min)

That put a huge smile in my face

 

[mightynine]

Got confirmation from Best Buy that my copy will be ready for tomorrow.

In fact, if you go to the order page on bestbuy.com, it says it's ready for pickup. What are the chances I could stop by tonight and get it? Would the register stop the transaction because it's not Friday yet?

 

[Linkhero1]

Aside from a few screenshots and gifs, I haven't seen any video of this game since I ate crow on that fateful day. I think I've done well in keeping myself from being spoiled too much of the game. Of course, I do know who the secret 5th character is. Who doesn't at this point?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Looked up 3D World on Mario Wiki. Now I'm very, very excited. Too bad I still have a huge backlog including several Mario games. I'll probably get this in 2015.

 

[PeterVenkman]

How many points is this game going for? I'm trying to figure out what prepaid card to buy so I can download this, but the price on the Wii U store says "TBD".

$60 plus tax is the safe bet man
no points on eShop

 

[PeterVenkman]

I figured as much. So I guess I'll be buying 3 $20 cards since, for some reason, $10 cards are only sold at target.

you can do that but you will want to set a zip code from a tax free State because you might still need a few cents added for tax otherwise

at least you should get $5 back from DDP

Ugh, that's terrible, WHY DID YOU POINT OUT THE POP-IN?

 

[StAidan]

This might be my first time paying $60 for a game.

Yep. Me too.

 

[Dead Prince]

whew. had to contact amazon. my game would have arrived tuesday because of their system thinking my address wasn't valid. so they upgraded my thing to one day delivery and fixed the issue.

now i have to contact amazon again for Ys which is suppose to come tuesday LOL

 

[Mariolee]

Ugh, that's terrible, WHY DID YOU POINT OUT THE POP-IN?

I've already cancelled my preorder.

This worked for me ONCE with MK9. I have tried again and failed multiple times.

There are a few obstacles you face when going early:

1. Does the REP know the release date? If so you are dead on arrival. If not let us proceed...

2. Is the game ready and placed in the pick up area? This is the big one where the people that know that it wont be out and pack the game for pick up dont place it for immediate pick up till Friday. They may place it in an area not known to the REPS that are assisting you. Worst case scenario, the REP helping you will look for it, call someone in the back to search for a copy since you are there to pick it up and then is advised you will have to wait since it is not officially out yet.

3.Then they do a price check to make sure you have the right item.

That is my experience with Best Buy local pick up. I got the email too for a Zelda, but have failed in the past more than not to attempt again. Hope it helps!

I just booked a flight to Japan to rub my testicles on Koizumi's window.

Revengeance.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

some people love to watch the WORLD burn

I did not see it an I am not going to look since youtube is not 60fps anyway

To think I have to wait until Christmas to play this game... ;_;

Yeah, if you werent paying attention you wont be getting this game tomorrow or this weekend. They being really dirty about that. I'm curious as to what the shipment allocation is for 3D World and ALBW considering they had to delay several orders to next week.

Oh. didn't know. if i had known i would have just did in store. but i got it sorted.

EDIT: looks like amazon CS gave me one day shipping and charged me $3.99 without telling that an extra cost would happen.

EDIT2: they gave me a $4.00 promo since it was already charged.
