This better not be sold out at the first four stores I go to tomorrow.

 

[Battle Born]

It's downloading!!! I don't have to wait anymore to play this!

 

[jmls1121]

I just got off a 20 hour workday, and am exhausted, but am still downloading this and playing this before I go to sleep.

 

[FrsDvl]

Damn I knew I should've bought this tonight on the eshop.. Now I have to wait till Monday

 

[Horseticuffs]

24 minutes estimated! Don't you fuck me over, Wifi! I swear to god you'll wish you were dead

 

[Zarovitch]

eshop fail, had to find the game via miiverse

Me too!

It's downloading

 

[Gaiaknight]

35% done and climbing!

 

[tkscz]

I forgot. Downloading now, 29 mins left.

 

[PeterVenkman]

This progress bar is doing some funny ass things. I wanna get a good chunk in tonight, but I'm fading fast.

 

[Kandinsky]

[KHlover]

Nintendo's servers are probably suffering from an affectionate DDOS right now on account of everyone trying to download the game at once.

I'm carrying my weight by buying it in the store tomorrow! You're all welcome!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

seems like a fast download today ah well I have to wait

 

[Hakai]

Yeah, I wanted a physical copy, but I couldn't wait so bought it digitally. Dowloading NOW!

 

[jmls1121]

lol, this gorgeous, packed game is only 1.6 GB.

 

[greycolumbus]

Only at 26 percent

dang hooligans, clogging up my internet tubes

 

[theprodigy]

frame rate drop spotted, 0/10 CoD level game

j/k have fun guys

 

[Zing]

I'm hitting Futureshop at 10am to spend the last of my gift cards on this game. Fortunately, it looks like I won't have to worry about big lines from Xbox customers if the midnight launch lines are any indication.

 

[ipukespiders]

download has slowed to a crawl... lol

...du fromage?

Sitting at around 10 minutes left for the past 5 minutes or so. Still quicker than I'd thought it'd go, 20% left now.

 

[Like the hat?]

9 minutes remaining, then the ol' install.

 

[gogojira]

My impatience is why I end up downloading games. I COULD wait and pick it up tomorrow, but then that's like, a few hours away and I could be playing this game now.

I wonder if Wal-Mart is stocking this thing right now? I'd make the trip.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Being slow to download. :/ Oh well. At least I have I have time to set up my new Zelda 3DS XL. If still not ready, I'll play Zelda, or worse (in good way) Tearaway.

 

[Lijik]

Got back from gamestop! Just about to start playing

du chat, meow :3

 

[BolognaSoup]

So jealous. I can't play this or Zelda for a few weeks.

 

[Schnozberry]

Downloading and installing now. Pumped.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

did anyone wear cat ears?

 

[Gaiaknight]

download finished! instal time 5min

 

[VanMastaIteHab]

66% 11 minutes left. Too slowwwwwwwwww

 

[Bullza2o]

Personally I would just bug them now. Not sure if they're open 24/7 for phone service and the phone service is much easier than using the chat.

I've had several things I've ordered that have said that, but the shipping info had actually not updated properly..and then the game arrived on my doorstep right on time.

Well if it still hadn't shipped right now, I definitely would have contacted them now. But it was actually shipped and still on track for tomorrow!

I really don't want to bug Amazon; they've been kind to me a lot haha.

Tonight may just be the best Christmas since the epic Skies of Arcadia/Grandia II/Majora's Mask/Banjo Tooie affair of 13 years ago.

 

[Slurpy2k20]

So, I'm a bit apprehensive about downloading this instead of buying a physical copy. Just seems way less "tangible" with no chance to sell, give away, or anything else in the future. On the other hand, I despise optical disks, the unreliability, and the noise they make in the console.

Couple Qs:

1. Is the game tied to an account, or the console?
2. Would I be able to re-download it at any time, from any Wii U console using amy account? (ie. I have the white basic set but might trade it for a black in the future)

Thanks. It would be nice if I can be convinced to go for the download.

Mine will have taken 25 minutes if it completes on time. Not great, but not terrible.

 

[Timeaisis]

Trying to be patient for this download... it's hard, guys.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Snaked my way around the Xbone line to get my copy, but a whole day of class and practice separates me and four player 3D Mario amazingness. I'll just stare longingly at the disc art until then.

*sigh*

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yikes. 30 minutes has turned into 1 hr :/

 

[Gaiaknight]

woot instal done here we go!

 

[tkscz]

You guys are just impatient, a half hour isn't that long.

It's tied to the console. Don't go digital if you plan on getting a deluxe model.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Ok, Pause/Resume trick worked...1 hr is now 18 mins.

 

[impirius]

Don't slow down now! Only 150MB left... you can do it, little Nintendo server...
