The quality behind this game is kinda incredible whether you like the mini-games or not.
You must live close to your nearest BB. Mine is a 30 minute drive away. That's 60 minutes round trip. And then you'd have to do it again tomorrow. 2 hours driving (and a bunch of wasted gas). I can see why he'd turn his nose at that. And then who knows if they'd screw up the return. He would be liable to return tomorrow and have them say he returned it and no longer has a pre-order. Feel bad for the employee, but I can see why someone would say no to that.
Because customers aren't aware of company fines so theyd rather take a small loss to offset the big charge. My best buy had a similar situation when someone sold a windows 8 pc before street date. Luckily the customer didn't want the employee fired so they returned it.

Anyone know if Target will be having a midnight launch? I don't think so, because I can't find any info on it, but has anyone heard anything different?
I do, it's a 2-3 minute drive ;P

Speaking of Target, did they ever start preorders for the console, or is it first come first serve?
The Targets near my house aren't doing a midnight launch so I doubt it.
Would be guaranteed. All best buy counts I looked at had more than enough to cover preorders. Mine got tripple

I preordered.
I know, I mean specifically? How many volts does it use? Someone must have done a tear down of the Wii version. I'd like to try a DIY wireless sensor bar mod if possible, I have two sensor bars and it would save me buying a specific wireless one
A new thread will be created most likely.

Man, watching the live screen and those load times between menus are pretty long. I'm a little shocked as reducing load times has always been one of Nintendo's top priorities. I do hope that the system update has a way of addressing this, but I guess we'll see...

I just had the disheartening realization that my Wal-Mart isn't open 24 hours a day. The store closes at 11:59 PM tonight. I might just try my luck at getting it early, but how can I convince them?

heh they always say that for games too, remember when i tried to get halo 3 and they said it would be sold out for months since i didn't pre order it.
bad example yes.
try best buy or wal mart and toys r us
gamestop was also putting anyone with a rewards card on the secondary "we'll call you when its available" list so you'd probably have better luck at other places if you want one sooner.

Well half the OS isn't there. It's possible it's referencing points and then having to "time out". But obviously that's pure speculation on my part.
Tom is around here somewhere because he was talking about getting twinkles for launch day in this thread and guek is unbanned so he's running around yelling at people who oppose his opinion (love you guek).How so? I haven't read about NiN so I'm kind of out of the loop here. If true, then megatonnns

Try going to Target. They usually get more than what was peordered.
The thing is, they won't tell you this. They screwed me over during the Wii launch. My Target got 220 Wiis and they said they only had 120, which was the amount preordered (wristbands given out the night before) so I left. They ended up giving the rest of the people in line who didn't preorder the remaining 100. If I didn't leave I would have gotten the Wii day 1. It wont hurt to try
Nice. Gotta make sure I add them

Yeah, it's hard to get a 7 in Edge - Dead Island for example got a 4.
Hitman Absolution and Nintendoland also got 7s in this issue, AC3 , NSMBU and Halo got 8 for example.

Sounds about right considering they have a waiting list going. I think best buy and target are your best chances tomorrow.

So Walmart I preordered from is 24hrs so this means I can pick one up at midnight right? I'm a Walmart virgin lol

I just called best buy and they said they might have extras...we'll see I guess.
Walmart is supposed to release them at 12:01 but this is fucking Walmart so it's probably going to be up to the individual store and whether they read their memos.
I plan on dropping by later today and see what's going on.

I'm sure it's fine to grab the discs by the hole at first, but if your finger is still in the hole after it enters the Wii U, all bets are off.
Do not load the disc with your finger in the hole.
Fuck this
Pre-order cancelled
This fucking company will never learn
It's okay to put your finger in the hole. Just not with discs

I realize I'm like 1,000 years late on this, but it just occurred to me that there's no Nintendo Land attraction based on Pokemon. How odd. I assume we can blame the fact that the brand is owned by a subsidiary company?

Called my gamestop just now.... They aren't opening at midnight afterall, even though they told me 3 days ago that they were. Glad I called again today to double check... F**kers... would have been hell to pay if I had stayed there at midnight and nothing.
