Bought from Amazon.co.jp, order has been rejected due to the verification failing 😥

Someone mentioned buying Japanese e-shop codes from play-asia. How is that process?

Zelda and PuyoPuyoTetris are already beyond what I can make time for, and now this. So psyched, but no clue when I'm playing this.

Btw, do we know if the Mercedes DLC is readily available? If not, how do we unlock it?

I haven't played a mario kart in a while, probably double dash. Is the AI still horribly unfair in the 200cc races? This has always turned me off from mario kart.

Amazon Japan must have stepped up their game in the last month. I used the same card/address combo for a 500 yen eShop account earlier this month for Kamiko and didn't have a problem.

It immediately bumped me to the verification phase for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Do not use Apple Store Tokyo as your verification address anymore, I guess.

Anyway. I just wrote Amazon Japan with "Cancel" in both English and Japanese because the page said I could do so during the verification phase. My debit account hasn't been touched.

The digital order did allow me to change payment options. I still have my Google Wallet debit card. The card is a dud and will always reject due to its zero balance and the fact Google discontinued the card.

Ended up switching payments, deleting my original payment, and not worry about it failing or not because the payment likely won't go through regardless now.

Did you have a Japanese address listed on your Amazon.co.jp account before you bought it? Because Amazon.co.jp wont let you buy it without a Japanese address on your Amazon.co.jp account.



Or maybe you have to tell your credit card company that you are making a valid purchase from Amazon.co.jp. I had to do that when I bought some Japanese eshop credit last month.

amazon decides to deliver it on Saturday... when I'm a prime user.

Looks like I'll buy tomorrow from store, return amazon copy to store on Saturday.

i got a japanese eshop card from play-asia. it was quick and they send you the code fast.

only bad thing is that they don't sell a single card that covers the cost of the game. highest they sell is 5000 yen card iirc.

Really? that's weird.
If you're using the browser version, after clicking on the discord link you should be greeted by:

At that point it's only a matter of clicking "accept invite"

edit: maybe you tried joining when the link was broken. Try again now that it's been fixed.

RIP fire hopping, now I have no "w-well they were obviously cheating!" excuses to fall back on when I get stomped by fellow GAFers.

Does this go up at midnight? I was going to just pick it up it up at my local Argos but it's sold out it seems so might just go digital.
