I'm not FullMetal, but I received a email earlier today that Target has already shipped my SE.
Slightly strange that Target's email claims 7-10 days for delivery, but its being sent by UPS and I already have a tracking number for it (and UPS reports that they claimed the SE early Sunday morning). Unless UPS withholds the package to honor the street date, I'd be surprised if the SE arrived any later than Wednesday.

GameStop charged me. When will they ship though.

don't know how accurate that green line bar thing is but its super close to "ship" or whatever despite it saying it hasent shipped yet, apparently even saying its suppose to ship by the 9th(which I have a problem with) but by how close the actual bar is its like it should be coming any day now. For instance I just ordered 2 wii games yesterday and they're suppose to show up between the 3rd and the 13th, which is understandable but the bar is nowhere near the length, amazon is weird.

I won't say that i went out and bought a wii-u yesterday just for this game but this game was the deciding factor. Originally i was just gonna wait a few more years maybe wait to see if it's ported or get it on the NX but when i play-, i mean watched my friend play his press copy i was immediately sold on the game and the wii-u.
I would say if anything else interest you, you should go for it. My only worry is getting addicted to these filthy amiibos.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the data IS on the disc. The digital file size doesn't exceed a Wii U disc. The problem is that data access speeds via disc are slower than via an internal or external drive, and so it's all about putting certain files that might hinder loading times onto a drive.
High 90s or I'm canceling my preorder for the game, special edition, Elma Wiimote, and signed Tetsuya Takahashi watercolor portrait.

All this talk about a review that doesn't even go on the review aggregate sites lol. Not that it really matters I guess. Still pretty excited for it.

My first thread got pretty big but everything comes to an end. :'(
At least a mod didn't change the title, junior me, or ban me after I've made like 300 posts in this thread. That's an accomplishment in itself. knock on wood
I'd still be gobsmacked by a score in the 70s. Mid 80s minimum imo.

Best to expect high seventies.
Regardless of reviews people can get a sense of wether this game is for them by reading up and watching the game. The smaller than usual main narrative, mmo combat and fetch quests can definitely be negatives to people. I hope people really look into what the game is before getting it.
It's what I'm happy with so I'm super excited for the game regardless of reviews.

For all we know they could put out the short stories the day before release or several weeks later. Whether or not they're good, I'll say Forging BLADE is. 24 Hour Happy People takes a while to get into. I've never seen such a lust for meat...

i don't care about the numbers
i'm salivating to know what others think
i'm going to enjoy the game regardless, but watching people like gamexplain and jim sterling i tend to have fun hearing what they have to say about a game even if sometimes i disagree with them

I expect all 10s and one 3 which gets all the attention and causes mass hysteria.
I have popcorn at the ready.
And the 3 leaks 1 hour before the embargo lifts.

I can reasonably expect it to land in the 80s. I've seen enough footage and followed the Japanese release to not care about review in the long run, this game will be mine.

Nintendo has a weirdly close-to-release embargo this time (for them), but I don't know if it indicates a lack of confidence or they got it gold fairly late and reviewers would need a ton of time.

Yeah, I think they will be somewhat mixed with more being positive but you know if you are getting the game or not before they hit.

They should have given the copies to reviewers several months ago, no way they can play through all that shit this fast.
Don't judge me...look at this guy with his super bold 15 point spread for his prediction
;w;
Fuck it, should've handed out review copies in 1999. Everyone would've been blown away. Critical strategic oversight.

Bought a Wii U on Black Friday, so it better receive 100s across the board.
Also, why did no one tell me splatoon is fun as fuck?
Best Nintendo game in years if you like shooters.

Why wont amazon do release date delivery? Shouldnt the status change to do that? We preordered the game months ago shit

Only have one full blown game as digital so I only had to dump a few old demos to make room. Anything else though and I might actually have to hook up that 500GB external HDD I've had sitting in a drawer for two years.
I'm in no rush, myself but Amazon seems weird like that. I mean when I pre-ordered that big Fire Emblem box they sent me a mail like a day later telling me it was upgraded for release day delivery. Very random.

On the other hand, it got a surprisingly open NDA, which most have been pretty positive on, so it might be a case of they really finished up the localization last minute but in order to show their confidence, allowed reviewers to talk about the game so much, and almost all of it has been pretty positive.

I actually am in a rush because im gonna be seeing all those shits at work lined up and not wait extra days and buy the standard one. Not even playing. Im gonna email amazon customer service and tell them whats good!
Oh fuck yeah, Primagames has an eGuide for XBX, gotta get it asap. I imagine it'll be incredibly helpful, it looks like the game doesn't waste time explaining stuff too much.
Yup. Also I expect it's gonna be a 80 +- 5 game for me, too, not mindblowing but not bad either.

Here is hoping the NX is backwards compatible!
I don't want to get a Wii U just for this

POSITIVITY
If this game averages in 70s I'll eat my fucking...words. And cry a lot.
I did it, and I'm a student with a limited amount of disposable income.
It's just money. Do it.
