yet gamestop can sell it at 9pm the previous day? wtf
I've seen word of this pop up in the other threads about the game but it confuses me since don't most GS close at 9? Least the ones around me do.

They said that they wouldn't be open much later past 9, but they're definitely doing it. It surprised me too!

By this time tomorrow, I'll be at work thinking about how the game is waiting for me at home.
Mah Switch is ready.

Thanks for the guide! I'll take any and all tips on Puyo.
I want to be a balanced player instead of just sticking to just one side.

My Amazon order showed up today, first time I've ever gotten a game early from them. Bubble mailer + oversized box = very crushed box. Oh well.
Chaining puyo looks so easy when someone else does it, but during actual gameplay it's tricky for me think clearly enough to alternate them like that (the l-shaped formations, or "triggers," stacking with other l-shaped formations of other colors). Thing of beauty when it happens, though.
Agreed. You mean L-shaped, right? Very much looking forward to working on my skillz when it launches on the Switch eShop!
So this release has me playing my japanese version (actually started the single player after watching some on giantbomb) and I just stumbled into the sound menu where you can sample different music...and voice lines.
A lot of which are variations of bbee bbeepeep beee,
It's awesome.
3-starring all the tetris ones so far, about 15% in, and getting 1 star on puyo puyo, takes me a lot longer but have been managing on my first attempt so far. Got to like 2-3.
It's a great game. I'll finally have a way of checking out the tutorials for the advanced puyo puyo stuff ha.
I feel like doing tetris fast is easier than doing puyo puyo tetris fast so it will be interesting to see how balanced it is. I was pretty much just playing tetris modes before.
The mode that switches between tetris and puyo puyo is awesome. Maybe my favourite.

That's shitty. I would contact customer service and raise hell.

Yeah, this happens to me 1/3 times with Amazon. Also happened with my Breath of the Wild LE strategy guide (crushed corner.) I'm not a collector so it doesn't bother me that much, but I do wish they were more careful with their packaging.

Same. I watch so many videos and read tutorials and when I try and take it slow I just... Can't process beyond a combo or two.
Gotta practice more!

Can someone please explain the handicap and how it effects the game? And does the handicap effect the CPU play level?
Also the pro controllers D pad is garbage for this game. I quick drop on accident like 3 times a game. Don't feel like I can get into a grove when I have to worry about a quick drop. Is it possible to have quick drop on a trigger or button?

Amazon CS has been very good to me when these situations happen. I'd suggest opening an IM customer support chat with them and providing photos. They have given me partial refunds or Amazon credit in the past when I have received damaged items.
Wut?
Sweet: Slower drop speed, 3 puyo colors
Medium: Standard drop speed, 4 puyo colors
Spicy: Faster drop speed, 5 puyo colors
Dunno about AI tweaks, but I suspect not.
I played the demo with my GF tonight.
While she liked it, she'd like something to practice her Tetris gameplay because even when I was just staking blocks as long as I could she didn't have the time to clear her lines before I was forced to attack.
I guess some single player Tetris Endless Mode is option for her then, right?

More likely to be noon tomorrow. Only first party games have released at midnight.
Yep. Plenty of single player modes including the classic Tetris marathon for her to practice. Same goes for Puyo.

Some first party games release at midnight, third party games generally release at noon EST.

FWIW the local Gamestop here has about a dozen copies for Switch but none for PS4.

I hate that I can't buy this digitally on ps4. I don't care whose fault it is, i'm blaming ubisoft
I'm from EU but I want it digitally on Switch so I shall be setting up a Canadian user and getting it tomorrow which includes a £10 discount because it's £10 cheaper in Canada.

ummm... what's going on with their page for this? I refresh it and it changes the price from $29.99 to $39.99... I keep refreshing and eventually it goes back to $29.99 and then BACK to $39.99....
Don't tell me they're last minute changing the price on this to $39.99...
It took a while for the price on the eShop to get corrected in the first place.
Nintendo's website probably isn't built for multiple SKUs having different prices and it got confused after the date changed caused a transition from "coming soon" to "available now."

Ah gotcha. Was gonna be pissed if they changed the price to $40 as I decided to not preorder physical in favor of saving $10 this time and having digital access.
I picked up my pre-order about an hour and a half ago from GameStop, I already had a review copy so I basically grabbed the keychains and put the game directly on my shelf... No reason for me to pop the cart in since I already have digital.
The keychains seem very nice! Not $10 nice, but nice regardless!
