Does Amazon generally email out digital codes at midnight Pacific time?
Yes. People were downloading from the Australian store 8 hours ago at midnight.

same with me.
really annoying when you get spoilers like that from youtube. Not the first time either
It appears in the coming soon without price but once you go to its page it will let you buy it. I just did

Does anyone know when Game.co.uk are likely to have a code up on their website for the download version?

And bought on the SA store, I have so many games on this store 😃.
I think a lot of people have done that today lol
So glad I came across it, and love that my bank card works with zero issues. Hate having to buy eshop credit.
Although all you guys are slowing down my download lol

Alright, in the US and bought from the Australian eShop and it's available to download now. My Splatfest schedule is going to be screwed but that's alright, no big deal.

Its out? Tf?
Not in NA.
And here I was complaining about 28 minutes.
What internet speed do you have?
Pre-loading is worth it's weight in gold for people like you. Shocked they don't have that yet.
Being in NA, are there any caveats to ordering digitally through other regions?
Will the games show up on my normal account even though I access a different store to purchase?
Also I have eshop credit on my NA account ready to go, I'm assuming that wouldn't work if I tried to purchase on another store?

Yes you can play games with any account. If you use one account and change region, and then change back it still shows as purchased.
So e.g you switch from US to AUS buy the game, and then switch back to US it shows as purchased on the US store.
You can also re-download while set to US. I've tried this myself, i.e changed from UK to South Africa, bought game, changed back to UK and re-downloaded.
If you create an additional account, it can be played with any account on the console
And no you can't transfer credit, infact you need to have a zero balance in order to change regions.
Your choice at this stage is to create another account and buy from there, or just wait if you want to use your current balance to buy the game.

I don't think you can go to another store with the same account if you have credit on it now. You'll have to make a separate account.
And yes, it should show up on your normal account without issue.
The best way in all honesty is to just use a bank/credit card to make the purcahse for the exact amount if you want to switch regions.
Alternatively if you're a fan of eshop credit, then create accounts for each respective store you're going to use, then that way you can have eshop balances in each of them.
I just personally like having all my purchases tied to one account, but ultimately it makes no difference as you can play any purchase with any account on the same console.

I just located a Splatoon Pro Controller at GameStop, so lucky phew, now to actually find a Switch.

nvm then
Depending on your region you may have to use eshop credit.
I for example can't buy from any American eshop (North or South) or the Japanese eshop with my card. Doesn't even try to charge, I think it must check the region of the card and say no because it's a UK one not American or Japanese.

Oh my god you are the best. I've been making alt accounts every time, I had no idea you could swap and pay with your normal details. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for the info. I loaded up $100 in eshop credit earlier in the week in anticipation of this along with Mario + Rabbids coming soon. I guess I'll just wait until tonight then. Do you all know if it's EST or PST for the eshop update in NA?

Always midnight EST
Social media is where it's pulling the art from since there's no Miiverse anymore.
No worries, just bare the below in mind.
If you buy eshop credit, then changing region will not be possible as easy as it was. Basically before you could switch back and just forfeit your remaining balance, you can no longer do that.
If you're in the Uk and planning on buying from the SA store then there are no issues, just use a UK payment card.
Yes you're absolutely correct. I for example can't use my bank card on the US eshop, it asks me for a Zip code and recognises my payment card is not in the US. It's weird because the 3ds allowed you to make purchases still.
There seems to be mixed verdicts on which cards work where. Some guys in the US can use their card in Mexico for example.
UK cards defintely work on the South Africa store for example, and it's actually cheaper than buying from the US store as the pound is much stronger than the Rand.
Well... yeah. Motion controls in a moving vehicle is typically a no-no. This is one switch game that is better docked.
I'm about to flip ALL of the tables cause amazon hasn't shipped my order yet.

Is there any countries that the game is out now that accept NA CC's?
Got to world 4 on the single player, I'm so impressed with it!
It's just like the first one in its Mario Galaxy esque pacing and level layout, but that analogy extends to this being the Galaxy 2 of Splatoon; it's similar to the first one, but somehow even more wildly varied and polished. The level design is absolutely stupendous, difficulty balanced just right and surprisingly the bosses some of the best in recent memory.

What do you enter for the zip code? I'm in the Caribbean and I just use a Miami zip code.
Similar thing with buying eShop codes on Amazon US. Just enter a US address.
Shouldn't it be midnight?
It doesn't actually ask for the zip code on the South Africa store (unlike the US store etc). Simply the card number, expiry date and security code.
I tried entering random zip codes, but nothing worked at all. I tried my borderlinx address that I use for US amazon but it didn't work.
