I really can't understand why people defend preorder culture simply because Nintendo. After being burnt by everything I have preordered over the past 5 years, why would I make an exception for Nintendo? That list of games I preordered and got burnt on happens to include none other than Other M.
But god forbid someone waits for impressions of a game before going to get it. That said, it's not like this is a repeat of Xenoblade US release debacle all over again - eShop, my friends, use it.
I have a copy but not a WiiU, should I keep it so I can flip it for $100 later?

As for Xenoblade, copies sat on store shelves for 6 months or more. It was only after the game became unavailable and expensive when it became desirable.
I bought two copies.
Sorry bro.

When Smash 3DS released I went to my nearest Best Buy and the same thing happened! There weren't any on the shelves and I had to ask an employee for one. He eventually got it but I wonder why they do that. Maybe it's to prevent theft?I bought the game at a Best Buy but I had to ask one of the employees if they had it. They searched for a while until they brought it out to me. For a minute I thought they weren't going to have it.

They haven't even shipped mine yet. Preordered months ago. In all fairness, my Prime was expired when I preordered so I wasn't expecting release day delivery but there's something that just seems ridiculous to me about not shipping a preorder when the item has already released.I pre-ordered from Amazon and my copy won't be here until Monday. Never had them miss a launch day delivery before.
Making discs is hard.
No harm in keeping it. Best case scenario, it becomes very valuable and you can flip it. Worst case scenario, it devalues and you're left with a good game and you can just go get a Wii U on sale.I have a copy but not a WiiU, should I keep it so I can flip it for $100 later?
My local JB only had one copy that wasn't reserved for preorderim in australia it seems that we only had the special edition with two cases, my local had 6 copies total with two pre orders

Pre-ordering is allowing for corporate entities to earn interest and other financial benefits from holding onto consumers money without having to provide those consumers with any kind of good or service for a designated period of time. Unless there is some incentive to pre-order, it is pointless IMO. Market research should indicate what levels a game needs to be ordered at.
I had to go to a second Best Buy to get my copy. Thought about waiting and getting the game a couple weeks from now, but decided to go ahead and get it.
Well, in their defense the internet wouldn't stop saying the game would only sell 3 copies.
Good luck with that; this will sadly likely wind up in the bargain bin in a few months like every other non-Nintendo Wii U release
Why the hell are there no Best Buys in Minneapolis? The damn company is headquartered here
Ugh Best Buy at the Mall of America has copies, get to make that fun trek today it seems

But it
is Nintendo
what?
Best buy is pretty good. But yea, I very much dislike Gamestop... Opened new games, shitty NEW stickers that leave gross residue, and awful sealing stickers that make a mess.
