If it means anything, my stuff from Best Buy usually ships the morning of release.

Like, 2AM on the day of release.

Thanks, well I've never had it ship that close that I recall but they do like to give you tracking at the last minute. Just wish they would help me plan my weekend out a little better instead of having things in the air :p

But so far every game I have ordered from bestbuy.com has arrived on release date, without exceptions. I need to just learn to trust them. T__T

I'm considering picking this up and I don't even own a Wii U yet. Lol

I'm on the fence about buying the console this late unless there's a major price drop or killer X-Mas bundle. I've waited this long so I figure I might as well see what happens when the NX is launched. If its backwards compatible great. If not I should be able to pick up a Wii U on the cheap when they clear stock. I've snagged 3 Wii U games already when I chanced on sales. But I have to say Xenoblade is the first title that makes me want to break down and get a Wii U for X-Mas if I can find the right bundle price....

Couple of friends were on the same situation until Mario Maker. For them, the game was enough to break down (+ a few other games). I wouldn't believe all rumors about NX.
One of those friends was also on that line of thought and didn't want to pull the trigger because of NX but the fact is that it all boils down to how much you believe those rumors.

In the end he bought the console under the premise that, for him, it will not matter if NX gets released at the end of 2016 because he is not planning to buy it at launch.

The earliest i've had something ship is about 6:30PM the day before. And I usually always get my stuff on release day. You just gotta believe!

Just one of many examples, my Pip-Boy FO4 copy:

God damn, I just finished the Prologue, and the game is huge.

I will lose myself in it for sure.


But I hate that I need my glasses to read the stuff on screen.

I've played the whole start of the game on the gamepad by accident, there should be a icon on the right side.

Has anyone else's Collector's Edition Strategy Guide shipped from Amazon yet? It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, but I have my doubts now. :(
Click to expand...

Mine continues to say it's not coming until the 8th, and I paid for one-day shipping.

When I talked to a CSR the other day, he suggested that they wouldn't have enough stock for everyone to get it immediately, so cross your fingers.

Damn really? :( Mine says tomorrow, but I have Prime 2 day shipping, lol. *shrug* I hope to get it tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. I didn't think there would be any issues with stock honestly. :/

Arriving Saturday Preparing for Dispatch
Thanks Amazon, I only placed the order on 11th March 2014. Don't need to be first served or anything. Well at least it should be an improvement from taking 4 days to dispatch.

I can't look at what time Mario Maker or Bayonetta were dispatched but I got both on release day and I seem to recall they also dispatched Thursday so Amazon might beat their Saturday target yet...

Is it even possible to not look hideous in this game?

I'd like to think Takahasi took inspiration form Oblivion when it comes to creating characters. But with more skin colour options.

if it worked that way then I'd be in good shape with my June 2013 futureshop/best buy order.

I'm pretty confident that at least one of my preorders will get here on time, even though neither have shipped. I searched my email and my old GAF posts and it seems the last two Nintendo games I pre-ordered, shipped out after 4PM on Thursday and got here on Friday.

I think I probably screwed myself by canceling my original order so I could use that 30% off coupon last weekend.

Either way, if it's not coming to me by Friday, I'll just buy the guide at Gamestop.

So cool!

You know, I was considering a more realistic character, but you kind of inspired me to create something very anime with big, weird eyes. Is it possible with male characters?
Click to expand...
Wasn't a big fan of the male faces so I didn't really dig into them much, especially since most of the footage I've seen was with a male MC anyway.

Wow, did you guys see the new UK trailer? This game's scope is amazingly impressive. I don't think I have ever seen a game that looks that large in scale.

Fuck Amazon waiting for my CE... Damn. Wondering if I should just get a second copy with my BB Gamers Club membership and leave the CE unopened.

Has anyone got the official hardback collector's guide? The cover looks abit basic, not sure if it's worth me grabbing just for collector's purposes.
