Okay, I just ran to the BB near me. No physical copies in the front, back or anywhere, and he checked all the stores in town (KC) and it was the same thing. No Best Buys here physically have it yet.
Best Buy usually gets large shipments on Saturdays (at least in the district I used to work in) so I'd assume they'd get copies then...The next truck isn't until Tuesday.
Listen to man this! I'm at the final boss fight right now and I don't want the game to end! This has been an amazing 30 hour experience!
Cashier at my local GS told me they're not selling it until Tuesday. I thought it releases on Monday?

Which Best Buy did you work at?
Either the game is selling out or the game is undershipped
Store 0020 in Cedar Rapids, IA.
Lol! Honestly I have no problem waiting until the 8th if I was 100% guaranteed a copy.This is part of the new meta strategy game Nintendo has implemented.
Should you stay where you are use an item (eShop) or move your unit to a strategic location and try to get it early? Fail, and you could end up having to wait till 02/08. And if you die trying to get the game you stay dead.
Called all three of the Gamestops in my area and all three of them swore they still hadn't got any copies, which is super strange since they seem to get new stock in on Fridays. I'm a little curious as to what exactly is going on with the US shipment. I find it hard to believe that NoA would deliberately hamper physical sales for the purpose of bolstering digital ones, but that's kind of what it look like right now.
So when will the game be on the Eshop?
Monday, February 4th at 12:00AM EST.
Monday, February 4th at 12:00AM EST.
What is the file size for the eShop download? I just ordered a 32GB SD card from Amazon to deal with this nonsense.
Monday, February 4th at 12:00AM EST.
E shop it is!
Now I know to stay up until midnight on Sunday night. And when I wake up, I'll have a smoking hot Fire Emblem to play!
this release was such a clusterfuck, lol
but in a good way :3
Its PM normally not AM unless somethings changed. People shouldn't be staying up later than they would to buy the game.
New Super Mario bros was up at 12:00 am
It's always been midnight for these releases, so it is in fact AM.
Does Nintendo still do the "Games tied to system, not account" thing? It's one of the main reasons I don't buy anything from their E-shop.
I actually prefer downloading games, as it makes them much harder to lose and easier to carry around a bunch of games.
It's like flying in an airplane. Statistically safest way to travel, but if you do crash, God help you.
Nintendo could fuck up a two car funeral I swear.
this release was such a clusterfuck, lol
but in a good way :3
This is like the happiest clusterfuck ever.
I don't see how any of this is happy and good at all
Because the game will do better than what Nintendo expected at launch?
I don't see how this is a fuck-up by Nintendo at all.
Some people got their games early, but it's still going to be released on the 4th for everyone else.
I don't see how any of this is happy and good at all
This will be my first official 3DS game in a physical format
Good news. Called Gamestop on Market Street (San Francisco), they told me they THOUGHT it was delayed but they are actually expecting copies to arrive either tonight or before monday. I specifically asked if I could buy it once they get copies, they said YES the street date WAS removed and as soon as they get them they can sell it. I have a pre-order at said store so I don't know if that makes a difference in the answer I got or not.
