ATTENTION! If you want a physical copy it may be best to preorder now!

[tigereyes86]

I didn't pre-order -- mostly because I want to get mine from Target at 8 a.m. Gamestop opening at like 11 or 12 on Sundays ruins my entire plans.

Is there a way to pre-order from the Target stores? Because I would totally do that.

If I don't get a physical version of it from the 2 Targets or 2 wal-marts near me, I'll just get the digital. Hrm. Wal-mart -- I bet I can go there even earlier! What does Wal-Mart do for the nintendo Sunday releases? Are they available at midnight?

The stores would get the game in advance so they would have it in store, no harm in asking them (as technically they can sell it at midnight) because they'll have the game, it may just not be on the shelves yet

Oh wowy, I did plan to pre order a physical copy too, this makes me want to go do it right now though, haha.

 

[Feraligator]

I do plan to pre-order it from GAME, but if I want them to send Animal Crossing to my address, will it come on the day, or will it be late? I'm still trying to decide.

Good thing I pre-ordered mine a long long time ago.

I originally pre-ordered mine from Amazon and then realized it wouldn't arrive until Wednesday, I decided to cancel it and try my hail mary at Target. At least, if that fails, I can get it digitally. It may be a pain to backup the card weekly, but if I do anything with screen shots, I'd be taking the card out anyways.

I wish Nintendo would just get on the cloud system.

Pre-ordered for the bonus already! Feels good to have the paid off receipt, makes for a good reminder of the fact that the game is actually almost here

Yes, I put a $43 reserve down for my copy a long time ago. Every time a think about going to get the game I always feel relieved when I remember the game is already paid for. I don't have to fork over any money. Just got to drive to GameStop and get my copy.

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon. Thanks for the heads up.

If I helps, I see that "Amazon Student", which is a version of Amazon Prime has "Release day delivery" for games. Meaning you'll receive the game the same day it's released. With Regular Amazon Prime, you may receive the Game on May 10.

 

[WeiMoote]

I've already pre-ordered mine months ago.

 

[ACWWGal2012]

Done. Got the preorder done in december(paid in full) at gamestop and I plan being there at opening

Either way, release-date delivery will be Monday here.

I plan to pre-order from Amazon tonight or tomorrow, I'll feel much better after I know I'm guaranteed a copy. I'm also ordering the Prima guide and a few Japanese guides. I'm not sure how these things work, but it would be GREAT if the Prima guide was delivered Saturday so I'd have at least a day to go over it before the game comes.

Dang, you caught me off guard. Good fight

EDIT: Prima guide is released June 9th. So it should arrive packaged with the game

The WiiU is their first HD console, and I will agree with you, it isn't doing as well as I assumed they had hoped, but nowadays mostly none of their systems do at launch.

Yeah I'm sure it'll do just fine after E3 and TGS games are announced for it (just like the 3DS). I imagine at least one of the two upcoming next-gen consoles will have a rough launch as well.

And I remember hearing about the online gaming being a fad thing, but that's why they started the MiiVerse, as well as the online capabilities on the 3DS and such.

Haha, the 3DS hardly has online "capabilities." Nintedno WiFi connection was so ****ty that they had to rename their online platform just so people wouldn't associate their new consoles with it. And the fact that they brought back friend codes again for the 3DS after receiving so much backlash about them before is mind-boggling really.

I'm glad you weren't just gunning at him for the sake of it. Your opinions are pretty understandable.

Well thank you. It's just frustrating owning Nintendo hardware sometimes. If Animal Crossing and every other handheld Nintendo game was being released on both current-gen handhelds I would've bought a Vita over a 3DS in a heartbeat.

Perhaps you've had some troubles with online multiplayer with the 3ds? I've never had problems playing with other people. It's always been a steady blast!

But as I said before about the family-oriented gaming thing, they use friend codes to help ensure people (such as Call of Duty kids) don't just run amok swearing and stuff. I mean, lots of parents are VERY involved in their kid's hobbies, and having a console that has both parties add each other in order to be friends is a big deal.

This. I might disconnect mid race on MK7, but that's really it. I don't mind the friend code thing much either.. I prefer to know who I'll be playing NL with.

Yesterday when I pre-ordered Amazon was offering a 30-day free trial version of Amazon Prime. I figured "why not" since it would give 2-day free shipping and since the game is coming out in less than 30 days...
But thanks to you, I get a longer trial. Muahahahahaha. I'll have to take advantage of this...

You get a free year of Amazon Student when you register your account with a university. It worked pretty well for me!

 

[PyroKinesis]

Yeah, I wondered why Amazon didn't have "release date delivery" as one of their options, then I remembered that Nintendo-published games always release on Sundays. Too used to Tuesday release dates.

 

[erin49215]

Great...now I'm agonizing about what I should do. I might end up cancelling my Amazon pre-order and try to convince some poor soul to drive me to a 24-hour Walmart at midnight to see if I can pick it up there. I don't want to go digital because a lot of people will be downloading the game at the same time and it seems to me like the whole process would be bogged down. I don't understand why Nintendo insists on doing Sunday releases. It's quite a hassle for people who don't have cars and don't live near any stores (me being one of those people).
