Anywhere in the UK that will have the game out available to buy at midnight, and will be open?
Game shops generally only do this for large titles, like Call of Duty, not small games like New Leaf.
I'm thinking Asda 24 Hour may have it out. Anyone in the UK got any other thoughts?
If you're lucky a big game released on the same day could mean picking up Animal Crossing at midnight. However, the only game I can see being released on the same day so far is "The Last Of Us", and I don't think it will warrant a midnight launch.
I'm thinking most stores will have it a few days before release. If you asked them to check it, and the staff wasn't aware of the release date, they'd most probably hand you over a copy to buy.
Could you not take your treck a little further to GAME? Or, because I know which branch you're talking about, could you not go down the road to the shopping park (ASDA and Argos are there).
Even if my local shops did have a midnight release (which won't be happening), I still wouldn't go. I'll be getting the digital version of New Leaf, as I know I'll be playing it for a long time to come.
I'd agree with a 24 hour supermarket being an option. I preordered off shopto.net and if I don't have the game by release day (they're shipping on the Wednesday) then I get ?5 refunded. They do next day delivery for free as standard (if you order before 5pm you get it next day, I've never not had one arrive next day, even to Aberdeen) and are quite often cheaper than Amazon these days, worth a looky I guess! So I'm likely to get it on the Thursday, but no biggie if I have to wait until release day haha
