Just picked mine up in Surrey at Guildford mall. Bonus: Didn't get shot! Looks like they had about 10 copies shelved with 10 books. I'm so proud right now  .

The Fisher King posted:wahh?! This is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt. But I've heard that the street date breaking in the US was the result of some conference call. Maybe NoA just decided to break the street date since it was in Canada?

If Nintendo breaks the street date for the US I would totally cancel my amazon order and use their lovely eshop.

Anyone know if Chrom's +10% dual attack rate is referring to pair up, adjacency, or both?

According to gamefaqs (yeah, yeah) and the guy I talked to at gamestop (yeah, yeah), at least Gamestop's position seems to be "sell 'em if you got 'em, there is no street date."

Well, they changed the Character Recruitment theme to be more subdued and majestic, rather than HECK YEAH NEW PARTY MEMBERS. Whether or not that's good or not, well, that's up to you. It's called Crossroads.

I am 30 years old why am I calling Gamestops to see if anyone has broken street date.  Freaking tactical RPG addiction.

Uh well, someone linked me a reddit post saying that the street date's been lifted, and GameStop will be selling as soon as they get their shipments. So it depends on the store now.

DrManiac posted:If Nintendo breaks the street date for the US I would totally cancel my amazon order and use their lovely eshop. Nintendo wouldn't be the one breaking the street date, if indeed there is a street date, so the eShop version isn't gonna arrive any earlier or later than previously announced.

I'm flipping through the pre-order artbook and it's surprisingly high quality for an 8 page book of animes. It's all full colour glossy, and even the cover is pretty cool with all the embossing.

Called my local (American) gamestop and they confirmed they'll be selling as soon as they have the game, but none of the stores in the area have it.

It's called Crossroads. This is excellent. I can't believe it, I normally don't like to get this hyped but this game is just not showing me any flaws. (Besides those couple of character designs, yeah.) I don't know what I'm going to do about my Amazon pre-order; it's still saying I should get it on 2/6, and I guess I'm willing to wait 2 extra days for a physical copy...

I checked my GameStop in Berkeley, and they think they will have theirs in on Friday...but will not break street date as of yet. They haven't heard anything about being able to sell as soon as they get their shipment in, and that they could actually be fined for doing such. Are any US stores breaking street date yet, and why would some plan to and others not?

I've pre-ordered from Amazon a lot in the past (I'm a prime member) and it does arrive on day of release if you get "release day" delivery.

The shipments are different after all, since Canadian copies get bilingual packaging.

In fact, they are advertising delays. I'm a Prime member which means I just default to 'release day' and unfortunately it just isn't in the cards this time.

One little UI thing I really like is that you can choose to see the range of all enemies, which shows up in pink, then look at the ranges of specific enemies inside that, which show up in red. It's handy.

Stores could sell them whenever the games arrive. That being said, in my case, he doesn't have any tracking info which means either: Gamestop corporate hasn't sent the shipment yet, likely meaning the store won't get it too early or Gamestop corporate is overnighting the shipment in which case the store wouldn't get tracking info.
