Now we just have to hope some trolling piece of poo poo doesn't break out the Song of Time in the last few seconds so we all lose our cash and can't pay for our preorders the second loop round :rant:.

Is anyone supposed to have the limited edition Majora's Mask tomorrow? Not the actual DS, but the game itself?

Ugh, so I just got back from my local (lovely) Walmart. Most of the associates had no idea what the New 3DS was, and the one that did told me they didn't have them in yet, and maybe if they got the shipment in tonight it would be on the shelves around 8am. I didn't get a chance to have them check because they never have enough check out lines open so they had lines of people with carts full of groceries in line in the electronics department.

Going to Target around 6:30 tomorrow and hoping for the best, apparently they only have 2 of each color and 2 MM ones. It annoys me that stores aren't stocking this worth poo poo.

Do you need to do a system transfer to carry over your Miiverse account or does that not matter?

Always ask them to call the back warehouse to check. They get pissy but that's how they handle every Nintendo release.

Debating what I should do once the MH 3DS gets here. Test it by turning it on and playing around with it? Upgrading the memory card right away to get that over with so I don't have to deal with it later? Which form of laziness will prevail?

I picked free shipping on my Gamestop orders for my MM/Monhun N3DSXL's and the delivery estimate on UPS says tomorrow :woop:. The original estimate was 10-20 days after release... I didn't expect it to be that bad, but didn't figure I had a chance of getting them before next Tuesday.

MH4U isn't up yet, supposedly because it's published by Capcom stateside and not Nintendo

So we might be hosed for who knows how long

Oh. I kind of figured they'd both go up at the same time. Sorry guys :(. I'm going physical on MH4U anyway. GCU + :10bux: gift card is just too hard to say no to from Best Buy.

Laziness. More, I guess, due to wanting to test the unit before opening it up, and if I turn it on, I'll want to just start playing. Also, my card reader on pc might or might not work, so switching cards might mean having to rewait through downloading MH.

Ugh, guess proper order will be turn on, test controls, turn off, switch out cards, might or might not have to download game.

First world problems. My Manchild hobby takes slightly more effort than I planned.

I have honestly never seen the eShop poo poo itself in a major way for game releases. They've always downloaded reasonably quick for me too. I think MM just took me like half an hour tops.

Same happened at my first Walmart. They acted like they didn't know what I was talking about and asked me to describe what it looked like. They dicked around in the back for about 20 minutes and then came back and said they didn't have any.

I drove to the next town and picked a black one up at Walmart no problem. The lady said they only had three of them in, 2 red and 1 black.

My local Wal-Mart had neither the new 3ds nor Majora's Mask and they even went back to look. I am guessing they have them under lock and key and will put them out tomorrow morning when a manager comes in.

It's nice and big and it doesn't have that horrible "Maybe I'm gonna open toooo much for your comfort"-thing that the original 3ds did with the top screen.

Oh and FYI, getting the screws out isn't the problem. Getting the back plate off without scratches isn't loving fun. The best tip I read was "there is no such thing as under screwing" and that sounds about right. Pry it off with the stylus once loose.
