I did store pick up online through Best Buy's website at 12:01 last night when their inventories updated, called up there this morning, my order and my roommates covered the only two units in black they received.

None of the Targets in my state even have the system according to their website and BrickSeek. :v:

They also had very limited copies of MH4U, was able to snag one.

Now just gotta wait 30 min for the store to open.

as an aside if you need screwdrivers or memory cards try to hit up radio shack. The ones near me all have a straight 75% off of everything.

Just picked up my game and console! I had donated blood 10 minutes earlier, so between that and the smell from the line at Gamestop I was feeling pretty lightheaded. That sounds like a joke but it isn't.

I think I'm going to start with HBG and look into the Insect Glaive once I unlock food for making ~*perfect bugs*~.

Who knows about in-store stock, but Gamestop has the MH4U+3DS bundle up on their site for orders again. Dunno if it will last but here's your newest chance if you have yet to grab one.

edit: within 5 minutes of posting this it was gone again. Whoops!

It has charm tables, but they function like theyre supposed to. You get a new charm table everytime you start the game.

Good. At least I can play the game while I wait for someone to get the drat thing in stock.

Seriously, why did nobody get any of these things in for non-preorders?

Is this instead of getting a charm table assigned to you at character creation?

Correct. It changes all the time and Im sure there is a turbonerd way to figure out which table you are on so you can figure out if you need to reload the game but I wouldnt sweat it.

So if I'm not transferring from and old DS, I can just copy the game install (and if I play some before I change out, the saves) to a new SD card, swap 'em, and just be good to go, right?

Why do they even have separate tables at that point?

Can you change your cats names/appearances or are they permanently set after you make them?

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Heisenberg is a douche!"

They're generated from (pseudo-)random numbers. The fastest random number generators also have the shortest periods. This means after some amount (say 20k or however large "charm tables" are) of random numbers, the generator starts over from the beginning. The number you start at, commonly set by the system time, determines your "table" (sequence of random numbers).

In other words, this:

There was an article about how each SKU was sold out at GameStop, you shouldn't be surprised. Also Target out here didn't even do preorders.

So, is there a way to get around erasing and redownloading MH4U if you got one of the bundles? My Internet connection is not great, it would take hours to redownload the game; if I could pop the card out, copy the file to my computer, do the transfer, and put that back in or something, that would be great. If not... Well, I can deal with it, it'd just delay my monster hunting even further.

I was watching the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Palico Walkthrough.

Are you stuck with the Ace Palico you create at the beginning? The video made it seem like it would be with you all throughout and as if you could only decide the sub palico. Tell me it's not so...

You should be able to copy the game from the Micro SD onto your computer, then do the system transfer, and then move it back onto the micro SD after the transfer. People have reported this process working for other games previously.

The problem is that getting the micro SD involves a number 0 screwdriver.
