Look man, my wedding was loving cool and you're gonna know about it! You're all gonna know!

In other news, a band of literal highwaymen jacked a literal truckload of Splatoon Amiibo in the UK and now Game can't fulfill pre-orders. loving Nintendo, not even using a decoy truck.

They just sell the Amiibo and Game separately. They can even sell the Amiibo outside the packaging and claim that it came from the 3 pack to cover their tracks even more.

It's not like that. People who steal these kinds of things are not the people selling them. They have a "fence" and the fence already had buyers lined up before the truck was stolen. I bet Middle-East or Russia.

It's common knowledge. It's like people who steal priceless works of art. Someone inevitably says, "How do you sell something like that? Anyone you try to sell it to would know." The answer is, "They don't, genius. The sale was already made and they are stealing it to complete that sale."

Stealing a video game or an amiibo and trying to sell it is one thing. Making a truck full of video games and amiibos disappear is a completely different thing. There is a black market for any commodity that works exactly like other markets. There are suppliers, distributors and retailers.

I'm confused (and possibly dumb). Will I be able to play Splatoon tomorrow morning, or is it midnight May 29th, so I'll have to wait until Saturday morning? I want it to be tomorrow...

Pretty sure the digital unlocks in 10 hours, if that clears it up.

edit: Yeah, I'm wrong. 8 hours.

I thought Guacamelee was alright but I hated that I couldn't dodge cancel out of attacks like Platinum games. Did they ever patch in the option to do that? If so, I might give it another shot.

If you preordered at GameStop you got Inkling costumes for smash bros. Other than that, no.

you get a special smash bros inkling mii gunner costume if you preorder at gamestop, and i think you get a shirt or poster or something at some other places, but i'm not sure what regions. also if you preordered it digitally from the eshop, during the testfire demo, you had a special shirt. Thats it.
