Olive Garden tonight! posted:My Amazon order for Wii U finally updated from 'possibly never' to 'Expected to Ship March 3rd, Arriving Tuesday'. I guess it's better than nothing, but what the gently caress Amazon. That's not release date delivery. That's when you contact support and ask what the gently caress happened.

I'm sure they'll ship soon. My switch says shipping now and Zelda says shipping today.

Or people such as me live so close to distribution points that they won't ship until Thursday night and show up on Friday just fine.

According to UPS tracking my Wii U will be delivered tomorrow so that gives me time to set it up before BOTW drops on Friday. As for the game itself, I'm just going to buy a digital code from Amazon.

Escobarbarian posted:At this point I'm certain Amazon and the Nintendo store are shipping all their Switches tomorrow for next-day delivery. Haven't found anyone who ordered from either who's had theirs shipped, but Nintendo told me it's still set for Friday. In my experience Amazon (Canada) ships it few days ahead of time, but doesn't give you a shipping notice until the day before. When Amazon uses UPS I usually get an email from UPS a full day or two before Amazon sends one. That said I haven't gotten anything yet for BOTW

Asking this for when the second dlc pack dungeon turns out to be related to the INVASION: Yo there was sci-fi poo poo throughout series like Ultima right? Not to go too off topic I'm just wondering if any of that ever seriously broke nerd immersion back in the day when the games were new and if people actually got upset about that.

 Preorders for the Special Edition appear to be back on Walmart.com. I just ordered one a couple of hours ago, and they're still showing up as available as of right now.Only problem is it won't be delivered until March 13th, but I don't have the console yet and will be out of town for awhile between Friday and then anyway, so it works for me. Now let's just hope this isn't a glitch. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Mar 2, 2017 |

There's been bits of machinery around in Zelda for a while now. Seems like hundreds of years prior there was some sort of industrialized civilization but they all got borked up and now it's back to faeries and medieval stuff.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:
I ordered one as well this morning. Originally the page for preordering said "this item no longer available," and then the page itself disappeared from existence. I searched later and the page was remade/relisted (which is when I ordered) so I'm hopeful that can't be an accident or glitch. Also, my delivery date said March 9. But I'm doing in-store pickup so I don't know if that's the difference. I may have missed this earlier in the discussion for trying to avoid spoilers, but are there any benefits to pre-ordering the Expansion Pass? Or are the perks the same regardless of when you order?

I don't think it matters when you buy the DLC, I think you always get all the stuff. I think they just mean that starting March 3rd, you will get access to the treasure chests.

Early Ultima was full of it, Might & Magic eventually went pretty hard on the sci-fi stuff, there's things like WARMECH in Final Fantasy. I think Wizardry had some sci-fi stuff here and there? Honestly it's kind of surprising that Zelda took this long to really start dipping into it.

I didn't get my first rupee until 2-3 hours in... I almost forgot this series had them. There's so many wtf and holy poo poo moments. There's guidance, but no hand holding. I haven't had this much fun since the 1st time I played Symphony of the Night. This game, is good... (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Pretty sure Wizardry 8 or 9 had you straight up dropping out of an alien spaceship and fighting against an alien space wizard., IIRC.

Wizardry 6 went full Sci fi at the end and 7 and 8 continue from there with you visiting contested planets to stop Darth Vader amidst an intergalactic war, yeah. Fairly similar trajectory to m&m, but over the course of one storyline, whereas m&m did it every game

Very interesting to see all the curiosity about reviews of this game and the critical reaction to it. I don't remember the last time there was so much energy around what *other* people or publications felt. My personal theory is that for all the great games the last few years, it's getting harder and harder for a given game to enter into the canon of all-time classics and to differentiate itself as worthy of that praise, and that this has a chance to do that has given it a certain type of buzz that other awesome games (GTA5, Witcher 3, whatever) didn't have.

People have always cared, I remember the exact same "Famitsu gave it a 40/40!" hubbub when Windwaker was coming out. Before Giant Bomb, Jeff Gerstmann was infamous for giving Twilight Princess "only" an 88.

Anyone know where I can buy a copy of the regular BotW? Everywhere I'm looking (Game, Argos, Amazon) are sold out of the regular copies and only have the Limited Edition in stock. I was hoping to grab the game so I could play it on release, but I straight up can't find anything other than Limited Edition and Download codes (gently caress that, same price as the physical game without the physical stuff that I prefer having).

Yeah, even though I had a gamecube that staggered release date made TP a major selling point for me as a kid. Nintendo Power had articles every month leading up to it for a while.
