Same, I think I'm done pre ordering through Amazon. This and the previous 2 games I ordered from through Amazon Prime all shipped after 12pm on release day, basic ground service from the other side of the country. Has Amazon closed down all their distribution centers in western Canada or something?

That was the yearly bestsellers list that tracked cumulative performance for the calendar year. This is the monthly best sellers list updated daily. This is the daily best sellers list that's updated hourly.

MK8D has overtaken the Switch version of Breath of the Wild as Amazon's best selling game for the year so far.

Not to downplay it, but keep in mind that MK8D isn't split between 3 versions and likely doesn't have as many people picking it up in brick & mortar stores as many probably did along with a console for BotW.

Sure, but it's still nice to see it selling so well despite being a rerelease. Online games on new consoles need all the players they can get.

Hopefully the fact that MK8 is selling incredibly well will encourage them to just port every single good WiiU game to the Switch from now until the holiday season. Captain Toad Deluxe please.

I hadn't bought a Wii U and the number of games for that platform that I want to play that I don't know if they would ever come to the Switch is really holding me back from buying a Switch

My god... okay, well at least I am not the only one that had my Amazon MK8D order delayed until Wednesday.

Oh well, I still have more Zelda to play, and I guess I can fire up the Wii U version?

I am going to complain and see if they give me any additional Amazon credit for the inconvenience since I spend like 5K a year at Amazon

I spend over 35k a year at Amazon and I had to go through 3 different reps just to get a free month of prime after their Lazer shipper threw my mk8 in the bushes this morning.

Gamestop's Senior Director of Merchandising, who said that the Switch continues to outsell predictions and that anyone hoping to grab one from a physical store is going to have to be quick.

"It's exceeding our expectations," he said. "We knew it would be a high demand product, but our Switch allocations are selling out not in days, but in hours...the demand is so high that consumers have to react quickly to be able to get their hands on them."

The best sandbox adventure game ever made and the best racing game ever made are just the first two major releases. It's already worth it.

MK8D is a port and it's one of the best selling games they've had in years and it's only 4pm day of release. They've gotta be popping champagne corks at HQ right now. They'd be crazy to look at this example and not port the Wii U Mario games, Bayonetta, etc. They'd get to double dip AND boast a huge library. That's genius.

LOL if you didn't immediately jump into 200cc single player. 150cc seems so slow now :cool:

Edit: also the best way to just get all the *s done without having to redo it all a bunch. Except Mirror, you have to still do those after 200cc.

I'm lazy and want to not drive my car. If I get a game a few days late no big deal I have plenty in my backlog anyway. The discount it nice but the real perk is not having to get off my rear end. As much as digital is fun, it's nice to have a giant stack of games by the end of a consoles life. It's also nice to lend a game to a friend. By end of console life I'm deleting digital titles left and right trying to make room if I go all digital.

1) This is the first time not getting release day shipping on a game. A game I already have on another system. No biggie.

2) gently caress sales tax
