I ordered my copy from Amazon a few months ago, and I'm so excited. When do they usually start shipping out pre-orders? I tend to hear stories where they ship pre-orders out on release day instead of before.

FWIW I have never missed release day shipping on an Amazon physical pre order in the 30+ times I've used it in NYC. Sometimes it doesn't arrive until 7PM or so, but it always makes it.

that's not nature's way
I originally pre-ordered from Amazon, but canceled it and decided to just go to the 24-hour Walmart very early Friday morning. Already gonna be out and about anyway, might as well grab Mario and have it for my work commute instead of waiting until I get home.

Oh no! Spoilers in a Mario game? I can't deal with that.

Seriously? It's a Mario game? There is minimal plot to be spoilered. People have taken the don't spoil things way too far if they are worried about getting spoilered for SMO. What's next? Freaking out over spoilers in Tic Tac Tetris?

Some people want to be surprised about gameplay stuff and whatever cool easter eggs the game has.

Yeah there's not really much plot or anything to get spoiled, but it's kind of a bummer to not be able to experience something like 3D World's final boss or whatever entirely fresh, because some jerk got way too excited about it and decided to slam it in everyone's faces days before the game even got released.

It's not something that's going to ruin the game for someone, sure, but come on dude. All people are asking for is that they get to enjoy the game on their own terms and that other people don't act like jerks about it, blurting out everything everywhere because "lol its just a mario game there's nothing to spoil, you weirdos getting freaked out over nothing"

Not wanting spoilers is not Freaking Out.

Being upset that jerks spoil things they know you don't want spoiled isn't Freaking Out.

You not caring doesn't mean that someone else caring is dumb.

Not wanting to have something spoiled for you isn't "worrying" it's just a preference.




Sounds like you have some growing up to do.

Amazon says it ships tomorrow!

Hope it gets to my place before I get off work. That way I can play it for two hours before my girlfriend comes home and we start our Stranger Things 2 marathon.

Most of the time they get it to me around 2 or 3pm but every so often it will show up at 6pm.

Don't do that to me!

If you're worried about spoilers maybe get out of the official loving thread? Seems pretty easy to avoid spoilers to me if you're really worried about it

This really should be the best place to avoid spoilers, pre-release. It's common courtesy and also standard practice if not forum policy to use spoiler tags until then.

I just want to know if the Switch is powerful enough to process all of Mario's fantastic Italian chest hairs? This is kind of a deal breaker for me tbh.

I just don’t want to know about the worlds other than the 4 I saw from E3/direct.

I’m sure just like Zelda there will be a ton of little things. I want to see them for myself.

Let’s be real, people will discuss this stuff, that’s fine. But the game isn’t out yet. Let’s all discuss that stuff with spoilers until then.

if you are mad that people don't want to have spoilers about what stuff is in the game honestly please just gently caress off with your hot takes.

its established by now that some people like to not know a whole lot about the game. so if you have to talk about leaked stuff, does it really hurt you to talk about it in spoilered posts for 2 more days

the answer is no
