Baby, when it's love,
if it's not rough it isn't fun.
People on Reddit and I believe in the 3DS thread here on SA have mentioned getting shipping notifications, and I know I've seen people say they've been charged, as early as Saturday.

GAME in the UK ships early because they promise on-release delivery, so sometimes stuff gets here a day or two early. Gamestop has a UK division but I've never used it because everyone complains about them.

Hm, I wonder if I'll get an email; I preordered in the store, not online, but I used my information that has my email and stuff.

Walmart's even worst. I got charged for my order like the first day of February and the drat thing is still in Processing despite the local store having the game already.

Honestly the only reason I'm getting it from GS is because they have that trade-in deal for $75 off the n3DS.

GameStop charged me for a n3DS but it hasn't shipped yet. Luckily I ordered the game from Amazon and they usually get me packages a day early so I'm going to be able to play on my old 3DS at least.

If it makes you feel any better people got Tri for the Wii up and running fully to the point where you can break the game and one hit kill anything including formerly online only missions.

Can I play with people from different regions in 4 Ultimate's online?
Yes! The game will support cross-region online play (only between NA/PAL copies of the game).
To split hairs, this isn't entirely clear w/r/t NTSC-J games and how people who might even actually buy a 3DS just for this game might not know about Capcom's locking, even though I'm not one of those people and do know better.

I just can't get over the fact that I have an IRL friend who has to exclusively import natively Japanese portable systems to play unlocalized Senran Kagura games :cripes:

single player missions have no bearing on multiplayer.

Offline mode has usually had less powerful monsters than online mode and if you sink time into online mode you can clear offline mode easily.

Listen to my tale of Gamestop fuckery, ye nerds, and tremble.

When I heard about the Collector's Edition [not the special N3DS] back in October, I immediately went to Gamestop and attempted to pre-order one (I thought Gamestop was the only retailer accepting pre-orders for it, stupid me.) They told me it was too early to pre-order, but it's never too early to pre-buy! So I paid the full amount, left with a gigantic receipt, blithely happy in my naivety.

This week, after hearing on the previous thread about orders not coming in on time, I attempt to get info on my order. Lo, I did not pay for same-day shipping (which I for some reason didn't realize needed to be specified), and thus it will be delivered to me sometime over the next two weeks. I attempt to change that order, give them more money to ship it faster, but their orders are "set in stone." I can't even cancel it, I have to look up my original order number, located somewhere on that ancient receipt, and return it once it is delivered to me.

Clearly I have to hunt monsters at the FIRST POSSIBLE MOMENT I CAN or my life is hollow, so which of these options seems the least loving stupid:

1.) Buying the game retail on day one from anywhere but Gamestop, keeping THAT receipt, waiting for my special edition, switching out the game inside of that for the one I've been playing and return the new game with the old receipt,

2.) Ordering the special edition on Amazon and getting proper shipping, then returning the tainted Gamestop version when it arrives, or

3.) Third thing I haven't thought of yet.

There are far more important things to worry about I'm aware, but gently caress me if I can't kill monsters at the nearest available opportunity.
