Posted October 4, 2013 Post has been and gone, no copy of Wind Waker! It was posted yesterday morning by ShopTo, has anyone else had theirs from the site and did you opt for signed for delivery of it? I did with Skyward Sword, it didn't show up until like 6PM Friday. Probably much just depends where you are on the delivery schedule and I was last. Getting it signed was pretty useless as there's no tracking. Probably arrive later but your just getting the same so not sure why it requires a second delivery. Unless the keyring is huge. :p As a side note, Amazon shipped my CE guide.

Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah, it's karma isn't it? :/ Yeah I've made arrangements to ensure you don't get it until you finish your reviews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 damn you and your sexy sensual velour pictures of the special edition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 So have ShopTo dropped the ball with this one then? I've not ordered it (managed to resist temptation ). Gonna be a shame if that starts becoming a regular thing though. I still remember when gameplay.co.uk started to get slack on the shipping after getting taken over by GAME. Hang on... GAME haven't bought ShopTo, have they?

Posted October 4, 2013 Ganondorf edition (which looks great btw!) arrived from GAME today. Unfortunately I hate the international version of the game box !!!!! It's the one with the purple triangle (instead of green) on the spine. Damn it, it shouldn't make a difference but somehow it's really bugging me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the one with the purple triangle (instead of green) on the spine. Damn it, it shouldn't make a difference but somehow it's really bugging me. Yup, it's why I didn't bother with that version. That and I don't need anymore clutter that would eventually just end up on Ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 Well, I enjoyed both of them and maybe it was becuase they were easy to play. But I wouldn't say they were dumbed down. Rather scaled down to better fit the DS. I personally thought they utilised the DS hardware perfectly with the touch screen controls, the blowing into the mic etc. Very well made games. A front on which I rather agree. There a couple PH bits that stumped me too, actually(one was a switch puzzle and another was the closing the DS one). The functionality usage was impeccably done imo. @ReZourceman - did you play the original WW? Are you considering getting this? I obv already know your thoughts on OoT, but if you're getting this and being fresh that'd be interesting too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Yup, it's why I didn't bother with that version. That and I don't need anymore clutter that would eventually just end up on Ebay. I have hardly any Nintendo clutter on my shelves, so really happy with the figurine, but the non PAL copy of of the game, urgh. Oh well I've put it on ebay for £35.

Posted October 4, 2013 OH FECK, NO!!!! IT DIDN'T COME! SHOPTOOOOOOO!!! Yeah, just reading Gaf and it seems loads of people haven't got theirs either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 OH FECK, NO!!!! IT DIDN'T COME! SHOPTOOOOOOO!!! This is actually the first time I have ever ordered from shopto after reading about everybody banging on about their launch day delivery service. If it's not through my postbox when I get home from work ill boycot these forums for days!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's not through my postbox when I get home from work ill boycot these forums for days!!! Lol! Well normally they're really good (usually arrives a day or two before release), but this is just terrible. So disappointed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 This is actually the first time I have ever ordered from shopto after reading about everybody banging on about their launch day delivery service. If it's not through my postbox when I get home from work ill boycot these forums for days!!! Ike mentioned that the delay was due to the keyring preorder bonus. Apparently they didn't arrive with the game shipment so they had to wait until they came in stock before shipping the game. You still may get it today. A couple of other people on Gaf have posted that theirs have arrived, so it seems like its hit or miss as to whether you will be playing it tonight. I wonder if my copy is sitting at home now or still in the grubby hands of Royal Mail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 @Rummy I did get and play the original and loved it. I'm not getting the remake though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 This worries me about ShopTo. A friend ordered GTA from them and didn't get it until 2 days after launch despite shipping beforehand. If they pull this shit next week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 If they pull this shit next week... Ploy by Nintendo to get it off the eShop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 Ploy by Nintendo to get it off the eShop. The game next week has to come early. I also have a copy ordered at GAME in case they seemingly get it early too as they used to. Ah well, I'll just sit here and wait for the postman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 The postman has been and gone. Nothing. Even chased him down the road, all like "are you quite sure you're not forgetting something?" but with no luck. BLOODY SHOPTO! I could ring their necks. And that smug postman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 Are you guys all getting the collectors edition or was ShopTo selling it cheaper or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 Are you guys all getting the collectors edition or was ShopTo selling it cheaper or something? Standard edition, which suddenly turned into a standard edition with a rubbish keyring within the last couple of weeks. Said keyring didn't arrive in time for them to ship things out. Shipped yesterday, hardly anyone has received it today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
