Hero-of-Time Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 No idea. Bought the download code on GAME, but they haven't sent it yet...if it comes after the eShop puts it up, I'm screwed -_- With every other game, it has been sent instantly... Maybe Nintendo had words after the whole Pikmin 3 mess. I guess I will just keep an eye on the website to see when the figures/pack come in stock.

My Pikmin 3 code took a little while, noticed they didn't have the code straight after completing the order this time. This was on the Friday/Saturday night as well, I didn't buy it early.

This was on the Friday/Saturday night as well, I didn't buy it early. It's just frustrating if it comes after the eShop update :/ I need to get localisations up. I wouldn't have done it if I knew this was going to happen Contacted GAME, they refunded my original order and suggested I redo it. I did, but for some reason when I reordered (I went Special Edition because my friend told me they get the code straight out), they added another to it after I ordered so I got a second copy. Selling it to a friend of mine lol
Serebii Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Seriously, I'm confused as to how GAME's system screwed up and I got two copies lol

Selling it to a friend of mine lol You get a code with the special edition set and they send you one via email? So you get 2 codes. Is that what you mean? Ordered the SE and got my code straight away. Didn't even want the game before. Edit: Screenshot: Edited August 15, 2013 by Ike

Ordered the SE and got my code straight away. Didn't even want the game before. Edit: Screenshot: Basically, a rundown of what happened 9am: I ordered Pokémon Rumble U standalone from their site. No code given once order complete 10:30am: Contacted GAME's support. They said that they couldn't generate a code for me, so are cancelling that order and refunding it (if they don't do this, I'll be pissed. I don't want to pay for this game thrice). They advised me to make another order 11:15: After hearing from a friend of mine that the special edition sends the download code instantly, I ordered the Special Edition. However, somehow the checkout added a second Rumble U to it (not a second special edition, an actual other copy) despite my basket just having the Special Edition (and its free Download Code). As such, I bought the special edition with its download code, and a whole other copy. Currently, on my credit card, there's technically 3 copies of the game sitting there. One will be refunded. This is how my order page looks, if people aren't getting it
Murr Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) I'm scared... I've sent the link to my dad and said "Can I have that for my birthday, can you order it today please as I don't want it to sell out!" My dad replied - "You order it now then, and your mum will drop the money to yo u tonight, when the game arrives give to us to wrap up for you!" Sounds great, but I need to confirm this with the boss of finances (Heather). I've emailed her and text her but no reply... I'm so anxious to order it now, but know I should wait for confirmation... here's why I'm scared... that limited edition, it won't be out of stock within a few hours will it... I just want to order it now and face the consequences from Heather, but then... I don't want to face the consequences from her. Scared... hope it doesn't go out of stock within the next few hours. reassure me that everything will be alright N-Europe please EDIT ------ Panic over... I've ordered the game, and appear to be in a similar situation to @Serebii and @Ike I've received my activation code, will I get a 2nd one with the limited edition version too?

I dunno, I got two activation codes... Seems people on GAF have this issue, too. You're actually fine though, that's how it's meant to look Edited August 15, 2013 by Serebii
Murr Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Well my special edition has just been shipped, and I received an activation code after the purchase was made. Just emailed Heather to get her to check we haven't been charged £33
Agent Gibbs Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 woah i'm behind, special edition i'll order that! my order looks like @Murr's too! two copies with the special edition and a discount taking it back down to the £19.99

Unfortunately our online banking updates slowly, so won't find out till tomorrow at best

canand Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 What it is you get your download code now but you have to wait for your NFC Pokemon Do we still get NNID Points
Serebii Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 What it is you get your download code now but you have to wait for your NFC Pokemon Do we still get NNID Points Should do. Mine hasn't updated with my Rumble U one yet though Yep, others have had theirs update, but mine hasn't. Seems to be the pre-release thing again. If their system keeps doing this, they should stop retailers from selling the download codes beforehand
V. Amoleo Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I didn't get my code after purchase either. I think I upset the system ordering an eShop code and a PSN voucher code in the same order. Can it usually cope with providing the codes for multiple digital orders in one checkout?
FireMeowth Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Bought the game on the eShop before I found out about the special edition (seriously what was up with that sneak announcement?), but that's fine. GAME haven't got the special edition over here anyways, though at least Gamestop could confirm that they would be getting the figurines soon, and GAME said they might also get them. Might have to look for a way to get the Kyurem figurines online, but that's not too big a bother. Enjoying the game so far (though I do miss plenty of stuff from Super Pokémon Rumble, of course). Haven't had much time to play yet, but hopefully I'll have some free time this weekend.
gmac Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Picked this up instore along with a pro controller (controller only £10 with a purchase) they also had the figurines for 4 quid each
Ashley Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Picked this up instore along with a pro controller (controller only £10 with a purchase) they also had the figurines for 4 quid each Is that the official pro controller and is it £10 with any purchase?
S.C.G Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Figures are £4 each? Well... at least that's half the price of most Skylander's figures - I know this only because my workplace sells a frack-load of them - but still, I won't be buying into them and relying on these figures while taking out other features is only going to hurt the review score. It'll be lucky to get a 7 at this rate!
Agent Gibbs Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 @Serebii are the nfc figures region locked? does anyone think its worth picking up a second special edition just to try and get black kyrem (i got white) as it includes that and another nfc figure, and then the download code can be sold separately
Esequiel Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 So took my little guy into game tofay (its his bday). Already had the SE delivered yesterday and bought some new figures, we have: Mewtwo, white kuryamin (sp), genesect, jirachi, litwick?, evee. Not looking forward to dupes at £4 each.
Ike Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I got White Kyurem and Torchic in my CE. Decided to buy a few figures and got: Croagunk Lucario Deoxy Jirachi Not too bad, would have liked Celebi or a Victini but I probably won't be picking up many more. Enjoying the game a little better than the 3DS one, but it's still pretty basic.
FireMeowth Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) One of the many wonderful things about the figurines is that if I do get any dupes (and I most obviously will, I suppose), I can use them as prizes for the TCG tournaments at my Pokémon League. Just might pick up a couple of special editions (aka until I get both Kyurems haha hopefully it'll just take two...) and have the game codes I don't need as prizes as well! Would be nice to help convince people to get a Wii U, too. EDIT: Based on but I have seen absolutely nobody with Black Kyurem so I think something hinky is going on I decided to order just one special edition to start with.
