Hero-of-Time Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Word is that the game is getting a soft launch on Monday in GAME. eShop etc. have to wait until the 2nd If that is the case, and it does seem to be, Game will no doubt be getting a bunch of orders, especially as its the same price as Shopto.

Guy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Definitely grabbing this if it launches early. Nintendo seem to have completely disregarded street dates this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I hope ShopTo decide to ship it on the sly as well, not that it matters too much but it would be nice to have it just over a week early. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Can see this pissing off other retailers tbh :/ Indeed. Do you know if Game have requested this to happen? If so I imagine it's to do with the 2nd of Jan date being a pain to set up in store or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Word is that the game is getting a soft launch on Monday in GAME. eShop etc. have to wait until the 2nd That's the second time you've claimed that without any source. I haven't seen any site reputable or otherwise claim or even speculate about this happening. Not saying it won't happen because it should be out before Christmas. It was a retarded decision to launch it on January 2nd. They could easily do it with extra manpower. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - An Unlikely Hero (Wii U) The ad you'll never see on TV. Some sources for this story. RUMOR - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker sees mysterious date shift in UK and France Nintendo of Europe's first title of 2015 will be Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, as a release is planned on the 2nd of January. There are, however, some strange things afoot in the United Kingdom and France. It seems that some GAME UK stores already got their copies and packaging it for their costumers. Another note of this is made in Metro UK's Games Inbox feature, where an employee makes the following comment: ''I'm not sure why Nintendo decided not to release Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker before Christmas, as you and your readers have said, it seems like an odd decision. Well, just to make it even odder; I work in a chain store that sells games, and we had our copies of the game in yesterday!'' As for France, a store called GameCash said that Captain Toad will be available for purchase on (again) the 19th of December. http://www.gonintendo.com/s/243865-rumor-captain-toad-treasure-tracker-sees-mysterious-date-shift-in-uk-and-france Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ignoring the usual fucking petty bullshit that ruins the Nintendo section of this board, I think there are too many reports circulating around for there to be no weight to this rumour.

Regarding your Pukemon site which I couldn't care less about. I'll just nick this from my other post. It's probably popular because Pukemon are popular and in spite of you. $h1t on a stick and all that. @Guy Admit it, you love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
