bob Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 This is like watching the season finale of 24, only Jack Bauer is waiting for his new Nintendo console to arrive.
Serebii Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 My first arrivals have arrived Switch at midnight, Zelda tomorrow ;;
Aneres11 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 My first arrivals have arrived Switch at midnight, Zelda tomorrow ;; Oh man that's cruel. Makes the wait even more tormenting now!
Hero-of-Time Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 My first arrivals have arrived Switch at midnight, Zelda tomorrow ;; Stay strong, Hero. Stay strong.
Dyson Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Whoa! That Guardian amiibo is huge. Surely it'll crush the Joycons? Haha
Shorty Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I wish I'd pre-ordered with midnight launch from Smyths! I have such poor judgement sometimes >.>
Serebii Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 I wish I'd pre-ordered with midnight launch from Smyths! I have such poor judgement sometimes >.> I almost cancelled my backup. Now I'm glad I didn't. Though I wish I had made the decision before they had taken the money for Zelda. I'd have got it tonight
Hero-of-Time Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I almost cancelled my backup. Now I'm glad I didn't. Though I wish I had made the decision before they had taken the money for Zelda. I'd have got it tonight Can you not just pick a copy of Zelda up at midnight and then just send the other one back when it arrives? You could even just take the one that arrives through the post back to the retailer you buy it from at midnight.

Zelda should come with the standard post which is coming at 10am now
Agent Gibbs Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I haven't had any contact from my bank but haven't been charged... are you guys on "Awaiting Dispatch" @killthenet @Agent Gibbs ? Mine still says "processing" Checked with my bank and there is an approved pending transaction from Nintendo, only Nintendo I'm waiting on it seems now
Shorty Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Mine still says "processing"Checked with my bank and there is an approved pending transaction from Nintendo, only Nintendo I'm waiting on it seems now Have you clicked on it? "Processing" is what it's said all along for me until you click for more detail.
Dcubed Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Pro Controller is here! Time to play with it on PC while I wait for my Switch!
punio75 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Same, pro controller here. All alone, taunting me on my desk!
killthenet Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Have you clicked on it? "Processing" is what it's said all along for me until you click for more detail. When you click for me details all it says is 'Processing' where yesterday is said 'Awaiting Stock Pick'. My brother said someone on reddit had the same problem so called Nintendo and it got sorted, I'm on the phone to them now to see if it changes anything.

You can also search for local users, add friends you’ve played with and also add friends from Super Mario Run and Miitomo. Although, it looks like you’ll need to give someone a 12 digit friend code to add them if they’re not on a service that you’re connected to. Good grief. Still we have this stupidness. Good that you can add friends recently played with but as usual 1 step forward, 2 backwards. Edited March 2, 2017 by liger05

Tim B Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Everything on my Amazon order has changed to "Shipping today", which is fine by me.
liger05 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 So you can't add people via name like you could on the wii u?!?!?! Doesn't look like it. You can't search by Nintendo id. What's the point of Nintendo ID. You create a name but the ID can't be searched with. Sounds backwards to me.

Still we have this stupidness. Good that you can add friends recently played with but as usual 1 step forward, 2 backwards. It's not the only way, thankfully. I blame DeNA. Had a feeling this would happen when Fire Emblem Heroes friend list was behind Friend Codes. Wouldn't be surprised if standard comes after the paid online Doesn't look like it. You can't search by Nintendo id. What's the point of Nintendo ID. You create a name but the ID can't be searched with. Sounds backwards to me. Difference is that you can have a Nintendo Account without the User ID Edited March 2, 2017 by Serebii Automerged Doublepost

I don't memorize a 12 digit number but can easily give people my gamertag. Do we know yet if one adds a friend via friend code they get a notification and can accept without having to reciprocate?
Aneres11 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Finally 'complete' on ShopTo and had the email earlier about delivery being tomorrow via DPD. Console launches are so exciting and stressful I equally love and hate these rare moments for us gamers!
Serebii Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Friend codes..? Are you mental Nintendo?! Deary me! At least it's not the only way now
liger05 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Friend codes..? Are you mental Nintendo?! Deary me! Welcome to paid online. A new service where adding friends even becomes a chore. I just dont get it with this company at times. They create such greatness and then can make a ridiculous decision like friend codes. Nobody asked for this. We wanted more ways to add friends which they have given us but the most important one uses friend codes. Bizarre isn't the word.
