Bargain, should only come to around £389.60 with GAME's payment processing system :smile:

Really cannot be arsed to buy a game I own twice already.

They could of at least put some effort into the LOZ anniversary......how about a compilation/collection of the hand held titles on one disc? Not something, yet again, we have already had a home console release of.

That should be right guys! Its only on for a few more days aswell! Hope its helped :smiley:

How's everyone enjoying the game?

Looking like it will be Friday now. I ordered and got the shipping email yesterday. Since it's 1st class I would have expected it today. My post is usually here by now so I think this will be tomorrow now.

Mine didn't come today. People who ordered from shopto got it yesterday. fingers crossed it comes in perfect condition and tomorrow.

im pretty sure that's just to cover themselves when people start posting pictures of games they got early. online pre orders usually arrive a day early in my experience, if it was sent today by 1st class like I've been told, 1st class is 1-2 days. it's very likely to arrive tomorrow or thursday

I wll let you know :wink:

Don't get too excited just yet - you can expect the game to arrive on Friday, no sooner. GAME always explain their process in their pre-order confirmation emails.

You may receive this email a few days before the release date but your order won't reach you early; the email just means it's being held ready for delivery on launch day.

haha, trying not to get my hopes up for next day, probably thursday though

Yep, can you say day off tomorrow :wink:

Mine's despatched!!! Can't wait!!! :smiley:

i just got an email saying mines being made ready for dispatch

i swear to god if my box comes damaged im gonna kill everyone

What does re-aquiring have to do with it? What kind of fantasy world do you live in where you can re-aquire a broken disc without buying it again? You can't have one set of criteria for one thing, and a different set for the other, and pretend like it's a fair comparison. Both of them will continue to work indefinitely as long as you take care of them.
That's what I bolded at the beginning and repeated again because you go in circles. That is the bottom line. End of story. Please understand.

So if you need to re-aquire it then how'll you do it? Oh, that's right. Online.

Online doesn't even come into it :neutral_face: Take real good care of your physical format AND the system it comes on. These two conditions are two sides of the same coin.

You can defend digital format all day but in the end the one format that will last forever -- That's if you take real good care of it is physical format whereas digital format is a digital copy so you're stuck to that digital copy on the system and its online support.

That in itself is rubbish.

I'll summarise. At the end of the day you down own a copy, exactly the same as what's on the disc, it lasts as long as you don't smash it up. Nobody is going to delete it from afar just because it's on HDD or SD instead of DVD.

Sheik amiibo £4.99 guys
http://ebay.co.uk/itm/361416834051
Refill those <3's :wink:

Just bought it with the code, thanks OP! Had almost £3 in points too so got it for £36, gutted I missed the Amazon super deal but hey ho, it's only a £1 or so difference, not too bothered about the Amiibo but hey, will give it a go, why not! Viva Wii U! :laughing:

Wait, I just realised that the CD that comes with the special edition is the "Sound Selection CD" which if I remember contains 5 whole tracks. What a rip!

Digital games = Digital format

As such you never really own an actual copy of it and is more like a rental until X company shuts down the online support to acquire the content. With physical games this is not an issue.

Erm... not sure that common argument holds any water here, given that none of these are online games and AFAIK Nintendo has no precedent for locking out digital games ever. So, there's no difference to say that the digital games would be "bound to work flawlessly as long as you take good care of it", it being the hardware storage it's on in the case of digital, as opposed to the storage the "physical" copy is on (you realise that DVD literally stands for "Digital versatile disc", right?).

So why not just either a) buy the originals and take good care of those into the future, or b) buy them now and take good care of your Wii U/3DS, or c) buy them many years later when you want to play it. Why do we need a remake now on current hardware for old games in order to play them in the future on then-outdated hardware... none of these time periods match up. Constantly living in the past or future makes no sense

Depends. They can price match whenever they feel like it and rarely anyone will notice except when they see the price on their orders.

Maybe I should've pre-ordered Star Fox Zero when Amazon had it for £32 and then use my Amazon credits/vouchers but whatever, £26 is a pretty decent price for a game developed by Platinum Games.

I guess the real reason I am so "meh" over this, aside from the fact again that it is a game that had had 2 physical release already, is that it is ALSO the anniversary of Metroid.......and where is there ANYTHING regarding that?

And of course, there really is no need for anyone to try and allude to that pathetic excuse "Metroid game" Federation Force as being a celebration of that anniversary.

I'd rather pay £10 more than deal with their service.

Heat for the price but shame its game they can be terrible at times for messing things up im in process of them looking into a evoucher code i had to have from them when they cancelled my wwe special edition order back in december and now the evoucher is saying invalid.

heat added thank you i used my game points and got this for total of 36.00 :smiley:

1 more q gamer-u will amazon charge me less than 40 for the zelda pre order to price match GAME etc or is the 40 now a set price for me? cheers

the smash bros cover was all crumpled and the disc smudged....not sealed...how can they pass it off as new? it was only about 30 at the time and bout 40 everywhere else so i couldn't be bothered complaining,,,it works...that's all what matters..

I had a similar with Grainger Games and since then I never ordered from them again.

for the sake of a few pounds i may as well just stick with my amazon pre order...my "new" smash bros wii u was a used copy with game so pretty **** off i was....

I don't doubt that the production process is getting underway... but how have you played it, when it's not yet been released?

Amazing, thank you!

Do they take the money now or on march 4th please?

It's also on Amazon Spain, Italy and Germany but the German Amazon charges a bit more than the other two.

Why disc? You can actually play it many years later as a physical copy is bound to work flawlessly as long as you take good care of it.

Digital games aren't too likely to ever last online forever.

Same :smiley:

Is this amiibo being released separately on launch?

Was just wondering if it was worth ordering this, selling off the amiibo then buying the amiibo when it's cheap again.

Yes I have.

Never order from GAME, they're SCUM. I've had nothing but trouble with them in the past. I've this pre ordered from thegamecollection. Rather pay them the extra few Euros than gives those snakes any money. And you never know, their price may drop in the meantime.

Didn't even realise my amazon order had dropped to £35.85 until reading the comments here, glad about that.
Heat added anyway because that's a decent price

And you've played it?

Its a lazy port. Those disks and covers are already printed, ready to ship.

Its a really lazy port this, pre ordered anyway. I was one of the lucky ones to get it for £35 on Amazon. Hoping the Amiibo and CD make £20 between them on the 'Bay, making the game £15 for me. Thats about what this games worth tbh.

"The promotion code you have entered is invalid. Please verify the code and try again."

I will not preorder from Game ever again after they charged me 7 times for Mario Maker.I'd rather not be left overdrawn for a £15 Game voucher.

Good find but you gotta be wary about pre-ordering from Game now after they cancelled Pip Boy Fallout and charged several times for Mario Maker!

Good price, but I'll be buying elsewhere this time.

Their apparent obsession with vacuum packing everything in bubble wrap that is not a standard game case is infuriating. Someone needs to tell them that there are times when using a box for packing just makes more sense. How difficult is it I wonder to get this right?

Heat for the deal, but cold for Game. They are rubbish, i lost out on the Splatoon pre order and another never arrived. Never use them again.

If only that £7 off Amazon voucher happened at the same time as them listing this at £35. In the mean time, I hope Amazon match this so my pre-order goes down even further.

That should be right guys! Its only on for a few more days aswell! Hope its helped :smiley:

I got its on Amazon for £35 mega lucky. it was special offer.

Well then there you go! :stuck_out_tongue:

Don't fool yourself.

Why is there no news about the new zelda?! Skyward word was released in 2011. Don't have a wii u, but will get one just for the new zelda game

Already had this preordered with Game at £42.99 so just cancelled and re ordered using the above code.
thanks OP

Anyone know what the "selected list of titles" the code works for....?

one of the worst Zelda's IMO....Nintendo's wiiu lineup has been shocking.

Tried this code with Dark Souls 3 no luck. I managed to get the Amazon Zelda at £35.85 guna stick at that but great price

Good luck with Game Wii U Amiibo pre-orders. Remember when they said a lorry with Splatoon Amiibo went missing and had to cancel plenty of pre-orders?

Amazon order cancelled! Thanks OP

Excellent price with that code. Hot!

I wish that I could work out exactly which games this code applies against! I've had no luck with Hyrule Warriors Legends or Bravely Second. :disappointed:
