Hi, guys! Sorry to bother you all, but I'm having a little problem here. I just received my download code from GAME UK today, but when I enter my code on the Wii U it says "The content you're trying to download is not yet available. Please check the release date." But I'm pretty sure Nintendo said download codes can pre-load the game just like an eShop purchase... Is there anything I'm missing or a way to enter the code other than the usual method I'm not aware of?
Same problem here, GAME sent me my code at around 9:50AM, and I can't redeem it.
(I actually just posted about this, but I'm new to the forums and put it in the wrong section >.>)
Apparently, we're not the only ones. My friend just got his code, as well, and gets the same error...
Noticed on a few other sites that people are reporting download codes from GAME aren't working with preloads...
Guess we'll have to wait til 11PM tonight, and if it still doesn't work, resort to crying.
I wouldn't recommend downloading it at 11PM, though. Last time I downloaded Bayonetta 2 at 11PM on release, I didn't get any Premium Points for it and had to go back and forth through customer support emails till they fixed it last week (almost a month later). So, yeah, friendly advice, 12PM is your way to go ._.
I'm having the same problem.Code arrived this morning, no joy redeeming! Guess Game UK codes aren't authorised by Nintendo for pre download goodieness! Shame, was really looking forward to some midnight gaming!

Yep, my friend is staying the night and everything because of the release.
Not sure how fast my internet can download 12GB, if I start at 11PM and their servers hold, I might have it by 1AM..... Ha.....

So even tho the code was brought from game its still gives you nnp points. I'll be trying my a code in an hour, with no joy tho probably

Codes from GAME DOES get you Premium Points, but the problem is that the game wasn't available for normal purchase at 11PM, apparently, and codes happen to work then, so I think the system glitched or something at that time. I'm not sure, I'm just guessing what happened.

I wouldn't be too optimistic. I downloaded Bayonneta 2 on release from the eshop, same size, 17GB. After a few hours of waiting, I went to bed. And that's with a hardwired connection and Fibre optic broadband with speeds of 72MB/Second! Guess I will wait until the morning to play.

Ahhh... Then you have nothing to worry about
A little bit off-topic, but may I friend request you? Maybe we could have a friendly match sometime
Sure, everyone I know with SSB only has plans for 3DS version, would be nice to arrange a match someday.
Got your friend request, thanks!
I think the whole 11PM thing is because Europe and the UK share the same EShop, and the game unlocks at midnight in Europe, but the UK is an hour behind the rest of Europe, so it unlocks at 11pm here.
