Generally the rule with Nintendo stuff nowadays is that Amazon and Nintendo UK Online Store are unreliable. Expect that if you preorder from either of those places you will receive your stuff at least a few days late.
@Snaplocket For this game Best Buy Gamers Clubs is better. Not only do I get 20% off I also get another $10 reward for pre-ordering. Since I buy all my games there that makes Doom cost only $40 for me after tax.

@Spoony_Tech agreed.. im paying 30 for Super Mario Odyssey after discounts and coupon. Comes with the Cappy Coin and A poster as well along with a 10$ certificate ill use for a future game.
Well, my Amazon order is on the way. I've ordered multiple difficult-to-obtain items from them over the years, such as the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition and the version of ZTD that came with the watch. Not once have they ever let me down.
@Snaplocket Don't need to live near one as they ship as well. I always get my games day one from them. Prime is good as well I just don't feel like paying a monthly fee whereas BB is only $30 a year.

I am actually totally hyped for this game at this point.. i wanted to get a physical copy but decided i have to wait for my check so i might as well go digital since it's only 5gb and figured Mario of all games should just be on the hard drive anyway.. so i have to wait until like 3 or 4 am Fri morning for my check to be deposited.
I think hype cannot describe my feelings about this game anymore. To think the oh so conservative Ninty went back to the sandbox gameplay of Mario 64 (and Sunshine, I‘m excluding that one a bit because there were already large signs of linearity, like the fact you couldn‘t tackle any mission you wanted whenever you wanted, the literal signs pointing you the right way and that you needed to do the seventh mission of each level to unlock Bowser), my Mario. That‘s what Mario has always been to me: The freedom to tackle any mission you want, the freedom to explore the worlds and look for hidden collectibles. I know his 2D platforming days came first but that‘s not how I first encountered Mario, it was Mario 64. That‘s also where my absolute disdain of 3D Land and 3D World come from and the entire direction Nintendo took the franchise starting in the late DS era: Everything had to look and feel like NSMB. Squeaky clean, same locals and story, no matter the genre, and worse of all: No heart or soul, no experimenting. That‘s why Odyssey is also a spark of hope to me. The spark of hope of bringing Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, Mario Party and the sports titles back to their glory days. But alas this is but a dream ....
Oh god, I‘m rambling again, right? Just ... just ignore this entire comment. I think I‘m feeling a little sentimental today, that‘s all. Little more than 18 hours CEST!
My copy from ShopTo in the UK has just arrived - good thing too as I'm off on holiday tomorrow! Now I wonder how much work I'll get done before I start playing...
@GoldenGamer88 You couldn't tackle any mission in 64 either. Koopa the Quick doesn't show up unless you specifically enter the episode with him in it. It's only true for most the overworld stars that don't require a boss fight or a scripted event.
