So I preordered Mario Kart 8 from the nintendo store UK due for delivery today and still now at 20 past 6 the infamously bad Yodel hasn't delivered it. Why do Nintendo use Yodel!?

You always get Nintendo games a day early with shopto.net

I got Pokemon X, Donkey Kong TF, Pikmin, Animal crossing, Mario 3D world a day early

Because it is run by the Hut Group (The Hut/Zavvi) who are terrible.

Sorry to hear that; Yodel delivered mine at 10:15am this morning. Of course only got back from work a couple of hours ago though...

Don't wanna sound like a A.hole, but why didn't you just pre-ordered from local stores?

I drove myself to BestBuy this morning and picked up my pre-order. I can't depend on other people to transport it directly to me.

Do UK stores even stock Nintendo stuff anymore? I'm from the US so I don't know but seems like from the articles on this site that UK stores are not to keen on stocking Wii U software.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you, Yodel are horrible

The Nintendo Store had a special deal for the Limited edition, effectively a t-shirt thrown in for free:

Must be for that because nowhere else has it. (Just getting the game would be cheaper to just walk into any shop other than Game)

Massive failure on Nintendo uk's part. But then again it has the letters UK in it so failure has to be accepted. Same old story as with Mario Golf on 3ds earlier this month. I am going to refuse delivery and get a refund. Fed up of reading Miiverse comments from three days before release from France when I can't get it delivered from official Nintendo store on the release date.
Seriously unhappy, after promoting and supporting the Wii u. Back to the PC I'm afraid Nintendo. I've been gaming since 1978 and I've never felt so let down on an important release.

Yes some do (like Game) but it's much easier to order online.

Even easier to use the eShop lol

I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

And quite a bit more expensive.

Cheaper for me, no Sales Tax
