Amazon order dispatched now! Hides excitement with a cushion!

Just checked my tracking and its been collected and on its way..... Delivery tomorrow¬!

An hour and a half longer of waiting outside for EB to open up, then 13 hours of waiting for the launch event, then 3 hours of waiting to get my console. D:

Hello people of the UK, this is my first post on these forums
I'm having some trouble deciding what launch game to buy: since I'm getting the Premium pack, I already have a fun and colourful multiplayer game (Nintendo Land). Therefore I am interested in getting a more serious third-party game. Right now it's a tie between Assassin's Creed 3 and Arkham City, but I'm also a bit interested in Darksiders 2 and Tekken TT2.
It would be awesome if those who have played these games could give me their opinion! :)

I haven't played any of those games, but I guess I'm going to buy Arkham City!

i played arkahm city ttt2 and darksiders 2 between darkisders 2 and arkahm city i would go with batman its just more fun in my eyes there both great though and ttt2 is fun with a freind but its just a fighting game not so much to do like the other 2 i finished arkahm cxity was so fun i got bored and never finished darksiders

Does anyone who ordered from shopto have a tracking number yet as my order number does not work on TNT website, also has anyone had the text yet from the courier to confirm delivery or tomorrow as they usually do that but I haven't had that yet either.

Yeah had my tracking number and text from TNT confirming delivery tomorrow.

Checked my tracking number and it was picked up from Shopto at 17:41...

I've not had mine yet, but shopto said it was dispatching this morning so I would have thought TNT would deliver it tommorow. I don't have a confirmation text or a tracking number yet.

I messaged them earlier and they said they were sending them out today and tomorrow for delivery tomorrow or friday

I'm hiding mine with some shrubbery

Lol

Got mine pre ordered from Game, picking it up Friday but then won't see it again till Christmas Day.

Still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that I'll have one though

Welcome to NL

Right, Darksiders II is a awesome Zelda-esque adventure game. It's huge. Play on foot, on horseback, complete main quests, side quests, battle epic bosses. Throw in some RPG elements and you have a great gem of a game.

Assassins Creed 3 is just as good as it's series brothers. Grandiose settings, gorgeous visuals, great gameplay. You'll find yourself absorbed into your surroundings, you'll deviate from your objectives just to wander around and take it all in. Highly recommended.

Arkham City. Well it's Batman so it's good. I've played the PS3 version and it's fantastic. It's a shame the Wii U version seems to have framerate issues but whether it actually does seems to differ between players. It's excellent though. I would wait to see if it gets a fix before you delve into this.

And TTT2. I've got it on 360 and the Wii U version seems to be the definitive edition of what is, an excellent fighter. No online pass, exclusive Nintendo content, all the DLC, costumes, characters and stages from the 360 and PS3 versions are included in the Wii U version at no extra cost.

I'd suggest Assassins Creed 3.

Welcome to NL! I can't really help you that much sinse i haven't played anyone of these games. xD I have however played the first Darksiders which was awesome, and from what i have heard the sequel is even bether. The Wii U version of Darksiders II seems to be the best version with the Gamepad acting as an inventory/map screen on the fly and it has all the DLC released so far on the disc.

On delivery for tomorrow, how come we're getting it a day early?

@Reddevilade I wonder why? I didn't think that was legal, but hey what the hell I'm chuffed to bits

I think retailers are given a day which they can dispatch from. How they dispatch the item(s) is up to them

On the subject of this will Nintendo be happy with people updating their systems before launch day? Can they /will they issue bans etc?

Perhaps they want to spread the day 1 update rush over 2 days. Only reason I can think of
