Topic: Splatoon - OT

IIT Retailers proving their incompetence. Seriously, the point of pre-orders is to make sure you have enough stock in the first place. That's what they exist for. Short of a freight ship getting jacked by pirates or being sunk in the crossfire of WWIII, I can't think of any excusable reason for them not to honor their freaking pre-orders.

EDIT: @GrumbleVolcano's explanation checks out, but that shouldn't force them to downgrade people. They should be able to order more from the manufacturer, which means we're looking at you, Nintendo. (Arguably, they should still contact people, explain, and look for people willing to downgrade instead of waiting the extra time to get their order. Best case scenario, enough people downgrade that no one has to wait, but you shouldn't forcibly downgrade people.)

Every time I get an email I'm scared they're gonna cancel it

The mighty Internet. And now the reviews are up (NL, IGN, etc).

Was it stolen last minute? or weeks ago? Also even if they had the chance to order more it wouldn't get here before launch. even then what's to stop it from being stolen again?

Rotating the gamepad doesn't just move the cursor, it shifts the entire view. the Wii Remote is typically better for moving a cursor around the screen.

Things are looking very grim I just got an email saying the the strategy guide has been shipped but no news on the game itself

I see. With that said, You can use the R stick as well as the view shifts. Aim with right stick, shift the view to the right left up down etc in case the enemy just happens to be off screen but you know they're there. I admit I don't like motion controls hence why i'm doing the traditional controls. I see where you're coming from though.

A lot of 7/10s. 80 on Metacritic.

i just got off the phone with game & he said he didn't know of any games being cancel, he looked at my order & said all looks fine
so now i dont know what to think

I bet they won't change their scores once the servers are up for the public. (-_-)

Hmm I'm guessing game is taking out the orders that had the amiibo ordered separately first either that or I'm lucky for the moment :-/

Hmm well we ordered the same thing so hopefully the same applies to me too....
Then again this might be some clueless guy who hasn't been updated!

Wired's kinda bash "review" of Splatoon:
http://www.wired.com/2015/05/splatoon/

Complains that it's not your typical shooter.
Takes a jab at the Wii U's catalog, "quite possible, considering Wii U’s lack of big games"
Complains about lack of voice chat
blah blah blah

It got canceled So I've canceled my order and have moved to Amazon where I'm ordering the squid and the girl I'll get the boy later as he is less popular! I know it will cost more but I just want all the amiibo! It's annoying though!

Got an e-mail saying the lorry had been stolen lol, so wont get the inkling edition.

well f me just got email from game its canceled

@deanwig @Polyaness I'm off to amazon they have the squid edition in stock it'll cost you an extra £13.33 to get all the amiibo so in total it's £73.03

It's funny 'coz I really don't like GAME, but I thought that I'd give them a chance since the whole bundle with the hat seemed cool. But even then their freakin' lorry gets stolen containing the most important part of the order. God doesnt want me using them lol. And what then, they just gonna leave that lorry to whoever had stolen it?

Same never pre-ordered anything ever from game and look what happened! It's only because I want the full experience I've gone to amazon! Btw everyone I think you can all say goodbye to those free beanies!
