Poll: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Shipping Early, Are You One Of The Lucky Ones?

Since i preordered it digitaly thats sadly not possible ^^

I will get the game on early April 2020.

I got it!! Groningen represent!

I have it. You can’t take it from me!

I don't know if Amazon ships early, or will be shipping at all...

I could pick it up today. From the Netherlands here. These stores are closing down starting Thursday. I'm not going to guess on what kind of arrangement they have with Nintendo, but usually these stores are very strict about release dates.

Amazon.co.uk. Doubt I’ll get it early.

I wasn't going to get it at launch since I'm ankle deep in RF4 Special, but the hype is getting to me. I'll take a drive on Fri and pick it up for $50 at Wal-Mart if they aren't sold out.

nope,not yet. i was told game were preparing it yesterday

I digitally preloaded the game so unfortunately no

Went for digital. That's what I usually do. Plus Animal Crossing is something I want to have available at all times.

Mines gonna be here around lunch time Australia time.

Amazon Australia sent it via next day express.

Mine still due to be delivered Friday, not been dispatched yet.

Let's hear it for the digital folks!

Where’s the option that says my copy was delayed until Tuesday lol. I’m going digital now so it’s not a big deal but I was upset to see Best Buy do this, I know times are rough rn so it’s not a big deal tho.

GameStop will sell the digital copy early for you to download. Mine has been sitting on my Switch waiting for Friday.

@mariomaster96 same here. They should add that to the voting poll.

Mine arrived today! By which I mean the code, to pre-load, that I can't play until Friday

Got mine digitally, £40 on CD Keys 😁

Knowing GameStop they aren't going to break street date. They never EVER do. So Friday morning at 9AM it is for us.

Ninty should just open the game. It would garner the a ton of great PR.

I don't know if Nintendo would do it... but I'd love for them to drop an early digital release today. Many of us are in difficult situations and it would be welcome right now.

Pre-installed it for a while ago. Haven't pre-ordered a physical game in like 1.5 years.

I usually go to wal-mart to save some cash. The digital was tempting though.

Preordered physical from Best Buy in the US. Just checked their website about 30 minutes ago, not shipped yet, but still says Friday. Most games I preorder from Amazon ship the day before overnight so I'm still hoping for Friday.

Building the Labo vehicle kit I purchased at Target 50 weeks ago for $20 to hold me over. Took me about 2 hours yesterday to build 1 petal, yikes.

Digital preorder sadly, ah well, I hope you lucky people enjoy it!

I bought from Amazon. I really hope it comes Friday. I really need this game.

I preordered through Amazon. I could see them shipping early if it was through UPS but lately most of what I order gets delivered by an Amazon van directly from a warehouse like an hour away. It'll probably "ship" Thursday night but I'll have it by 10am Friday, which is great because I'm the very last neighborhood for other delivery routes.

In Greece everything is closed for at least 2 weeks and the store doesn't answer emails and telephones about delivering at your home, and I think I will have to wait for a loooooong time if I don't want to go digital. At least they could tell me if they will be a huge delay or not so I will decide what to do. Pffffff... I have preorder it as soon as I could!

Used my second NSO voucher to get it digitally for $50.

Got the game today. I live in The Netherlands and one of the big gameshops is closing tomorrow due to the virus. They decided to hand out the pre-orders early. But only if you had a pre-order

My wife said it's at home. I'm in work till 6... Aaaargh!

Nope. Digital purchaser here.

Bought digitally, so unless Nintendo takes pity on us, it's impossible for me to play it early without hunting down a physical copy.

Yes and no. Target shipped yesterday, but it will not arrive till 24th, lol! (edit) The other copy from BB have not ship yet.

I just got a dispatch email from Nintendo UK. It says est delivery 20-23 March but I am a little amazed to see the email today... plus it better arrive Friday or I will cry 🤣🤣

Unfortunately, mine still isn't arriving until Friday. I have waited this long though, I can wait a little longer.

@carlos82 "Got mine digitally, £40 on CD Keys 😁"

I hope you realize that the key is almost certainly illegitimate or "grey market" and that you're putting your Nintendo account at risk dealing with sketchy sellers.

@Mountain_Man they're not resellers like g2a, I've used them for years with absolutely no issues whatsoever

Digital for me!

@carlos82 Come on, you've gotta know that buying a brand new Nintendo game for a £20 (or whatever) discount is suspect as hell. This usually indicates stolen or forged keys, or they're buying keys from one country with a depressed economy and reselling them for a substantial profit which is usually against a company's terms of service and may even be illegal, depending on the countries you're dealing with.

"I've used them for years with absolutely no issues whatsoever"

Yet. I think it's just a matter of time. As the saying goes, always be suspicious of anything that seems too good to be true. Best of luck, I guess.

Got it digital, would be so happy if the big N decided to release it early due to everyone having to self isolate.

@SoapMonkey which store?? I ordered with Nedgame, but I'm currently in France so won't get that early anyway. Have to wait for my other purchase, got it digital as well since I was planning on being here for a while.

Wish they would bring back the NSO digital vouchers. Or just straight up give $10 discounts on $60 games for NSO members. I buy a lot of physical titles, but got one pair of vouchers for SMM2 and AC.

Amazon Germany dispatching Thursday, so should arrive Friday.

Ordered the console bundle from Nintendo UK. They've dispatched to everyone else I know, apart from me which sucks as there's warehouse maintenance from tomorrow meaning I wont get mine until mid to late next week now.

I did have to go get it ,but it was out now in stores

@Mountain_Man you're going a bit overboard, generally speaking they are usually around full price for their games and even eshop credit is rarely any cheaper. Whilst aren't eshop codes region locked anyway? Ultimately it's a £10 discount and I've seen similar digital prices at other retailers so it's far from too good to be true

ShopTo always deliver preorders early! Everytime! I won’t shop elsewhere!

I got it today bought it at the local GameMania.

If i got it i would speed-run the game until i get the builders permit

Still waiting for my limited edition console to be dispatched. My order is still being "processed by the supplier". Hopefully it dispatches soon for delivery by Friday.

@Mountain_Man CDKeys is a fully legitimate site, has been for many years. They don't sell grey market keys.

EDIT: I was hoping Simply Games would have despatched mine by now, but they haven't. I'm a little concerned it may not even be delivered on Friday.

I got it digitally so have to wait until Friday and have to buy another copy digitally on Friday for my boys’ Switch

Digital copy, so I'm stuck until Nintendo flips the Switch

Still waiting on my copy but I'm super excited 😊

Just received the dispatch notification email from Nintendo UK for the console bundle with an estimated delivery window of 20-21 of March. I’m hoping for the 20th 🤞

Best buy is preparing to ship my order, expected Friday. They've always been good about shipping games on release day, so no worries here. 👍

@Tiberius Same here which is odd as they said I wouldn’t get it until April. I was down for this date originally but changed my order to get 10% off. Maybe I get it in time and the discount!

"N/A - I haven't ordered the game yet / I've bought it digitally" ???

Hey! Some (and by some, I mean at least one - me!) are still buying from the store old school style! Without any order shenanigans. We are people too!

I digitally bought mine. It's downloaded and waiting for midnight!

I pre-ordered mine at a Mom and Pop game store, though I wouldn't complain if they broke the street date a day early.

I brought mine from the eshop! I can't wait to play it. Unfortunately, no early release for US it seems :[

I usually get all my games a day earlier than release through shopto or base

Since the game is now "out in the wild"...and since the patch is already live...it would be nice for Nintendo to go ahead and unlock everyone's digital pre-orders as well.

Where's the option for:

Don't really care for the Animal Crossing Games, Come on Nintendo focus on something else already.

@Bunkerneath Eh, if we're lucky enough, 26th of March will provide us non-AC fans something interesting Well unless they focus on bloody xenoblade... Then I'll still have nothing interesting.

That being said, I pre-ordered the limited edition AC Switch coz I wanted to upgrade to the new model and those pastel color joy-con are FIRE.

Idk if I'll play the game but whatever.

@Iris Got it from Gamemania! Guess having a digital copy isnt that bad for this game as you'll probably be playing it on the regular, then it's nice not to have the cartridge

I think a new option has to be added... will you get your order late! Just go notified by amazon that game orders will be shipped late. And I pre-ordered in September!! so disappointed

@Late This. I can't imagine buying the game physically and dealing with popping it in and out of my Switch a couple of times every day. Especially playing most of it away from home/tv, I'd just end up not playing it half the time because I'd have something else with me.

Delivered here a day early from GameStop in Ireland, and here I was thinking I wouldn’t get the physical copy at all! Happy days haha

Got an email saying my console bundle has finally been dispatched. Hopefully should be delivered tomorrow morning! 😊

I've gone digital but DOOM Eternal on PS4 showed up today

Digital Pre-order here! I'm hoping to hear those will unlock early for us too! I mean, it's just tomorrow, but still.

My amazon order says itll be delivered by 8PM. I'm in America so kinda confused. But hope I get it early lol

Target hasn't even shipped mine, and they're estimating it won't show up until at least Tuesday 24th, and as late as Thursday 26th. I'd cancel and go digital if I didn't want the pre-order bonus.
