As others have mentioned I think the simple solution is to make a demo available. Whilst others think that you can get used to even badly designed controls, I personally find it a potentially game breaking aspect, in fact I'd go as far as to say a decent control scheme is the most important element of a game. Of course this can be to some degree subjective. For example a individual used to FPS control schemes are naturally going to find similar controls easy whilst a newcomer will maybe struggle at first. Yet elements such as responsiveness, I'd argue, are mandatory for a enjoyable experience. Again, why I think a demo is important; with something as controversial as Star Fox's new controls I'd consider it only common courtesy.
It looks like pre orders opened again this morning at the Nintendo UK store, albeit very briefly. According to Nowinstock.net stock orders opened at 8.50am only to close again at 9.01am !!
I can't believe some people on here are defending Nintendo's policy of releasing such a limited run of collectors editions, suggesting it builds "hype", what utter rubbish. The only people it benefits, especially with the removal of one item per customer policy, is the scalpers. Do you really think that people who were planning on buying it would be put off by it if there were plenty more copies available? As it stands many potential buyers, as suggested in the comments above, won't be buying any other versions so in fact the only thing Nintendo has achieved is probably a significant loss of sales, including mine.

Really annoyed about this! I've been waiting months to order it and although I'm set up for email alerts I didn't receive one. F**k you Nintendo!!
