@Skunkfish I presumed you saw the reply from dartmonkey at 5:21pm "Skunkfish So it is! I've just added that to the post - thanks. "
So you should understand?
Like I said I noticed it in stock around a week or 2 ago (meaning the stock was not being scalped, likely as it hadn't been picked up on and reported on). I decided best not to share it in anyway, why perpetuate the problem
@HADAA you sure about that? I'm sure when I tried it was 0000 0000 0000 at ground level. Nothing was there it was just grass Β―\_ (γ)_/Β―
But as I said, I'm sure it was all zero's not 0018 height as you said ? I'll try again
@Skunkfish well done π they've been in stock on UK store for at least the past week or 2. Anyone who wanted to look to buy could have. Now thanks to your comment they will likely be scalped for profit once again the same as every time before. Food for thought
@OctoAmbush I would also think a lot of people just watch others play a game via streaming and/or video uploads, rather than buy and play it themselves
Justin.tv was all movies and TV show streaming, obviously that wasn't ok, they then went to video games only and renamed to Twitch.tv, but how is that not still sharing something which a company has produced to sell to people ?
Sure, could be argued that video games are all about playing it yourself, but they also include a story, cinematic cutscenes, music ...
I'm surprised video game companies allow streaming of their products at all.
Maybe we need to take the numbers and rearrange them. 221203. So how about making 2023, which leaves 2 and 1, so could be 12. So December 2023. Which is when the last Booster Course Wave is due isn't it ?
Or they could need to be rearranged some other way. 221203. Taking out 23 for the year leaves 2210, Could possibly be 10 for October leaving 22 for the day, or 12 for December leaving 20 or 02 for the day Exciting!
Double Dash came out in 03, not December though, November. Double Dash has always been popular and a stand-out entry in the Mario Kart series, so how about going back to that 2 characters per kart format for MK10
@rjejr Hahaha π IKR! WHYYY NINTENDO WHYYYYYYY π€£ TBH can you imagine the confusion that would've caused!?

@SlimPieEats So the description "Material: Zinc Alloy. Plating: Black Nickel" is just describing the keyring and little chain?? That is disgraceful
No it can't be ? It says Black Nickel. - How the hell can a silver ring/chain be Black Nickel ???
Update: Ok so it turns out in UK this is made of metal ! So I don't know if @SlimPieEats is in a different country/region ? (there must be a metal version and also a rubber version of this)
@popey1980 Actually that's not true, GAME's description reads "Pre-Order The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to receive this Pre-Order Bonus Coin"
*My Nintendo Store also give the same Coin plus the Luggage Tag.
@NintendoLife It doesn't seem like you are "busy keeping track of all the best deals at retail" for a start you haven't even listed the Currys game + luggage tag for Β£47.99 deal or that it's available from Smyths for Β£49.99, and other prices you have listed have changed price (Hit is now Β£49.85, Amazon game + Poster is now priced Β£54.49), one of which now leads to a dead link (TheGameCollection now relisted at Β£54.95 but does [and previously did] come with Poster)
Well at the time this starts the game will have already released 2 hours and 45 minutes ago in the UK. And obviously even earlier the more eastward the timezone.
AFAICT the farthest ahead timezone in the Nintendo account country list is New Zealand with Time zone (UTC+12:45) Pacific/Chatham.
So this should allow the digital game to be played earliest
@WallyWest possible to have had physical Advance Wars for Β£31.99, and the best price so far for physical TotK has been Β£43.96. So that would make Β£75.95
If you only want digital you could've bought the Game Vouchers from the Japanese eShop for less than Β£60 (Β₯9,980) with 5% of that coming back to you in points
"It's not even two weeks away..." ...π€ This does not sound right to me at all. In the context of referring to an event yet to come, this sounds like you're actually saying it's further away! π π΅βπ«
@NinjaNicky that Β£22.99 is standard NSO not Expansion Pack. You can only buy Expansion Pack directly through Nintendo. Though it is possible to get it a bit cheaper by buying the cheaper standard NSO keys and then upgrading to Expansion Pack
I'm not aware of Tesco ever doing such deals and I'm a very regular viewer of deals websites π€
@NinjaNicky It isn't $70/year, it's $50. So I don't know why @Funneefox said that. Unless they meant Family Membership, but that's $80/year and it's for 8 accounts so = $10/year Β―\_ (γ)_/Β―
Shame NL never reported availability from Nintendo Store UK at just Β£12.99 with free delivery Β―\_ (γ)_/Β―
I ordered on the 13th which was when it became available for anyone to order, after initially only being available for people who had previously "registered their interest" when that was a option.
I don't know whether it is still available now as it has a lifetime limit of 1 per customer so appears unavailable to anyone who has already ordered.
@hylianticipated Also - that Β£29.99 crossed-out price is BS. The RRP is Β£21.99. #Scamazon
Did you see how much they were charging for the TotK Amiibo ? ~Β£30 π€ Do you think they will make it available again at a lower/reasonable price before release so the people who already ordered will pay that lower price ("Pre-Order Price Guarantee") ? Of course not π€‘ #Scamazon
You don't need to link a Nintendo account to get the unlocked level each day π§
