I have a really hard time understanding why this is not already available for preorder here in the U.S. when it's already available in so many other countries. There's absolutely no rhyme or reason for it.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it until Inafune, comcept, or someone officially makes a statement or gives me an answer: Give me one reason that backers who helped you make this game in the first place have to wait until retail release for this game, a game that is now getting a collector's edition physical copy that we were never promised or able to get via backing?
Making the very people who believed in comcept, in this game, and in Keiji Inafune WAIT so they can have a retail release as well is astoundingly incompetent and proverbial spit in the face of those people.
Maybe they need to contact Yacht Club Games and figure out how to run a successful Kickstarter and make a video game.
@allav866 You just summed up everything I hated about Dream Team in one paragraph. This and other silliness in that game is why it's still unfinished in my queue.
My only question is: is it better than Sticker Star and Dream Team? Because both of those were kind of repetitive and had lots of unnecessary fetch quests and the like. It bogged the game down in ways the older Mario and Luigi games and Paper Mario games didn't. The "Luiginary" and sticker mechanics were pretty clunky and took away from the core aspects of the game, as well.
As a backer, and an early one at that, I have to say that all the shenanigans around this game have pretty much killed any expectation I have for it. But, two huge issues have angered me:
1. The demo is for PC only. I have all Apple devices and can't play it. Plus, I got my copy for Wii U, why is there not a demo for each system. I know this would probably take time but if the games are being coded for each system and it releases in February, surely some significant progress has been made for each version enough to get a demo out of it.
2. Originally, when a publisher was announced for the game, no mention was made of how this would affect backers. I personally feel that backers should get the game before its offered as a physical release in stores, because we are the ones who made it possible to even have the game in the first place. But, I waited, thinking that it would be announced later. So far, nothing has been said about when backers will get their download codes which leads me to believe that we will get our copies when everyone else does, which feels like a slap in the face to those who believed in Comcept and Inafune enough to back in the first place.
sigh I guess I'll just go back to playing Mega Man Legacy Collection and keep hoping Capcom remembers Mega Man someday.
So....people in the other 43 states don't play Nintendo games? Crap move, Nintendo. I'd have to drive over 8 hours to get to a location for this....FAIL.

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st December (North America)
Once again, North American VC releases are disappointing. Where is Super Mario RPG? Where is Metroid: Zero Mission? Sigh.

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (North America)
@Mr_Zurkon THIS. Absolutely this. I'm sick of waiting. That's one of my favorite Metroid games. NOA, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
Puzzle and Dragons for me...but where is USA's Metroid Zero Mission?! C'mon, Nintendo!
Re: Capcom Could Be Up For Sale After Shareholders Reject Anti-Takeover Plan
Well, it's about time. Maybe my once favorite company will stop sucking and finally put out a new Mega Man game.
