Yeah, this is basically unprecedented critical acclaim for a game in the last 15 years or so.

Looks like it'll be late for me. A little disappointing but not overly surprising with Nintendo.

Amazon just charged my card and the status has switched to "Being shipped today". The only thing is that it still says "Arriving 8 Mar - 10 Mar"

I'm a Prime member so it should be earlier than that shouldn't it?

It's a bit of a gongshow. Here's where to go to watch the train wreck.

Yeah I haven't got any shipping information for mine and says delivery as early as March 3. Don't recall seeing my CC being charged yet either.

EDIT: Nice, people who pre-ordered yesterday have their tracking numbers already.

I called my EB Games to double check and they said I'm good to go to pick up any time tomorrow.

So, chalk up one for brick and mortar this time?

https://www.londondrugs.com/nintendo.../L7001217.html

Shows 4 in stock at the 130th Ave SE location, can buy online and pick them up within 2 hours??

I'd try it if I wasn't stuck not driving with these vertigo symptoms.

EDIT: Bundles are also available:

https://www.londondrugs.com/nintendo.../L9473257.html

EDIT2: Someone's buying them, the stock has been going down.

Well, my Master Edition Zelda was shipped. Unlikely to be tomorrow.

I just drove to one that showed 3 in stock and the gentleman there said he hasn't seen them, they're probably locked up in the warehouse, he won't sell them until tomorrow, and I can't put a hold on one.

Worth a shot though!

It would suck if it's scalpers buying the local stock. I love LD and I would buy one but to be honest, I don't think Zelda's really my type of game despite the perfect reviews.

Also just got charged for Best buy pre-order, Alberta seems to be lagging for processing.

Shipping number is in my BestBuy order tracker - but is not yet active on Canada Post website.

Haven't received an email from them saying it's been shipped yet either.

Zelda Master Edition

https://www.ebgames.ca/Platform/Games/727750

Has been going in and out of stock. Worth camping for a bit? F5?

Tried to cancel my Amazon preorder today, got a response saying it was too late. Guess my procrastination is secretly telling me I need to own a Switch.

Seems Nintendo's game and save file management is currently half-baked.

it appears on my order that shipping is via ground - this is embarrassing for Amazon.

It's quite sad that a small package of cable clips I ordered yesterday will arrive sooner than a preorder.
