Not the best night to be getting powercuts

 

[Broken Hope]

Anyone's Yodel tracking from Nintendo updated to say they have the parcel yet?

 

[merlin]

Played online all night - absolutely faultless online gaming and really great fun. s
Saw budge1972 in most of my games.

This game is immense.

My Nintendo tracking has also not updated. Got the dispatch email earlier, then a later one saying it's next day delivery and should arrive on release date.

I've got serious doubts that it will. Wouldn't shock me if they used the 2-3 day option.

Hope I'm wrong. Really not sure why sending it out on Wednesday to arrive for release is such a hardship for them.

Are any of you having trouble playing online? I keep getting errors everytime i try to play, whether it's global, regional or tournaments, only managed to join 2 games so far out of about 50 attempts.

Tesco, Sainsbury's, both sell WiiU games. Although selection tends to vary from store to store.

Connection error 1 in 10 or so but apart from that it was flawless.

 

[budge1972]

Played online for hours last night and the experience was faultless, no connection errors or lag what so ever.I've posted lots of screenies in the other (hi res) screenshot thread.
What a game !

Did you use paypal? I think it takes longer to get delivered if you do but it generally takes up to an hour even if you don't.

Edit : received mine after 5 minutes.

Nope i assume we will get them tonight and the delivery date will then change to tomorrow, hopefully! Never ordered a system online, so a bit skeptical

I pre ordered a WII U with Mario Kart 8 from Tesco a month ago, it was dispatched yesterday morning but there were no courier or tracking notes. It didn't arrive today, i was really excited thinking id get it early. Well gutted

My tesco bundle just arrived!! Not that well packaged though, hopefully its packaged well inside the actual Wii U box

Loving it so far, only tried one player but will give multiplayer ago this evening. Have to change my tactics a little as you can't bank weapons on this one. Previously when in the lead I would hold green shells and bananas behind me and still collect something else but on this one it doesn't "use" the weapon until you actually fire it. And still haven't managed to destroy a blue shell.
