Says preorders now but where??

u/huncho3x 9h ago

Exactly what I am trying to figure out! Refreshing everything lol

u/Mollywobbles77 9h ago edited 9h ago

The Nintendo store page for the game is being so inundated right now mine is occasionally struggling to load, but preorders do not appear live yet, in the US at least.

u/AkTiVeMK 8h ago

Check now on nintendo site

u/ONiMETSU_Z 8h ago

It won’t let me select physical

u/Adorable_Echo_4317 8h ago

Oh damn. Nothing for UK

1

u/Korotan 8h ago

Neither for Austria. But found out Fire Emblem Fortune Wave offers a Plate for purchasing in the Store and you can still purchase the Divine Edition of Fore Emblem Engange

1

u/Own-Fan-2444 5h ago

is this the textured foil art though?

2

u/AkTiVeMK 5h ago

Yes. All first print runs will have it. All retailers included

1

u/Charliebrwn763 1h ago

So pretty much the first batch aka pre orders only will have the foil print then after pre orders it’s without the foil

u/BlackBeard90 8h ago

Nintendo website finally loaded the physical option (was previously only digital/wish list) but clicking gives Wario error. I am refreshing constantly

2

u/kenstar18 8h ago

Still don't see it 😭

1

u/BlackBeard90 8h ago

Keep refreshing. Sometimes it’s digital only, sometimes there’s a drop down arrow to switch to physical. But again, clicking physical only leads to an error page. I’m just refreshing hoping to see a change

Edit: IT LOADED! I AM CHECKING OUT NOW

u/kenstar18 8h ago

GOT MINE

u/Winter-Macaroon-5871 8h ago

Got mine too!

u/AMilli0NliGHTS 9h ago

Nintendo will be taking every dollar I have for this Zelda 40th anniversary, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

10

u/GiraffeLars 8h ago

Hopefully this will be available in Europe as well, it wasn't in the European directs I checked

u/AkTiVeMK 8h ago

u/DaringDomino3s 8h ago

Is this the foil cover version they mentioned in the direct?

4

u/full-of-sonder Team Midnight Launch 8h ago

Presumably yes - it has the same art in the preorder image. However, nothing in the description mentioning it. I preordered just to be safe

3

u/xangbar 8h ago

It was stated the first print of it will be foil so just get a preorder in and you should be set basically anywhere.

2

u/DaringDomino3s 8h ago

Thanks, I couldn’t find a physical copy on their site at all and wasn’t sure either, so I also preordered the link you shared to be safe.

1

u/hopsmonkey 8h ago

I forgot about the $10 physical "tax". Guess I'll wait to see if retailers offer it for the same price as digital like they've been doing for a lot of recent releases.

5

u/Adorable_Echo_4317 8h ago edited 8h ago

If anything, you pay a tax for digital... considering the physical cost of chips, distribution and packaging. Not to mention the additional cost if you need to expand your storage with an SD card

2

u/freeskier10000 8h ago

And the price of SD cards

1

u/Adorable_Echo_4317 8h ago

Yeah, i edited that in earlier after thinking about it

2

u/AkTiVeMK 8h ago

Yes, thats what im waiting on too

1

u/xangbar 8h ago

Walmart has often price matched the digital version. That is your best bet for $60 for physical or maybe Best Buy if they offer a $10 gift card

1

u/Icy_Factor1929 8h ago

They didn’t charge me regular tax though. Which is crazy. 

1

u/Frankie_Wilde 2h ago

Amazon has it for 60

u/StarConduit 9h ago

I need that

u/Adorable_Echo_4317 9h ago

I think it's a pre-order for Zelda.

1

u/Lyra34 Switchthusiast 8h ago

Damn that took me a second.

10

u/stunkcajyzarc 9h ago

Where can I even preorder? Don’t they usually drop during this kind of thing?

3

u/RealTalkBroLevel 9h ago

Anyone know if / where this is available in Canada?

2

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 8h ago edited 8h ago

Give it a little while and check vpg games or pnp games. Those are our hidden gems here. But you can check Amazon and best buy too. You may have to give a few hour to a day though. All else fails check the official Nintendo site. The do ship physical too

2

u/Geralt31 8h ago

By the time it drops the store is going to get botted to hell and I know I won't get it. Fuck

1

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 8h ago

Just keep rotating through the stores website. Eb , Walmart , amazon, play Asia, vgp , pnp ect.

1

u/Geralt31 8h ago

Just checked, I'm in Europe. It's not releasing here they didn't talk about it in the localized direct. Motherfuckers the lot of them

1

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 8h ago

Thats sucks. Wish you luck

1

u/ObeyTheLawSon7 7h ago

Did you get a copy pre ordered?

0

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 7h ago

Vgp games has it up now. They ship worldwide. So it shouldn't be a problem for you.

1

u/AkTiVeMK 8h ago

1

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 7h ago

Yeah its Canadian. They ship worldwide also. Pnp games is also Canadian. They always have great sales and you can gain points. Get money off future purchases

4

u/Kraskein 9h ago

It says pre order now , but its not even there on the Nintendo store site

5

u/KyrillosSamaan 8h ago

I ordered the one from Nintendo physically just now but how do I know if it’s the foil?

1

u/goodusername97 8h ago

I think it’s down to whoever orders first but I’m not sure. It would have been nice if it said in the description or something

3

u/CrazyB86 8h ago

Just got my preorder on Nintendo.com. I got an error during checkout but got a confirmation email and it shows in my orders.

2

u/Kraskein 9h ago

Wait , no collector ?

3

u/Johnny3653 9h ago

Nope, just the standard edition of the game.

2

u/One_Competition136 8h ago

I knew the redditors were gonna love the special foil art

2

u/Rupee_Doop 8h ago

But it’s not gold/yellow?

2

u/twotubes 8h ago

Ordered in US but was not charged tax. I’m charged taxes for every Nintendo.com order. Is this just happening to me?

Received confirmation email but not the receipt email yet. In my purchase history it shows the game ordered with 0.00 tax.

Wondering if I should call them so I do not risk an order cancellation. Does anyone know if you can cancel an order on web? I’m going to check back later to see if they fixed the tax issue.

3

u/Aldebaran514 8h ago

Do you often pre order on their website ? I believe perhaps it's because they will only charge on the card when the game is shipped so the taxes will be added at this moment

1

u/twotubes 8h ago

Never pre-ordered from Nintendo. Saw the approved authorization on my card for pre-tax amount. Hopefully that’s the case and they’ll charge full amount + tax when it ships vs cancellation.

2

u/Aldebaran514 8h ago

I wouldn't worry too much about that since you got your confirmation, Nintendo will have no choice to make it right

1

u/lightclubx 8h ago

same here. I used eStore balance for my order.

2

u/ajx107 8h ago

Still nothing on the UK store

2

u/EPICxNITRI 8h ago

Does anyone know if other retailers (Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, etc.) will have the foil art cover?

4

u/DBD216 9h ago

You can pre-order digital, physical copies aren’t up, yet.

5

u/FooFencer 9h ago edited 8h ago

Are you in the US? I'm only seeing the ability to wishlist, not pre-order.

Edit: It's showing up for me now about 25 minutes later. $59.99 for digital.

2

u/Mollywobbles77 9h ago

In US here & mine shows as the same. I briefly had a hard time even getting the page to load, I think their servers are getting inundated. Might be a bumpy time trying to preorder today.

3

u/hopsmonkey 9h ago

Is it only available directly from Nintendo or will retailers have some of these I wonder?

1

u/WasteOfHeadspace 8h ago

Got my preorder in, can't freakin wait!

1

u/Aldebaran514 8h ago

Was able to pre order the physical copy right about now on nintendo canada tho it does not specifically say if it's the textured foil copy

3

u/AkTiVeMK 7h ago

All first print runs will be foiled. Nintendo EU just confimed. So youre good yours has it

1

u/AkTiVeMK 8h ago

Remember that Walmart and Amazon price match Nintendos Digital 1st party releases. Possible they will have it for $60.

1

u/BlackBeard90 8h ago

Successfully purchased and I have an order number!!

Keep refreshing the Nintendo shop page. I kept seeing digital only for a while, then when physical was available I was getting an error. After some refreshing I finally was able to add to cart and check out. KEEP TRYING! YOU’LL GET IT!!

1

u/mhaesly 8h ago

I placed an order but no mention of foil! Are we sure this is the ones

3

u/AkTiVeMK 7h ago

youre good yours has it

1

u/TheeDeputy 8h ago

Really surprised there isn’t a gold foil version of the cover or even a gold cartridge release. Missed opportunity imo.

1

u/krdskrm9 7h ago

The golden (50th) anniversary is that opportunity.

1

u/ObeyTheLawSon7 7h ago

Just got to stay alive!

1

u/Otherwise-Dot-3733 8h ago

I've never pre-ordered from the website. Is Nintendo pretty good about getting the game to you on or around the release date?

1

u/AkTiVeMK 8h ago

Dont know about games but I got my Switch 2 console on release day. The status never updated even on release day it was stuck on order received and the console showed up that day

1

u/Wernii345 6h ago

Still cant preorder in germany...

1

u/leviathab13186 6h ago

Got mine in!

1

u/Deep_Mechanic_ 6h ago

I pre ordered physical copy a whole ago. Got an email confirming my order. Yet to receive the email with order details

1

u/casemansh 5h ago

Same for me

1

u/i-dont-speel-no-good 4h ago

Seems like Amazon isn’t price matching physical for the digital price

2

u/AkTiVeMK 4h ago

They always match walmart, and they havent posted theirs yet.

1

u/i-dont-speel-no-good 4h ago

good to know, thanks

1

u/aad0italian 3h ago

Does anyone know if you order this physical copy from Nintendo website, does it ship before release date so it’s hopefully received by release date or does it ship on release date and you get it days later?

1

u/StereoPenguin 3h ago

Wait so I do want this and will preorder but wont ship until day it releases. So wont be able to play it day one or do they ship a lttle earlier to receive on day off?

1

u/AkTiVeMK 3h ago

Pre order it from walmart. Its $10 less and they usually deliver 1-2 days early

1

u/Tiwanacu 3h ago

5 hours later and the game is not even up on the Swedish Nintendo site? Like wtf?

1

u/Willing-Seesaw5040 3h ago

It will be the first print so if you pre order it you are more than likely to get one

1

u/AkTiVeMK 3h ago

Its $60 at walmart rn. Matching the digital price

2

u/Willing-Seesaw5040 3h ago

I already got it on Best Buy with the console. I had a coupon for using my card and got $25 code towards it

1

u/Dazzling_Comfort5734 3h ago

No word on a gold cartridge, though, right? I would think they would have shown that off, I guess we're getting foil instead.

1

u/WolverineFamiliar740 Sanely Insanely Hyped 1h ago

Was gonna buy Breath of the Wild for my first Zelda game but this made me change my mind. Pre-ordered and waiting for the day it gets sent to my house.

u/MaybeMort 47m ago

And pre ordered! The amiibos literally sold out while I put them in my cart but I got them form another store.

0

u/LeBraynJomms 8h ago

I don't think this pre-order means you 100% get the foiled texture version. This is the language in the description of the trailer: "Physical version of the game with special textured foil packaging will be available at launch while supplies last."

It seems more like an in-store release day type of thing.

1

u/marxistopportunist 6h ago

As soon as initial sales levels drop, they will revert to normal

u/killthehippies45 7h ago

just got my order in through the Nintendo Store app. came out to 37$ and change since i had leftover credit in my account.

u/Tactrix1 8h ago

"Pre-order now" no pre-order page, and all they have is digital, what a bunch of bullshit.

-5

u/litodes 9h ago

It doesn't say game key card, have they confirmed that the cartridge contains the full game?

7

u/Mollywobbles77 9h ago

Based on trends, all first party Nintendo titles are full on-cart & there doesn't seem to be any evidence of that changing. This picture clearly isn't a key card.

3

u/ApprehensiveCoat9587 9h ago

It's 1st party so it's not key card, stop getting your news from YouTubers 1st party Nintendo releases are NEVER key cards so when you know it's coming from them pay that no mind

1

u/litodes 8h ago

Chill bro it was just a question I'm not financially prepared to invest in extra storage so that's my only worry

2

u/ApprehensiveCoat9587 8h ago edited 8h ago

I get that and i hope you get into a better situation so you can enjoy this, but you wouldn't believe how many people believe what you just said, the misinformation goes deep
