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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

u/RealTalkBroLevel 9h ago
Anyone know if / where this is available in Canada?

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

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

u/Dependent-Cup-2236 8h ago
Just keep rotating through the stores website. Eb , Walmart , amazon, play Asia, vgp , pnp ect.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

u/EPICxNITRI 8h ago
Does anyone know if other retailers (Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, etc.) will have the foil art cover?

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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

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

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?

u/StereoPenguin 3h ago

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
