    Anyone know if Smyth's are charging the full price for separate Zelda and console preorders? Or just the bundle price?

    I preordered the Switch and Zelda LE instore at Smyths last week. The guy told me they'd have it for me on launch day but I never got a text from them confirming it. They've sent me one every other time I've preordered there. Should I be worried?

    Parental control is already out. Look up fire emblem or miitomo and click on the publisher to find it
