    I'm going to wait for some impressions involving US Smash Bros. If all goes well I should have Smash Bros. months sooner than I'd thought.

    Word is Datel will have some stock today/tomorrow that they'll be shipping (soon hopefully?). No idea how many though. Hopefully enough to include sending one to me! My NMH hasn't arrived but knowing VG+ it'll be this week. Hurry up, Datel.

    Hurry up indeed. This is worse than the time I bought Gears of War and as soon as I got home my Xbox suffered the three RROD. Like Marcus before him,Travis just stands there, staring at me, wielding his cylindrical light bulb katana menacingly...If I don't play it soon, bad things will happen!

    The codejunkies site is really awful. Checking my account the item has gone to unshipped but it doesn't seem like my payment has gone through? I want it now!! Damn it!

    I'd get one but i'm afraid nintendo will just disable it with the next update.

    Any word regards that?

    Any of the ones I've seen on ebay say awaiting shipping early in the week commencing March 3rd. Sure Codejunkies is Datel's site anyway so you in theory they should be the quickest to order from.

    Ack! Got NTSC No More Heroes this morning, but still no sign of my freeloader! Woe is me...:(

    the NTSC version of NMH doesn't work with a modded PAL wii so i would wonder if it will work with the freeloader.

    Are people forgetting that there are sometimes unskippable firmware updates on games. The first time I played Galaxy I had to update first. The European Version of Brawl might have a firmware update because that's gonna be the biggest game of the year for the Wii here.

    Although, now that I think of it, if you already have the American Version, you won't have to update :p

    Feckers! Is it classed as "Unshipped" for you on the site? Time to fire off an inquisitive e-mail methinks.

    I sent them a mail on monday asking when they'd be shipping and I haven't heard anything back at all.

    My status is still the same as well, but some other people's orders apparantly changed to "On Hold" :eek:

    Someone on rllmuk claims his was shipped, by UPS (and he only ordered it on tuesday).

    Was it form the codejunkies site? If not, cancellage followed by re-orderage might be in order.

    They're probably getting battered with euro brawl-wanters. Maybe it's popularity will clue nintendo of europe into the fact that more people will buy the game if they bring it out sooner!

    Was yours shipped? Plenty of people on the various forums are still reporting theirs wasn't sent, I get the feeling CodeJunkies are idiots and didn't ship the first orders first, like any normal business would. They haven't even charged me yet. Morons.

    Re-order it. I re-ordered earlier today and it already says shipped. My initial order (from friday morning, a week ago) is still unpaid and unshipped. They're idiots. I've mailed them to cancel my first order now. Even if it ships it's no huge deal, I'll sell it on here or to someone I know.

    Cheers koneko, I've just "returned" my original order and ordered a new one, will find out on Monday if this one has gone through. I never thought I'd look forward to Mondays.
