Don't mind map feedback on that same thread

Feedback would definitely be good, but could make it tricky to find the codes in thread?
Maybe if people PM me to add them to the first post?

Don't really buy discs these days, but was considering retail. Does anyone know if release on eshop will be at midnight tonight?

Not been on to buy anything at release in a while, but didn't it used to be around 11pm (midnight German time)?

Looks like the daily unlock cycle has been changed to every 15 minutes: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/41135/super-mario-maker-update-changes-unlock-system

Here's hoping

Mr E · 10-09-2015 11:06PM

Not there at 11pm anyway... ah well.

It was a silly system and restriction to begin with in the first place. IGN said there was an easy work around but wouldn't say on their video in case Nintendo got on their back. I would guess it's just a matter of changing the date on the clock in the menu settings.

My copy arrived from the game collection, had a brief flick through the art-book and it's better than I expected (far better than the Wii Mario anniversary booklet)

Now I just have to wait until this evening to play...

What time on Tuesday did you get the confirmation e-mail from thegamecollection and do you live in Ireland?

Machismo Fan · 10-09-2015 11:49PM

Yeah, the fix is just to move the clock ahead to the next day. I get the logic behind the staggered delivery of the tools but nine days was too long. They probably figured most people would use the work around anyway and just changed it.

Mr E · 11-09-2015 12:11AM

Downloading now. The patch was auto-queued too.

CiDeRmAn · 11-09-2015 01:11AM

Damn, still no sign of it on the Argos site, and I need to go to bed!

RobbingBandit · 11-09-2015 01:25AM

Might be 4-5 am at this stage

nursewally · 11-09-2015 03:30AM

I'm sitting here on nights in work refreshing like a so-and-so trying to get Argos to update their website but no joy!

sligeach · 11-09-2015 04:19AM

Still nothing happening on the Argos website. I think it could be 6a.m. when it goes live. Looking round more, Smyths haven't budged from their original prices. And as for Gamestop, I'd genuinely feel bad for anybody that gives them money. €60 for the normal pack which is bad enough but an eye watering €80 for the amiibo bundle. That is scandalous. How is Nintendo ever going to get back in the consciousness of players with gougers like them in business? And they're supposed to be the frontline of game retail in Ireland.

nursewally · 11-09-2015 04:43AM

The prices in GameStop are a sin!

Smyths Dundalk told me today they wouldn't be getting a delivery until Saturday? She did say they have the Wii U bundle but not the game or the Amiibo edition which is very strange. Might just ring them again in the morning.

sligeach · 11-09-2015 05:54AM

Still not on the Argos website. Will check in a few minutes just after 6.

sligeach · 11-09-2015 06:05AM

It's up now. €49.99 for just the game and artbook. Still that's the best retail price in Ireland.

They don't have the amiibo bundle though.

Edit: They changed the link already. The original was too long and messy.

sligeach · 11-09-2015 06:15AM

The Super Mario Maker Wii U console, game plus amiibo bundle is also up. It's €313.

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/3191442/Trail/searchtext>MARIO.htm

Again so much better than Smyths price of €350. I wonder will that make them change their prices? Nah!

Edit: And of course Gamestop being the dirty f***s that they are are charging €370. Reduced from €400 so people are getting a bargain. :rolleyes:

Had a look at the Argos stock checker for the console bundle. There's only 1 available for each store so if you're interested, act fact.

sligeach · 11-09-2015 06:35AM

Had a look at the stock checker for the game but it's not working and if you try to buy or reserve on the main site, it says it's available on Monday or Tuesday for collection. Maybe they haven't got delivery of it yet.

30 consoles available in stores around the country(2 in Liffey Valley). Will be curious and keep an eye on it to see if they sell out.

Edit: Some Argos stores won't have the game until Wednesday.

Did anyone preorder from Smyths?
They normally take money the day before but they didn't for me anyway nor did I get an email.

It could be that a Nintendo shipment to Ireland was delayed because Argos like Smyths have the SMM console bundle but not the game. I'd be peeved if I had a Smyths preorder and it's not there today.

They better have my God damn copy today!

CiDeRmAn · 11-09-2015 07:07AM

Damn, going to call into Smyth's this morning anyhow, you never know.
No bundle copy in Argos, feck

I have every finger and toe crossed that this arrives in the post today. If it doesn't I'll be in the biggest ripper all weekend.

Good old argos :cool:

It applies to every Irish retailer. Argos at least are the cheapest out of the lot. A few years ago that was never the case. Shows how much the others have slipped.

GhostInTheRuins · 11-09-2015 07:37AM

Looks like every argos shop within a reasonable distance is sold out already according to their website. Smyths also gives me a no stock but I'm not sure if their site is accurate. I'll try Smyths on my lunch break and if no luck I'll probably just buy it on the eshop.

GhostInTheRuins · 11-09-2015 07:40AM

Feck it, sure it's €19 cheaper on the eshop than smyths, so I'll just buy it there.

CiDeRmAn · 11-09-2015 07:46AM

But physical media is so nice!
And that art book....

Too late!

I know I'll look at the book once and never again so I'm not really bothered.
