Ohhh.. shit... were screwed. Need to call my lawyer for incoming lawsuit.

Haha, I thought the interface seemed familiar. I though they were just using the same ecommerce provider as Zavvi/TheHut. I didn't realise they were actually the ones running Nintendo's online store. Man, only Nintendo would think that was a good idea (and I'm sure they're re-evaluating that decision now!).

 

[jts]

Only got codes for 2 copies of Donkey Kong so far, better than nothing I guess... but here's hoping anyway.

 

[Vexxan]

Dat W101 date :S

Anyone else getting that?

 

[oti]

Oh maaaaan. I would've bought so many games if this was happening in Germany. Nintendo games tend to never fall in price.

 

[intheinbetween]

Dat W101 date :S

Anyone else getting that?

15/01/2014 for W101 here, not that bad

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Dat W101 date :S

Anyone else getting that?

Est: 15/01/2014 for both Pikmin 3 and TW101 here.

Same here... but i'm not expecting to receive the codes.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

Dat W101 date :S

Anyone else getting that?

I had that but i also got the code about 10 min later

 

[TheZjman]

Folders how do they work?

Is there any reason you're not using them? I'm genuinely curious. I just hate a cluttered screen

Wii U folders soon, plez Nintendo

 

[jts]

If everything goes through, I will need a bigger fridge on both my 3DS XL and Wii U.

 

[Stop It]

Dat W101 date :S

Anyone else getting that?

15th here so I wouldn't put much stock into those dates. I imagine demand for the Wii U games has been quite high which explains the delay. I guess only time will tell now.

 

[Fdkn]

Reading that the webstore is managed by thehut actually gave me confidence that they will honour it.

Some months ago I bought GTAV and Dragons Crown for 15€/each in a zavvi princing error and got them without problems.

I may be wrong tho

 

[Palette Swap]

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

 

[Frodo]

Is there any reason you're not using them? I'm genuinely curious. I just hate a cluttered screen

Wii U folders soon, plez Nintendo

I just like to see everything as I scroll by. I fear I would never play some games if they were tucked away inside a folder.

Though I might separate eShop only titles from retail releases sometime.

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

Oh noes

 

[Nilaul]

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

Mine is still normal

 

[wagamer]

We can confirm that the cancellation for the products listed below has been successful.

 

[Highwind]

:lol of-fucking-course.

Oh well.

 

[K1LLER7]

just says processing on mine.

Nintendo pls

 

[kulapik]

Mine still Awaiting Stock Pick.

 

[woodsey1982]

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

Payment problems?

Mine is still processing...

 

[Wickerbasket]

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

Wah.

Knew it was too good to be true.

Grats to those that managed to get in early.

 

[Xater]

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

Still normal here, but I don#t have much hope. Should have bought it immediately without confirmation that it would work. I am sure I could have still sold it to UK GAFer for the same price...

 

[Jazzem]

Mine are still normal, those who have had theirs cancelled; when did you place you orders? Mine were 1:24 and 1:26.

(...I realize I'm probably being too optimistic )

 

[genbatzu]

Dat W101 date :S

Anyone else getting that?

when did you order?

mine are both 15/01 ~

(time is GMT+1)

 

[cyberheater]

Glad I got mine. Sorry for folks who were too late on this.


/installing Pikmin 3 for only £8 as we speak

 

[BraXzy]

Missed it by an hour

 

[Nilaul]

(...I realize I'm probably being too optimistic )

I had one placed early early.. and I had my backups placed after they fixed it.

 

[Palette Swap]

Payment problems?

Mine is still processing...

Nope, no payment problems.

It was a Mario and Luigi order.

Best case scenario for everyone else: they ran out of codes and are canceling some orders.

 

[Jazzem]

I had one placed early early.. and I had my backups placed after they fixed it.

Ah...oh well, if the others get cancelled then at least I managed to get my brother a cheap DKCR

 

[dc89]

I'm still on Processing: Awaiting Stock Pick.

I remain positive.

 

[SuperSah]

Good luck. Nintendo will blow these down faster than anything.

But, should codes not be sent immediately?

 

[wagamer]

It was a Mario and Luigi order.

My cancelled order was Mario & Luigi too, this seems like a good guess.

 

[cyberheater]

Good luck. Nintendo will blow these down faster than anything.

But, should codes not be sent immediately?

My codes took around 30 mins to be sent out after the initial confirmation email.

 

[WillyFive]

Digital code, sold out? ROFL, Nice one Nintendo But yeah, looks like a legit pricing error. Well, that was fun while it lasted... too bad I already owned all the games I was interested in.

In BELIEVELAND, Nintendo would look at this incident and think "oh, but people love discounts! Let's do mega-discounts on the eShop from now on!".
IN BELIEVELAND, Metroid Dread was GAF 2013 GOTY.
In BELIEVELAND, everyone is a GAF moderator.

It sucks that this incident may convince them to drop this stuff all together.

 

[Vexxan]

when did you order?

1:45PM, 11 minutes after you :/

 

[OminoMichelin]

Order canceled fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Stop It]

Processing cancellation.

Pack it up, guys.

My W101 order is still awaiting stock pick. They may be cancelling orders after a certain amount or going through them manually. Still holding hope though
.

 

[intheinbetween]

my TW101 order is still going, 01:44PM

 

[MarkMclovin]

Oh shit I can't get home yet to use the code, so can they block that?

 

[Son Of D]

Dream Team and Pikmin 3 are still awaiting stock pick. Fat chance I'll get it though.

 

[Nilaul]

Oh shit I can't get home yet to use the code, so can they block that?

That would be.... unethical.

 

[intheinbetween]

Oh shit I can't get home yet to use the code, so can they block that?

that would be illegal

 

[Principate]

That would be.... unethical.

Probably also a legal nightmare considering they have your money.

 

[PetrCobra]

ordered 01:28PM, order pending, starting to lose hope here...

But what amuses me is the idea that they might decide to send some little gift to everyone who got their order cancelled... the british royal family would have second Christmas

 

[OminoMichelin]

I got an email from paypal confirming the payment, but the email says I have not been charged. Should I worry?

 

[Shadders]

People seeing their orders cancelled, had you ordered all of the games? Did you set up an account today to order these?

Just wondering if there's a pattern to cancellations or if it's just those after a certain time.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I hope Nintendo's take away here is that people buy things when they are cheap.

 

[PetrCobra]

I got an email from paypal confirming the payment, but the email says I have not been charged. Should I worry?

It will be charged once the order is processed (item by item) or it will be cancelled when the order is cancelled. No worries.

 

[Shadders]

I hope Nintendo's take away here is that people buy things when they are cheap.

I doubt Nintendo will even be aware, the store is run by The Hut.
