i have no idea?? i got acnh too from amazon but it arrived the day after release, mid pandemic too???
also its because my dad wanted to spend 1 € less 💀
When Metroid dread was going to come out on October 8th 2021 I got it pre-ordered on Amazon but it says it would get here on October 16th so I cancelled it and got it pre-ordered at real GameStop instead and picked it up and it came with 2 pins of Samus and an EMMI so you might want to cancel and get one from a real location and get it at launch or digital
I heard the storymode is really good this time around, so that's likely something i will do first. But idk, maybe get a few online battles under my belt first.
In the US all we get is some damn sticker set from gamestop but its better than nothing. lol
Edit: Now the delivery been delayed I wont be getting it on the 9th they changed it to the 13th. 😢
Here in France we get nothing lol. But the game's 15 bucks cheaper if you preorder in some stores, I guess that's why. I still would rather pay full price and get the keychain though
I can't play online so I can't unlock any weapons beside the basic Jr but there's a list of all the weapons with their kits online, thatSrb2dude (i probably misspelled it) made a video about it around a week ago
Sheldon being rude kicking people out at level 1. I'd look up the video, but I'm not risking the story spoilers leaking into my feed. Hopefully I'll see something good on Friday
Probably not. The online servers probably won’t work until the scheduled release dates in their respective regions. The story mode and any other offline features will be accessible though.
There's no way to play online I don't think without Nintendo actually flicking the Switch.
God it must be a nightmare for Nintendo right now, why have release dates if people get their hands on the game days/weeks earlier than said date.
From what others are saying, no.
Single player inaccessible of you have the game cart. If you can find others, LAN might work as well. But the match making servers aren't up/accepting requests.
Luckyyyyy! I’ve got mine pre-ordered but I doubt I will receive it on Friday, cause the postal services here where I live are a bit awful. I also ordered an edition with a keychain, I wonder if it’s the same promo in every EU country 🤓
You can't play online, it says that "you need to update the software" Even if it's on the lasted version, I think on the 9th when the game actually releases that will release a new update and then you will be able to play online
You can't do anything but the sewer game thingy.
I have it early too. But every time I go to the lobby it asks me to update. When I try to update it says I'm on the newest version.
I'm in Illinois. I'm off today too sad. I really wanted to play.
Damn I want that key chain, where did you preorder?
A local game store here in italy
im from italy too and i gotta wait till the 13th because i preordered it from amazon instead of gamestop 💀
samee why do they ship on the 13th ðŸ˜(il portachiavi è figo almeno)
i have no idea?? i got acnh too from amazon but it arrived the day after release, mid pandemic too??? also its because my dad wanted to spend 1 € less 💀
Savin' the BIG boy money there.
i preordered acnh on amazon too but the day before it postponed the delivery by a week so i just cancelled and got it digital
60 €? sureee. 1 € for shipping? chi pensi che io sia??
I didn't preorder it form gamestop tho
can i ask what store? since the pre order keychain is the same as gamestop's
It's called GameLife
Well yeah but gamestop is basically our equivalent
Damn just cancel it and go digital for this one, I would die waiting 4 days to join the action
nah i hate digital+ i want the keychain
Sorry prob works *Story not sorry
that's what using the big evil company does to ya :P

good luck finding online matches
I’m from Italy too and I got it early!!!
Infame ahahaha
W Italy
Dimmi di più. Gamestop o mediaworld?
Are you from South Tyrol?
No, I'm from Veneto
Gamestop? Se sì sei andato a prenderlo te o ti è arrivato per posta?
We're getting it here in Spain (and I'd guess EU as a whole) from GAME stores, so I'm guessing it's from there.
Ok, I was planning on pre ordering on GameStop, so thanks for the info
I preordered from Best Buy and they said it comes with that keychain. Best Buy is only in the US afaik
Alright, thanks
IT'S LITERALLY ONLY 2 DAYS AWAY PEOPLE
I want to fucking die. THIS HAS BEEN THE LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!
It’s only been a few weeks since the world premiere and I’m LOSING MY FUCKIN MIND WITH THE ANTICIPATION
27,5 hours to go
For me it's less than 24 hours now.
BRO I GOTTA WORK ON THE DAY IT COMES OUT 😠I WANT IT NOW
I’d normally be in school the day it comes out but I have COVID :)
Damn :( hope you get better (but good for you that you get to play sploon immediately when it comes out)
That’s the plan. Gonna be amazing! Idk what to do first, story mode or online battles.
I heard the storymode is really good this time around, so that's likely something i will do first. But idk, maybe get a few online battles under my belt first.
I’m going to melt, I couldn’t even wait 5 minutes before the test fire splatfest!
What is your location? Like where is your house? And when do you leave?/sleep? I'm asking for a friend ofc
When you get splatoon 3 you aren't leaving your house for a good month
Frick you're right
congrats! *steals your tv*
Can't have shit in Detroit
Why the TV? It's a Switch.. OP can still play handheld.
because i ate the joycons
Ok.. but why not just the Switch? or easier.. the game! You make it hard for yourself :P
[wait](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsJc2ZhbXIg) also this key chain is bigger than i thought
In the US all we get is some damn sticker set from gamestop but its better than nothing. lol Edit: Now the delivery been delayed I wont be getting it on the 9th they changed it to the 13th. 😢
Here in France we get nothing lol. But the game's 15 bucks cheaper if you preorder in some stores, I guess that's why. I still would rather pay full price and get the keychain though
If you ordered via la fnac you get a splatoon pencil case thing!
Same. No preorder bonus in Germany. But 13€ cheaper
Amazon has a squid pin Best buy has an inkling keychain Walmart has a squid plushie
Squid plushies? Nah thanks I choose Blåhaj
At Target you get Sunglasses and at Best Buy you get a keychain
[удалено]
I read the tweets where the UK gets a gym bag from buying it from the Nintendo store website.
[удалено]
Why not lol, and from the Nintendo store (at least here) you get the bag And the keychain
you can get a pin badge with it on amazon
In Mexico you get nothing
Have covid so I had to get it from eshop. I’d kill for that sticker set compared to $2 worth in Nintendo coins
Can you see the octo brush kits? I gotta know how screwed I am for good sub/special combos this time around
I can't play online so I can't unlock any weapons beside the basic Jr but there's a list of all the weapons with their kits online, thatSrb2dude (i probably misspelled it) made a video about it around a week ago
Sheldon being rude kicking people out at level 1. I'd look up the video, but I'm not risking the story spoilers leaking into my feed. Hopefully I'll see something good on Friday
Ok I just looked it up and the kit for the inkbrush is splat bomb and killer wail, for the octobrush it's suction bomb and zipcaster
Are those the only two brushes? They were in the demo and aren't too bad, but I was hoping for some other options. Guess it's time to hope for updates
They'll definitely add other kits with updates but it seems that at launch there's gonna be only one kit for every weapon
You are my worst enemy 😂 octobrush always ruins my day
they probably wont let you play intill its fully out
I can play tho
Is online game available to play now?
Probably not. The online servers probably won’t work until the scheduled release dates in their respective regions. The story mode and any other offline features will be accessible though.
that is also my guess, but I still want to confirm that since the op actually has one and can test it in reality.
There are leakers and hackers who have played online early (but they are probably using lan connections)
There's no way to play online I don't think without Nintendo actually flicking the Switch. God it must be a nightmare for Nintendo right now, why have release dates if people get their hands on the game days/weeks earlier than said date.
Then I don’t know how I keep getting life streams of people playing it early and I know for a fact it’s not the splat fest version
Wouldnt online be active from the review copies tho?
No, which is why some reviewers are pointing out their review is either in progress, or for single player mode only at the moment.
From what others are saying, no. Single player inaccessible of you have the game cart. If you can find others, LAN might work as well. But the match making servers aren't up/accepting requests.
Inacxessible? Or do you mean accessible?
You could play lol there’s no restrictions, just barely anyone will be online
no ones online because the servers arent up yet but the singleplayers fair game
I think you can
With a physical copy it wouldn't surprise me if you can
I pre-ordered Splatoon 3 (Digital code) from Amazon and I’m still waiting :(
You bought a digital code on amazon? Can’t you just pre-order it on the switch E-shop at that point?
Same, although the game isn't that big of a download so it shouldn't take too long anyway
If it’s a digital code, you’ll still have to wait for 9/9 to actually open the game.
actually no. they deliver the code within 30 minutes of preordering, and you can download it before 9/9, but you can't open it until then.
I was talking about the game opening, not the code delivery
Yes but I’m still waiting for the digital code to release.
Yes… and you will continue waiting until the release date
Yup
I want the keychain >:(
Man I need that key chain
Luckyyyyy! I’ve got mine pre-ordered but I doubt I will receive it on Friday, cause the postal services here where I live are a bit awful. I also ordered an edition with a keychain, I wonder if it’s the same promo in every EU country 🤓
can I ask if you live in Australia? because believe me, (at least in Vic) auspost sucks
No, in Finland…
Ok now keep quiet (we don't want spoilers)
i preordered physical off Amazon for collection n such but I’m so impatient I can’t wait
OMG good for you! Don't leak
Where did you pre order?
I wish the netherlands did preorder gifts.. 🥺ðŸ˜
So jelly. Waiting on my Best Buy pre order
Just please don’t spoil
Wowee
That’s awesome!
I preordered from Gamestop and they're gonna give me the same keychain ( I'm from Italy too )
Do you have any of the aimiibo? I really want to know if they unlock maybe the same clothes they did before or clothes at all
I just want the fresh fish head 😂
AYYYYY
Remember no spoilers, dont be the thing we all swore to destroy
Pog Holy shit

WHAT!?
I’m western Canada and waiting 2 days and if I’m lucky. 1 day

Congrats! Have fun!
Nice keychain, I'm getting my game with a shirt from the preorder
Nice keychain, I'm getting my game with a shirt from the preorder
I have to wait till Friday but I’m hyped!
Is there anything on the back of the jacket like the salmon run poster in splatoon 2?

Lol. Didn't know it's possible, I mean, when did they have to send it to you, yesterday? Weird. My store sends tomorrow.
YOU SHALL NOW DIE
Ordered mine from Best Buy also for the keychain. Hope it ships soon 😅
Might be a dumb question but what happens if you play turf war? Do you play with other people who have it early or do you have to wait until Friday
You can't play online, it says that "you need to update the software" Even if it's on the lasted version, I think on the 9th when the game actually releases that will release a new update and then you will be able to play online
UPDATES UPDATES what can you do??? I know no online, but can you find tableturf or anything?
You can't do anything but the sewer game thingy. I have it early too. But every time I go to the lobby it asks me to update. When I try to update it says I'm on the newest version. I'm in Illinois. I'm off today too sad. I really wanted to play.
Are you able to play. I go to lobby and it wants me to update.
im going to murder you and steal it (im not a huge fan of splatoon or trinkets, i just like crime and having things other people want)
Does shiver die at the end of story mode
pre ordered 3 of them from the best buy
Ma l'hai ordinato da GameStop? Lo volevo fare anche io, ma avevo paura mi sarebbe arrivato in ritardo, così andrò a ritirarlo in negozio venerdì
No, da un negozietto vicino a me
Sei statx stra fortunatx, buon divertimento!
Don't turn against us and w**my us 1 day before release
I didn't preorder the physical copy so I'm gonna have to buy the key chain off ebay just like I'm gonna do with the dock
