Tanooki | 5,113 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'll be keyboard stalking that Game & Watch, don't want to have to choose doing without or dealing with a douchebag scalper as it's a matter of principle to just do without before giving anyone that despicable a damn thing. I'm showing reward clear, and for those who may not be and relying on that lame mobile game it said it posts on the 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing lots of reports of people being able to checkout, but so far this has been worse than PS5 preorders for me. Still no luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adorabear | 69 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I've been trying to get the pins since noon and I haven't been able to add a single item to the cart, including items that aren't the pins. The website appears to be completely broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jicsan | 602 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I did get a code, but the checkout won't load (Error 500 or 503). Then when it does load, no options for shipping populate so no way to proceed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,730 Events Team · Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'll keep trying, but I'm gonna guess I'm SOL on actually getting one, since it says no more codes are available for me. That's nice, the one time I'm not on this type of thing right away and I miss out on it. Shit like this pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,206 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I'm gonna be honest. If this isn't just a bug in the system, I'm a little pissed off right now. I'd almost be willing to be this is just another case where Nintendo assume "Oh, I dunno... maybe 10,000 gamers will care about this. Derp, derp, derp." and then, you know, 10,000,000 showed up and tried to get a silly set of pins. I swear, it's like they have no clue that people actually like and love their products.

RH | 5,206 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I also went to their rules page. Unless I'm just being Capn Unobservant, I see no mention of how many pin sets were created. I'm sure it was more than 10,000 of them but I would not be surprised if it was something like 25k, at most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodysGameRoom | 2,013 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Can someone clarify, I'm late to the party and I just did the Mario Kart Tour thing (I think) and it says on the website you won't get credit fo rthat until 9/29. Was that bogus? Did people get credit for it early? So confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the Mario Kart Tour thing wasn't necessary if you did everything else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,601 Homebrew Team · Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I was able to secure it. I checked the website about 30 mins prior to the opening time listed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that bogus? Did people get credit for it early? So confused. It sounds like people are simply having trouble finishing the process. But, in my case, I just logged in and as you can see from my screenshot, I can't even get a reward code. I get an "I'm sorry but, oh my! We didn't know what we were doing and you missed this!" Which is sad. I registered my game Friday. The Nintendo Gold showed up immediately. I checked the Missions page 4-5 time throughout the weekend and it didn't post that I had met the mission until today. Now, when I check it, I've missed out?! Again, I hope this is just a bug. They didn't say this was limited quantity so this can't be right. And to be clear, I'm less upset about possibly not getting these cool trinkets as I am about the poor attention to customer experience. My inner Karen comes out with crap like this. This is such a cool idea and a great PR move except when they play that Uno Reverse card of awesomeness. This is just annoying and alienates your customer base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's possible I've already "claimed" mine, so I will be able to checkout when the website recovers, but I'm not holding my breath. As @RH said, I'm much more annoyed at the usual Nintendo incompetence than I am about not getting a little trinket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodysGameRoom | 2,013 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Ah bummer. I got the game but hadn't registered it yet. Now it's saying it'll take some time to reflect. Ah well haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,779 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I got my code but it wont let me add the the pins to my shopping cart. I swear Nintendo does this stuff on purpose to get free publicity. Look now we’re all talking about Nintendo.
