I preordered 1 and then ordered two separate times this morning, tryin to help B.A. get one. One was for pickup and one for shipping. I will cancel them as soon as I get a second copy from my orders.

Yeah I was able to get pickup at two different stores close to me. If they let me get any extra beyond my own two copies, I'll get them to people here on VGS who missed out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A. | 1,141 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I was able to get and Amazon order and a Best Buy store pickup order in this morning. They are both due in about a week. Usually these types if releases don't get a 2nd batch, so we'll see. Hopefully one shows up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshdose | 56 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I was able to order one from Best Buy just now. It said unavailable at first, but I kept refreshing the page and checking back and eventually saw the “add to cart” option. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,779 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just walked into Gamestop and asked did you guys get that new Fire emblem 30th anniversary game in? They frowned at me and were like nah we didn’t get it in. I was like well my brother just texted me that his copy came in today and he picked it up. Then they were like oh yea we only got a few in for people that preordered it. So I was like yea I preordered it. Then their frown turned into a smile and they were like oh yea we have your copy right here! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherDestroysTheGond | 717 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Gamestop still hasn't shipped out my preorder. Really disappointed that the replica game is a brick of plastic. In the preview shot I thought it would just be a clear empty NES shell. Oh well. Still cool that Nintendo acknowledge this game exists outside of Japan. Time to get games that haven't been released in the West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbogus | 21 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 From the one picture I saw of the physical cart art piece I figured it was going to look like that. I would have preferred a slightly less abstract object more resembling an actual NES cart, but I'll still be keeping it in my collection. Looks like an award given out at my office job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makar | 2,062 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Finally found something to use my gold coins that I won from the Tetris 99 tournament on. Should be a good time going through the original fire emblem! Anyone else start playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping I can still somehow get the collectors edition. For now, digital will have to do. Only $6 and free for me so why the heck not.

Well, I suppose someone truly dedicated person (too much time on their hands?) could potentially use some tools to hollow-out the acrylic and then put a rom chip into it. That, would be quite the undertaking... but it would be rather nice to return noted gesture to the big-N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
