Not to be a downer, but I seem to recall this happened with the 2013 sale and none of it went through.

Went through for me in the law and rush. Got paper Mario and a few other bits that time.

I've a click and collect order with Tesco for tomorrow. I'm bringing a cannister of petrol and a box of matches with me in case they try to renege on it.

I did that a couple of years ago when the great 1c game hunt was on. They didn't supply ANY of the games that were listed in stock at the time of the order. And, they're not required to apparently. Bring a lighter - your rage-filled hands will be shaking too much for matches.

Don't bother. It's cancelled. I just got a phone call from them saying my order was cancelled.

I'm leaving the petrol at home and bringing this instead.

Me too, expecting nothing but will be nice to know if it works

You'd think Tesco would take down the links if they've no stock of said products but they haven't. In fact they've added 10 more products since yesterday.

From hukdeals http://www.thegamecollection.net/tokyo-mirage-sessions-fe-wii-u.html?tduid=8b4ee8885c66abb5b9fdbd6cd1d84eb5

Tokyo mirage sessions is a pretty good game worth playing, i really enjoyed it the songs were catchy its colourful, funny and the battling was good, probably the last best wiiu game before zelda comes out.
34.50 euro before delivery, worth picking up if you have a wiiu.

sligeach

The thing with Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is that its price now has only entered the real world. It was a rip-off to start with and the Fortissimo Edition was scandalous. Both in terms of price and availability. Nintendo created a scalpers paradise with that.

"probably the last best wiiu game before zelda comes out."

Ahem! I should be getting Paper Mario: ColoUr Splash in the post tomorrow. A brand new, day 1 release that costs the same price as TMS#FE only now, and that came out months ago and completely bombed by the way.

sligeach

It's sold out and there's still 8 and half hours left on the deal, could have been gone sooner, I only just checked now. I wonder if they had many copies set aside. This happens with other games and then it's back in stock the next day.

Ace Attorney

Perhaps the wrong statement to choose was last best wiiu game, i know it didnt do well in sales, it didnt do bad in reviews tho, i still say its worth picking up. Especially at the price it was going at.

Can someone help me out? Does Mario tennis ultra smash on the Wii U have a manual?

No I wouldn't think so. The early games came with a single sheet "manual" and depending on the game, maybe a Club Nintendo points card. Now, most games just come with the grey Important Information booklet. I have the game myself but I've no interest in breaking the seal to find out.

Nintendo have PDF manuals on their site, here's Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash - Manual (PDF, 1161 kB)

Is it that you're looking to buy it or do you want to learn all the moves? I presumed you're looking to buy it secondhand.

In any Wii U game, press the home button, and there'll be a software manual option there!

There's your problem right there. You thought you were ordering Mexican food. Did you ask for Super Salsa Burrito's on Wii U?

Edit: If it wasn't limited to just the eShop you could have ordered Guacamole! Salsa Tortillas Championship Edition.

Glad I'm of a pure mind and couldn't take that post completely out of context.
