Did you have Irish address or PM?

Not that i think it matters cos it seemed to be my card they rejected for lack of funds.

I put in my Irish address, while leaving the "UK" part at the bottom because you can't change it anyway. Maybe it does depend on the bank, or maybe it depends on the card (credit v debit)? I used a credit card so the funds can't really be 'reserved' until dispatch...

I used my debit card. Really should be a lot clearer on their site though.

I've been told that my money hasn't been taken but rather the funds have been reserved by my bank and are frozen until dispatch and then released.
To me, that's a long winded way of saying, money is taking straight away on preorders. Must depend on your bank.

It could be this, they probably check if the correct amount of funds are there at the time of pre-order and if not won't let it go through.

I didn't think they could 'freeze' funds that long though, if that what they have indeed done.

I'm half tempted to cancel this now, & just pick up the regular version at some stage...

Feck it, cancelled. The regular version will do just fine.

That tshirt is ****ing hilarious!!

So bad it's good.

Think I'll still just pick this up in the shop though to have it day 1.

The last two games I preordered were halo 4 and street fighter v both of which didn't get to me until at least a week after laud which wasn't the end of world but a pain in the hole at the same time.

I love the look of of that t shirt! That probably say more about my (lack of) fashion sense though.

Kinda reminds of 90's tie dye terribleness.

As I say though it's the only preorder that has me reaching for the purchase button.

Definately a so bad it's good kinda thing.

You could nearly frame it.

Id buy from Nintendo UK all day long if they sell to Ireland. Really annoying trying find these limited editions else where.
Had preorder with Amazon.co.uk but surely that be normal print, so likely cancel that one.
Anyhows thanks for Amazon.de link, But First print there for 77e.

Crazy I know, Buy I collect Steelbooks and that starfox one is stunning.
Amazon.de have always been great to deal with, their Mario Kart 8 Steelbook I got is a thing of beauty... SF one will go nicely next to it.

I'm honestly just trying to hold out for amazon.co.uk to stock it because i have a £12 voucher from the defective kindle charger on my account so if I can use that against the price of it I'd rather it. That Mario Kart steelbook is a beauty though

I'm happy with my cheap as chips regular copy, and given how much fun I had with Starwing on the Snes on release and the N64 edition too, this should be fantastic. Hopefully The Game Collection won't make me wait too long after release to play it.
Steelbooks though, I don't know, I've a lot of them and, in the greater scheme of things, they just blend into the background.
I'm more interested in the arrangements for pervy Uncle Grippy, will Starfox Guard be included with the regular game, as a download code?

My understanding of it is that SF Guard will be available as a download code either separately or with the regular version, but is available as a disk for the first print edition

Starfox Garda!

I'm not buying that game again!
I have it for the N64 and 3DS, and it isn't as iconic to me as LoZ, so no digital copies for me!
Pity they don't stick it on the StarFox Zero disc though, as well as the Snes release... it's probably what they would have done 5 years ago, but now there's too much of a payday to be had by selling it to us instead of giving it away via digital store.

Star Fox Zero - Limited First Print Edition is up on Amazon Italy for €100.

Agree, its a joke at this point. I wonder how many actually get it a third time?
Still prefer when it was called Lylat Wars and came in a stupidly big box.

Star Fox Zero: website update (stages, routes, missions)

Today, Nintendo updated the official website for Star Fox Zero in Japan, adding some additional details and screenshots about the game (and more precisely the stages, routes, and missions).

In order to defeat Andross, you will have to travel across the Lylat system all the way from Corneria. Here’s a list of stages to be found in the game:

• Planet Corneria
• Meteo α
• Area 3
• Planet Zoness
• Sector β
• Titania
• Sector γ
• Planet Fichina
• Planet Fortuna
• Sector Ω
• Venom

Just like in Star Fox 64, there’s secret routes to be found in the various levels of the game. Obviously, those lead to secret bosses, and then alternate routes in the overworld map. For example, in Corneria, if you switch to the Walker, you can head through a tunnel at one point, which leads to a secret boss. But that’s not all: within levels, if the right conditions are met, you can take part in some extra missions.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/afxj/index.html

There's screenshots at the links as well.

Well, I am particularly happy to be able to play both Starfox on my region free Super Nintendo and Starfox 64 on my NTSC N64, at least they are full screen and full speed, rather than the depressingly poor PAL conversions.

Did the US get the rumble pak bundled?

So it would seem...

Wasn't Lylat Wars the first Pal game that Nintendo optimised properly?

I have a vague recollection of that being the case.

CiDeRmAn

If so I stand corrected!
