Hi Folks,

Does anyone have any information regarding delivery dates for the above ? I paid up last Monday, and was told they would be delivered this week, although I wasn't given any dates etc.

I'm impatient !

sound_wave · 07-02-2005 11:43am

im in the same boat as you my friend! i paid on tuesday, and i was hoping it would be here by friday, but friday came and went, so im hoping either today or tomorrow

has anyone got theirs yet from nintendo?

deRanged · 07-02-2005 11:56am

I paid last monday morning, still (impatiently) waiting.

RobertFoster · 07-02-2005 1:28pm

I was told the end of this week, and if it didn't show, to call them back.

Kimbot · 07-02-2005 1:36pm

What/where is this????????

rainbow kirby · 07-02-2005 1:40pm

They said the end of this week to me, and I paid on Thursday. C'mon Nintendo, we're impatient!

ondafly · 07-02-2005 1:54pm

Its to be posted to me at work. so as soon as I get it, I'll reply here !

Syth · 07-02-2005 1:55pm

Paid on Tuesday last week. Said it'd arrive end of this week. *shakes fist*

jonny24ie: if you have 1000 Nintendo stars and €190 Nintendo will send you a DS with demo of Wario Ware, Metroid Hunter and Super Mario 64x4 (and a TShirt). They are probably all sold out by now though.

Paid last Monday and still no sign. Hope we're not left waiting too long.

Where is the offer on the site lads?
I assume it is on the 24:7 lounge bit?

according to posts on nintendo-europe. People in the UK have started receiving their DSs today !

ondafly · 08-02-2005 3:33pm

mine arrived today at 10am by ParcelForce *shudder*

Nice little machine ! Find yoshi a bit slow in Mario though

sound_wave · 08-02-2005 7:05pm

mine arrived as well this morning at about 11, so i skipped uni and stayed playing it all day

deRanged · 08-02-2005 8:04pm

Right - I'm taking tomorrow off in the hopes that it'll arrive.

sound_wave · 09-02-2005 1:37am

good idea my friend, you wont be disapointed!

super_furry · 09-02-2005 12:57pm

Still no sign of mine, despite the payment going through last Monday. I'm getting impatient.

TheAlmightyArse · 10-02-2005 10:03am

Mine arrived yesterday. It's lovely. Super Mario 64 is pretty awkward without an analogue stick though, and the thumbstrap isn't as much use as I'd hope. I really can't wait for the ful versions of Metroid Prime: Hunters and Wario Ware Touched, though. 'Specially that Wario.

super_furry · 10-02-2005 1:04pm

I'm still waiting. How was yours delivered? Was it the postman or a special delivery?

sound_wave · 10-02-2005 1:29pm

That sucks that it hasnt arrived yet man

Mine was delivered by parcelforce! I dunno why you havent yours yet, maybe give nintendo a ring and ask!!

Wario ware Touched is very addictive alright, just one more go, I haven't played any of the other Wario ware titles on the GBA so im thinking of putting in a preorder for the US version. What level can you guys get to in the demo?

RobertFoster · 10-02-2005 1:33pm

mine's not been deliverd yet either

*waits*

deRanged · 10-02-2005 1:36pm

I'm also still waiting.

TheAlmightyArse · 10-02-2005 2:08pm

I think my highest score in Wario Ware is somewhere around 50. My memory is only slightly better than that of the demo's game card, which has none. Grr. Though the lack of battery back-up prevents things like being metaphorically kicked in the nads every time I'm reminded that my top score in Mario 64's Wanted was beaten by a girl on her first go. Grr x2

Did everyone else's seedy "Touch Me" t-shirt come in XL? It hardly looks flattering in a smaller frame, and that surely isn't conducive to any memorable "touching" scenarios. Surprised that one got past Nintendo's QA.

sound_wave · 10-02-2005 2:23pm

yeah my T-shirt is extra large, im wearing mine today, albeit under my hoody! ill wear it in my next lecture for the craic! i got up to 53 yesterday! anyone know how many levels are in the demo?

deRanged · 10-02-2005 2:58pm

I just got mine - stupid parcelforce delivered it to the wrong address.

sound_wave · 10-02-2005 3:09pm

\o/ ...wooohooo!! - now enjoy!!

stupid parcelforce :rolleyes:

rainbow kirby · 10-02-2005 4:04pm

Mine arrived this morning! \o/
A size XL t-shirt with 'Touch Me!' across the chest isn't the most flattering thing for me to be wearing...given that I'm both female and not size XL.
WarioWare ROCKS! Can't wait for the full game, my little sister is getting it with her DS on release day. Yoinked! Metroid is fun too, but I'd love to see a new 2D side-scroller Metroid game for DS, or a Zero Mission-esque remake of Super Metroid. I'm really enjoying Super Mario 64 too, though I've only got 2 stars so far because I wanted to try out all the other stuff!

Syth · 10-02-2005 8:04pm

Mine hasn't come yet. I thought it came via an Post, and our post came today but no DS

However if what deRanged says to right, then it might have come, I'll find out when I get home.

super_furry · 10-02-2005 8:44pm

I take it Parcelforce would leave a note if you're not there when they try to deliver it?
