Hi friends just curious to see how are you guys picking up Smash. Have you got it pre-ordered or will you be doing digital through E-Shop ? Personally I want a physical copy just to have it on my shelf I'm interested to hear your thoughts though :lucas::estatic:

Pre ordered. I really like physical copies, they just make me feel comfortable if that makes any sense at all.

The 3ds version I'm getting digitally. I would prefer the physical copy but I'm so impatient, once midnight strikes I want to immediately start downloading it. also I don't want to have to wait in line, mainly due to social anxiety.
The Wii U version I'm definitely gonna get a physical copy.

I pre ordered a physical copy, but had to trade in Battlefield 4 to have the extra money to do so.

I'm getting it if I win the Nintendo Open in my local area.

Other than that, I literally have no way of playing this game.

Not at midnight ;(

At least my copy is paid for so there is zero chance I won't have it on Friday

I planned on ordering it on the eShop, but then I decided I wanted a physical copy. I spent freaking 50 bucks on the damn order. I'd BETTER get it on Friday.

Digital for that midnight release on Thursday. Just... hopefully the servers won't be overwhelmed to the point where no one can download it. (Which would probably happen anyways :/ )

Pre-ordered at my local gaming shop because of the pre-order bonus and because I'm not very keen on having digital versions. I prefer having the box in hand like the good old days. (plus it's safer should my 3ds die one day)

Preordered at GameStop. I'm planning on buying the digital version later on but it is too risky for me to bank on the servers not slowing to halt. I need my Smash ASAP

Hoo boy here go... at first I was going to buy it at GameStop but remembered I had work that morning so I changed my pre-order to digital which mean I could download the game at 9am (two hours before work) but then I remembered: the eShop will have the game up at Midnight and speaking of which does it mean literally midnight because I live in Cailfornia and time zone and all that

Though a warning, eshop will explode at midnight it will take forever to download.

It might be at 9pm when you can download it bud, I used to live in Michigan and I got it 3 hours before California physically, but I moved to California and noticed when downloading games at midnight here its at 9pm.

Though they might have changed it or I might be crazy. Just it wouldnt hurt to check at 9pm.

The reason for that is they put it on the eshop when it strikes midnight est time so basically everybody else not in est time zone gets it an hour to 3 hours earlier.

Pre-ordered the game and headed for a midnight release on Thursday.
Then every Friday at my new school is a half day, and I'm used to little sleep, so I'll be fine for a few hours of the day, get home, take a nap, play more, and then it'll be time for my first tournament of many,

I'm not taking any chances with my country's economical inestability, I'll buy it as soon as it appears on the eshop and save money from importing it.

Where in Cailfornia do you live ? I live in Oakland I'd like to ask if you could PM me on Thursday to confirm what you predict is true if the game does get up on eShop in a hour to 3 hours earlier if it does I can tell my other friends who plan to purchase it digitally the thumps up download it

I don't live in California I live in South Carolina. Nintendo always releases their games on the eshop at 12 est time so when its 12 est time it is 9 pm pst time.

Considering shops around me will take 2-3 days to get it ( maybe even 7, I'm not in the US ) I'm considering digital download. But I'm totally buying the physical copy later on. I like having the box.


Edit: So the company that I buy games from just now opened Preorders.

So eff the E-shop version :D
