Yep that’s the case and I just did all that a couple of hours ago

Still need my code though for eshop
Oof. I hope you get it in time. All the codes expire by the 31st, and I'd hate for you to have to buy the character who is supposed to be an early buy bonus. Protip: if you have a gmail, check your promotions section, that's where mine got shuffled. I thought my code was lost somewhere because I never go into the promotions section of my gmail.

Hope so too

But I wouldn’t be surprised if I got the code soon

That that was the case I would probably contact Nintendo Email and tell them I got the code for piranaha plant too late

I hope that would work out for you, but as someone who's contacted their customer service before, they can be kind of rigid on just what they can and can't just undo for you depending on the task your asking of them. Giving you a new code or just giving you PP seems kind of 50/50 either way based on my past experiences.

Wait dude

You made a mistake

https://smashbros.nintendo.com/buy/

Look at the expire date for the codes.

6/30/2019

The codes don’t expire till June so everyone who registers physical copy’s before the 31st will infact get the plant

Oops, my bad. Guess the deadline to sign is the 31st. Thanks for clearing that up. Just make sure you register that code before June then.

I may have to check my email again as I too do not have the code. I'm going to email Nintendo as I think I may have accidentally deleted the code.

I'll need to dig around for the code...not sure if I have it or not anymore since its been a bit. I discovered it awhile back, but I forgot about it until just now.

You gotta look around in any wierd places in ur email like spam. Or like how gmail has my account where its split between regular emails, promotional and social, it might be in the promotional section (which is where i found mines).

I know I had gotten my code awhile back. I'm trying to retrace my steps since I forgot, but is it possible to enter the code, once its received, in the eShop even though Piranha Plant hasn't been released yet?

I might have done that just to make sure I wouldnt lose the code so I could just download when ready and not wait.

I hope you're right. I also hope it's thursday :p But friday makes more sense.
Japan hits Friday earlier than most of the world, so if they did a global release at midnight UTC+9 this could potentially happen? Although I think Nintendo has been doing digital releases based local time for the switch? We might at least know if it's worth it to stay up till midnight Thursday!

Ahhh excited~

We plant gangsters need only survive a few more days without the leafy menace. I'll be up past midnight anyway, so I'd be happy if it dropped on Thursday.

Yea got my 60 coins yesterday (registering) so I’m waiting for my code too

Atleast even if we don’t get them by the 31st the codes do t expire til June 30th and that’s a long long time

There was a problem fetching the tweet

"Planned/scheduled for early February" was probably not meant to be taken so literally.

Dunno if Plant drops alongside the patch, but their files will almost definitely be added along with the update (around 5 PST).

I know I got mine awhile back, but I can't find it anymore (I dont like my email count to be high, so I routinely delete anything old). Hopefully, when I got the code, I just immediately put it in so I could just download when it's out without having to worry.

I'd be pissed if I lost it, but to be honest, I'd likely just buy the plant later when he becomes available lol.

EDIT: Gonna edit my post since I don't want to double post.

I decided on a name for my Piranha Amiibo: Carnivine
He will be the 5th Gen Pokemon rep that they haven't given us! Playable full grass type that they refused to give us!

But Carnivine is 4th gen tho.
Oops...Well, I went and fixed it; keeping my original blunder in there for shame lol.

EDIT: wait...we already have Lucario who's a 4th gen....balls!!
Another edit will be needed

I for one welcome our new plant overlords. :ultgreninja: can water them, :ultincineroar: can keep them warm in the winter, :ultwiifittrainerm: can supply them with the sun, and :ultlittlemac: can teach them how to punch people in the face. My mains have been training for this day.

(though I think people are getting ahead of themselves, there isn't confirmation our plant baby is even going to be released at patch drop. Always a chance he'll be later activated)

I really do hope it's today.

I think it might just be the patch, but we never know :)

Even if it is today, I dont think I have time to test him out. KH III has been taunting me the last 14 years. I will not be denied.

Optimistic me: We're getting the plant today! :D

Pessimistic me: We won't get the plant till next patch :'(

Compromising me: We'll get the files for the plant today, but only hackers will be able to use them till the 1st... Time to accidentally brick my switch! xD

many are skeptical because why would nintendo be silent about piranha plant being in this update and not even try to hype it up?

this update will probably be nothing special

Its a 2.0.0 update, not 1.3.0. Please don’t be pessimistic just for the sake of it. They wouldn’t jump a whole number for something minor.

I'm not...just saying hiding a whole character is something else could it just be bug fixes and buff/nerfs?
Thing is, they aren’t “hiding” him. They already unveiled him, went over his moveset, and throughoutly explained how to redeem him. But you could most certainly be right. I just think its more fun to hope.
