Gaming Getting Odyssey early...how?

[Eastonator12]

I'll be waiting in a hospital for 3 days for my brothers sickness, so I was wondering if there was a way to get Odyssey early on the 26th. If I bought a EUR or JAP eshop code, since it releases "earlier", if I do that, will I be able to change the language to English? I don't want to be playing a game with text i cant understand. Thanks.

Depends. I would go check out the Japanese page for Mario Odyssey and translate the page to see what languages it supports. If you can't do that, your best bet is a Walmart leak or being extremely lucky and getting it early in the mail.

Also you could buy it from the Australia eShop if it goes up at local time. Just be prepared to pay extra!

people who get early copies end up doing it on the down-low from mom and pop stores that get the stock but down't follow the proper shelf dates

Make a Japanese eShop account and an Australian eshop account. Then see if the Japanese version has English built in. If it does, compare the converted price between the Japan and Australian versions and see which one is cheaper. Then use PayPal to purchase it when the 26th rolls around.

Eur version definitely has english, and some nintendo games in jap have english too, although there's no way to know.

FE Musou released at 2 am (east coast) so it's not too bad though.

there was a thread with a complete list of japanese games with english on neogaf but it doesn't seem like it's working right now

that would only get it for you a twelve hours early anyways not worth the hassle.
best bet is find a walmart that put it on shelves early and hope it isn't time locked

so I changed region to JAP and it releases at 1pm there if I'm not wrong, since it releases at 11pm where i'm at. Is there anything special i have to do to buy it?

Where are you at, us? If so that doesn't sound right... Anyways check when it'll release in the Australian eshop too. It'll be more expensive probably but you'll get it a couple hours earlier.

1pm? that's a little suspicious 1pm on the 27th in japan is midnight east coast america i'm guessing you live in central timezone it might be getting a simultaneous worldwide release at midnight eastern

i haven't done it but you could try buying a code from amazon.co.jp i wouldn't preorder it though just incase there comes another way to get it early if someone were to get one of those bundles early and redeem the code from it it'd probably work.

yeah i live in Central time, so I've checked the Australian time zone and it seems to release at 3pm, instead of Japans 1pm. They both support english however. Japan is also cheaper

neogaf is downed because the site owner is having tea with the cops (don't remember the detail)
I've been using this site for a while now, it's pretty good:

literally just saw your post as I was gonna say this.

Basically, Neogaf owner is said to have commited multiple counts of sexual assault, so there's a mass exodus occuring from the site. Even moderators are fleeing. You can find this out with a simple google search.

I hope that your brother is okay, isn't he ?

Wow, nobody cares about how is your brother doing before answer the questions. Sighing.

Anyway, me too but we can wait a little longer. I hope that you find something to keep you busy while in a hospital for 3 days for your brother's sickness.
