Where do you work?
Target, the stock team brought the games out early, along with the skylanders toys and games and I had to put them all back up. But when I saw the games I almost cried a little lol.

And if anyone tries to order from ToysRus online, good luck, they are currently back ordered. There is probably going to be a wait.

Posted this earlier, but now it's more suitable since it's only 4 hours until release... street release.

I bought the game right off the eShop exactly at Japanese launch (X version, ¥4800 but I only needed 3000 that's why I decided to go with digital)

Some general observations (w/ spoilers):
This game is fairly fast paced.
Many unnecessary tutorials are simply stripped away or shortened.
Roller skates work with the circle pad.
You get the so-called running shoes right when you start and there's no tutorial for that.
The lower screen is some sort of connectivity section. If you turn off wireless it will just show a banner to tell you to turn it on.
The lower screen also has very small toggles for access to your X button options (save, bag etc.)
The character can be controlled using the D Pad or circle pad. By default, circle pad makes the character move in roller skates.
You have 2 main rivals in this game (like BW).
You don't meet the professor right at the start (like B2W2)
There's much better variety of pokemon to catch or fight in earlier routes. Plus capture gives you exp now.
Each route has its own alternative name now, but I don't see the purpose in that.
The overworlds are 2D only. Turning up the slider has no effect.
If you wish to know more or wish to spoil yourself, please let me know.

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    If I die, tell my momma I won't be carrying Baby Jesus this christmas :sad::cry:

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
