Title: Fire Emblem pre-orders
Post by: soera on February 18, 2016, 01:23:08 am
If you pre-ordered the game after the 18th of November, chances are that you may not get it :

http://nintendoeverything.com/fire-emblem-fates-special-edition-pre-orders-made-after-nov-18-are-cancelled-at-gamestop/

Technically that means it was only available for 2 days to pre-order cause I ordered it day one it was available and it shows to be on the 16th.

Oh marvellous... this seems all to familiar.  Well at least the Fire Emblem series is showing big numbers, enough to screw over GameStop's pre-order practises that is, guess Nintendo have that going for them.  Come on EU don't you let me down now.

I didn't get to preorder it at all. I can't imagine getting one in and then having my hopes dashed like that, they need to print more.

I ordered mine on the 12th... but that was from BB... YAY GCU.

Mine is still awaiting authorization... so hopefully that goes through.

That sucks. I hope something like that doesn't happen for Canada too. Thankfully, I preordered mine the first day it was available in Canada, so I shouldn't have any issues. If this happened to me, I sure would be angry.

You're an evil little troll...

Jokes aside, I preordered within 10 minutes of it going up for preorder... and this wouldn't be the first time BB didn't ship until after release.

I ordered mine on Amazon with The Twilight Princess HD. There not charging me until Twilight Princess is released... I hope my copy of FE doesnt get magically canceled some how because of that.

I doubt it. They split up orders if they know that there's a lot of time between the two releases.  You should be all right :)

For those who are picking up from Gamestop tomorrow, don't forget that there are supposed to be some keychains available as well for those that pre-ordered.

I hate realizing that sort of thing after the fact, and sometimes the employees might not know there was a box of goodies sent to them that's meant as a preorder bonus.

Good luck!

This is absolute BS.  I just got slapped with an order delay... and they are listing them on eBay?

I ordered it within minutes of it going up for preorder and I get to wait a whole damned month after everyone else... if I get it at all.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Ugh. That's sucks... I saw that someone else on Twitter had a similar issue. I wonder if this is how Best Buy deals with orders that had issues with payment going through or what.  Even with the eBay listing, some folks said their orders were cancelled and there was less than 2000 sold. Not sure how accurate those numbers are, though.

If anything, having a preorder delayed is just bs. Just defeats the point of a preorder and drives gamers to other retailers.

Got mine. :D The stress is gone.

Lots of people were lined up before EB opened this morning just to see if they had any spare Special Editions. No spares though.

A Best Buy rep assured me that it has not been delayed to March and that I should keep an eye on my emails for shipping information.

I'm still really sad.  This was the one game I was looking forward to this year.

If you still have an order leftover in Amazon, I'm sure ctracy87 or another forum member would be interested in taking it off your hands!

Post by: theflea on February 20, 2016, 08:33:19 pm
dang I'm glad I pre-ordered this when it was first announced.
I knew it was going to be one of those to sell out quick, but sucks if you got a pre-order in and have it canceled on you.  :-\
I went in my local Gamestop and picked this up as soon as I could just in case someone tried to buy it out from under me.

If for some insane reason I see another copy on a store shelve, I'll let you guys know.

That's kind of a steal, I've got a stack of SNES... but on the other hand, I've seen idiots pay $200 for a yellowed snes with no controllers, games, or cables.

So this guy may be getting the better end of the deal if he is that type of person.

Well, my SE came in yesterday. Even though it was shipped in an Amazon mail bubbler, it looks pretty flawless except for very minor dings on the corners. So I'm glad I escaped the creasing horror stories that I heard from some of my other friends who preordered the SE.

Anybody who preordered from Amazon and still haven't received yours, you should check your cancelled orders.  Apparently Amazon is cancelling delayed orders without notifying customers.

That would suck majorly. I wonder why they were delayed to begin with.

I got a response from Amazon regarding my stealth cancellation of my order, their statement is that they are and have been out of stock and that all of the orders placed yesterday would be cancelled as well.  They did however tell me that I can purchase any copy from a third party seller with as fast shipping as I want and they will refund me down to the Amazon price that I preordered at.

Don't mean to stoke any fires, but just wanted to let you know that I managed to order one from Amazon yesterday, and I just received notice that it shipped...  But if Amazon is willing to refund you the additional costs from another seller, that's just as good imo.

Yeah, I figured they weren't doing that.  It's really shitty that Amazon cancels preorders to sell to other people.  If I had multiple orders or had multiple shipped from separate accounts, fine cancel it, but I did not.

Did you get the 20% off Prime discount?  I wondered if that's why they cancelled a bunch to sell now outside of the 2 week discount window.

I did indeed get the discount since it was still within the 2 week window.

I wish there was a proper explanation from Amazon about why orders were cancelled secretly. The fact that there was no communication about it makes me very apprehensive about preordering from them in the future.

It's why BB gets all of my business.  BB has screwed me once.  And they gave me a $50 GC and then on release day they had an over abundance, so I was able to pick it up anyway.

I think it was the zelda 3dsXL

Yeah NoA does not handle CE's as well as Europe and Japan. I recall that the Mario Kart 8 LE and Hyrule Warriors LE were exclusive to the Nintendo World store at NYC for the US release, so its was pretty much impossible to get one unless you happened to live or live close to that region.  Europe does get some good limited edition stuff thats interesting; including the Limited Edition of Bayonetta 2 with the artbook, Xenoblade X, and the physical LE of Fatal Frame V, which I want to import since we got shafted on the US only having a eshop release.
