[Sword & Shield] It’s almost time! Who will be getting their copy this weekend?

[EC]

UPS is delivering my copy of Shield tomorrow from Amazon. A $10 credit that I can use for music sealed the deal for me.

Got mine! Can't wait to play once I am done with my brunch!

Midnight release at the local game shop, baby! Froze my ass off but it was worth it. (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

 

[Couples-Consoling]

We found a very nice store that got us our game just a little bit early. :) Honestly, it warmed my heart.

I caved and got mine digitally, since that meant I could play a little before I left for AnimeNYC today. It's been fun so far!!

This is the first console Pokemon game I will be skipping since Gen 2, which i only missed because i could hardly talk, let alone play Pokemon.

I feel like I will be missing out, but the nostalgia is not enough to make me overlook the glaring flaws present in the game. Aside from the poor graphical quality and vast amounts of cut content, I simply do not see that the games fixed the problems of the last generation which utterly destroyed my enjoyment of the games.

I will likely buy it when it goes on sale soon or when people inevitably sell it back to gamestop/another re-seller.

I hope that all who did buy it enjoy it, but ill keep my fingers crossed that poor reception forces TPCI to make some seriously needed changes for the better.

My copy showed up (physical), but now I'm afraid to start it without a fix for the SD-wiping glitch (exFAT issue?). I know the issue seems to be rarer in physical copies, but there have been some reports in physical as well as digital, and I don't want to wipe out my screenshots, demos that can't be redownloaded anymore (I think there are a couple), etc.

So, now I can't decide whether to start this weekend or not. It looks like it took over a week for the Lumiose glitch patch in XY, and I don't know if this one will even get fixed or not.

same here. even though i'm probably getting a physical copy, im hesitant to play until Game Freak/Nintendo sends out a fix of some sort. @__@

You can always back up your screenshots and shift demos to your main switch harddrive rather than SD card.

I got a review code. :B Gotta play a bunch more for that!
