Weird - Amazon shows my copy not shipping until the 1st either.

Hope I get the free Wii Speak (they're still advertising it). Not that I need another one. I've not really gotten to use the one I've got now.

Sometimes they bizarrely show long shipping times but the items still arrive really fast. It's happened to me a number of times. Interestingly it seems to happen most with 3rd party Wii titles. The most recent was Shattered Memories. I think this happens when they have to order the title from another place like a distributor.

Well Mop_it_up in some screenshots it shows that there are some fish that can attack you. I read the preview I linked to above and it seems you can feed them and they will eat the food instead of you. Also there is a item that can calm them.

I don't like the sound of that.
Will you protect me, Maxi?

Stratos · « **Reply #78 on:** February 18, 2010, 04:12:09 AM »

I'm picturing Mop it up feeding Maxi to the sharks for protection.

It's part of the story. There is something causing the animals to be more aggressive and it's your job to resolve the issue. I'll bet there will be no danger in the multiplayer mode similar to how you can't find spiders, scorpions or attacking bees in Animal Crossing.

No, that was what I planned to do with you.
I've heard Maxi knows how to use a harpoon gun, so he can take care of me.

I think they purposely exaggerate the shipping times so that either:

1) The game will be much sooner than you expect so you will be impressed and therefore be a happy customer.

2) In case something goes wrong and there are delays, or whatever. This way they've covered their ass somewhat.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #83 on:** February 21, 2010, 11:23:56 AM »

So who plans on getting this tomorrow?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #84 on:** February 21, 2010, 12:13:20 PM »

Well I just came across something in the Sunday Newspaper in th ads. At Target on the 23rd after 4 pm there will be a Wii Speak bundle and it is going to be $29.99. Seems like a good deal.

Yeah, Amazon does this quite often. I think they do it so that if something happens that delays it, they are less likely to disappoint consumers. I think it's the same reason Nintendo gives longer estimated shipping times for repairs than what actually happens.

I pre-ordered from Amazon under the expectation I will be getting the Wii speak bundle. If I don't get it I'll be very unhappy. I pre-ordered early, but I guess with limited supplies and whatnot there is the risk I won't get it...

The 23rd is Tuesday. Target can be somewhat late when getting games in. I have Wii Speak so I will check around on Monday the 22nd for the game.

You could cancel your order and take a shot at Target on Tuesday the 23rd.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #90 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:34:11 PM »

Well I just ordered it from Amazon! Can't beat $20!

Stratos · « **Reply #91 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:48:25 PM »

$20? How? I see it for $30.

vudu · « **Reply #92 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:52:30 PM »

Probably a $10 credit from a previous game purchase.

Stratos · « **Reply #93 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:53:03 PM »

Ah, I was thinking I missed out on a credit if you pre-ordered it.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #94 on:** February 24, 2010, 04:46:16 PM »

I read the Amazon pre-order guarantees you'll always get the lowest price if it drops between when you pre-order and when the game is released. So if you pre-ordered at $29.99 and it drops down to $19.99, then you would only pay $19.99.

Am I right? I rarely pre-order, and when I have that's never happened for me, so I can't verify it, but that's what Amazon says anyway.

vudu · « **Reply #95 on:** February 24, 2010, 04:48:29 PM »

Amazon's preorder policy only counts if the price drops between the date of your preordered and the release date.

So if you preordered at $29.99 and the game releases at $29.99 and then the next day it drops down to $19.99 you're still stuck paying $29.99.

Stratos · « **Reply #96 on:** February 24, 2010, 05:22:25 PM »

It never drops that soon, though. Usually it takes a few weeks and even then most of those 'price drops' are $5 and temporary at most.

vudu · « **Reply #97 on:** February 25, 2010, 02:14:54 PM »

It was a made up example used to illustrate a point. Chill out.

Does anyone know if the online play in this game is region-restricted? The only reason I ask is because it was in the first game.
