My copy of Twilight Princess HD came today. For some reason it arrived 3 days early... Can't complain!

I'm pretty excited to give Twilight Princess another play through. I'm one of the few Zelda fans who really enjoyed it, bar the first hour or so (ugh).

My Wii U is on the way! I ended up getting a bundle from eBay. 32GB Wii U with box and all included accessories, Nintendoland, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8. Hyrule Warriors, and Xenoblade Chronicles X for $335 shipped. Everything looked pretty pristine in the pictures. I hope it all arrives that way.

Nice! I love that system, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.

AH! I completely forgot that I pre-ordered it! What day does it (officially) come out?

Friday. At least, here in the UK. Not sure why ShopTo (who I pre-ordered with) sent it so early. Even though they're known for breaking street dates, it's usually only by one day.

Nah, I've had stuff from them as early as that before. I normally get it 2 days early from them.

Yeah, to be fair, it's happened before (I got Phantom Pain 3 days early and Pokemon X/Y also came 4 days early, but literally everyone broke the street date with that one in the UK, for some reason), but usually I only get games one day early from them. Especially if it's a Friday release date. It's usually Tuesday release dates I get games 3 days early (coming on a Saturday).

I'm gonna wait for the game to inevitably float through my local Dirt Cheap. ;) I've got no shortage of stuff to play, anyway. :D

Whoa haha, wonder if I'll get mine early this week too then. Either way... I forgot it even came out this week so it's still a win regardless. :lol:

Thank you for the heads up. I just ordered one at that low price and it's coming directly from Nintendo as well.
I haven't messed around with it too much just yet, but I'll echo Reprise; it's a great title for those trying to live a bit healthier. It's not going to shave inches off your waistline or anything, but it's great at tracking general health and helping you improve your health in a lot of little ways (balance, posture, etc). I'd definitely recommend it.
So Wii Fit U just arrived from Nintendo the other day. I can't wait to try it out. Zelda is coming out this week and Pokken Tournament in 2 weeks, plus a nice current Ubisoft Wiishop sale where I need to grab Child of Light. It's going to be an expensive but fun month.
