well, amazon hasn't (yet) canceled my master edition zelda, neon switch seems lined up for best buy, so i'm good! really thinking of using some gamestop credit for super bomberman r, but

a) $50 feels steep when launch software typically drops fast enough
b) stoopid review embargo
c) man fuck konami

on the other hand: it's the return of bomberman! and look at how cute this shit is right here

Embargos are dumb, it's like they have something to hide when that stuff occurs. If you feel your product was good enough to ship with your name on it, show some brass and let it speak for itself as reviewers get it.

It's amusing I found early in the week a box of N64 stuff and good ol Bomberman64 was in there. Been itching to play Bomberman again and with the Switch one coming I'm holding out for that. I can't say I'm too upset about Isaac falling back a week or two for the bonus in there, plus allows more time to focus on the two games that will arrive on time.

Got my 128gb MicroSD card at the ready for this thing. All I've got left to think about is some sort of carrying case and an iMuto power bank, but I'll probably buy those some time after I get the console when I have more money. Hmm may need a screen protector too. I don't tend to use them personally and have never messed up any of my screens (I have never used a screen protector on any of my phones, tablets, Vita, 3DS, Wii U gamepad etc.), but I'm thinking it is a sensible thing to do.

Ughhh...I just got emails from Walmart and my credit card company. The credit card company thought the charge for my Switch was fraud. Walmart sent an email at the same time because payment was declined. It should be fixed now but I am still awaiting a confirmation email from Walmart. This better not delay my order. :evil:

OOOOHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I hope it doesn't and you get your switch! If that had happened on my end I would be in tears!

Well the $299 charge is now pending on my credit card so it is looking good. I caught it quick and had it corrected within about 15 minutes.

I actually had the same thing happen at Target and I couldn't even pre-order. Luckily I had a buddy who pre-ordered one that decided he didn't want it, so I'm taking his pre-order.

That shit happens to me every time I try to order from Play-Asia. It doesn't matter how many times I tell both Visa and State Employees' Credit Union "I order from them a lot; please stop marking it fraud!" They just won't listen.
