Man, it sucks that some of you aren't getting your artbook. I've been in that situation before when preordering from Gamestop. That's why I always now have it shipped to me, I've always gotten my preorder bonuses when ordering online. Too bad I have to pay for shipping in order to do that.

I have my copy now. No art book, though. I only pre-ordered it yesterday, which was long after the cut-off point people are suggesting.

Did Nintendo itself not do an artbook?

got my game, a little late tho.

got it around 7:30 pm.

I also got the art book, but it has a small rip on the front cover. I think the guy at gamestop may have given me the last copy of their stack of artbooks.

I had no time to get back (to gamestop) cause I had a busy day, and my work break wasnt long enough to go and complain at the busy store.

oh well.

Nintendo did a special reversible box art case. I am really looking forward to seeing it. That is why I want everyone that did not get an art book to return it to Gamestop and at least you can get the different box art from Nintendo.

^ My copy from GS definitely has the reversible cover art.

I also missed the artbook deadline, but was lucky enough to receive an art book just by asking, "Any chance you guys have any spare art books?" I'm pretty sure the manager hooked me up because he recognized my face... I dunno, I haven't been there much lately. GameStop can actually be kinda cool sometimes. :D

But seriously this game is outstanding so far, and I've barely sunken my teeth in whatsoever.

The website made it sound like it was a Nintendo exclusive.

I forgot about the reversible cover until I opened the game and saw the art through the "Eco" holes. Yes, all copies have it.
