@tehCrawmorax I'm just going to have the window open on another monitor while I work on other things so I can still get things done. But yeah...I can't blame you haha! With how things are going, Nintendo will likely have to push it back until tomorrow so they can fix the site

Hopefully Nintendo gives a heads up for the people in line for the special edition. Nah it would suck if they fix the site but doesn’t tell anyone

@NintendoAmerica This is why I am against people posting links to pre-orders on social media. It's lazy and the pre-orders go out too fast. If not then you get stupid problems with the website not loading.

@_TheMaverickk @ArcRiseGen @NintendoAmerica It just threw my other browser on the item page into a waiting room, so hopefully the fix is incoming. Main page with my cart is still grayed out when I refresh.

@daeltan_181 The problem on my end is that I have two ways of paying for stuff, my card and PayPal Nintendo doesn't accept the card I have and they don't support PayPal (even though the eshop does)

(@413dreamr) reported
@Necrotine1 @StarlightKick @NintendoAmerica "small" studio? They employ something like 200 devs, and they're owned by Nintendo. You didn't even have a point, those major retailers still experience site crashes when a popular product goes on presale, the problem is web traffic NOT Nintendo per say. Keep up

i enjoy preordering from underground indie brands like nintendo so they dont have trouble financing the production of $90 book

@TheQueenKami nope! happened with N64 controllers as well hahaha. figures that, after those massive problems, a highly anticipated game's special edition should be exclusive! oh nintendo... lacking in logic smh

So. I was able to secure Xenoblade 3 SE from Nintendo Canada, knowing there will be problems since it took me quite some time to get their N64 controller. It sucks that the game is exclusive, but makes sense since items aren't coming along with the game.

@NintendoAmerica Could you make it work like limited run where they open up pre-orders for as many as people want and they pay up front? This would avoid bot issues.

(@Christo40932810) reported
@NintendoAmerica Are you going to update us on anything at all? This is absolutely ridiculous and Nintendo's silence, while we all sit and wait, shows how much they actually care about their supporters. It's 2022, these are issues that you should not be having. Don't create hype you can't handle.

@MouthofLightnin @waypoint @RealMatthewWolf This is dumb. People dont pirate because it is the "most rational choice", they pirate because they are poor, or because the service they are looking for is unavailable. Nintendo didnt "lose" 975M to piracy, they left 975M on the ******* table when they chose to abandon old games

What do you think is the likelihood that this clown has said something along the lines of: "Nintendo saved the entire video games industry from the video game crash of 1982 when they invented the Nintendo Entertainment System" I personally feel that it is quite high.

So. I was able to secure Xenoblade 3 SE from Nintendo Canada, knowing there will be problems since it took me quite some time to get their N64 controller almost a month ago.
