Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I will drive right over to Japan and give them a piece of my mind.
Get the tracks and burn yourself a cd, and enjoy this amazing game. I can't believe the guy up there is disgusted by this game because some stores had sold out and he had a hard time registering for his soundtrack,
this rendering him unable to allow himself to play the game?
but personally I'm talking about it so much because 1) I don't know of it being available online legally 2) even if it is, I want to own a limited edition cd from nintendo for one of my favorite games ever, especially since I specifically pre ordered the game to get said soundtrack 3) talking about weird issues like this online is how I make sure I don't miss out. if there's a solid solution that pops up, I want to know about it. if it wasn't for these discussions, I wouldn't have known to bother to call.
I can appreciate that it's taking up space that, today of all days, ought to be devoted to the beautiful game they just released, but I think for a day or two there will be side comments about the soundtrack and what those of us who got screwed by a website issue can do about it.
myself, I hope to be starting on the game when I get to my uncle's house for father's day dinner. if I can play without getting shit for being distracted
Such is life
Game looks BEAUTIFUL, btw.

Requiem of Spirit is a close second.
No, it's not available legally. If you download them from the internet, you're doing it illegally. The music is protected under copyright just like any other music, and Nintendo has never given anyone permission to distribute it.
They've been advertising for two weeks or so that people who register the game first will get the CD. They decided to hinge it on a page that only pops up once, instead of giving users a link they can click to redeem the CD, so there's no way for users to handle errors. They've handled this horribly and people have a right to be upset about it.
Don't toss out your broken/unusable/worn out Nintendo (especially Gamecube/N64) controllers! Donate them to me!
No word if I'm getting a soundtrack. Sent them an e-mail about an hour ago.
If I knew it would be this much trouble I would have slept in.
Kind of wish I had a 3DS so I could rectify that.

I'm pretty sure they'll fix it in some way; Nintendo have excellent customer service.
Anyway, the graphics and frame rate are a huge improvement. I like the new look.
The game is beautiful and the 3D impressive, but is anyone else having a much harder time keeping the "sweet spot" perfectly in front of you? I can't tell if I'm moving my head or something but I'm losing the 3D focus a lot

"Did ya hear the one about the mussel that wanted to purchase Valve? Seems like the bivalve had a juicy offer on the table but the company flat-out refused and decided to immediately clam up!"
If nothing else we will be able to purchase:
Also, I bid everyone luck in the acquiring of desired soundtracks.
I didn't get the soundtrack popup so I shot them a quick e-mail through Nintendo's Support page. An hour later (right now) I get an e-mail that my reward is being processed. I check my Club Nintendo account and lo, I indeed have a backordered copy of the soundtrack! Customer Service to the rescue!
So even if you don't get the popup, make sure you send them an e-mail! Apparently, it fixes everything!

After you call 1-800-255-3700, push 3 for 3DS and then 0 for representative. Should speed things up and get you in the phone queue real quick-like.
Like I posted earlier, my store's district warehouse has 3600 copies, I don't think its a limited release.
I clicked http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/webform.jsp and submitted a webform requesting help, under Club Nintendo -> Product Registration -> Survey (you could try Games too I hear).
I then called but I posted my lukewarm call results earlier. Then I just got this email response back.
And yup, the soundtrack CD is definitely in my reward inquiry area now. Yay.
EDIT: What a way to be Ninja'd.

Fortunately for me, when I had called, they had been dealing with this all morning, it would seem. They took down my details, given it's Sunday and the office is largely closed, and said they'd look into it.
Hope they sort everything out, so that those who registered early get priority. Or just print more discs, if need be, whatever.
Though it just occurred to me: I think I still have the original release of the soundtrack kicking around somewhere, unopened.
They asked me which browser I used, and I said Firefox. I also wonder if this is one of those issues... anyone?
The person I spoke to did not give me a reference number, though, and he didn't know what the stock situation was.
[QUOTE=JerikTelorian;19597183For those of you getting a message about call volumes, just keep trying. You can't actually get a rep if you get the "High volume" message, but you might actually get through on subsequent calls. Just redial every few minutes and you'll hit it.[/QUOTE]
I did, actually. I was connected midway through telling me about the high call volume.
Seriously, they should print more if it becomes a problem. They did that with Super Mario All-Stars, so why not?
I don't want to discourage looking up the manual, given that was from an age when manuals were actually fun to read, but to answer your query:
While Link has his quest to find the third piece of the Triforce and awaken Princess Zelda (supposedly the original, but who knows at this point any more?), Ganon's minions are seeking to resurrect their fallen master. And to do that, they must "sacrifice Link and sprinkle his blood on the ashes of Ganon."
...I thought that was going to be a pack-in with the game?
Just tried this, just to be safe. Hope it works!
The Gamecube version is pretty uncommon and expensive here in the U.K, and with 2nd-hand Wii's going for like £60, I was vaguely tempted to get one for the hell of it.
Does the Wii version have mandatory motion control, or can it be played exactly as if it were the GC game?
Mandatory motion control. You cannot play it GameCube style.

Also, I just got my confirmation e-mail from NOA and the CD appears in my Reward Order History, so thank you, friendly Nintendo Customer Service Rep. Being nice on the phone paid off I guess!
Also, on the topic of the game: Anyone who enjoys the 3D effect needs to have it on for the 3 Goddesses cutscene after you beat the Deku Tree. Most impressive 3D effect on the system yet by far. It looks fantastic.
Maybe I'll give it a shot anyway, there's part of my brain practically screaming 'You can almost buy a whole new console for the price of TP on the Gamecube'.
Also, nice avatar sir!
I figure that it will be, but that there will be two skus as there was for Red Steel 2.
In other words, one bundled with a WiiMotion Plus controller and one that is just the game. Same deal here I figure.

I tried this and still haven't heard back
Edit: Went ahead and sent another one in case the first didn't go through for some reason.
