I want to see anyone in the USA who gets a hold of JoD tommorow (today) take amusing photos of themselves with said shiny new game box.


Show your crazy glee.

I EXPECT DROP WORSHIPPING AND BIG EYED PEOPLE SQUEALING LIKE GIRLS.


Lets see who can get the game first!


I realise i could totaly cheat here and do it myself with the boxart i have but i will -not.

[ayamemaiden]

I'll try and get a photo up sometime after I get it.

[Shae]

You can expect pics from Kbooki and I as we take our copy off the shelf. We don't have a Wii yet, but we're still picking up the game tomorrow lol.
I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out today, so I'll be looking like a sore, swollen, NiGHTS loving chipmunk, but at least I'm dedicated. xD

[Kori]

I'm soooooo praying the game is coming in tomorrow! My sister works at the EB I pre-ordered from, so I'm hoping she can take the pic. If not, expect an off-kilter self portrait. XD

[apti]

I'll make the most psychotic face I can, possibly while doing a thumbs up. Perhaps I'll gnaw on the case a bit too, and you all can see my lovely teal braces'd teeth.

Prepare for ugly. >:|

[Gun6]

Uggggh X_X. I'm over my dad's house tomorrow, and my mom is the one that pre-ordered it with me... not to mention that my Wii is at my mom's house... D:

This day just gets worse and worse, I'm serious.

[Murder's Last Crow]

It might take a day or two to play it since I only know two people with a Wii before I buy one for my girlfriend for Christmas. The wait is killing me!

[TehLazyOne]

hmmm... ive been rather quiet these days... also quite busy struggling to finish things before the holiday...

i'll see if i can make up for some of my silence with a picture when i get the game...

but i keep hearing that its not coming in 'till the 19th... so it may have to wait a little bit..

[Tsunami]

I'll probably be picking JoD up after work tomorrow. No Wii yet, though, unless I manage to find one at the place I'm going to get the game.

But hey, I can still look at the case, right?

[TRAViS]

Video Phone + One Impatient NiGHTS fan + Youtube

That should get the point across in amazing 176x144 ultra-high-definition resolution
I'll see what I can do...not many stores take kindly to recording stuff without managerial permission O_o;

[Makkun]

I would, however, it seems that 11 years of waiting isn't enough for my parents. They're making me wait until after Christmas to buy it.

And no, it's not because they got it for me already. They're just dummy faces. ):

But after Christmas, or unless I can convince them otherwise, I'll take a picture.

[DiGi Valentine]

Oi! American people (or people living in America) !!! WAKE UP AND BUY THE GAME ALREADY!!!! IT'S THE 18TH OF DECEMBER! GO NOOOOW!!!!

[TRiPPY]

TROOPS! MOVE OUT!

[Drannore]

Were it not for a cash deficiency, I would already have it. Renting seems to be the only option for me at this point. I will probably be forced to delay my actual purchase until after Christmas. Too bad it came out so late, as all my family have already finished all their shopping. We had to pick this year to do it early...

[Shae]

Kbooki just woke me up and we're getting ready to go on our mission! We'll report back in a few!

[Meggiemaccat]

..... I was actually considering not potentially ticking myparents off, but what the heck, it's for you guys ('cuz, you know, I don't have a Wii and most likely won't anytime soon)! XDDDD *draws up ninja-plans to sneak over to WalMart or GameStop* I do hope my father's not staying home today... ^^;;;;;; *just remembered she needs still needs to go Christmas shopping* Oo' ..... XPPPPPP

[^_^ Go Dreamer]

My mom and I are heading out to pick up JoD!!! woOT!!

Bad side: I don't have a Wii yet!!! >.<

[LadyTwinkle]

on my way!!!!

[Poly C:]

:| YOU HEARD THE CLOWN.

[spinningcannon]

I was so tempted to haul out at 4AM and wait for GameStop to open. XD

I don't know when they're getting their shipments, though... so they can expect a barrage of phone calls from me until it arrives! You can bet I'll be there when it does!

As I've said before, I've had the darn thing down under my name since September. September!
And I don't even have a Wii. XD Regardless, the shiny box you speak of shall indeed be in my possession soon, hopefully by the end of today!


...Plus I stayed up until midnight so I could post the announcement in my deviantART journal. ^^; I'm such a geek.

That and I have a full-page ad taped to my school locker right now. Shameless plugs ftw!


Eleven years waiting for today... and it's here.
Wow.
If that's not mind-numbingly awesome I don't know what is.

[Meggiemaccat]

:| YOU HEARD THE CLOWN.

I can name at least three people in this thread who cannot comply with that request, but we'll try our best. *salutes*

[Poly C:]

I'm one of those three XD gaaaah i can't wait to read the first impressions ;u;!

[viperxmns]

My mission for today is to find a Wii; tomorrow I will be able to pick up the game. Dammit, why not today.. grr.. So I'll see if I can get a reaction shot up here.

Crap, I'm going OUT OF MY MIND I dunno what I'll be able to find

[Hime Blue]

My parents are going to go on the great NiGHTS hunt today while I'm at school...very...flipping...impatient...

I already started a scrapbook page for all the goofy and insane-fanatic photos I know are going to happen.

[Kori]

Up and about! Now to harass EB until it's in! And if not, I shall harass every other store in town until it's found! History's being made today! Let Canada NOT fall behind, just once!! ;

CHAAAAAARGE!

[Diogothedreamer]

I am definetly looking forward to seeing some of your photos with your games guys. I know there is sitll a whole year until I get it here in the UK but I shall stalk the postmen and the GAME site for any updates on my pre order.

[Hime Blue]

Let Canada NOT fall behind, just once!! ;

AGREED DARNiT. >_<;;;

[Sage]

I'm probably one of those three... or maybe I'm #4! That's coo.

I don't have a Wii at the moment, but I've been told several times by a couple of friends that I was NOT allowed to buy JoD for myself..... makes me wonder what they're plotting.

As for pics, I'm going to try and get a shot of me playing my friend's copy later this month. Should be most psychotic. =p

*goes on to SPAZZ and CELEBRATE with everyone else!*

[Meggiemaccat]

Yes, may Canada get it on the same awesomesauce day as us United Stateians ftw (I'm already mad enough that Europe has to wait so dang long)!!!

EDIT: Forgot to quote what I was responding to; see post above the one above this one. ^^;;;; *feels peeved because her father's taking vacation for the next two or three days* Ah well, as he says, he'll lose it if he doesn't use it, and he seems to be using this time to do some Christmas shopping (which I find highly unusual).

[VERTiGO]

iNSOMNiAC is getting it tomorrow, I'm going with her X3, and she said she'll hold off till friday <3. 11 years of patience is FINALLY paying off. I thought recently about how long that is. I've been in school for 11 freakin years @@; (this being my 12th... 11th grade =P) NiiiiiiGHTS!! I"m comming for yooooou!!!!!

<insert the fangirlesque squee here>

[Shae]

OMG!!!

Kbooki and I were too early for the Gamestop stores. We have to wait until later this afternoon for their shipments to come in. xD
We're thinking of checking other places though. At least we picked up the free "making of" DVD while we were there. We're documenting our adventures.

[Meggiemaccat]

Well, it took me a few hours, but I'm finally joining in the hyperexcited fansquee. *runs around the house again* I may not be able to buy it, but god help me should I see JoD playing on the display-Wii at WalMart (I'm going there with my dad today). NOTHING will stop me from playing it and just generally getting stares of 'wtf?' and, hopefully, questions of why I'm so dang excited. PLUG IT WHILE YOU'RE OUT, PPL!!!!

EDIT: *just remembered that the particular WalMart she's going to already had a sign out saying they were getting it on the 20th, so display-Wii JoD is likely out of the question* Dangit. XPPPP

[Kori]

Nice, Shae! X3 I might just keep a log meself!

Okay, here's the lowdown from all the stores I've called and nagged...

EBGames: earliest shipment incoming this aft
Future Shop: not a clue
Best Buy: Dec. 20 (NOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS)
WalMart: stock backed up, check later
HMV: still going through stock, check later
Zellers: line's busy XD

WE SHALL PREVAIL! CANADIAN FANS STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE!!

(And yes, I'm frightening my mom right now. XD)

[Tsukasa]

I hope I don't have all this hassle when it's released in the UK. I pre-ordered Phantom Hourglass but when I drove 30 miles to the shop they'd sold out. How crap is that!

[apti]

Mine's being shipped overnight.... oooooone extra day *sobs* I thought I'd be able to wait... MUST DISTRACT SELF WITH SHINIES.

[Ore Wa]

Knowing my local GameStop, they won't have it today (they'll get it tomorrow)... but I'll check today anyway.

[YamiLover13]

TROOPS! MOVE OUT!

It is not out yet for some of us. There are some areas that it will not ship to until the 19th...like mine. I was actually planning on going to gamestop at 7 A.M. if that were not the case.

---Edit---
I am not kidding. I WAS going to do it.

[^_^ Go Dreamer]

Darn We went too early!! >.< Me and mom circled gamestop like a hawk all moring!!! *is still sobbing over the fact that she doesn't have a Wii* Then the guy said to come back in 30 minutes, I guess they haven't got a shipment yet. AND so I wait!!......... <.<... >.>... >.< NYAAAAA!!! *grabs her mom and heads back out to Gamestop*

[A Divine Unicorn]

i have the game. i'm playing it right now. there's a nightopian garden called My Dream and it's just like the chao garden in the sonic adventure games. the nightopians you paraloop during gameplay get sent to My Dream and so do the nightmaren. my My Dream place is pretty bare right now... cuz i've only played a little today (about an hour and a half... need to go back!)

each dream level has many different missions like Mario, so one mission is get the key while another is get as many links as possible following this octopus thing and then others are like "save the nightopians," like one lever you're Will and NiGHTS is a boat/raft and you float down the river to rescue the nightopians. interesting.

my expectations for the game have been blown away and i regret being a nay-sayer.

i just hope there's a level like Soft Museum. l LOVED that level.

the story is alright, and NiGHTS voice is decent, but there's parts when i'm like "THIS IS SOOOOOO CHEEESY"

dangerously cheesy....

anyway. i'm on the second dreamscape and Reala refers to NiGHTS as a boy in one cutscene (spoilers?)
also, Wizeman has a coool voice

the game is darker than i expected, and it's very welcome.

hope this is new stuff or w/e
