Shadow Temple in general should be awesome.

So today was the console release. Marred by cancelled preorders, stores refusing to sell, and very few on hand.
As far as rollouts go, this was done badly. I'm going to need Nintendo to step it up.

Restocks are apparently in the works, but this should not have been this badly done.

Yeah, the whole situation was messed up from the beginning. With pre-orders for everything being sold out for months, and zero word from Nintendo on getting more, I knew this would be a fiasco. I shouldn't have to go to midnight release party just to have chance to buy a controller.

Here's hoping the rest of you get what you are after.

I will hand them each one and say, 'It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!'
It's the Master Sword though. You should get three medallions or something like that and hide them around the house, maybe have them have to solve a riddle or something to get them. Then when they have all three you present the swords stuck in like a cardboard box or something and let them pull it. :p

(I realize how much work that would be, so maybe don't. XD)

As you hand them the swords...

"Now, our operation is small, but there's a lot of potential for 'aggressive' expansion. So, which of you fine gentlemen would like to join our team? Oh, there's only one spot open right now, so we're gonna have... tryouts. Make it fast."

So this leaked for Target's next week ad:

On Slickdeals people are saying that Target is keeping stock in the back for the 5th. No word on the Zelda Procontroller though, so I guess I am still going to Best Buy.

Use foil-covered chocolate coins/medallions instead.

Whoever eats one of theirs first doesn't get the sword.

You can't just block a kid from getting their gift. There would have to be a back up for them to get it if that was the case. Or they just get it last. The point is to make it fun, not miserable for them.

Nice. I'll check online again, but I don't think I'll go in person. People will likely be camping out, and I'm not doing that. Worn out from having the damn thing in my cart, only to be forced to remove it when I try to check out. Not just on Amazon, but the Nintendo store, too.

The backup for them is undergoing and completing the Trials of the Sword. :p

Thanks again to a friend for pre-ordering it. I paid him back a while ago.

Only thing I'm basically missing is that controller. I already have the Resident Evil 9 pro controller so I don't NEED one for the Switch 2, but I would like it. I'm basically debating going to the BestBuy midnight launch with a friend to attempt getting it.

And I just saw that that the RE9 pro controller isn't easy to come by now, so now I'm wondering if I should grab the controller because it's not going to be easy to get it later if I don't grab one now...

So for a stupid reason, my amazon preorder has fallen through.
Curiously enough, the security company my girl and I work for has hired us to be security for their Wednesday night midnight event with the Missus being their officer.

I'm going to try to get over there soon as I'm released from duty and just see if I can't luck out.
