I've been playing it since I got the chance to today, and hot damn, this game is good. I mean, I was expecting great things, but damn. What the hell is nintendo of america thinking not releasing this?
Although, I am very annoyed with Nintendo Europe advertising 3 Preorder bonus posters and then 2 days before the game came out, saying the people they had openly advertised with links to the product page on the website IN THE SAME PARAGRAPH, after having the article up since early july, announcing, yeah, actually, you only get those 3 posters for buying it in store. All the preorders were shipped on tuesday, and the game cost slightly more from the retailers that were supposed to be giving out the posters. Thanks a lot nintendo.
It's a good job the game is really good or i'd be even more annoyed at getting screwed over by preorder bonuses again.
On another note, since NoA said they were watching europe sales carefully, seeing as NoE has already sold through it's intial stock and several of the biggest online UK retailers for games have sold out of it. And stores have not only heard of it (which is a big enough miracle for something thats not a shooter) but have been reported being either completly sold out by midday or only having enough stock to fill the preorders. Granted, NoE might not have had high expectations, but this is surely good news.
America might be in luck yet...
