(Nurse Fin's) Exciting Animal March: A First Look, Observations about the game Options

[Crystal Talian]

Yes.

I am terrible. But I really don't feel the urge to go crazy and run out and buy it immediately. =/

[LadyKartoffel]

It's easy for me. I'm crazy and I have OCD. Probably. Well, I have a job and money, anyway. Or enough money to squeeze out a few bucks for a video game every four months or so. I've been saving for AP since about June.

[Crystal Talian]

I'm relying on birthday and Christmas money for games this year. I want a job. =/

[LadyKartoffel]

Well, I want a better job. I have to wait until I'm done with school, though. But at least I'll have AP until then!

[ZBoy]

My mom usually goes and picks it up for me after she leaves work so by the time I get home from school it is sitting there waiting for me. This was the first time I ordered a game online. I hope it doesn't take too long to get here... :/

I've noticed in several videos that if you have a pet they appear in the main room of your home. Is there any way you can move them and keep them in toher rooms of your house like the upstairs? I understand that the large bears stay upstairs, but I'm wondering if I can put my cat and dog up there every once in a while because it seems like that main room will get over crowded. ;D

I think the pets kinda wander around on their own, like in Tot. One day your pet is downstairs, the next its upstairs, then down again. Let them roam free......around the house anyway.
But I'm also sure you can carry 'em around.

[ZBoy]

I thought you would be able to, but then I thought about the larger dogs and such...

[Marley]

Pets live on the first floor.
And it doesn't really get crowded. You have a big house.
(Then again... all I have are cats, and they're kinda small...)

[Skarlet Fantasy]

I don't think it'll get too crowded because you can only have a certain number of pets relative to your house size... but it will be a bit more crowded with those big dogs.... I WILL finally get that stupid dog!!!!!!!! >:O


Today is the release date, yay! I wish I had it shipped to store... well, I looked at my order status, and the duck is backordered.... I hope they just ship it, cause I don't care about the stupid duck plush! (well... actually... I do, it's the only reason I didn't order it off of Amazon, which is waaay more reliable... but I don't anymore! I just want the game...) the game still says "pre-order ships 11/10/2009" It IS 11/10/2009!!! it should say "shipping soon" or "shipped" >l
It looks like I won't be able to play all Wed.... (unless they ship it out soon, and speedily.... oh I hope it gets here on time... it BETTER get here on time... overnight shipping is overnight shipping, you mailmen bums! cough.. sorry)

[LadyKartoffel]

Ah! Mine also says that. I hope they ship it anyway and just ship the duck later. If it isn't shipped by tonight I'm just going to cancel it and see if the stores have it tomorrow anyway. I'm not willing to wait a week or something to get it when I paid for overnight shipping. All because of a duck. Sheesh.

[Skarlet Fantasy]

I'll probably do the same thing...

[--Insanity]

Ugh, my GameStop didn't get the shipment of AP yet...I swear, if it I don't get it tomorrow because of the stupid duck plush...D<

[Crystal Talian]

The reason they don't have the game today is because today is the ship date. Ninety percent of stores won't have the game until tomorrow. I've tried to get enough games on the release date to know that the real release date is the day after they say it is.

[--Insanity]

Ahhh...>> Thank you, Crystal. God, I'm such a noob. D:

[Skarlet Fantasy]

I always thought that they shipped them to their stores a day before so they'd have them in stock on the release date? Well I guess not... I wouldn't know, cause I never go to the stores, I just preorder them and have them shipped to me :P But they are always shipped on the release date anyways
I remember my friend constantly going to gamestop after school waiting for them to get a game that she had preordered but they took a while to get it.. she was pretty pissed.. I think it was AWL

I preordered firered from the Pokemon Center (now Nintendo World...) and I got it before the relase date. That was pretty nice. lawl

I just hope they ship mine today... or I'll go to a store tomorrow
or I can wait...

[LadyKartoffel]

Actually, they ship games to the warehouses of big stores on the release date, and the warehouses get them to retailers by the next day. Stores like GameStop ship directly from the warehouse, so we should have had them shipped today. It actually says on their web site ships 11-10. But according to Natsume's facebook page, they didn't get the shipments out to the warehouses until sometime between 2 and 4pm, instead of first thing this morning. So they probably wouldn't get shipped today.

[Skarlet Fantasy]

okay, I see.... well, it didn't ship yesterday.. yeah I know, and it still says "ships 11-10"
it sounds like Natsume's fault, for sending it to the store warehouses late XP
but I'm not sure if mine'll ship today either, with the duck still being backordered and all... just send the duck separately, please...

[ZBoy]

Just a reminder for everyone:

Remember that today is Veteran's Day, which is a national holiday. This means that the postal services won't be working today, so that's another day we have ot wait. -_-

[Skarlet Fantasy]

Actually, LadyKartoffel looked it up... FedEx and UPS still deliver today

btw, they changed it to "ships 11/11"

[LadyKartoffel]

Yeah, I noticed that. I went to EBGames today to see if they had the game yet, and the guy gave me a duck and pig plushie. I guess they sent him a whole box, but nobody pre-ordered either game, so he didn't know what to do with them. He said he's going to just give them to whoever comes in to buy the game. He had a pile of boxes and said it might be in one of them, but he wasn't sure so I'm going back to check after school. If not, then it's sure to be out tomorrow.
