How come they waited until NOW to tell us this?
I already found this out a couple of days ago… and that’s just to confirm it after the first time I asked (which was months ago).
They didn’t. They first announced this in October: https://mynintendonews.com/2018/10/03/select-best-buy-stores-will-be-opening-at-midnight-for-the-launch-of-super-smash-bros-ultimate/
To be honest… I wasn’t sure whether or not that was a fake rumor.
After all; Gamestop didn’t mention any midnight events on their website. I had to get word from a store clerk for confirmation.
Speaking of GameStop, I heard through Midnight’s Edge After Dark on YouTube that they lost a ton of money recently. I think they said around 10m or something.
I’ll be there.
same.
I think I will get my game at BestBuy or target. Also, does GameStop has free posters for the game or you guys are not sure about it?.
If you preorder the game you can get a free poster
oh ok. thats cool. my friend just pre-order his and he said he is gonna ask for two posters so i can have one.
Not sure that will work. They give out the poster when you pick up the game, and they usually don’t give out extras because it’s kind of a first come first serve basis
GameStop: “Any World of Light spoilers during the launch event will result in banned from the event.”
Nice my GameStop is on here. Do we know what sort of special events other than opening at midnight there are?
