Is anyone else still waiting for their bonus gold coins from prepurchasing Smash on the eshop? Anyone know who I would contact, like just general Nintendo support on Twitter?

Website says: "The extra points will be granted to your account by 14/12/2018."

Edit: so that's the 14th of December or 12/14/2018 :)

It seems they only offer Web Chat or Call Phone. Nothing about send e-mails.

We need a Product Purchased Serial Number to talk with them. Where we get that number if we have bought digitally?
did you read the link or actually read the FAQ for the DLC? The game hasn't been out for 10 days.

I'm sure it only counts once the game became available, otherwise all prepurchases would have had to have gotten theirs instantly.
Many people were getting piranha code before my prepurchase. Anyways, I'll wait 1 week more before to burn Nintendo HQ.
Got my codes in 2 days when I pre-ordered on Nov 13th, I'd contact Nintendo, waiting as long as you already have seems strange.

then I would recommend just doing webchat once the 10 days post-release are up (to be safe and avoid the "please wait 10 days" default response you'll probably get), even better than emails imo.

You can write whatever you need in the "Product Purchased Serial Number" field, text included. I think its designed for console serial numbers originally.

Lol, I just found the Piranha code. It was on the Promotions tab of Gmail. It was sent the November 20th. :P

Considering getting Xenoblade 2, but didn't care much for X. Also not a fan of the overly anime asthetics, but want to play a meaty game on my switch. Should I pass?

It's the meatiest thing on Switch (arguably)... Did you enjoy the first XBC? I would say if you enjoyed that, you will probably enjoy XBC2!

I LOVED it, I'm not a super anime guy. But I also loved XBC1, X and Xenogears. This fit right in line with all of those.

It is anime as fuck. So prepare yourself for that if you do.

It's a flawed but good game and it's about 60-80 hours to pass through.

I liked it.

If you want something meaty, you could consider MHGU.

Liked the first one alright, but didn't get too far because it was SD and didn't look good on my TV.

The anime scares me, but I liked the gameplay of the last two.

I tried the demo for MHGU and it didn't do much for me.

Thanks for the replies!

MH demos normally suck.

Once you get into the gameplay loop it's addictive as hell.

Thanks for the suggestions here, but as mentioned this is a Nov 6th digital eShop preorder, so things should go automatic. And again, no e-mail contact seems to be possible. And no it's not in the promotions tab, in case anyone asks :p The only thing that could be different, is that I temporarily switched regions to US in order to purchase.

I'll just try the webchat thingy in a few hours, thanks.

FWIW, I got my code in the receipt for the Smash purchase.

Are there any eShop price comparison sites that track price history and past sales for titles, similar to StoreParser / PSPrices / IsThereAnyDeal? I've found a few comparison sites but would like to see if/when a game was last on sale and for how much, if there are any sites with that functionality.

I bought Smash, Diablo and Aszu last night. Plus I grabbed another Starlink ship for £12 off Amazon.

Also noted that there is no way of getting Mason's ship separately outside of buying the PS4/XB1 physical game.

PsPrices has a tab for switch games. i was checking to see if Okami ever went on sale in the UK before i cracked and paid full price for it

Man I really hate that when the eshop says a sale will end on a certain day, they mean the morning of that day and not midnight.

I got mine I think a week after pre-purchasing, via a separate mail.
Yeah, that's what i keep hearing as well.
The email the code comes in is similar to the Splatoon 2 bonus gear ones that were given for buying a NSO subscription.
I received that one, so the proces itself seems to work to my account. However, for that purchase I switched to SA instead of the US, but still got the code. I finally received an answer from my local EU branch after 2 weeks btw, they asked me to wait it out till the end of the week, or otherwise provide my Switch's serial no if it doesn't come. No problem.
