I was ready to try this, but goddamn, some of the waiting times people are going through is keeping me from trying.
I'm not sure, I tried but it was rejecting my card with an error message I couldn't translate. It's cheaper on amazon.co.jp anyway so I went that route.Can you just buy it on the Japanese eshop now that it's unlocked and play with a US account?
Literally where I'm at and its been 3 hours. If this doesn't go through I'm just going to cancel it and pick it up tomorrow.Got the prompt to change payment option after about 8 hours, submitted, and now stuck at verifying again.
That's what I was thinking too but I'm not seeing the option to cancel itLiterally where I'm at and its been 3 hours. If this doesn't go through I'm just going to cancel it and pick it up tomorrow.
Yep, I'm still hoping it might go through sometime in the afternoon but once the Chat line is back up I'll just cancel it then.You should be able to cancel it by contacting customer support.

When does the pre-load activate for those of us that bought it on the US Eshop?
Doesn't feel good being left out :(
I mean when does it unlock for us to play, haha. Should've clarified my post a bit.

So I actually have an update on this. Looks like all purchases, no matter from what region, count as being purchased in other regions as well. I just checked the eShop and it shows Super Mario Odyssey as "Purchased" for me. So if there ever is any sort of DLC down the road, I think we'll be fine purchasing it on our US accounts.I wanna do this, but I'm just worried about how it would effect the ability to buy DLC.
It's based on some factors, especially your bank. It seems that if you buy with an Amazon credit card then it gets verified pretty quickly.Just tried. Pending verification. Will wait until the morning and see if it goes through....
Weird that it's so hit and miss. Presumably if we're all following the same instructions, we should get the same results.
This was, unwittingly, my experience. Searched this thread for 'error' and eventually found your post! Then awkwardly navigated the eshop in Japanese to download.Look at the game in your Games and Software Library
Do you see this button?
Did you click on it? If you did, it should have sent you to redeem site where you logged in with your Nintendo account. Did you do any of this?
Cause you may have already redeemed it and the game's waiting to be downloaded.
To check, go to the eShop on your Switch and check if SMO is labeled purchase.
This was my experience, so hopefully it is yours as well.
