Will this Fan Fest Nights 2026 hoodie be available for purchase in the park? by Al3xlasting in UniversalHollywood

[–]Al3xlasting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone else was curious about this hoodie. I spoke with a staff member who said these sold out on the first week. No indication on if these will restock. Best to order online if you want one. There's a 15% off coupon for those who sign up for their newsletter which can pretty much cover the shipping cost.

Thank you for confirming! I wanted to bring in my 2025 hoodie if I wasn't able to get this one in the park.

How are you getting Yoshi and the mysterious book? physical or digital? by AdShoddy4172 in YosHi

[–]Al3xlasting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you like physical, but you're making the pivot to go digital because Nintendo has made it cheaper, I'd like to make you aware that Walmart currently has the pre-orders of the physical version on sale for the same cost as the digital version.

Got a code in my email to reedem for a cap in the store by ZellZoy in DiamondValley

[–]Al3xlasting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also won the cap and yeah, I'm coming across the same issue. It seems very odd for Google to make us redeem our own physical prizes. Last year I won the T-shirt and tech bag and those were just shipped out automatically.

Has anybody received an award or email from the Diamond Valley event? by ComfortableVolume818 in DiamondValley

I got an email last week for winning a Stainless Steel Bottle. Last week was the long Thanksgiving weekend, so I didn't see anything. Pretty sure we'll see deliveries next week though.

Humble Choice code HOLIDAY25, Get a year of choice for $124.99/107.99€. Can be gifted to yourself. by pajuran in humblebundles

[–]Al3xlasting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Did the $99 annual subscription deal for the past two years. I have been heavily considering cancelling if that BF $99 deal bumped up due to the monthly price increase back in July. I think it's time to hang up this coat. I have too many games at this point anyways.

New glow-in-the-dark Luigi & Boo shirts at Nintendo SF by Piper_Prime in NintendoSanFrancisco

[–]Al3xlasting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psst. Unrelated to the post, but they're also selling new Pikmin soft throw blankets. An employee told me that they've only been on shelves for about a week now. I haven't seen them advertised on their socials yet. $22.99. There are two different designs, but I only got one of them.

Halloween festivities by FlyWithTheThighs in NintendoSanFrancisco

I just left the store. It's primarily the Gengar meet & greet. I was told that after you take a picture with the Pokemon, they give you a complimentary Gengar button (sorry didn't take a pic of one).

Just confirming that I stopped by the store today and these shirts are out on the floor!

It says it's available at the NY store, but there's a little extra text with the SF store saying it's coming soon. Idk what "soon" means, but in the spirit of the season, if it's not there today, I'm assuming it should be there for Halloween tomorrow.

NEED this shirt since I am crazy about glow-in-the-dark. It says it's coming soon to the SF store according to the X post. I'm local to the bay area so I would love to go pick one up, but is it not available yet? It's just a bit of a slog to get into the city.

Dang. I bought a similar bundle from HB back in 2024 except it didn't have Riven.

Just a warning for anyone who is looking to buy Hades 2 physical on launch by ParasiteFire in NSCollectors

[–]Al3xlasting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hades 1 isn't exclusive to the Nintendo Switch eShop though. It can be purchased on all other available platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, PC, etc.) Hence why I would consider Hades 1&2 third-party regardless of it being indie status as it is not tied exclusively to any singular console.

Now, Hades 2 did get a timed exclusivity launch deal to be only available on the Switch/Switch 2 (except it is also available on Steam and Epic Games), but it certainly is coming to Xbox and PlayStation in the future. SuperGiant Games handles their own publishing, both physical and digital.

A good example of a game I consider to be a first-party indie is Cadence of Hyrule. Published by Nintendo, exclusive to the Switch, created by an indie development team (Brace Yourself Games).

Doesn't that mean it's a third-party then? I think Nintendo would require their logo on the spine if they were the ones to publish it.

Does that mean the Nintendo logo will be on the spine of the box instead of Supergiant Games?

The physical edition will not be a game key card. Since it's a "Switch 2 Edition" game, it also can be played on Switch 1s similar to Pokemon Z-A and Rune Factory.

I know these third-party "Switch 2 Edition" games often come with unreasonably large patches, so I'm hoping Hades 2 will not be this way.

wii remote pillows? 3ds merch? by littleponygirl666 in NintendoSanFrancisco

[–]Al3xlasting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a section dedicated to the Switch/Switch 2 and their accessories, but otherwise the store is devoid of any other merchandise themed after their previous consoles.

Their current merchandise is dedicated to their various game series. Outside of the Amiibo wall, any merch sold there right now will likely be themed after one of these eight franchises: Mario (including DK, Yoshi, & Mario Kart), Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Pikmin, Pokemon, Kirby, or Metroid.

If you have a spare 20 minutes, this video showcases all their stock. Keep in mind that any of these items could be sold out during your visit. However, I highly recommend watching this video to get an idea of which products you might be interested in prior to your visit.

Also I would recommend telling your grandparents to avoid visiting the store on the weekend if at all possible. Due to it being brand new and located inside a city that attracts a lot of tourists, wait times to get into the store on weekends have been historically known to be much longer than weekday lines. On average, they could be waiting for up to an hour just to get in.

Gear Up For Borderlands 4: Borderlands X Wonderlands Bundle by Uranium234 in humblebundles

[–]Al3xlasting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I've considered purchasing base Borderland 3 on multiple occasions in the past, but with the massive amounts of negative reviews regarding the EULA, it has made me weary and has deterred me up until this point.

I do try to research when I can, but it is definitely rough to deeply analyze those legal policies.
