Saw these for sale at my local Best Buy. I know nothing about upgrades aren’t out yet. But decided to buy one (Kirby) for science. At first it didn’t ring up. The checker scanned it another 4 times after saying “it isn’t ringing up.” But it finally did. I got the code via email right away.
When I got home I put the code into the eshop and a popup came up that said the “The product associated with that code is not currently available.
Please check the release date.
If the product is not yet released, try again after that date.” Along with a QR code to go to the support site.
I expected the code to work the same as if I preordered digital through the eshop.
Thankfully I’m educated on the matter, but I think this would be a very frustrating experience for the 90% casual buying audience. Am I correct in assuming these cards should have had a street date of the game release date in August? If so I’ll call BB tomorrow and let them know they should put them in back. Not that they care.
