Actually, Arcy asked XSEED this specific question a while back...and Calros said that it would be available from 9AM PST, on the 28th. (That's noon, EST.)

Any game (or other content) that releases on a Tuesday will show up at 9am PST/12pmEST. Only Friday releases get a midnight (or 9pm Thursday PST) release. Friday releases are generally Nintendo published and "big" releases (such as Pokemon).

haha, I normally get up at 7. Thanks to the time difference (and me hoping it would be released digitally at midnight) I thought I would get up at 6am at start downloading the game. Which would have been sweet because I could've just gone to bed early and BAM, wake up and play the game. But now I have to wait until 6pm :(

The 9am (I'm pst) works well for me because stuff tends to pop up just as I get to the shop. So I can immediately go and start downloading when I get to work off the shop wifi.

I'll probably aim to get to work a bit early on Tuesday so I can get coffee and start my play uninterrupted. Husband knows I will be good for little else that day.

I'm getting my game from GameStop when my sister gets off from school. That's 4pm EST. I wake up at noon anyway.

I'm pretty sure that the only games that release at midnight EST on release day on the eshop are first-party/Nintendo published games (So stuff like Pokemon, Yo-kai Watch, Splatoon, Mario games etc.).

Everything else get's put up when the eshop updates on that day, which is usually noon EST.

Heh. I will do the stuff that I have to, and I will supervise to keep him out of trouble (seriously, he's really dumb...), but anything else I am farming. I've earned a day.
