I've played every Harvest Moon known to date so far, but I'm super excited to be able to customize the MC. I'll probably play as the male character then after I marry all the girls at least once then I'll play as the female MC on my second file. Hopefully I get it tomorrow or by Monday for I can have it for Tuesday since one of my classes was canceled at school so I will have to wait a while in the student union until my next class starts. If I get it tomorrow I'll post pictures on here. :D

Ohhhh so lucky. I've played most of them, but I think I haven't played 2 of the GBC ones, Friends of Mineral Town, DS, (only their girl counterparts) and several I haven't gotten far in.

Good luck getting it so you have something to do to kill time. :D

What Harvest Moon game is your favorite as of right now? My favorite Harvest Moon game is AP.

Uhm, that's tough... I'd probably say Sunshine Islands. I just love the handheld HMs, and while I loooove the Bazaar in GrB, the characters don't feel as alive to me. They do in ToTT but I dislike the split towns/can't have a perfect farm aspect. I really want to get into AP but I just don't play console ones much.

Actually, Hero of Leaf Valley is definitely a rival for SI in favoritism. I really adore that game/the characters.

I play more handheld games then I do console games, but I do enjoy a good console game once in a while. The thing that bothered me about SI was the water system and sun system it confused me tons of times when growing things. Are you going playing ANB on a original 3DS or a 3DS XL?

3DS. I just didn't have much reason to get a 3DS XL, especially since I bought my 3DS about a month before they announced the XL. You?

I have a original 3DS, but I'll be playing this on my 3DS XL. I only kept my original 3DS for I can trade back and fourth between Pokemon. Have you checked your tracking number? My item is was just scanned a few minutes ago. I think might be getting it tomorrow well today since its 12 am.

I don't have a tracking number yet. Best case scenario is that it ships out on Monday. The Natsume rep I talked to told me that they had to wait on Yaks to arrive (from where I wonder). I'll be curious to hear how it looks on the larger screen. :D

Once I get the game I'll probably make a progress topic for everyone to post in when they get the game. Do you know who your going to marry in ANB?

I'm not sure. I did like Amir in GrB so I might go for him. But I also love WP and am liking the sound of Yuri's character, so we'll have to see. But who knows. in GrB Dirk was the last person I thought I'd marry but he ended up being my favorite. I'll probably play with character customization, see who I like the looks of, and do a test run file before deciding on my farmer's starting gender for sure. How about you?

I'm not really sure, I married Nori in ToTT when I originally was going to marry Georgia. I think I will have to mess around with all the girls to find out who I'll marry. I usually wait until year 5 or 6 before I marry a girl in a Harvest Moon game because it gives me a chance to save up money and give them there favorite gift. What year do you usually get married in?

My favorite shall forever be AWL. Then ToT/Ap

I'm really looking foreword to ANB >w<
Not 100% sure who I'll marry yet

@Melody:
If you ordered the yak version then it'll ship starting Tuesday
glad you were able to sort out your order, btw =)

For all you GameStop naysayers:

Next day shipping does exist. I've had shipments come in on Mondays that were next day air for games like Cooking Mama (with zero preorders) to be released on that Tuesday. Even random no-name games have been shipped like that as well as meaningless cover-art and things.

GameStop corporate offices and shipping warehouses are not closed during the whole weekend. They're only closed on Sunday. Saturday shipments do happen from time to time. However, GameStop uses UPS, which does have their own delivery restrictions so unless GameStop tells them it's an emergency thing, they probably won't bring anything in on the weekend.

Believe me, GameStop would LOVE for you to come to the store and give them money for stuff. They'll move things along as quickly as they can granted Natsume gets them the product in a timely fashion. Especially if there are preorders involved, because then they know they have a guaranteed customer ready to throw money at them.

At any rate, I go into work in a couple hours. I'll check the shipping log and see if there's anything in transit. Being a manager helps when you need to find these things. I'll report back afterward.

I've gotten next-day shipping from gamestop once and it didn't arrive when it was supposed to… (I got a shipping refund)

Did ship-to-store once (which is next-day-shipping, but to a store of your choosing) which was great and it was in the store when it was supposed to but I had trouble getting my preorder item

I've gotten UPS orders on Sat before so I believe they're also only closed on Sunday

But yes, as long as Natsume ships to gamestop fast, the game should be in stores fast
Let us know!

Gamestop has only let me down once, and it wasn't really their fault. I bought a used copy of DSCute that turned out to be a bootleg, and when I took it back they gave me a full refund and some extra PowerUp Rewards Points. I trust that they won't let us down.

Oh that was nice of them
I usually don't have any problem buying things in the stores but I know a few people who bought used games that were listed as new… Re-plastic wrapped and everything.
(And besides the one time I got overnight shipping I haven't had any problems ordering from them either, I just prefer amazon)

I feel like I got slapped in the face :/ My pre-order was canceled because I didn't have money in my checking to cover the cost. Had to take a long look at my records and turns out they took out the money when I pre-ordered and then put it back in a week later. (I thought I had too much money...) So I had to re-pre-order but I was so frustrated and freaked out that somehow it might not let me and I'd be short a giant cow plushie that I spam tried ordering it and kept getting rejected because I failed to realize I was 20 cents short >____> so my bank froze my account and I had to call them and tell them I'm just a panicking gamer who can't do math. So I had to wait for them to unfreeze my account and decided to take a shower to calm down. I come back and my order goes through, woo! I probably won't get an early copy now though I'll just have to read about everyone else playing early, lol.
