Tesco didn't have it so looks like I'm going to have to rely on my Amazon order coming tomorrow.

I used the last of my £5 vouchers from the Nintendo Network scheme to put towards the game. Tonight... I'll be trackin' treasure with Toad :wub:.

Amazon delivered today. I've just done the first 5 levels. Can see it being a classic.

Great game :wub: Much longer than I initially thought it would be too.

It'd make a great 3ds game too, would really benefit from actual 3D imo.

I think this must be the most beautiful game I've seen. It really is both charming and endearing to look at. The bit when toad is sat by a fire is amazing. Loving playing through it with my five year old lad...bashing out a couple of levels a night so should keep us going a while. :)

Mine dispatched today. Arriving Monday. Just in time for me to get back to work. Nintendo are the real idiots here for the most ridiculous release date ever.

Finished this today. As has been said, it was much lengthier than I imagined. Can't understand why it was a budget title as there's plenty of game here. Must've taken me 10 hours at least to 100% everything plus the bonus levels. Just got a couple of the bonus levels to wrap up still but I can't be arsed. 5000 coins on Mummy-Me Maze Forever :dread: strawberry float. That. gooseberry fool.
Seriously, it's infuriatingly difficult. No way I'm putting myself through the stress. I got to floor 24 and about 2,200 coins before deciding I had had enough.

Glad I cancelled my Amazon order and bought in-store. I'd have been furious at them by now!

Amazon has been awful with preorders I've find. Before they guarantee it'll arrive on launch day, if not early which I'd be OK with but I usually get them day or weekend after. The game being £25 makes it bit better, but I think I'll cancel all pre-orders and look elsewhere.

My Amazon order arrived this morning but I have Prime so that might have something to do with it. Should make a nice change from just playing GTA!

I hate hanging around for Amazon Prime deliveries, I wish they'd give you a rough estimate for when it will arrive.

strawberry floating Hell Amazon are incompetant, I've been waiting at home all day for this to come and they tell me the delivery was attempted :fp:

Now they wont ask the company to attempt redelivery and I've got to go through the whole strawberry floating charade tomorrow with apparently no guarantee they'll come at all. They won't even give me a bloody time frame so I can get something else done, no it'll just be some time before 9pm. strawberry floating Cheers Amazon.


This is their Prime service as well :fp: £70 odd quid for a years worth of incompetence, about the fourth game this has happened with :roll:

It's odd how relatively small companies like ShopTo and The Game Collection can package a game and send it out the same day via first class Royal Mail, whilst Amazon now seems to have a completely random delivery service... when you order and whether you pay for delivery seems to make no difference. Amazon used to be my first choice for buying games from; now they're about fourth.

Anway... yeah, Treasure Trackin' is great fun! I've completed the first few levels and I like how there appears to be lots of replayability in terms of collecting additional treasure.

This is going to be one of those games that rises in price isn't it? Seems to be out of stock or £35+ at most places.
