So I live in a shitty part of the world where gamestop do not exist. I only have Walmart and Amazon as the only way to get S/M.
Walmart is a long drive and the game comes with a 11.5 state tax added to the price, I live in hell.
Amazon is where I can get it without paying the bullshit tax but they ship it on the same day of release, which means I have to wait 5 to 9 labor days for the game to reach my doorstep.
My question is this:
Why the fuck does Amazon wait until the actual release date to ship it !?

Because they dont feel like having to pay fines to Nintendo for "breaking street date" in case the packages arrive before the actual release date.
For someone who can understand taxes, I'm surprised someone has to explain that for you.
Are you in the US or what?
Why don't you buy it on the eshop?
also i think is mostly for delivery times, you could receive way too earlier

To get you to pay up for Prime.

I'm sure Best Buy isn't a lot better at estimating delivery time than Amazon.
Amazon just deliberately handles shipping poorly to get people to pay up for faster options.
Honestly I'm always super iffy on if Prime is worth it for me, so I always let it expire and then they offer it to me again for half off which I end up going for.
The 20% games deal they've been doing recently has got me the cost of this years membership back, which is neat. Although I think other stores are starting to do that too without paid memberships so I might have to look into that.

I think only Best Buy has that discount too, but it's only $20 for two years and applies to all games.

Prime is only worth it if you shop Amazon a lot. That's it.

Just pirate it
