READ THIS: If you're in the UK and you're downloading at Midnight!!

[Martin]

Does anyone know how long it takes to download, roughly? thanks

Some say 20 minutes, some say an hour. It's really down to your internet. I'm Australian, so my internet is really not fast at all, and so far it's looking like it might take an hour.

Thanks for posting this! I'm not in EU/AUS, but I've linked this thread to tumblr for more European and Australian ACers to see.

Thanks

Glad it helped a few people out!

Awesome that it works in Australia as well

Wait? So if you buy a download they email you a code? And you can download it today? ;o

Yes! They email it, as well as showing you the code the second the money goes through! And you download as soon as you get it.

Does it work if I live in france and I'm connected to the french store ?

 

[satellitestorm]

If it works for Australians, it works for New Zealanders right?

As long as you connect to the UK eShop, I don't see why not

Downloading, thanks a ****ing lot OP.

 

[Retrodaniel]

Thanks I was worried I'd ordered a Physical Copy for a moment there

Thanks.

Won't work.

 

[AL64]

Lew it does work. Seem the code is for Euro.

 

[Martin]

I guess the code is for the entire PAL region, not exclusively for the UK eShop then!

 

[AL64]

Yeah that's cool because anyway, it's the same file.

 

[Martin]

Mine just finished! Took exactly an hour

 

[RibShark]

Too bad I only saw this after I added ?40 to the eShop. *sigh*

 

[AL64]

Mine is finishing in less than 10mn. That would be an hour too, and my connection kinda sucks. Way below average in france.

 

[Cam]

Mine took an hour on our work network. We have a leased line so 10GB takes about 5 minutes. I suspect Nintendo are thottling the store at the moment so everyone gets it in an hour, rather than some taking minutes and others taking hours and hours.

OMG, never heard of anything like that happening with the e-shop. Happy for you people set on digital who got to play this afternoon!
