Product details
Action meets RPG as the Pokémon series reaches a new frontier!
Game Features:

Catch, survey and research wild Pokémon to create and complete the Sinnoh region’s first Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, coming to Nintendo Switch in early 2022. Pokémon Legends: Arceus honours past Pokémon games’ core gameplay while infusing new action and RPG elements.
You’ll be brought to the Sinnoh region, the setting for Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl. But this story unfolds in a long-gone era, before ideas such as being a Pokémon Trainer or having a Pokémon League even existed. All around, you’ll find Pokémon living wild in harsh environments that make for a Sinnoh unlike the region you may remember from the days of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you can observe them to learn their behaviour, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball and let fly! You can also have your ally Pokémon battle wild Pokémon that you hope to catch. Just throw the Poké Ball holding your ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon, and you’ll seamlessly enter battle and command your Pokémon by choosing from moves it knows.
As you start off on your adventure to create the region’s first Pokédex, you’ll be able to choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as a partner. These three Pokémon arrived with a Pokémon Professor, who encountered them on research excursions to various regions.

      Damn, my Amazon copy just came today.

      is this normal for pre-orders? I swear Amazon hates me and always takes an extra few days before even packing to deliver (though this did save me $$$ with Cyberpunk and Grand Theft Auto Trilogy as I could cancel after the release/reviews lol)

      • mangobango on 28/01/2022 - 12:46

        They definitely used to be delayed a bit so I stopped using them for pre-orders.

        But both Mario Party and Pokemon arrived on time so I assume they're back to being better now?

        Especially as they have their own drivers these days they can make the release date deliveries.

      • landroverz7 on 28/01/2022 - 12:47

        @trustnoone are you an Amazon Prime member? I believe Prime members gets games delivered on the day of release. Normal users who choose free shipping do not.

            @rith: Adding my voice here, its the same, games release on fridays and everytime without fail the game takes the weekend to arrive on a Monday, a complete waste of pre-ordering to play on the opening weekend.

            Big W/EB games is where my homies are at now.

      • Quackercracker on 29/01/2022 - 09:57

        I got animal crossing the day before release date, now my copy of legends arceus is gonna arrive Sunday. I wanted to cancel and buy it from jb hifi yesterday and it won’t let me because its about to be shipped soon.

        I did order it last Tuesday.

    • bg on 28/01/2022 - 14:02

      What?! I foolishly preordered with Kogan months ago and received notification the other day that they’re delayed delivery until Feb 17th! Oh well, they gave me $10 voucher.

      • mangobango on 28/01/2022 - 14:14

        I think Kogan would be the last site I'd trust for pre-orders 😆

        At least you got a voucher out of it, can you cancel it or anything?

        • bg on 28/01/2022 - 19:03

          Yeah, would not be my first choice for ANY online purchase, unless latitudepay offering $15 off. Turns out, it was dispatched today anyway?! Bonus all round. Plus it’s for the kids.

          • mangobango on 29/01/2022 - 10:01

            @bg: Oh awesome, hope it arrives soon!

          • Quackercracker on 29/01/2022 - 10:01

            @bg: I also stupidly ordered from kogan because I had a $20 voucher, I got the email saying that it’s delayed until 17th Feb so I cancelled and ordered from Amazon instead. I also got a $10 voucher and they said they’ll refund my voucher as $20 credit.

                  They didnt even put it in a box and just wacked it into a loose parcel bag.

    • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 13:03

      Maybe too late. At least for next time. No. Both cr and SB don't offer cashback when gift card is used at bigw.

      • ScruffTheJanitor on 28/01/2022 - 13:10

        Kinda dodgy that they list it as 'You may not be eligible for Cashback' rather than you won't be

      • ScruffTheJanitor on 28/01/2022 - 22:43

        Paid with gift card and it was tracked interestingly

        • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 22:46

          sometime it's tracked, but not approved in the end. you will have to wait to see.
          if it works, then we may need to check with both CR and SB rep here, why they are misleading us.

  • Vegeta on 28/01/2022 - 13:02

    Got it for $19 (Total) at EB Games.

    • burningrage on 28/01/2022 - 13:10

      That's what I've been quoted if it's $69 and I trade in Pokemon Sword and Shield (2 games) AND level 5.

      • kazuyamishima on 28/01/2022 - 13:12

        It's possible, I got 2 Fifa 21 xbone for $5 each and Assassins Creed Valhalla PS5 for $9.

        The 2 Fifa's made it for the two eligible games and Valhalla has a base value of $29, Plus my level 4 I had another $5 credit to spend.

        Sweet!!

        • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 13:16

          FIFA 21 is eligible? Going to grab 2 from target then

        • burningrage on 28/01/2022 - 13:19

          Ooooh… that's a good hack.

          is there an easy way of finding the value of eb trade ins? Saw NBA 2K21 also $5 at Target.

        What i recommend for Pokemon new releases and there is a steel book pre order it.

        You can usually sell the steel book for good money to recoup for the game.

        I just saw an Arceus steel book get sold on eBay for $100 already as it was very limited pre order bonus offer.

        • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 16:38

          100? Local marketplace has $25 since this morning and is still there

          • SpeedRunnerLink on 28/01/2022 - 16:52

            @ce5himm: People always pay more on eBay for some reason.

            But im not the one that bought it so beats me.

            The Diamond/Pearl remakes had a steel book case I've seen go for $20-30 in the marketplace has also had many sold listings on eBay from $40-80.

            However at the end of the day its not how much you make but pointing out you can recoup costs towards the game as a form of a discount or even for free if you are lucky to get a good amount for it.

            • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 17:11

              @SpeedRunnerLink: Thinking should I buy the 25 and lost 80 on eBay?LOL

              • SpeedRunnerLink on 31/01/2022 - 21:29

                @ce5himm: You could. Check on eBay now, theyre pretty much going for that amount.

                I'm keeping mine as I collect steel books.

      • PrinceOfWhales on 28/01/2022 - 16:18

        You can sell the Sword and Shield easily for $40 each on marketplace. I only do the trade in deal with cheap redundant games. Never trade in mainstream / popular game that's major ripoff.

        • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 17:13

          Especially for NS games. Only trade-in $5-10 Xbox/ps games from target clearance.

  • t0087669 on 28/01/2022 - 13:25

    Ordered at 9am this morning. It says order before 12 for same day pick up.
    But still Waiting for click and collect confirmation. Can I just show up and see if I’m able to pick up? Anyone also ordered from Vic Doncaster?

    • RichardF89 on 28/01/2022 - 13:28

      yeah if they have stock but normally something like this they don't have stock bigw just cancel your order without any notice. that's the reason I don't like BigW

      • t0087669 on 28/01/2022 - 13:39

    Not sure this is worth a post - same price at Target, JB Hifi & Catch, $68 from The Gamesmen & Harvey Norman, $67 from MightyApe as well as the above posted trade in hacks for EB.

    Or am I late to the party with the point of this deal being via the cashback?

    • ce5himm on 28/01/2022 - 13:45

      Yes point is cashback. But if you have 15% JB card. It's still cheaper

      If you are not in hurry, soon you will see these sell at marketplace/gumtree for $50.

        I get a lot of my Switch games for the magic $50 mark second-hand soon after release, but the only exception is Pokemon. Second-hand prices tend to hover at at least $55-65 for a long time. Recommend going in Day-1 if you're a fan.

        • popsiee on 28/01/2022 - 15:00

          I'd give up the game if you can't get most brand new games around the $50 mark with all the codes and stackings going on :)

          • muwu on 28/01/2022 - 16:37

            @popsiee: I don't get eBay vouchers for private listings too often. But when I do rarely with eBay Plus I'll jump at the opportunity for a second hand Switch game for $40-45
