Q: is this physical preorder or digital preorder
A: This listing is for the physical game.
Q: Will I get this game be at my door step the day it come out
A: Yes. All the video games and movies I've preordered over the years from Best Buy have been delivered on release day, sometimes sooner. As long as you order at least 2-3 days before it's released. Shipping usually takes two days for most areas.
Q: what is the difference between sword and shield?
A: The main difference is the available pkmn in each game. The majority are in both games, but its the rare ones that can only be caught in Sword or Shield. For example, each pkmn on the cover can only be caught in their respective game. However, this can be remedied by looking out for other ppl that can trade with you for the ones you are missing. Another minor difference is bits of the story progression are slightly different, but ultimately, that doesn't matter in the whole experience of the game. The main story is fighting gym leaders to reach the final league. Each game has a few different gyms (2 or 3 out of the total 8). Other than that, each game is basically the same - both solid pkmn games and fun to play.
Q: Can the language of the game change to chinese?
A: You can change the switch settings to Chinese I believe. But yes, I am not sure, but I assume you would be able to.
Q: If I pre-order in September on the 14th will the game come before November?
A: No, Best Buy will fullfill all pre-orders when it releases in November. ~VermontBlogger.com
Q: Will this game work on the nintendo ds?
A: No unfortunately it will not.
A: Those codes will only appear in the double-pack sadly. Individual copies will not get them. ~VermontBlogger.com
