Apologies to Nintendo - they're responsible for the eight months' delay, but not for this further four months' Europe-kicking. Roll on, RTL Playtainment. Well done you.

Either Vimeo's having a hiccough or they don't even allow trailers with gameplay in.

Nice! Once again, I bitch about something and it's solved by Valve. I hereby accept full credit.

According to the website you'll be able to activate it on Steam using your "magic key" that you got in the initial email, which is really nice for those who pre-ordered.

That usually involves entering the CD key to prove your purchase, and here you don't have one because there's no DRM. The lack of DRM is actually limiting the sense in which you own the game. Down with no-DRM! We demand DRM!

Isn't there a way to activate it on Steam if you've already bought it, like there is for other games? That would be nice. That way I could get the achievements and updates without having to buy it twice.

Mr Brit, the real question here is, "Why on Earth was it left as "Submit Your Comment" for so long? I was aghast to find that I'd never customised that button from the default Wordpress template. Even James 1.0's guestbook presented users with the option to "Submit! Obey!" I think I might change it from time to time, like Ryan North's "E-mail this comic to a friend" link on qwantz.com.

If it helps, I don't think that download link 2D Boy send you in the e-mail will expire, so you've essentially got the game ready to download on any PC you can access your mail from. The Achievements are probably going to be for the OCD criteria, which aren't the fun bit to me.

Good, I can blame my not buying it yet on the fact that I was waiting for it to appear on Steam...

Ack - I "pre-ordered" this game immediately before finding out about it's Steam incarnation. May have to count my pennies.
