it might just be me ,but i feel like amiibo brought about a new wave a resellers and scalpers.
They sure did. I can’t find a Little Mac amiibo anywhere. All I get are people selling it for $40 a pop.
definitely made more people aware about releases.
so it’s amiibos fault a lot of us missed out on limited edtition majoras mask and majoras mask 3ds.
it’s pretty annoying.
sigh
The only people at fault are those who pay those ridiculous prices.
Went to my Gamestop and they told me the new DS wasn’t up for pre order. Would do it online but they have no in store pick up option yet.
As of now and who knows when if even, only Japan/Australia/UK have the regular portable-sized, interchangeable faceplate New N3DS. The thing with not including a charger is 50/50 opinion wise but only releasing the larger XL edition with zero word on a future release of the regular edition is kind of a slap to the face to America. I mean these things with the faceplates alone is a cash cow, makes no sense to not release them here ASAP.
Yet since the yen got slightly devalued and Amazon and Play-Asia had been slashing prices hard I got two of these bad boys at about 40% off each. I was ready to wait for Nintendo to release them stateside but my gut said Nintendo’s gonna hold their cards, glad I gambled correctly this time.
Fuck the regular sized n3DS. If its any like the regular sized 3DS I’m glad America is skipping it.
You must have those E.Honda hands; well to each his own.
Well I think I know what some of my tax return money is going to. Dat New 3DS XL. And I was thinking of getting the 3DS XL. Glad I waited.
Picked up two 3DS games yesterday. It hit me that the last 3DS game I picked up was 3DS Smash and that was in October. So I went 3 months without getting a game for my favorite game machine. Anyway, I picked up Ultimate NES Remix and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call. Target has a price drop on TFFCC where they sold it for $30. Ultimate NES Remix has some nice bonuses like being able to unlock Famicom Remix to play the Japanese versions of these games and a turbo version of Super Mario Bros. where Mario is running around like Sonic the Hedgehog.
I have small hands. I hate the regular 3DS because of how small the screen is and it makes things difficult to see.
The New Regular 3DS looks more comfortable to use than the old regular 3DS. Which is good if that’s the case, because the old regular 3DS is an ergonomical nightmare. I’m torn on the bigger-screen-versus-sharper-visuals thing, but the 3DSXL just feels so much better in the hands.
Still not perfect, though. It’s a little bit heavy. If the New 3DS XL feels lighter in the hands, I MAY have to get one at some point. Maybe.
Ultimate NES Remix is curiously addictive to me, and I’ve never been a high score chaser or time trial kinda guy. I’ve been struggling against a couple of other people in some of the Remix stages as well as Super Mario Bros and Kirby stages. I still have no idea how wide the “Regional” tag spans, though. Am I on top in Scandinavia? Western Europe? Wut?
This first one I think I’ve still got the top time on, even though it’s possible to shave a few decimals off here and there for the truly dedicated (in particular the first two areas, which I’ve done better myself). In the second one, it seems I pretty much got the perfect time, which was promptly matched by the two people I keep facing at the top of the lists (axxu and N Star).
Harrumph. Should still have some sort of symbol for the one who got the optimal time first 
mm le 3ds up on best buy
You must have loathed the Game Boy Micro then.
So is the Zelda LE. It’s surprisingly not sold out.
this amiibo shit has everyone in a panic to pre order anything nintendo.
nintendo making people think they aren’t afraid to discontinue or limit quantities with the simple amiibo.
smart move, nintendo smart move.
i still see the limited edition game being sold out though.
I meant the Zelda n3DS

They still have pre-orders available. Resellers must sleep on Best Buy.
sorry meant to say the n3ds majoras mask edition is up i see now where this confusion came from.
from what i was reading it was limited to one per order.
fuck you scalpers ha…ha…ha.
Can’t decide if I want MM or MH4 N3DS…well if they’re gone by now and I can’t pre order in store guess I’m stuck with black.
No more teasers like this!

Did Nintendo just fuck up and leak a new Metroid 3DS?
Annnnnnnnd Retro just made a twitter a few hours ago: https://twitter.com/RetroStudios
that’s from monster hunter 4.
nintendo has said before they have something in the works for 2d and 3d metroid fans.
also metroid is on the vc console, so who knows if this is a mistake or not.
