ZELDA 3ds XL Gold

[purbeast0]

why do you think today is the day they will put it out for preorder? i am really on the fence with this. i don't want to fall for nintendo's bs ways again, but i really want to play this game. i've never sold more consoles than nintendo consoles. sold 2 ds', 2 gamecubes, and 1 wii. and i have a wii now that i haven't played in probably a year and a half. hmm wonder how much i could get for a modded wii...

but i really want to play this fucking game.

 

[exdeath]

I don't know. But we are at < 30 days for the game, so should be any day now.

 

[purbeast0]

oh gotcha.

yeah post here if you see em then cause i may end up snagging one, as much as it pains me to do so!

Can't go wrong with limited edition Zelda loot.

At the very least you can play and then flip it at the same price even used. Though if you just want to play the game you don't need the limited edition hardware.

Collectors are the only thing keeping Nintendo afloat at the moment and they know it; easy money releasing 60 different limited edition bundles for a whole 3 games

Proceeding this I'm currently playing Twilight Princess on GameCube (played before on the Waggle Wii meh) and will be playing Minish Cap for the first time since I just picked it up yard sailing. Then saving Link Between Worlds for Thanksgiving break.

I'm waiting on this one too. Waiting for Exdeath to announce it lol. You should set up another alert site!

New Mario + Luigi Wii U bundle announced today.

Maybe we will get the 3DS one shortly.

I think the first zelda 3ds was classier. Too bad it isn't XL.

Available for pre-order on Gamestop now.

Presumably coming to less-awful retailers soon.

The game comes as a download code, not a physical copy.

Thanks!

And download copy?? Grrrr!

Does anyone know if I preorder on their website if I can cancel without penalty? $7 for shipping and I can't even pick a store to get it on launch day?? If I can pre-order in store I would cancel my online order.

 

[Tweak155]

Well I ordered anyway. Not missing out on this one.

 

[smackababy]

I don't know how rare this will be. Currently, the closest GameStop to me has around 4-5 Zelda WiiUs. Might not have to preorder this to get one in store.

call the store and ask?

i know the day that the killer instinct arcade stick popped up online i called the store and they had no clue that it was available in the system to preorder until i called.

Yeah just at work right now... just an awkward time to call. Their website policies aren't very clear on the topic.

But it says it won't charge until it ships, so I should be good.

I think it is likely it will sell out which is why I ordered anyway. But I'm buying it for me, not because I think it's rare.

As far as Wii U's, I think it was just a desperate attempt to push the system and not a lot of people bought into it. With this being a NEW Zelda game and a sequel to an extremely popular Zelda game, I'm just not taking chances.

 

[Tweak155]

Best put, it is a $7 insurance policy I will definitely get one... at some point. Haha.

 

[purbeast0]

yeah i'm very tempted to stop by gamestop today after work and preorder one but i just don't know if i really want one or not because it's a fucking 3ds.

Yeah I'm not stoked about 3DS, but I don't waste money all that often. Worst case I'll beat the game and sell everything. Whether I make money or get that money back is irrelevant. I want to play a new Zelda game

that is true. if only they had a "super gameboy" for 3ds games.

 

[gothamhunter]

It's a 3DS XL, which is actually pretty large and is a host of a great number of games. You'll enjoy it.

I am the opposite. I waste money all the time. >_> There is just so much coming out in November, I can't justify spending on a 3DSXL at that time. I would love the Zelda version, but if it does sell out, I'll be okay with picking up a a normal 3DS to play it.

That might actually get me to buy a Wii U if they released something for that. There are some games on 3DS I want to play, but I never could convince myself to buy one. A new Zelda game makes that decision easy.

If I end up liking the system enough to keep it, I'll pick up some older ones for cheap.

I wanted to buy that Mario Kart bundle last year which was a great price, but I waited too long to do it. Glad I did now, I'll pay the extra for the Zelda version.

Although I wish it was a physical game! I might just buy a cartridge too and sell the d/l code if I can.

Only time I "waste" money (as in I have no care in the world I'm spending it) is on vacation and on Black Friday.

I know the "black friday deals" don't really exist, I just use it as an excuse to spend! And I'll generally at least get below MSRP.

Like the MBA I got last year for $1025... normally $1199 at the time. Or the new iPhone 5 lol.

But yeah, I spent over $4k in the past few weeks booking airfare, hotels & rental cars for the next 6 months or so of vacations. It sounds like a lot but it is 6 different destinations.

I say waste money, but I buy things I want. Not like I am really throwing the money away, most of it is on tangible goods.
