No but does come with my bank account's tears

Up on the Nintendo Store!

Go go go

Does it come with a 3DS at that price....

So, they've taken the money a few days ago, yet the item still states 'unshipped' on their site.
I did an online chat with a fellow who stated that a 'dispatch' note has been printed and 'should' port out today with the 'hope that it gets to me for tomorrow... This was at 08:30 this morning with no change throughout the whole day. :disappointed:

i know this is an oldish hread but im so glad i took the persons advice to preorder at nintendo too. when i placed my order with game initially i got a txt from my bank asking if it was so me i was like yes. and then placed the pre order. yesterday i got another saying 69.99 is trying to be taken from game so i was like yes. i hope they dont cancel my preorder. anyways....bottom line is... games payment system they use is utter BS as the banks are obv flagging it as fraud or dodgey which is why peoples payments decline. needless to say i probably wont use game ever again to preorder anything. what i find daft is last week game sent me an email saying "we are gonna try charging your card soon for your order next week please make sure funds are avaiable, if it declines we may cancel your order". ive had about 2k sitting there in the bank for it for couple months even today.

For those who missed out, don't give up yet. I mean, it's quite a while away from the release date, I understand its OOS currently, but the same happened with the Majoras Mask 3DSXL (With the Skull Kid figurine). If you're wanting to have a stock checker, you can use this website, which is a stock checker for all the FE fates special editions from GAME/Amazon/Nintendo UK, updating every minute. I'm sure a few know about this already, however.

A coin and small bag it comes in, not much but better than nothing and might fetch a few pennies on ebay

Yeah, what are those?

Nice, thanks

I managed to get one from Nintendo! I'm paying by card not PayPal, do they cancel if the payment gets rejected?

Glad i got in for this one i was gutted missing out on the game deal

now OOS too

Thank you so much i missed the first ones on game, looks like this has added extras too :smile:

Up on the Nintendo Store!

Go go go

Pre-ordered from Gamestop.ie just in-case it doesn't show up anywhere else!

Rather have a copy & pay a bit more than not have a copy at all.

Dammit. Preorders are sold out now :disappointed:
Please if you find it elsewhere let us know.

Has this "sold" out now? Preorder option is gone. Glad I got mine in early :smiley:

Been waiting weeks for this to go live, so glad I reserved one! :smile:

How do you get E-Vouchers? It's dumb that they don't let you pre-order using their own wallet.

No, it's not been listed on Nintendo's own store, so keep an eye out!

Sods law that pre-orders go up today when I'm away from my desk.

Has it sold out on the Nintendo store already? Or is it due to go up? I can't find any mention of it on their site yet, apart from a page to register interest.

Frustrating this 3 games in 1 business considering the Special Edition seems to be so limited. I either want the Special Edition or none at all. Don't want to spend so much on digital stuff and as much as I love the Fire Emblem games (probably my favourite games of recent times) spending extra money getting them individually or as giant pieces of DLC doesn't really appeal.

amazon.de was the same price pretty much. £71 shipped

i agree, more so when you think its all on one cart, so why not just release it at say £40 with both versions and still make people pay for the DLC, but at the end of the day they are a business and are here to make money

Thanks for the answer guys. Oh well. I'll put a placemarker on Game incase someone cancels, and look at the Nintendo Store every now and again. If I don't get it, I don't mind so much.

Can't argue with that logic, but in my opinion the two games are largely using the same assets and are not worth 35 each. Same goes for the DLC. I would think that each game separately as well as the bundle would be cheaper with that in mind.

This. Exactly this. If I was 12 years ago, I'd be screwed!

I've got a placeholder on the Amazon page, so the second that goes into stock I'll grab it. Well... That's the plan.

This isn't a Game exclusive is it?

Yeah 10 is ridiculous but 1 personal copy and 1 gift copy seems fair to me. My friend is a huge fire emblem fan, but by the time he got my message about this deal it was gone. Then there's things like ordering for children/siblings who are over the age of 12 but don't have access to a debit card.

TBH I can see the being cheaper on one of Amazon's EU sites.

Determined to get one. This isnt going to be the only Fire Emblem game I dont own!!

Dam, I was actually lucky I had it in my cart from earlier and it let me checkout :smile: so happy.

In this day, I demand full motion videos with voice acting, not speech bubbles and pictures. Yes phones can handle speech bubbles and static pictures.

Also to the the less intelligent this is not a critique of the actual gameplay so metacritic scores are completely irrelevant.

Still if you fanboys want to live in the NES era then waste your money. I will allocate my millions elsewhere.

£70 for a game that would probably take 1 man 30 days to code is a joke.

sold out already :/

as if stuff like this didn't sell out quick enough, giving people the option of buying 10 of a game that is almost guaranteed to double in price instantly just seems stupid. yeah it sucks for people who need multiple copies for legitimate reasons but it also prevents people from being dickheads

It's a good thing I ordered it in-store rather than online. I am on good terms with the manager so I know it is safe. Paid the deposit and everything :smiley:

I want this, but this price is ridiculous considering it will be going right into my backlog. Any chance it will be cheaper at some point? It seems unlikely.

The description says "1 per customer", seems pretty harsh imo.

I'm not entirely sure, but according to this you can add them to your army. It might just be streetpass like you said, or perhaps in the main campaign?

I liked your post as there is no funny button :stuck_out_tongue:

Dang. I legitimately need 4 copies. Hopefully I can split the pre-order in time. (Me, my best friend, a raffle prize and a present)

Do you know what the amiibo does? Probably just a streetpass team scenario or something?

Looks like they might be doing something: the add to wishlist option has disappeared, but it still doesn't say out of stock

Just to add, this game has Amiibo support and Marth is currently going for a reasonable £7.10 at Amazon (free delivery with prime/orders over £20)

Just chatted online with a GAME representative, and he said they were reassessing allocation and it would probably be available to order again soon. Does that sound like a legitimate claim?

Already up on eBay for £180!

Bah too late :disappointed:

C'mon Nintendo Store...

Looks like it's OOS now. There's no 'Add to cart' button anymore.

To be fair, you can still get Awakening brand new in the shops. The older ones you can not. Once it goes out of print, the price will go up

I know the older ones do, but Awakening is still available for roughly retail price and it's been out for 3 years. With it being available to buy in the eShop it might keep the price down for a while. I'm just unsure of how rare these limited editions will be (judging from what I've read it's going to be pretty rare unless they produce more) and whether I should buy now or wait for further reductions.

Yup, it has sold out. Looks like they are now booked up on pre-orders. That took them 6 hours.

Looks very tempting... I want it, but my wallet says no. I still have Fire Emblem Awakening sealed, so I probably won't have time to play this either. But these games tend to either stay the same price or shoot up, so it might be a wise investment... I'm still torn.

How are game with returns? Are they anything like Amazon?

I want to pre-order 5 of the fire emblem special edition consoles and return the samples that don't have dual IPS screens, lol :neutral_face:

Right I did my searching and it looks more like they are overstocking. Given how quickly America and Japan sold out, they must have assessed the European release. Remember, our copy has to cover the entirety of Europe. Not just the UK. It might be nothing, but didn't the 3 month gap between US and Europe release seem odd? Sure there's localization but surely the difference between US and Europe versions wasn't that much?

Hopefully it's the former, but knowing how Nintendo are with limited editions and how GAME are with pre-orders, it's probably the latter.

Hmm...Hang on before we all freak out, can I just confirm something? Give me five mins

Surely this should have sold out by now? Even if they're just being bought by resellers.

Yay! 200 degrees! Tonight I will sing Fire Emblem's theme ^_^ I was going to anyway but now I have a reason to

Fair enough, enjoy your games while me and the loyal few will enjoy ours.

Will place a preorder down for now. However if Nintendo put it up on their site, GAME can do one. Not going through the stress of multiple payments again...

I hate that this is GAME exclusive, as with all Nintendo special editions it seems. But alas, preordered :disappointed:

Well I would recommend buying elsewhere - based on an awful experience with Game & also prior a pre-order the staff at shop put the only 1 game pre-ordered of a rare game on sale - I was lucky on this occasion to have popped in the store a day earlier only to see it on sale- #CLOWNS

thanks have pre-ordered

You're not wrong.

I actually pre-ordered this on the Irish Gamestop website for something stupid like 110 EUR. It had already sold out on the UK Website. It wasn't available anywhere else so I was relieved to see it at GAME (hopefully it won't be cancelled)

the £5 voucher is off £50 spend so i probably wont even use mine. this is a good price tho, and if it sells out quick, will be a great investment. i have a feeling they are making enough copies for everyone tho, this would usually have sold out in 10-15 minutes

i love fire emblem games but i dont doubt that they could quite easily run on phones

Does it come with a 3DS at that price....

He's a troll? Huh. Did not know that
But no I have a "distaste" for mobile game bad practices. I do a lot of game development and I just feel mobile games are the real rip off

On the plus side, Nintendo have been doing outstanding work on transactions and DLC. Aka, the Hyrule Warriors DLC announced recently :smile:

These fire emblem games are one of the biggest rip off games ever. Played and owned the previous ones but they are all iOS/android level games.

Should cost £2.99 rather than full price retails games.

Repetitive as well.

No voice just subtitles and very little animation but just pictures after pictures. So bare bones.

don't feed the troll.

Well, they do outshine Fire Emblem in the Micro Transaction category. Oh I sure doooo love paying more money for a game I already own...

For what it's worth, Nintendo recently retweeted Game's announcement for the Special Edition pre-order.

Kotaku - Comparison of the games

A nice write up that goes into the big differences in on he games without spoiling anything. All 3 are very different.

What? Why

YES

Well let's assume that the steelbook is £5, the poster is £5 and the artbook is £10. That's typically their value. Already the pack is £20. Then you have 2 big games (£30 each) bringing that up to £80. And finally, you have Revelations which due to my lack of knowledge on I'll assume is a pricey expansion pack so add £10 to make £90.

Of course this is all speculation on pricing but I'd say this bundle is an extremely good deal and probably won't go down in price. I think £70 is the price we will be paying.

70 quid!! I can get darksouls 3, warhammer totalwar and xcom 2 for that lol...

I expected this price but was also expected to be disappointed, glad I am not.

Very many thanks OP. I have been checking GAME and Nintendo Store almost every day.

FINALLY!

Wow! My first thread and it has already reached hot in 2 hours. I am glad I helped enough people out. Tonight, I will be have only Fire Emblem on my playlist

Perhaps this is because I was singing the Fire Emblem theme last night? The one from Super Smash Bros with the vocals. Might do it again tonight :smiley:

Managed to pre-order one. Hopefully game won't take more pre-orders than they have copies.

100 times yes to Persona 5. And Tokyo Mirage Sessions. And dragons make everything good. The Welsh flag? Dragon. Need to check that place out again

I've always been a huge Fire Emblem fan, and the series keeps getting better with every iteration. This and Persona 5 and the games I'm most looking forward to this year. And yes, Fire Emblem and Dragons has gotta be good.

Cheers OP :smile:. Been waiting to order this since they announced it.

I really appreciate you posting this. I've been waiting a long time for this game. Cannot wait.

Ace thanks for posting - all three on one cart is a win - and should hold some value once I've finished playing too :smiley:

Thanks for this, been waiting for the pre-order and it turns out cheaper than I thought!

Top Cashback gets extra off if in the end.
