I had this ready for posting and was hoping they are going to beat Smyths but then they decided not to do that and I decided to let it go. :stuck_out_tongue:

Got it!

I managed to buy 3 copies of the Special Edition. Flogged 2 and am sitting on the last one.

Is this game really as good as people say it is? Kind of thinking that I'd rather pick up one of the "cheap" cartridge editions as I don't have the time or the inclination to wade through the "trilogy" of games.

yep not many places beating smyths recently for 3ds game deals. Not an Amazon fan but good if you missed out because of the smyths hardline instore only policy.

I don't blame you for doing that. Just f**k Nintendo for making the special edition pre-orders sell out in less than a day, and then not reprinting them. Such a bitch move to all the fans. Reprinting it meant they could have made Nintendo more money and fans would be happy, but no they just suck at everything related to stock issues.

Seems like Nintendo has stock problems on either end of the spectrum. From the "too few" where stock for Fire Emblem and NES Mini sells out in next to no time, to "too much" where the Wii U ends up sitting in warehouses for much of its lifecycle.

Let's see where the Switch ends up nestling...

100% claimed but the Waitlist is still available.

Nintendo are playing a long game which basically teaches you to preorder or go without. They would rather sell a few hundred thousand less on a few choice big or sought after titles and get their fanbase to learn to preorder. Very clever. Also drives up insane PR.
