Ordered although I haven't got a ds

It's scalping time... :stuck_out_tongue:

It's one per customer... Scalpers can't have a field day

Hooray, time to cancel my GAME preorder.

Does Nintendo store take payment at dispatch or upfront? May be tempted by this. Loved Metroid II on the Gameboy back in the day (still have it) :smile:

Time to take the plunge!



I love how it comes with a code for Metroid II in the box :smile:

As long as you have money in your account and a confirmation, they usually honor it :smiley:

Got it. Plus 2 amiibo

I don't collect or even particularly like amiibos but I might have to get that metroid one.

oos

Amiibo are both gone

Thanks for your input.

We need the Get Item theme from Metroid right now. Who has a link to it on youtube?

Been waiting for this all day and I missed it.

:disappointed:

I'm normally all over Nintendo collector's editions, but this one was a miss for me. £30 for a keyring, pin, soundtrack, art book and DLC code for a £3 game? No thanks.

gone in no time,even quicker than snes.

stock is being added in batches by the looks of things. it was re-available briefly.

that or people didn't complete the transaction.

Errr I didn't say anything about you keeping a copy. I just said that scalpers won't be able to scalp much with quantity limit. Didnt say u were a scalper.

Gutted. I just checked my emails and I got one from Nintendo at 16.02 and have just logged on only to see that its ALREADY sold out :disappointed:

I really dont understand why people always go straight on ebay and check if people are "scalping"?
Whats the point everyone knows it happens.

Just curious as to what stupid price they are demanding

God bless Nintendo... As well as my bank account.

How did I miss all this!???? :disappointed:
*by signing up to email alerts with my 'everyday' email address which I have notifications turned off for :disappointed:

Nice.

Hate how hard getting these editions is, just punishes normal consumers. I was checking the site nearly all day after Game's stock was pretty much gone in minutes. Really hope this is like the Fire Emblem Echoes CE and gets more stock.

Nice thanks for the heads up - bagged an official USB power supply for the SNES mini while I was there :smiley:

**** sakes. Missed it again.

It's a 3DS game, if you shop around you can get it somewhere for that price. Hell it's on the Nintendo store for £35. I'll be waiting a few months for this one anyway, 3DS prices drop so fast these days

I got an email but stupidly I'd given my 'everyday' email address for which I keep notifications turned off :disappointed:

The notification came too late, item was sold out before then.

mine came at 3:35

LOL cant wait till nintendo or thehut cancels all your pre orders lol cheeky

It's actually officially for the Mini NES, but same thing for sure.

Had been waiting for a pre order to bag it with giving free postage. It's in stock and expected to ship tomorrow, as the do ship and charge in stock items straight away :smiley:

Pre-ordered but f**k me these are getting ridiculous. I actually wish Nintendo would do away with these Limited Editions. It's just becoming a scalpers paradise and lets face it, the stuff you get rarely warrants the higher price tags. The lack of Switch LEs on the horizon makes me hopeful (disregarding BOTW)

Honestly forgot about that - but it seems strange that most first party games aren't getting a special edition like Odyssey or Splatoon 2

Nintendo just needs to be more proactive with their fans. They have frequent directs and big announcements for special editions (a whole 15+ minute segment for the BOTW CE for example), but then just drop them at a random time of the day with no warning...

They need to take a page out of limited run games book - explicitly state the number of copies they'll have, and when they'll go live. It wouldn't be all that much work, and it would help genuine collectors set aside the time to support the company and the games they love, not some low life eBay scum. Really doesn't help that both the GAME and NUK releases were during working hours.

Gone for the T-shirt one as not a bad price, but i'm having second thoughts as it looks a bit Nazi ish. Like one S from the SS logo.

Don't think Nintendo are bothered who is buying them as long as they sell. Doesn't make you special because you don't sell on ebay. Also doesn't make you low life scum because you do sell on ebay. Just because some people are smarter than you, you will have to get over it.

It's nothing to do with "being special" or "being smart", its about taking people taking advantage of a rabid fanbase for profit (which is scummy), and Nintendo not doing enough to prevent that.

They would sell every single copy regardless, that's not even remotely up for debate. But if they're spending the time developing games for fans. Packaging them with items quote obviously designed to appeal to those fans. You'd think they'd want to ensure that fans are getting ahold of the product - not arm chair entrepreneur scalper.

Your tone is just unwarranted here. There's no justification for supporting scalpers.

Let's play spot the scalper...

What is Limited Run?

US based company that does extremely limited physical prints of digital only games...

Full name is Limited Run Games. Check them out... They seem to get some proper gems for sale from time to time.

Thanks for your your reply. DAMN!!!! This company released Shantae AND Oddworld physically.

My two fave digital games on the PS4 and I missed out. Bookmarked

Holy crap they did Oxenfree too. Off to eBay I go.

Standard copy with t-shirt gone up £5 :neutral_face:
