Only place in the UK to get one is on the Nintendo UK Store and they are sold out. Managed to get a preorder myself, just wondering if everyone else got one? Is this Majoras Mask very limited edition? I remember A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL not be that hard to come by.

The only place in Australia that seems to be taking pre-orders so far is EB games and they sold out in the first day, I managed to snag one though! Weird that Britain didn't even get a retailer selling them.

I missed the Special Edition MM pack though

The A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL Bundle was a package that the made a lot of and kept in stores. The Majora's Mask 3DS is a puzzling limited run, like many of the amiibo and the Majora's Mask game & statue package. Nintendo has a problem with physical production.

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

America sold out by the time I got home from school. Next time, I'm watching the Nintendo Direct at Gamestop.

I'm in the US and happened to have the day off from work so I watched the Nintendo Direct at home. Immediately afterward (approximately 7:45 a.m. (MST) Mountain Standard Time) I tried to order from GameStop's website but they weren't available. I then tried again 15 minutes later, nothing. I then got an email alert that they were available and tried to buy one at 8:15 a.m. but it disappeared from my cart each time I tried at the final stage of checkout.

I called my local GameStop at 10:00 a.m. MST and was told they hadn't heard of it but to try back later that day. Unconvinced I tried calling another GameStop at about 10:20 a.m. and was told they were available to preorder, but where selling out fast. I was told I couldn't pre-order over the phone and that they would likely be sold out by the time I arrived. I drove to my closest GameStop with the SKU I had been given by the second store over the phone. When I arrived another guy was preordering the Majoras Mask new 3DS but the computer was going slow so he had been waiting some time. The employee pulled up an order for me on a second computer saying both his and my order would go through because we were ordering in time. She had me write down my name, phone, email, and address for when the system started responding. That's when both orders timed out and we were told we missed it. A little depressed I drove home convinced that was it, I wouldn't be getting one. About two hours later I got a call from the GameStop employee asking if I still wanted the new 3DS Majora's Mask edition. She said the system was responding again and that it looked like she could place an order. I went with it and was told that with my confirmation number I would just need to drive back to the store and pay before business close at 9:00 p.m.

I drove back a second time to the store at 3:30 p.m. and was told that the computers were freezing up and that I couldn't pay because the system was not accepting payments, but to try again later. A second time I left a little put out that I had spend time and energy with nothing to show for it. That's when at around 6:15 p.m. I got an email alert that Best Buy had them in stock. I jumped on my computer and was able to finally pay for a preorder in full to be shipped to me after it releases.

I've had other past bad experiences with GameStop, but hopefully others on here (who knew of it at the time) where able to get one too.

That actually bears a striking resemblance to my situation. Drove to Gamestop twice, with no results, then bought it from Best Buy hours later. Gamestop kept on having computer problems all day that day, and on several instances, claimed to have stock magically appear. There were also 3 other people there wanting the same thing.

I was at work when the console went up for pre order on the UK Nintendo Store. Thankfully it was during a pretty quiet period, so I took five minutes and secured myself a copy very pleased.

I managed to get one from Best Buy's website, and I was quite pleased. My first choice was Gamestop, but I watched the Direct too late to get one from there. The fact that I was able to get one from anywhere at all was remarkable for me. I thought I would miss it.

Beep.
That is all.

Apparently Best Buy (America) is dropping orders if you ordered multiples or ordered one (or more) at the last minute. If you preordered there, check your order immediately.

Thanks for the heads up. My order seems to be safe....for now.

Here in the US the Majora's Mask bundle sold out on Gamestop's website in a few hours, and sold out on Best Buy's website in like 30 minutes, no joke. The MH4U bundle sold out in 2 days. Keep in mind a lot of people didn't find out about it until they got home from work, at which time it was already too late.

I pre ordered the MH4U bundle within minutes of it being listed (ordered from my cell phone at work that morning), but decided to pass on the MM bundle. When I got home I saw it was sold out already, and regretted not putting in a preorder when I could. But somehow I luckily found it on Best Buy's website the moment it went live- nobody knew it was listed yet- and I got my pre order in.

So I got both bundles, and both collectors editions of the games. And had no problem pre ordering Amiibos either. Hopefully my luck doesn't run out before wave 4, cause I really want that Lucina and Robin.

Oh no, this made my stomach drop... I remember, when I ordered, that there was at least a good ten minutes before it sold out. I opted for receiving text message updates, and I haven't gotten anything yet.

If the game is pre installed, and I were to do a system transfer from my Ambassador New 3DS, would the game be lost? Seems crazy that the game is pre installed and not just supplied as a redeemable download code. It would make sense as I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants to keep my Majoras Mask 3DS as a collectors item and continue using my ambassador 3DS.

I don't think the game is pre-installed.

I will be interested if the Majora's limited have purple colour, Because it is the colour of the game. Dark purple hues evoke feelings of gloom, sadness, and frustration, just like Link in the game.

I actually was relieved that it wasn't purple. I like to take my 3DS out in public, on train rides, etc. It's bad enough that it features a creepy torture mask on the front. Let's just say that bright purple is not my color.

Huff 3 weeks to wait yet! I'm so amped for this game. I don't know why either.
