@Dezzy: Ocarina of Time 3D. For a while, used copies were fetching upwards of $60-70 dollars. It's gone down now, and I can buy it new for around $45-55, but that is still above MSRP on an oldish game.

The price of Pikmin 3 also skyrocketed for awhile. It has lowered, now, but it's still pretty darn high if you want to get a new copy (think $65+).

There are probably other examples in different regions, but you get the point. There are other Nintendo games that have quite recently had stock issues.

Also, it was actually really difficult to find a copy of Splatoon when I wanted to buy it after it first came out. I had to drive an hour or two to another city entirely to find one. I could have avoided this hassle if I had preordered it, but I wanted to make sure the game was performing properly before I spent money on it.

Also, good luck finding some niche Japanese releases in stores when they release. In cases like this too, if you want to go physical and get a game on the day of release, you really need to preorder.

Digital never runs out of copies lol

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

This is an honest question.
If you tap an amiibo with this game do you get a character themed skell? I am sure I just saw some artwork that looked like Ganondorf!

I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

I hope not. The less Amiibo support in XCX is for the best. You can already give in depth paint jobs to customize your Skell to however you want.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

Hmm, I haven't really seen this at all. Maybe it's different in the US than Europe? Here's Pikmin 3 available for £30 right now: http://www.thegamecollection.net/pikmin-3-wii-u.html

@Tsurii: Thanks for the reply. I have just let out a big sigh of relief!

@Dezzy: It's probably a regional thing with the U.S., which doesn't surprise me. Consider how many more stock issues Americans have had with Amiibos than Europeans. The U.S. branch is apparently run by incompetents.

Why isn't this game listed on the EB Canadian site (ebgames.ca)!?!?! I just want to cry. I would buy the special edition if they actually made it available here. So sad. It just doesn't help sales when crap like this happens.

Yeah Nintendo games frequently go "out of stock" on Amazon UK, especially on release. They come back eventually but it's still annoying.

I've never seen this. And if I ever have, I've always then found the game elsewhere quite easily.

Pikmin 3 was gone for the longest time. I had to buy it from a third party.

Same with Wonderful 101

Just wondering, has anyone seen anything about a 'waypoint' function ala MGSV? I know that there's a map and a flying nav ball for missions but I would like to be able to mark certain spots manually.

What exactly is a third party shop?

I wonder if you can name the skell you get?

I'm pretty sure you can, would make sense since you can customize it and all that.

It's a random seller on Amazon as not everything listed for sale on Amazon is actually sold by Amazon.

A private seller, like Ebay or Amazon marketplace. Different from retail.

I bought Wonderful 101 "used like new" for £22. Thought that was a good deal at the time. Now you can order it brand new from Amazon for £15 (though it's out of stock)
