Update:
Thanks to all that have highlighted the following paragraph which points to this potentially also coming to the Official Nintendo UK Store.
Fire Emblem: Fates Special Edition is only available at selected GAME stores, GAME.co.uk and Nintendo.co.uk. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Rather odd that the listing also says 'Only at GAME', so we'll see how this progresses.
Original Article:
Fire Emblem Fates may be so last month in North America by now, but plenty of PAL gamers are still in a state of giddy excitement about the Intelligent Systems title. Or maybe that's just this writer, but in any case it should be deemed impossible to have too much Fire Emblem, and Fates offers a lot of bang for our buck.
Though the Birthright and Conquest campaigns will be sold separately at retail, along with Revelation as a third DLC campaign, Nintendo of Europe's special edition not only includes all three on one cartridge, but also a steelbook case, artbook and double-sided poster. Somewhat surprisingly, though, it's not the Official Nintendo UK Store offering this for pre-order, but it's being claimed as an exclusive by GAME - as you can see at that link pre-orders are being taken for £69.99 ahead of the 20th May release.
This likely won't delight many gamers, especially those that were charged up to seven times (running into hundreds of pounds) for Super Mario Maker pre-orders last year. We can only hope that the concept of one payment per product has now been successful applied to GAME's sales system.
As an added note, the limited edition New Nintendo 3DS XL model (which doesn't include the games) is also up for pre-order on this page for £179.99, but isn't marked as a GAME exclusive.
Are any of you in the UK tempted to pick up the special edition version of Fire Emblem Fates?
Our thanks to Dan for the heads up.

Good for Game but not interested myself
Swap that steelbook and poster for a soundtrack and I'm there. Otherwise no thanks. Although I suppose it's actually pretty good value, given how you get three games.
...but all three games come on one cart...why couldn't it just have released like that in the first place...
Will also be up on Nintendo store but not worth waiting for them because they will likely sell out very quickly like usual.
I still think it will eventually come to the Nintendo UK store. I have preordered with GAME nonetheless to reserve a copy.
The most important thing is making sure you have the funds available when they charge you cos if you don't, no email, no second attempts, but instant cancellation.
Already pre-ordered
Yeah I've put this on my credit card... Let's hope my balance will cover it! Glad to be able to give the heads up, hope all who want it get in before scalpers!
Just preordered it! I need this in my life! If the Nintendo store get it up (which I'm sure they will) at a later date I'll preorder it there and drop the game one lol
Also I noticed it also said the hyrule Warriors legend limited edition is "only at game" but pretty sure you can get that off Nintendo store so I wouldn't worry about it being exclusive
GAME usually say it's GAME Exclusive on Nintendo Limited Editions, when it will eventually be available on the Nintendo UK Store at a later date.
It's happened with the Xenoblade Chronicles X and Hyrule Warriors Legends Limited Editions and even now, you can still order them from the Nintendo UK Store.
After that Mario Maker incident, I think I'll wait for Nintendo UK to open pre-orders thanks.
I still have my £10 gift card I got as compensation after the Mario Maker mess, but have been avoiding Game if possible. Looks like it finally has a use. Let's hope no one steals the truck they are in either.
I've pre-ordered, I just hope GAME don't mess up this time... Very excited for this!
Nintendo shouldn't be letting those dirtbags have an exclusive anything!
@FX102A Yeah make sure to have at least 5 times the funds as they like to Charge multiple times.
@RIC616 Pretty sure gift cards cannot be used against pre orders
@RIC616 you cant use gift cards on preorders
I wouldn't buy anything from GAME even if they paid me 😤
I was thinking about this, and the Star Fox special edition, but after my general dislike of GAME, coupled with the amount of times they've fluffed it up, I've decided just to but the games at Smyths and then download the other bits. If I buy everything in the long run it may be more expensive, but this way I can buy Birthright and then if I like it then buy Conquest, and if I'm not sick to the gills with FE, then download Revelations. Steelbooks and posters don't really mean much to me.
I'll be curious to see if Star Fox Guard will be less than £15, If I can buy Star Fox 0 for £35, there isn't much of a saving.
@Sligeach indeed, though sadly at the moment they are "main place" to get Nintendo products are retail as most supermarkets have dropped Nintendo and there isn't a lot of entertainment stores left. My local HMV only sells 3 Wii U and 4 3DS games, no Amiibo, no accessories nothing
@DadOfFour1972
May be worth grabbing one though. This will sell second hand for a few hundred once the stock runs out as they're so limited. Amazon US sold out in like half hour and look at the second hand prices now.
@MrGawain I don't see many people buying guard above £15
"I think I'll wait for Nintendo UK to open pre-orders thanks"
Do you know how many people have been waiting to pounce on this edition? If you wait you won't get one. Just a warning.
Apparently the Hyrule Warriors LE is also 'only at GAME' so I wouldn't put much stock by that. It'll be in the Ninty UK store soon.
Don't think I'll bother, not sure I want both versions of the game when just one will do.
Game don't deserve it. They've treated nintendo very shabbily..depleting the bays etc. I've heard game staff actively steering customers wanting a wiiu AWAY from it...advising that the nx is due asap so don't waste money (this was 6 months ago)
They should work with Smyths stores more. Their nintendo displays are fantastic..and they sell amiibo for £9 each
I'm sure over online retailers will have it as Nintendo themselves tweeted saying register your interest and showed a picture of the special edition! Amazon also has a placeholder! I'm sure GAME means they are the only physical retailer where you could go into a store to buy it! Still I'm taking no chances and got my pre-order in as soon as possible but I'll also keep my Amazon France pre-order in case Game messes the order up!
Are preorders only available for EU, or can outsiders also preorder? (Or is this just an in store exclusive?)
Missed out on my special edition chance due to it getting sold out so fast in the U.S but I'm still seriously enjoying the game, I beat conquest last week and the story was amazing. I started birthright yesterday and also purchased revelations. I highly recommend this game and although the dlc isn't that much blocks(around 700 each), I think the all in one cartridge saves you a little more space. I also hear you get more save slots? 0.o
That's another reason for me not to get this game.
Nintendo UK Store usually have these sorts of things, so I'd be very surprised if it doesn't appear there.
I hate Game.....
After playing Stella Glow (50hrs in & loving it), I'm finding it rather difficult to go back to Fire Emblem.
Already importing a copy of Disney Art Academy in May but if I've got some spare funds left over, I may pick up Birthright.
@PlywoodStick Pretty sure GAME has a UK only policy even for online orders. It was an issue in the early days of amiibo.
If you use Paypal to go direct from your bank account, GAME can only charge once, since Paypal would need authorisation for each transaction and multiple purchases won't go through. That's what saved me with Mario Maker. Still will avoid if possible, but for FE, I'll take the chance and cancel if I can get it elsewhere.
Waiting for Nintendo UK Online Store but will also preorder instore if possible. After the events of stuff like Super Mario Maker, I'll never trust their online preorder system but at the same time after the Splatoon situation I don't really trust the store setup either but I can swap the preorder at launch towards something like Xbox money or an eshop card..
I would've totally took the steel book and poster over both the 3DS pouch and ..... Well ... Just the pouch that I'll never use. I live in America.
...Maybe I'll move to EU...
Pre-ordered for £70. I think that's a bargain not the 51 day long wait
Whether anyone believes me is up to the individual person, but I was concerned about GAME and so I emailed a staff member at GAME HQ that I know mentioning this and referencing the issue with Super Mario Maker and their reply was as follows.
"Hi Jason,
This was an isolated incident and has not happened since, so you do not need to worry.
Kind Regards,"
I also pre-ordered the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Collector’s Edition Guide from GAME.co.uk earlier this year and they charged me £19.99 and not £139.93.
@Mogster $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I tried preordering it and when I got to checkout another £20 had been added to the price...
@GrizzlyArctos That is odd... I just CHECKED OUT the check out. lol
and it says £69.99 and not a penny more?
@wazlon
Just so you know, Birthright and Conquest are totally separate games. I'm in NA and have played both, and can safely assure you both games are worth buying. And Revelation.
If you're just not that big a FE fan and don't think you'll play more than one game, that's fine of course.
But if you love Fire Emblem, this is like getting 3 entirely separate entries all as good, if not better than Awakening was. Better in fact- the maps in Conquest are so fascinatingly designed, I never dreamed such awesome maps could exist. Conquest is truly the best game in the series I've played.
@GrizzlyArctos Make sure nothing else is in your basket, I lift something in from weeks ago and almost bought it!
@Sakura Alright, thanks for the info! I'll wait and see if special editions get reprinted then... As unlikely as that may be.
@DoctorOverbuild To say this was something really hyped up about because pre-orders were selling out left and right all over Europe... I just casually ordered it on GAME.co.uk... heh heh...
@DoctorOverbuild @Alundra-1998 Just checked and there was an eShop card that wan't in the basket until I logged in for checkout. All fine now
@FragRed T'was only twice for Mario Maker and I should be able to withstand another screw up.
Besides, I wouldn't mind another voucher.
Pre-ordered!
If this comes up at the Nintendo store then I'll cancel my order and get it there but to be fair to GAME, they were very good when I wanted to change my Pokken Tournament order.
To those saying they will wait for nintendo store uk, why not just order this now while it is available and cancel if you get lucky with a nintendo store one, that's what i'm doing
@Alundra-1998 Hahah I was really stressed that I wouldn't get one makes me feel sorry for the rest of Europe!
@GrizzlyArctos Glad you sorted it out!
Preordered, but will cancel if it comes up on Nintendo's UK store and I manage to bag it there. I just cannot stand GAME.
I wish all EU users luck in getting a Special Edition. Hopefully NoE has the insight to have a more robust stock.
Signed,
A US FE fan who missed out on preorders because they opened up while they were at work.
It's not like they had much choice, GAME is the only dedicated videogame store I'm aware of in the whole UK. Where else would they sell it... HMV? lol
Game just sold out. Told you all demand was really high for this. If you didn't pounce on it the chances of getting it from anywhere else is a lot slimmer.
Pre-ordered on Game, will just have to take the risk on the £1k!
this isn't a bad price considering conquest and birthright are going to be £35 each as two extra games. Or do the downloads get a discount if you get them on the eshop, whilst having the Fates on cartridge?
Well, I wait for this for months, and then it sells out 20 minutes before I find out about it... Yeah, if Nintendo keeps this lack of stock thing up, they're going to lose a lot of customers. First the Amiibos, then this.
@FX102A thank you very very much for that info
AWESOME!!!! I cant wait to get THIS special edition of fire emblem fates. the one in us only had 2 of the things but this one has a poster and a steel book............wait it is UK only........
@Firnen
Game had pre-orders up since around 3AM. There was a big window of opportunity to get it. They only closed pre-orders at 3PM. That's 12 hours, which for this edition, considering other places sold out in less than an hour, is very good.
I am REALLY happy about pre-ordering the Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition for Nintendo 3DS today.
If we all think about it for a few minutes however... This is a £104.97 bundle for £69.99 which is a saving of £34.98 which is effectively ONE of the three games included in the box for free apart from a penny.
You also get a double-sided poster, steel book AND artbook thrown in as well.
Was going to pre order but they have sold out. The only reason I was going to pre order was to have all three games on one card. As I dont like downloads. Not interested in the art book etc.
I though Nintendo would have learned from the limited fiasco in the states.
If the limited edition goes on sale I will consider getting it but I won't now buy the more costly games that are being sold separately.
.Most of these pre orders will be selling on eBay the day of release for three times the cost. Nintendo are be to blame for this profiteering. Another bad marketing ploy by Nintendo.
Wont allow me to pre order at Game? Anyone else with this issue?
Ah...I was kind of looking forward to getting this, but just as I find it's available...it's gone. Hopefully they might restock, or be available on the nintendo store, but I highly doubt it, considering what happened in America
@Marshi Yep, that's because they've already sold out unfortunately. There's still some chance that they might restock, but I'm not too hopeful.
By exclusive, I think they mean their PHYSICAL stores are the only physical stores you can walk into and buy the set (Assuming your local store will have any left after launch day.). For online, its sure to show up on Nintendo's Store too, afterall they're sure to bundle it with Amiibo and possibly a free T Shirt as well. XD
@zool But then us fans in the know already knew there was a stock issue over there so of course it was always going to sell out fast no matter how many copies Nintendo produce, whether it be fans or dem resellers...
@Angelic_Lapras_King not true. Its all to do with poor marketing by Nintendo.
@Mr_Wright Damn! Only just found out! My inly hope is that I get a prompt email from Nintendo Uk Store when pre orders are up on that store. But knowing me as soon as I see the email it will be out of stock there too! Dont want any other version than this so heres hoping...
Thanks for the heads up, NLife, I would have totally missed this otherwise.
This should be much more widely available as a 'value edition' rather than as a limited. Right now there's a lot of hype that Nintendo could use to fuel sales of all three versions together- I'd be interested to learn how many people miss out on this version to later buy a single version of the game (with intentions of buying more later) but don't go on to any more purchases after getting their fill with just one campaign.
The Fire Emblem annoyance was somehow the turning point for me. It was the very first time in my life that I really wanted to buy a special edition of a game (believe it or not) and when I realized it was sold out (a couple of weeks ago in Poland) I felt really bad about not getting to pre-order a copy. Then I realized that I shouldnt really care too much about games. If their next consoles wont be backwards compatible then I am gonna buy one or two more wii us and one or two more 3ds and call it a day. I have a huge backlog of games and some other hobbies. I am beginning to dislike nintendos (arrogant) business practices. They dont really seem to care about what their fans want.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, OUT ALREADY?! ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! See if this is another situation with those american scalpers. I'm actual done.
@ThomasBW84 Erm, not too sure this is actually accurate, there may be hope yet:
"Fire Emblem: Fates Special Edition is only available at selected GAME stores, GAME.co.uk and NINTENDO.CO.UK. This does not affect your statutory rights."
Assuming they mean store.nintendo.co.uk
Hmmm. It sold which is pretty disappointing to people who didn't get it but it shows how they have a certain level of control on their stock! I'm hyped for this ge and keep an eye out on the UK store people!
@RIC616 As I just found out while pre-ordering Star Fox Zero First Print Edition from GAME, you cannot use gift cards. I too had the £10 voucher still and after redeeming it to their wallet app thingy it won't allow you to apply it at checkout. Typical.
Game.co.uk
I would avoid buying any gift cards for a company that could go under! It's the only thing that the store cannot take once it goes into administration.
@Lord you do have a point, the Game have had problems just a few years ago. Anything could happen in the next 50 days, before release. There are selling Hyrule Warrior's 3ds in my local Game at £50.00. And like most Nintendo games it has to be ordered, you can't just walk in and purchase the game and take it away. They don't want to invest in stock that might not sell. They are not the right company to have sole Limited Edition rights, in my opinion.
While it is sold out at least stock seemed to last a bit longer than other places. The price is a real surprise for me as I was totally expecting an £80 RRP. I'm still happy with my £25 conquest pre-order from Amazon.
I hope anyone that orders this doesn't suffer famous payment problems (I'm not talking taking the money 7 times time but payment failed because the PayPal details you used expired because PayPal is not designed around pre-orders or you need to change credit card for some reason and there is no option on the site to do this and support just say "why not re-order it").
@Alundra-1998 You're right about the saving money part but I question the accuracy of how much. The DLC versions of Brithright, Conquest and Revelation route will not be £35 each. I think £20 is likely and well 35+40=75...
@Toaster05 I remember hearing people used to be able to trick the system by adding a non-pre order item to their basket, using the credit then deleting said item from the basket. I've not personally tried this though.
@Sakura "If you use Paypal to go direct from your bank account, GAME can only charge once, since Paypal would need authorisation for each transaction and multiple purchases won't go through. That's what saved me with Mario Maker."
What if I just use PayPal? Can PayPal still only authorise one charge?
Well this has been a massive buzz kill for me. First its only available at GAME (urgh) and it's sold out.
I really wanted the full experiance on the one cart and this is such a great package with the extra's. Its killed my hype guess I'll just pick up conquest at a later date I guess but it feels like I'll be missing out or paying extra for the full experiance now.
I'll be getting off the hype train at the next station.
@nik1470 The GAME exclusive situation is nothing but lies. The Nintendo UK Online Store always gets the limited editions so I'd recommend keeping an eye out on store.nintendo.co.uk . Create an account in advance if you haven't already and you have a decent change of getting the special edition.
@Starwolf_UK I was going off the prices that GAME.co.uk had set for Birthright and Conquest when I calculated that, just so you know.
Birthright: http://www.game.co.uk/en/fire-emblem-fates-birthright-324194
Conquest: http://www.game.co.uk/en/fire-emblem-fates-conquest-895455
So my calculations were quite accurate.
@Bsham Yeah, see that's kinda exactly what I meant. If 12 hours is a long window for pre-orders, there's something seriously wrong. Game had a special editon for A Link Between Worlds when that first came out, and the pre-orders were actually open for long enough that poeple could actually, you know, pre order it. Nintendo are just making artificial scarcity, and it'll only hurt them, through loss of potential customers for this game and others in the future.
@Starwolf_UK I'll give that a go next time I need to risk GAME fleecing my account. I just paid the asking price for Starfox and will hope that maybe I'll secure a FE at a later date.
Really hope so anyway.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't believe I missed this! I better be able to get hold of a copy from the Nintendo store!
@Alundra-1998 I'm afraid I don't know. My PP account is verified etc and I think that helps with security too and is a pre-requisite to having payments come direct from your bank. I get notification of every transaction via text and email so can keep an eye on things. GAME did try to take payment for Mario Maker 5 times, but all payments were refunded in the end so I got it for free because there was "no mechanism" for GAME to charge me again even though I told them of their error.
@Sakura I actually got charged once and then refunded and ended up getting Super Mario Maker for £0.00.
The only thing I am concerned about is that I normally have a few pre-orders over time and having one not cost what I have planned for could put out a domino effect on the other pre-orders.
@Toaster05 What did you pay? Any more than £49.99 would be a complete rip off...
@Alundra-1998 I meant to say that one charge was taken then refunded, but the other 4 were refused before any money left the account. I'm multi-tasking. Badly. I had notifications that GAME had tried to take money, but it wasn''t authorised so Paypal asked me to check with GAME. No way I'd order from GAME without Paypal, and even then, if I find the SE elsewhere I will cancel.
@Mogster We got a whatever pouch in the US, I would have liked to get the steelbook
@Sakura So it looks like PayPal is the safest option with GAME?
At least safer than simply using a Debit Card...
Ah, already sold out it seems. Ah nevermind, I'll just pick up conquest on the day - or pre-order if it comes up on Nintendo UK.
I'm seriously looking forward to this one. It's great to see Fire Emblem get the press it deserves!
@Alundra-1998 I think so, but I don't know whether simply using Paypal is as secure as having a Paypal account. There might be differences in how charges are processed. In theory it should be better than GAME having your card details.
All gone. GAME can go f*ck themselves!
@Sakura I have got a confirmed and verified PayPal account as well.
I am wanting to believe the member of staff that told me as it was not just the generic Customer Service email...Oh no...
I have the email of someone from the GAME Headquartees.
@Alundra-1998 Well, it definitely stopped me being overcharged for Mario Maker. You should be good to go.
It might also turn up on the Nintendo Store too though. Sometimes that happens even with exclusivity.
I'm pretty annoyed at missing out on this, hope there are more on the UK store. Refuse to believe demand is that high, just really short stock shortages. If i can't get this i'm not likely to stump up the money for the individual games out of protest and maybe more besides. I'm not really sure what else i could've done, i've registered interest in the game, subscribed to social media feeds and emailed the nintendo store for information(they game me no information) but i have a job to do, i can't spend time during the day watching nintendolife/online retailers like a hawk....
@Andrzej777 Same with me. What is even more pathetic is that there were around 30 copies (AT BEST) of that for the whole country That's sad.
@blondeandy demand is "high", because the print is really, really low. In Essen (and some other close to it big cities in Germany) guys said there were like maybe 3-5 copies for pre-ordering that sold out within minutes or some not even getting it at all, because there was none.
Watch out for braindead white knights - they will call you names and say you're idiot for having life and not refreshing online retailers every second and it's your fault and not mighty and glorious Nintendo and to prove their point that it's your fault they will give you sites that sold out on it long ago, but they don't know, because they don't spreche Deutch or some other thing.
Meh, SEs are short on stock everywhere. Got my copy on preorder, thanks EB Games
and NOA gives us the shaft once again. Seriously, we need to do something about this uneven fan treatment...
"Fire Emblem: Fates Special Edition is only available at selected GAME stores, GAME.co.uk and Nintendo.co.uk. This does not affect your statutory rights." - Taken from the game page on Game's website, surely this means it will be available on the nintendo store as well?
@Dave24
Its really pathetic what nintendo pulled off here. I dont actually believe there was like 30 copies for a whole country, though - that would be ridiculous but still the demand definitely was not met by far.
And like you already implied, I am not gonna spend my whole days checking online retailers - I have got a life to live. Technically we are not missing out on anything nor are we saving anything cause the digital version will bring the same content and the roughly cost the same. I think nintendo shouldnt have brought out a limited edition at all. IMHO they should have let people pre-order that edition and produce as many copies as there were pre-orders, a pre-order-only limited edition. That would have been fair IMHO>
@PlywoodStick SE pal version is up on Play Asia. Expensive though.
http://www.play-asia.com/fire-emblem-fates-special-edition/13/70a005?ref=agent&sc1=N406272183
@blondeandy There is an unverified image going around that is said to be the French stock allocation and it lists the day 1 stock as Conquest: 40,000 Birthright: 40,000 Limited edition: 7,000
When you consider that France is likely to be the biggest market for this game and saw similarly quick sell-outs the low stock story seems likely. Sadly, Nintendo's perspective I feel is "how can we use this to make retailers buy more copies of Birthright/Conquest". Some of this might be if you were to buy this all on the eShop you wouldn't get an artbook or steelbook so those items effectively lose Nintendo money. I think Nintendo are losing a lot of good will instead though...
"I am not gonna spend my whole days checking online retailers - I have got a life to live."
LOL. I have a life to live too, but until I got my copies pre-ordered life had to take a back -seat, and it worked.
@Trinexx It's already sold out unfortunately so I guess I'm not getting it from Game
@Andrzej777 I completely agree with you. The game has already sold out at Game already and I'm waiting for and email from Nintendo UK for when it becomes available.
@Mr_Wright I was just talking to the support team about it and they say it's unlikely that they'll get anymore in now.
@AJ_Okami
The second most pathetic thing in regard to this whole matter is the fact that Nintendo doesnt really care about this problem - they might even take delight in it. When the Limited Editions pre-order was sold out in Japan and there was still high demand and fans outcry they produced a second run (according to wiki). When the same thing happened in NA, nintendo didnt intervene at all. Nintendo will most certainly be aware of scalpers selling the LE at ridiculously high prices - yet they dont intervene. This is a sitution which they have created and which only they can undo. But they dont care. I dont know if there is any other company like that. Like I said before - this way of doing business is the major reason why I am re-considering the purchase of any future systems from nintendo - I will probably miss out on some great titles as I do believe nintendo produces the best games but there is just too many annoyances that you to put up with in general. The price for being a nintendo fan has become quite high IMHO.
@Bsham yeah you could be right
@Starwolf_UK Yeah, all goodwill has gone out of the window for me, not really embracing any of the new account stuff going on at the mo and cancelled a bunch of preorders. I, like a lot of people, have other consoles and a PC so i'm not stuck for things to play. I just like to support nintendo as believe they make awesome games, if they are going to make it difficult for me to get the games/amiibo i want i'll just stop bothering. Right now, nintendo need as much goodwill as they can garner but between this, controversial sackings, lacklustre mobile debuts and youtube copyright strikes they aren't doing a great job at the mo...
Pre-ordered from Play Asia. Not taking any chances and tired of constantly monitoring Nintendo UK online store/Amazon UK for when they will open pre-orders here. Also I am a bit pissed off with Nintendo's online store for not opening pre-orders. What are they waiting for???
@AJ_Okami Oh...well that's annoying thanks for letting me know, I guess I'll just have to buy the separately then. I still find this to be a very strange move on nintendo's part, why would they not want to meet the demand!? It's not as if they're not aware of it, they just seem to be flat-out ignoring what consumers want.
@Mr_Wright
I just discovered this to, cant believe it was only up for 12 hours! I wish us Nintendo fans could get e-mail alerts or something from Nintendo when stuff like this goes up for pre-order!
@Mr_Wright @JAG2045 It is for sale at gamestop.ie. They will ship to the UK.
https://www.gamestop.ie/Nintendo%203DS/Games/57854/fire-emblem-fates-special-edition
@JAG2045 I know! I wouldn't even have found out that I missed the opportunity to preorder had nintendolife not published this article! I can't imagine it's that hard for nintendo to email people interested in the special edition, but apparently it is, because there are now tons of people without the special edition who wanted it...
@Schro Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately I might have to pass on this, considering it's roughly 95 quid, and I really don't have enough money
@Mr_Wright I am still hoping I can grab it from the Nintendo UK shop, then I will cancel the stupidly expensive gamestop one.
@JaxonH Now you've said that I want to buy them both!
Problem is I haven't even started Awakening and I don't know whether to buy all the DLC for Awakening (it's on sale this week) or just get all both Fates games and start there. Choices, choices!
@Mr_Wright
It sucks that games are becoming digital only codes and the only way to get physical copies are "limited edition" between this and the Star Fox 0 screw ups I hope Nintendo learns a lesson and stops doing this!
@AJ_Okami I got an email from Nintendo.... the limited edition already shows out of stock :S (clicked my email as soon as it turned up in my inbox). There is an Amiibo version though for 115, which is still in stock.
@Alundra-1998 Sorry, forgot to reply. Same price as the Nintendo store, sans the ugly t-shirt.
Edit: Oh just to mention I managed to pre-order from the Nintendo store for Fire Emblem. Just got lucky by getting the email in a timely fashion I guess.
