Won't see anything anytime soon. Fact is a PS4 VR headset is incredibly expensive and powered by powerful hardware but still has issues. How can Nintendo possibly make one in the right price range that works with limited hardware power?
Well, emulators do keep Wii U games digitally around forever instead of having it die out. Good for preservation and given that new Wii U games are almost sold out only second hand sellers will see profit, not Nintendo. This isn't actually harming Nintendo profit wise even if the method is controversial.
I got the Halo Guardians collector edition with that model figure for £30 reduced from £130 odd from Game new. Thing is I don't own an Xbox One anymore. Pure impulse. Model looks cool though.
@DizziParadise "As soon as the result was in he was backtracking on the extra money for the NHS"
Farage is not in government so he has no say in extra money going to the NHS. He only said that as the dumb reporter asked him the question when she shouldn't have as he has no power to decide that as he's not in government.
@HappyMaskedGuy "We are all less safe, less open, less trusting and less influential"
Less influential? We're the fifth biggest economy in the world. Less safe? Why? Germany going to invade us again lol. Scotland can't afford to leave the UK, you need us English as your so poor. The English see the Scots as a thorn in their side.
@HandheldGuru97 "Ireland will try to take back Northern Ireland, through a vote or at worse force"
lol, Ireland have no desire to unite with Northern Ireland. The majority living in Northern Ireland are of British and Scottish descent and NI is Protestant while Ireland is Catholic. They're completely different people culturally. And force is just laughable.
Used to go crazy over limited editions then realised how pointless they are. Love collecting standard editions but got no love for over priced stuff no more.
Grading games and PAYING for it? Seriously? All you have to do is look at what you have, if it's complete with no damage then people will buy it for at or near its value. Simple as. If it has minor damage people will buy it for slightly less. If it's not complete you will get less again. It's just pure logic.
Grading became worthless since the invention of the digital camera.
If it keeps the 3D I will buy it, if not I will still buy it I just won't buy a tent and camp out at a store. I loves my 3D it just makes games look so much more interesting with them extra depths and dimensions.
HAHA! I screwed up big time. I had a Game order but cancelled it when I thought I got the Nintendo "second wave" order. Now that got cancelled. Shame, but it's a game, so I will get over it and no scalper is gonna temp me. I'm gonna spend my pre-order money on something nice for myself now to soften the blow.
Scalpers are hardly the scum of the earth, they just see an opportunity to make a profit in the same way all businesses do. It's just human nature. If you want to blame anyone blame Nintendo for making such limited quantities of certain things.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm actually someone who prefers original voices. I find english dubbing kind of out of place.
@May_Nyan They always have a "second-wave". Might be up later or in a day or so. The Kirby Amiibo bundle for the Robobot game sold out fast but then they added more.
"For a brand many said was becoming irrelevant in home consoles, it has garnered the attention of everyone"
No credible source has ever written Nintendo off in the home console market. Forum dwellers don't count. The industry knows full well just what Nintendo is capable of after witnessing the Wii and DS domination.
Companies may have skipped the Wii U, like EA, but now they're coming back to Nintendo in a big way if the rumours are true because they know Nintendo is anything but written off.
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.
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.
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.

Gonna skip the special edition. Fates was worth it with the one game card thing but this is a pure cash-in for collectors and hoarders.

Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
Dam, you're right they added one per customer, the sneaky people. Saves me cash I guess. I ordered 2. Atleast the scalpers will get screwed.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
@nintyfandavid
Actually Game's order limit is 80. Where did you get it's one per customer from? If it was one per customer it would say one only. What's your source?
I have 2 pre-ordered on Game and they not cancelled either.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
Game actually said and I quote:
"only available at selected GAME stores, GAME.co.uk and Nintendo.co.uk" It's right there on the games page.

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.
Re: GAME Grabs UK Exclusivity of Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition
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.
Re: GAME Grabs UK Exclusivity of Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition
"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.
Re: GAME Grabs UK Exclusivity of Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition
@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.
