@97alexk

Woohoo, me too! Flying from Finland, staying two nights in hotel at Södermalm (I can "spring vacation" excuse)

.....and I was so planning to wear my cool black t-shirt where is Toon Link and it says "Nintendo World New York" But who knows.....

Umm.. Aftonbladet. Not really the high-end kind of news making.

Besides, feminism in Sweden has gotten out of hand. Seriously. And it annoys me that where it spears first? Here of course.. GRR!

They have kindergardens that have no boys or girls, there are just "friends".
(IMHO, no matter how hard you try, the biological differences are still there).

So like others... Isn't it TPTBs job to rate it and then up to people, if they buy it? Like any other game, let's say violent games (GTA, MadWorld, wargames) etc.

But Aftonbladet... meh. They have such a silly articles...!

I have Samurai Warriors Katana, would like Warriors Orochi.

I've played over 100h of HW and not even close to done with it. Even with sad framerate drops and all. I just enjoy the game so much.

I like hack 'n slash but since haven't owned the systems to play those.

Oh Zant. How awesome is he (okay, I actually only find Darunia boring and Ruto bit annoying).

@EvilDrBA

Sounds interesting but then again, I am signed in UK's CN and I assume Germany has it's own?

But for your case, I have one unregistered game, I mean PIN for stars (Ninja Gaiden Razos Edge) - do you have WiiU? Can you message me thru there (you see my IDs in my profile).

First fix on eShop should be that you can buy the game but you don't have to download it right away. Had this problem when I didnn't have external drive. Drove me mad "sorry, you don't have enough space to buy this game". WAA!

And they really should indicate somewhere in eShop that Visa Electron is not accepted and with that, to make buying eShop cards much more easier, wider. Here it's limited to GS, thankfully I am old enough to have a card other than Electron, otherwies I'd have no chance to get money to eShop.

I have 4000 or something stars as well but cannot get one, since the stupid Nordic Countries doesn't have CN and those countries that have only ship to their own countries. (I've used UK, got wii points card that way but not possible with Wii U since you cannot change your country like you could with Wii)

Just looked at their website and they wanted to publish in in Jan and now again they don't know. I wonder what's the problem is.

And I am going to buy. Both. Even Trine 2 made me yell at tv every now and then

.... YAY FOR FINNISH GAMING INDUSTRY!

@Grumblevolcano

Oh! Agreeing on Path of Radiance! They should really take advance on Fire Emblem hype that started with Awakening (No, I am not one bit upset I didn't buyt that game when it was still available cheap used, Radiant Dawn I did manage to buy new and cheap)

Ohoh! I preordered this before the news here! I've been furiously searchng when they appear. Finnish stores seem to have preorders open.

I actually have order in two places. First I preordered those from cheaper place but then I don't trust their stock system, I ordered from website that I know will stop taking preorders once full. I really have to cancel the other one and hope I do get the latter.

I have so manypreorders running that it's hard to keep up with!

CDON still has both available for preorder (MM and Xenoblade - it's the site tho that I am not so sure can they keep up with preorders)

@Setery10

Finland is in Europe so it has the same region than Italy

Of course console rsing in Europe doesn't really help those in US.

@NicolausCamp

I thought CDON uses same stock for all the countries, but doesn't seem so. Finnish site has no that console left.Webhallen shows the same thing (that it can be ordered) ...Webhallens website is so funny..it basicly is in Finnish but, there is still Swedish mixed and some odd translations.

I kind of like that Limited Edition is limited, but why we start to be out of stock with everything ...? Well games are still there, but everything else. Doesn't Ninty believe that they sell or do they just create anger and fuss so their items would get more desirable...?

A Finnish webstore Verkkokauppa had a few yesterday, but seems those are sold out now - besides, wouldn' t matter since they only deliver inside the country. (I was pretty annoyed since I thought they were already sold out in pre-order so I went with basic 3ds)

There seems to be one on Finnish online store called VPD, price 329 :/ (I guess you can order from other country, you just have to contact them beforehand)

@ultraraichu

I am amazed if Fire Emblem Amiibos don't restock - if they can be used in Codename S.T.E.A.M.

I am still amazed about this latest European Amiibowave. Only MegaMan and Sonic available. Seriously.

I preordered a bunch of next one but who knows...

@FX102A
Oh and make it digally downloadable!

Meanwhile Europe gets nothing new, The Nordic Countries are still left out like all this time CN existed. Yes, we get codes from games but no use - with Wii you could use stars to get Wiipoints, since with Wii you could change your country. I think I have some 8000 stars...

@Timppis

AAH! Forgot to visit GS when I was in Helsinki. I was planning to but I got distracted

Last wawe, the only one I actually got from my PreOrders was MegaMan.

We don't have hoarders but seems like the country itself is getting very little of Amiibos. And in a way, only a few carry those (like my both two local Gigantti, neither one has Amiibos - other is crappy with games anyways)... Which reminded me that I have to check BR Toys today. I always forget they have Nintygames and yes, amiibos (I checked it when the first ones came).
Link doesn't seem to be problem anymor here. I see plenty of stocks.

So far I got Link, Zelda, Sheik, Cpt Falcon, Pikachu, StarFox, MegaMan, Villager , Yoshi, Ike, Marth, Samus, Kirby, ToonLink.

About the stories... eeew that manager. Since it's a chain, I'd contacted someone on upper level.

Here getting MegaMan doesn't seem to be a problem (it still available from CDON) but everything else in this wave. 30days - Dedede, Shulk, MetaKnight. Basicly everything else is out of stock except Link, Zelda, DK, DiddyK, Pikachu, Luigi, Mario, Samus.

Kirby, Kirby, Kirby. Even not 10e discount, 19.99 is still cheaper than trying to find it phsyical (and when you do, it's 40e).

Upcoming Sin and Punishment... bought it year ago for 14.90 and still available for that in stores, if you can find it.

@97alexk

I know this comes late, but in Finland several online retailers had this Skull Kid Figurine when you ordered console and game bundle. I have one on my way. And those who had pre-ordered it before were notified that figurine was included.

Gerudo Valley is all I need

I am going to Stockholm for this, yay!

@Yosher

I feel sorry for US too :/ I finally got my Marth, restocked on CDON (seems they sold all). Hubby brought Kirby and Toon Link from one store - Rosalina, Ike and Sheik I ordered, but Rosalina got delayed. I am worrying about MegaMan since it's all hubby wants. But truly hope I can get it.. pffft. Maybe I have to put up another preorder, haven't really done it with Amiibos.

I've barely seen any Kirby's, now I cheked the store site hubby bought one from (they show all their supplies online, how much and where) and it is gone. I am glad I asked him to buy it

@Kirby_Fan_DL3

yeah, I understand that. But I don't understand why you ranted about the game review, since it is _the_game_review

I know theere are some that thnk it cannot be good since it's an old game or so...

@Kirby_Fan_DL3

As you know, it's a review about the GAME, not how the remake was made? Got it?

It was a wonderful game back then and I don't think it has changed since that - it is still wonderful game - and I doubt Ninty would be stupid enough to ruin it with remakes.

@ikki5

Oh FF VI is so great - I do like all IV, V and VI, but even with all sadness and madness (and refers to nazis IMHO), the story is just. Wonderful. And makes you laugh every now and then (yay for Edgar!) - and it has my all time fave villain : Ultros

My FF games have stopped at X

I just bought Rabbids land for 4.90e from eShop before Christmas

I have some of those, but Rayman Legends and Child of Light really worth the money - if you can

And hasn't RL being cheaper than that - 19e? Or has it been that just in Europe?

And the bad thing with bigger games that yeah, you can get physical games cheaper.

@asgarod21

Ah yes, would think they'd stock more once it comes out.

I just ordered Rosalina, Ike and Sheik - only Rosalina it says from "4-6 days". Stupid me, could have waited for a week since hubby is going to city that has one gaming store that has (for now) Rosalina in stock. But since I'e paid already, I really don't bother to change my order. I hope they do get Rosalina this week or I'd prefer to change it to something they have.

Pit, oh I saw those too. But only a few left - I may check tomorrow, if those are still there and maybe buy. Maybe.

I'd still like to know what's the point with this lack-of-stock. Didn't Ninty expect them to sell this well?

@asgarod21

Aww But I see Marth (Isn't that Marth between Kirby and Cpt Falcon?)

....now I am so tempted to buy that Little Mac

@asgarod21

I was wondering should should I start a business, since my only local store that sells Amiibos had Little Macs (didn't buy one since he doesn't interest me) And the store hasn't had Marth or Fit Trainer or Villager or wave two was also missing a few characters.

I managed to grab Villager from CDON (they also have this "get email notification once it's again in stock and ordered right away when I got the email - the same thing never happened with Marth)

Is that Germany pic from Saturn..? Visited one in Berlin a year ago, now that's a size for electronics store

I, too, have tried to find Trilogy cheap. But have failed and then not bought it since some other games came and so on.. I do have the first Prime for GB, bought it for 5e I think two years (as new - I got F-Zero GX and Prime for 10e together)

Well I have most of those already....

For FE, I am more looking of Path of Radiance, since I managed to buy RD as new little after FEA was released.

Super Paper Mario.

@S3OL

Same here. I really don't care for the English dubbing, didin¨t use it in XC more than had to (changed to Japanese first thing when it was possible) and same is going to be with this one.

Besides, even I do watch lots of English spoken shows without subtitles, those are still easier to keep up with than spoken language (well there is probably subtitles on/off even with dubbing)

@FritzFrapp

Painful to go thru the opening scene and then madly fast going to settings and change to Japanese.

Even I've been told that dubbing in XC was good.. Don't know. Played first time for 170h and only the opening in English.

@Guybrush20X6

Oh original is so much better! Thankfully the first game had option for Japanese, I'd gone mad listening to English dubbing.

I hope it's the same in X.

"lives in subtitle country"

@JellySplat

Yeah. It kind of looks so basic but I like the logo on it. (tho I was bit sad when LBW edition came out). It's not too much. And now I was sure I'll get the next Zelda edition, but I am not going to spend 300e (plus postages): GameStops here has reasonable price for it, but nearest is 200km from me so... and I guess you have to visit store to get stuff.

If there is still stock later this year after the buzz is gone, maybe I get it and sell the regular that I am orderning now.

...And then they say Nintendo is dying

@Spartacus3765

Well, it's Bergsala that has Ninty under its wings here in Nordic countries and I don't know why they haven't joined CN network. Few years ago in Finland it was AMO that had Nintystuff here and then Bergsala bought them (or something). I think they could create one for the Nordic countries, we already have several online retailers that ship to all to nordic countries (Webhallen, CDON, Discshop).

But our games include those PINs

And now amazingly in online stores have bundles that have console+MM physical game and Skull Kid figurine

EDIT: But I do understand that somehow stopping this kind of robbery (even there is two sides). eBay banning preorder sales would be one.

I'd have a change to pre-order MMedition but it's damn 300e!
And one store is giving the figurine

But then again, I own now XL - will I be disappointed if I buy regular 3ds? Because I don't want plain colour one (I have XL FE edition)

@Spartacus3765

And then the countries that DON'T HAVe Nintendo Club (like the Nordic Countries) are left out.

I'd never dare to buy preorder from eBay or so. And I blame those who go to buy from them.

I checked some Finnish (and Nordic websites). CDON doesn't take preorders anymore, Verkkokauppa is sold out, VPD and Coolshop has preorder still available - I guess.
The problem is that I don't know how fast they update their stock.

Of course US is more problematic since you seem to have lots of these "only at" thingies going on.

Heck, I ordered LBW special edition from Game.co. uk, got everything until day when it should have shipped they said they don't have it. Sorry (tho I got the poster )

I am mostly just thinking should I go with XL MM edition or just to buy normal 3DS with MM covers (have FIre Emblem XL atm)

MM edition has the game preinstalled. Who says it is not?

CDON seems to be here the only one who as it available, for wonderful 299.95e price!

Of course that site is known for slapping items there for sale with made up price and then they fix it when they actually know what's the price. Today's Xl seems to cost there from 190e to 200e.

And the basic black model seems to cost 230e

Okay. Do I have to go to the store now and buy Little Mac? I really don't want to buy all at once, so I just picked Zelda, Star Fox and Cpt Falcon when I went to the only store that sells those around here.

@Vineleaf

Oh okay. Good to know. Haven't used other than Link there. DLC gave Dominion Rod to Zelda, I guess you can get that with amiibo, too.

One thing is sure, I think I need to put some money on the side...

It's hard to decide one, even I voted for Zelda. Zelda, X and Splatoon.

That list, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is the one I don't except that muchies...

Okay..what that chart seriously means for HW? Other amiibos give you rupees?

There was a reason why those are released for Wii U and not 3DS. I am sure I read about it last summer or so. Was it that 3DS could not emulate those and the ambassador games were just something unique they created.

Bit disappointed that Shovel Knight is on sale already But it has been totally worth the money.

Anyways, FE for me. I just managed to transfer funds and I am downloading the Xmas offers so enough for me to play...

@Luffymcduck

^Wait..there another game for Wii U that was made by us Finns?

...Got this now for support

(got here when I searched for review before buying)

DD and MK8. Voted for DD. I love the co-op there. MK8 has just so much more, more stuff. I miss Petey from DD and playing that I drove and hubby threw items and punched.

And Wii wasn¨'t bad either

I am surprised also that Child of Light didn't get any love

OTherwise I have no complaints

OMG!

What an awesome add!

...oh I loved Road Rash so much and erm..even this isnn't road rash, I can't wait to have this on WiiU

I actually don't own 3D World... time to move some euros to card that I can use in eShop.

I know Rabbids Land is awful but maybe, maybe. I love Rabbid mayhem.

I already saw on CDON WatchDogs for 22e , now seems to be 30e.

Child of Light is totally worth the money - it is amazing game with wonderful sounds and wonderful looks, same with Rayman Legends. probably the only ubi games with little of glitches (and ZombiU).

And Goomba theme!

I approve this.

Oh man. Do I have to preorder MegaMan already? Doesn't seem t be any easier for my tiny country.

Unless in GameStops (there isn't any near me).. the stores don't either have Amiibos or they have only 9 (Mario, Link, DK, Peach, Starfox, Samus, Pikachu, Yoshi - Okay, 8 - I am not sure if I've seen Kirby either.

I went thru the gaming websites and nothing. Especially those four not mentioned (Trainer, Villager, Marth, Kirby).

The store I bought my Link and Yoshi - they must have sold those from their net store, since I cannot find it anymore. So I do hope, when January comes - internet retailers find some in stock and order since I am not getting near any place that I could find Villager. Or Marth.

I wasn't plannig to get these, but damn I just like figures... waa waa waa.

Wait... I just bought F-Zero X few months ago!

I bought N64 used from a friend for 600FIM (about 100e) with four games, three controllers. I hated that you had to buy extra stuff, such as Extension Pack.

Golden Eye, multiplayer and throwing knives.

And of course it gave us also OoT and MM. I never really had money or ways to buy games, since I think GC was already out and I was still a teen and less and less places were selling games here. And I remember those mad days at internet auctions trying to get OoT and finally MM. And Perfect Dark.
V-Rally also gave so much laugh when playing with my sister.

Still have few games to buy, even tho I just bought StarFox64 3D (because found it cheap)

Conrtoller is huge, but after all getting used to it. Different ways to hold it.

Would you like to hear it again?
