Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, not for $500.

@CashGunsChaos
Mmmmmm, indeed they should. Good show old boy. Such a great game that they gave a less than deserved score to.

I have voted for this like 25+times. Am I alone on this? This would be the most epic thing ever.

No option to show my love for Gravity Badgers. WTF.

Dot Arcade! I have been so pumped for this game.

@Storytime7
Yeah, I had the Wii version. It was chunky but just good enough. When I watch video of the 3DS one though, when the group is roaming, it looks super messy. I know it's amazing that it is on a handheld at all, but I just think it would drive me nuts.

I want to be excited, but it just looks junky. The stills look nice, but when I watch video of it, especially when roaming the map, it looks bad.

@Grumblevolcano
Not really. At all. If you look at other companies that release new hardware Nintendo usually takes a slower approach. They are simply trying to stay ahead. Which is smart. So it's the right decision.

Ah man, the trailer looked awesome. Damn you fools! Why?!?!

I got this game in the 3DS Ambassador bundle. Such a good game.

This will be the first time I pick up a Mario Party game. Looks like fun.

I am super impressed that Nintendo was able to put this game out as a 3DS game. But that flicker. So much flicker. I can't do it. It would drive me nuts.

@justlink
I highly doubt that the majority of amiibo sales are due to scalpers. You could never really prove that anyway. I have sold amiibo for profit on eBay, but I collect them too. I'm not a scalper, but if one I own becomes worth more than double than what I paid I will sell it. I think there is a lot of that going on.

So again, I HIGHLY doubt the sales are due to scalpers. It's a mixed bag.

In regards to Nintendo not providing enough stock. They have sold millions of these things. MILLIONS. How many Wii U units have sold world wide? I believe that they produced enough stock based on how many compatible systems they have sold. I would put my own hard earned dollars down that if the Wii U had sold in the PS4 area of sales, there would have been a lot more amiibo on those shelves. You can't blame a company for watching numbers and basing production decisions on those numbers.

In regards to the tweet. That's how eBay works. They know it. We know it. So it's not daft of them to promote themselves in this way. In fact, it's the opposite. They just told a ton of people that you can buy one of these things there. And, if you are willing to pay that much for one and the seller doesn't end up getting one thus leaving you out in the rain, eBay terms of service cover the purchaser so that they are not left paying for something they didn't receive.

(Sunglasses drop down on my face.)
Deal with it.

I got the NOA CN green canvas box, which I love. Wouldn't mind having the Japanese one. But that pop-up book. I want that for my son in the worst way.

@TomServo_89
So I brushed up on my "words British people use regularly" after yesterday. (Hangs head in shame) So I am making a peace offering.

Batman Year One #1 by Frank Miller NM OR Coventry #1 signed by Bill Willingham.

The choice is yours Tom, either one. Will ship to England. Have a good day.

Holy crap a Corbie Dillard review. What ever happened to that guy? He and James were the best writers for this site. Do miss.

I will gladly sell any UK resident my US version Shulk for $100 plus shipping.

Maaaaaaaaaan. I was hoping for a N3DS Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS special edition. Looks like this is it. Jumping Muhammad on a pogo stick NOA. Why you no like my money?!

I have been on the fence trying to decide if I should pick these games up. Thanks for the great review, you sold me.

Such an awesome game. 7/10 I think not. This is a 9/10. If you compared it to only NES games, it's a solid 10.

Nobody pretends Top Gun is cool dude. Top Gun is cool.

I forgot that I downloaded Alpha Saphire. I have been reading about these codes for a while and was like "I need to get this game". Went to buy it and I already had it. Come on brain, WTF.
Now I have all three of these and am only 5 minutes in to the game!

So we just have to get the really hard to find Shulk to access the bonus stuff. Jumping Jesus on a pogo-stick.
I am becoming increasingly annoyed with NOA.

I got requests from Amazon to push back the dates for Ike and Mega Man. Toon Link is in the mail though and gets to me tomorrow.

I got my NES in 1985. I played Super Mario Bros. every day for like a year straight. I never knew about this. I would never trade those hours in though. That game is super duper good.

@Damo

Mario being "blacked up" isn't offensive. Maybe to white people it is. Black face comedy way back when was offensive not only for the make-up, but because people would act buffoonish and overplay black stereotypes of the day. So it was mocking with black make-up on your face. Mario himself is a caricature of an Italian. So it could be argued that his existence at all is racist or offensive.

The Mario with the darkened skin in that picture is not offensive or racist. Neither is the snake charmer, the mariachi, or any of the other depictions. If one is offended by that, they are trying too hard to be offended.

It's click bait. The phrase "come on Nintendo, you're better than this" is a window into just how ridiculous the whole thing is. It's not like it just happened. This was a long time ago.

This person just wants attention and you gave it tothem. I wish this was like Reddit so I could help down vote this article.

Dude, you give this an 8, but Pier Solar you give a 6...

Look at how happy they are. Absolutely good for them.

@Tsuzura
Did you end up getting one?

That's it. Have fun you three.

I have four codes, three up for grabs.

Already got SMG2 yesterday. Picking up Lufia fo sho.

@River3636

People that are upset are usually more vocal than those that are happy. The internet is humanities emotion dumpster. Rarely does the vocal majority rear its head.
EDIT: And when they do, they are easily distracted.

@Savino
If you had to choose a funny way to go, that would be it. Local Man Agitates Alligators, Pays Ultimate Price.

@Savino
I had that in the list initially, but thought it struck a dark tone. I wanted to keep my death scenarios light hearted.

I spent all night playing this with my son, here's how I feel.
I spent $10 on a game I couldn't get before yesterday for less than $40. It is directly on my Wii U home screen, easy to launch, and a ton of fun! This is the first game I have played WITH my son. He loved having the second Wii remote and picking up all the star bits for me.

It's $10 right now, and even at $20 is a really good deal. Is it any different than the original? No. Is it still totally f--king rad and super f--king cool that it is on my Wii U? Yes it is.

All I have to do is not find out I have Stage 4 cancer and I will be set! Just have to live through this year.

WE CAN DO IT BODY!

(Also this means no flying, train trips, drinking too much, long car rides, riding on horseback, getting into knife fights, getting into pistol fights, trying to jump into the pool from the trampoline, agitating alligators, screaming at bears, flipping off men larger than myself, or putting mentos in 2L soda bottles.)

I think they made the right choice. The 3DS XL sold more units in the U.S.A. and was overall much more popular with consumers. If they did a small run of the smaller size unit they could be perceived as yet again not supplying enough stock. If the units sat on shelves, big stores would not purchase more stock until the unpopular units were sold off.

It's a business decision. They are making decisions to better their business.

So vote with your dollar. Don't like the New 3DS XL, then don't buy it.

Meanwhile, the rest of us can move on with getting down to some sweet sweet NN3DS action while you suckers mope!

I left work because I was "sick". Just got home and am enjoying the poop out of SMG2! Totally worth the scorn from coworkers.

How many different Mario amiibo's am I going to have to buy Nintendo?! Tell me now so I can put the money aside.

@polooza87
Wear bigger pants. I have no problem at all carrying around my 3DS XL and I wear skinny jeans. Are you a toddler by chance?

@Sir_JBizzle

You will still have to do a system transfer. When I upgraded from the standard 3DS to the XL I bought the XL first, went home and made the transfer, then went back and had the Gamestop I go to refund me the trade in amount. I worked this out with them in the store though, so I am not sure if this is a normal thing they do. It would be nice if stores had some sort of in-store kiosk where you can make the transfer right then and there.

This was hands down the best part of the ND. At first I thought it was for the Wii U, and that would have only made me happier.

@FeedingTheWheel

Well, with the original 3DS if you saved the contents of the SD card to your hard drive on a computer you could then copy that info to the new card and put it in, so I assume that would work here as well.

Searching like crazy for a Pre-Order on the MM3D bundle.
