R.I.P.

@G0dlike

I agree, and why send out an email yesterday saying at some point they will be back in stock.
Then when they are back in stock, don't send out an email saying they are available.

Or if they did, i didn't get an email today.

What a joke.
I had Shulk in my basket on GAME and was on the confirm order page then it was taken off my order.

(they must have found a Shulk behind a chair or something)
as i repeatedly went back on it and kept trying to add it to my basket again and iv actually got the order.

Anyone near Colchester essex. Smyths at tollgate have 2 little mac. 4 robin. And 1 squid splatoon amiibo bundle behind the counter.

I just got 1 little mac and 1 robin.

I know by the way most people have reacted in the last 24 hours i am in the minority.

But i liked the show, and it has some games i want and some i don't.

I much prefer having a Nintendo Direct every couple of months with surprises throughout the year instead of having one big event then its done.

I have such a backlog of games i am happy that some titles haven't been announced.

Super Mario Maker looks amazing, but i'm not that big a fan of creating my own levels in games, but i think this could be an exception. And i will have fun playing other peoples.

Iv got to get on with Fire Emblem Awakening, i got about half way through then just stopped playing. Such a great game though.

I want to see more info on Devils Third!

@RupeeClock I completely agree with you.

I just couldn't get into Banjo Tooie as much because it felt so HUGE and i hardly played it on the N64 due to that reason. But i did download both Banjo games on the xbox 360 to replay again about 2 years ago and i still haven't touched Banjo Tooie because i know how i felt playing it years ago.

I am really looking forward to Yooka-Laylee. Hope its closer to Kazooie and not Tooie.

Would like to buy his Banjo-Kazooie teddy lol.

I have backed it for £70. I really want all the physical items, its a shame you can't choose physical Wii U game.

I was really tempted by the N64 Box version, but you don't get a physical game with it (unless you add on another £35) so i can't justify nearly £300 more for a box, even though it would be a great collectable.

I booted up Mario Kart and the update hadn't happened automatically like usual.
Found out i didn't have enough memory free.
Now its downloading. Should be fun!

Anyone else have an e-mail from Nintendo cancelling amiibo from yesterday?

I had pre-ordered a Jigglypuff yesterday because Greninja was out of stock when i went on at 3pm.
Now Nintendo said they can't fulfill my order of 1 Jigglypuff.

So i e-mailed asking how can Nintendo not manage to stock Nintendo merchandise? And why wern't they actually put on at 3pm like the e-mail said.

I also said there should be some sort of loyalty scheme to purchase first.

Its ridiculous having Jigglypuff and Greninja on ebay for £80 EACH.

I wish with all this buying and selling on ebay for people that aren't obviously Nintendo fans or collectors would stop.

There should be something to do with your Club Nintendo account.
(i know it is on its way out) With who can buy them to begin with, abit like the Ambassador New 3DS, i know some people did sell there 3DS on ebay, but it wouldn't be as many as it seems to be now with all the amiibos.

Well this will be fun to do it all again tomorrow!

Like everyone is saying, why make the point of an e-mail specifying 3pm then do it early?

Annoying that the site was slow for me. Managed to get jigglypuff.

I have Greninja pre ordered with GAME but was hoping to save the £4 in price difference.

I have just completed this with 120 stars. Something i never did 19 years ago.

Now being 26 i really enjoyed going through the whole game to find everything.

I think it deserves the 10/10. Obviously it would be better with an HD version and updated controls but i doubt that would happen as they have already remade this on DS.

I am so happy playing through this now, i'm 26.
Like everyone else i remember playing this when i was 9 or 10, I used to think its such a massive game and feel overwhelmed.
Now i know most of it like the back of my hand i'm just enjoying the memories.
Now bring on more N64 games, Wave Race, 1080, would be a great follow up in the next few weeks!

Also people moaning about the black borders, the game looks great as that was the ratio, why would you want it stretched and distorted?

@unrandomsam

That is crazy.

@gcunit

I agree, the Monado plates look good on either colour 3DS.

But i have only just started the game on wii/wiiu in the last few weeks. I bought it years ago and never had time to play it. Only 10 hours in.

So i doubt i will be buying the Game/plate combo. Might buy the plates if released separately later.

@G0dlike

I went through my draw today and thought i havn't even undone my ambassador Smash cover plates. Then after i ripped the cardboard off i realized the barcode was 000.
Is that the only difference with the normal smash plates?

Its a shame that both cover plates seem to only suit the black 3DS.

I decided i wouldn't buy all the SMASH amiibo. As some of them i just didn't want even though they are rare. I couldn't get over Marths dodgy face and the leg cast of wii fit trainer.

But i was planning on getting all of the Super Mario set as there wouldn't be a character i wouldn't want.

Now iv got to be on the look out for peach to be back in stock.

I assumed US were getting them the same day as UK which is tomorrow.

3 of mine have turned up early.

Got 3 of my 5 i ordered.
Bowser and Rosalina are in the post still.
These 3 look great though.

@InnerSpirit
Tell me about it, i checked it on my phone before dinner, saw it was available. But wanted to order on my PC.

Just had dinner, then its gone. Didn't realize how quick it would be.

I am really happy with it. Like the cover plates a lot.

@Achoo i just tweeted them if you want to look?

@Achoo I would do glady, but how do i upload pics on here????

I am really happy with Nintendo. (i know not everyone that wanted an email got one)

I didn't know this version existed 11am 6th January.
Now under 24 hours later it was delivered and i have it. Didn't pay extra for delivery either.

Looks great. Going to use it and i want to be careful with the faceplates as they are one of a kind.

Mine got shipped at 2pm.

Says i should have it by friday. Im looking forward to testing out some games i never got round to finishing like Metal Gear Snake eater with the new c stick.

It is a shame. I have ordered one and going to keep it and use it.

Is it really worth the hassle for selling it for, say £50 more than retail?
Ebay take 10%, paypal then take 3.2 or something.

Might pocket £20 after the hassle.

@gspro15198

I have just ordered a 32gb micro sd card too. I have been using my free month of amazon prime, so it will be here tomorrow ready.

Just read the email and ordered one after thinking for 2 minutes.

I was originally confused with getting this version or the XL but my minds been made up for me.

Its a late Christmas present to myself.

Thanks NintendoLife!

Merry Christmas to everyone.

I would love to play this over Christmas.

Surely Europe will get it too!

@Rhinne

I hate buying from GAME too. They have it at £29.99 saying its got £5 off.

But Zavvi/Tesco have it at £28.

My girlfriend wanted to know what i wanted for Christmas. I said this but its out in January.

I have just ordered from GAME. If it doesn't ship before Christmas i will cancel as its a few quid cheaper everywhere else.

I think i will stick with the SNES version.

I havn't played this on GBA. But it is nice to have the choice to play this with levels i havn't seen before.

Same here, i ordered 3 amiibos 2 days ago, they have already shipped.

Would have been a bonus present for a nephew.

Might e-mail and see if they are generous.

I think i will be buying my 1st theme with the Pikmin versions.

Pre ordered special edition.

Gladly pay £45 with the extras, i collect steelbooks, will be nice to get my first 3DS steelbook.

That has to be the best Nintendo Direct.

Now i'm going to buy this!

Finally woke up abit and committed to some classic games on VC.

Still wish it was like this EVERY week, instead of nothing/waiting on good games.

Hurry with the N64 games!!!! I want to upgrade my Mario 64, Wave Race, 1080, and Majoras mask,

Happy Birthday Nintendo.
Loved playing the systems/games all my life since '88, have no idea how my mum and dad even got the NES to begin with.
Great memories!

@kamoetahbingo @ServioGuillon
Just scrolled up and you were the last 2 asking for a Europe Smash Bros Code.
I have 3 codes so try all of them incase others are used.

Enjoy.

I was hoping there would be a box set with all 12 for a discount. Say £100 for all 12.
Then when the next set of 12 is released, same again. Thats if they keep releasing in them amounts.

I know I'm in the same boat as a lot of people that have multiple models and versions,
I have a 3ds Aqua, XL Blue, XL Luigi, XL Zelda.
But i will be getting the New 3DS XL on launch day.

@ScorpionMG i got 135, i know what you mean with the hard CPU. There were quite afew races with alot of CPU players and i got blue shelled 5 secs from finish line.

@outburst
I knew EVENTUALLY earthbound would be on sale. Will download ASAP, never played it.

@Mooj738
Couldn't agree more. It just needed a new name to separate it enough. But its also the general public either that don't take 10 mins to research what the Wii U actually is. I love it as a console, i wish i had the off screen play the last 15+ years when i have been growing up.

@ogo79
i missed the end bit.
