I've already played the Syberia game series on the PC, so i have no interest in this at all.
I get the feeling that 3rd party developers see the Nintendo Switch as an easy way of porting their old games to the system for a quick buck, and a hefty one at that.
This guy has managed to sell 28 of them, what a joke.
Either he is a scammer though, or not too bright as they have sold for around the purchase price, and what with Ebay and Paypal fee's , he will be selling at a loss.
The way Nintendo have handled things lately, a little yeah lol.
Seriously though, common sense is that you would limit the limited edition bundles to 1 per person as they are going to be hugely popular as they are 'limited' lol.
I'm hoping someone at the Hut Group has the sense to cancel orders with 2+ limited edition bundles.
I love this series, but Europe not having a physical copy means i'll be picking this game up in a sale. I refuse to pay full price for a digital only game.
I'm looking forward to Stella Glow, but i'm currently in the middle of playing Bravely Second. Then we have Yokai Watch coming out the end of April, then Fire Emblem Fates the 20th of May.
I wish i had the time to play them all, but i find myself with a backlog of games from over 5 years ago.
Then if that's the case, surely we as consumers should be given the option to be able to replay the game for multiple endings if we want to.
I'll admit that i'm a diehard Nintendo Fanboy, hence the username lol. But the way Nintendo published games have been going lately in terms of localization and censorship over here in the West, i'm really considering only buying second hand, or just boycotting them altogether.
I hate paying full price for a game knowing that we have an inferior version of it, to that of another country.
Although i don't agree with it, i can see why there are so many people out there who have hacked 3DS's so they can play import games, which can then be patched with US/EU language.
If this is true about the bad ending being cut from the game, then this is just plain wrong, and a big middle finger to Western fans of the series.
I can understand certain costumes being cut or altered, character age's being changed, for people who might be offended because of sexual reference's. But to cut out additional ending's, therefore changing the outcome of a story, is crossing the line in my opinion.
This to me is not localisation, but Censorship, and people have a right to express their opinion, because to me the Western World in general has become too PC.
We now have two JRPG games which have been butchered over here in the West, ie Fire Emblem Fates, and now Bravely Second.
I think people consider you strange just stepping outside with your 3ds nowadays, i can just imagine what they'll think if you were to play this outdoors lol.
@Grumblevolcano Could be, but it's more likely their taking too many orders than they will have stock allocated for, it's happened numerous times before with them.
@JellySplat I would gladly trade either Robin or Lucina for a Gold Mario if my pre-orders come through and you don't mind EU packaging.
The latest wave of pre-orders are still available at Game.
I'm getting slightly worried that Game may have overestimated how many of these figures they are actually going to receive from Nintendo. I think there's going to be alot of people with cancelled orders, near to the release date.
@Alundra -1998 I'm pretty sure that were still on Wave 4 in UK (EU) as some of the waves were split up.
Wave 4 comprises of Charizard, Wario, Pacman, Robin, Lucina, and Ness, which come out at the end of April, and Wave 5 are the current figures up for pre-order.
Game have also confirmed via Twitter that all orders using forwarding UK addresses via forwarding sites will be also be manually cancelled.
Just remember guys that if you manage to pre-order them off of Nintendo UK then you can always cancel your other pre-orders with other online retailers.
@Alundra-1998 Seeing as how the distribution of our waves differ to that of the US, i guess Nintendo must have been on to game retailers to stop them from shipping outside the UK to stop other countries, mainly the US, from receiving the figures early.
Considering the pre-orders were put up at 1am this morning and are still available to pre-order, this is definately down to Game not shipping them outside of the UK.
Although i'm sorry for the fans in the US not being able to grab some of these figures due to store exclusives, i'm pleased for the UK fans as it gives them a chance to obtain these figures.
It just goes to show how popular amiibo is when items can be sold out within half an hour of appearing online.
Nintendo really need to get their act together and work with other manufacturing companies to produce more of these figures.
Unless your off work, near a computer/phone app, the minute these items go up for pre-order you have virtually zero chance of getting them for the rrp price.
I've got an order in for all wave 3 and 4 of the amiibo's, after recently buying all of wave 1 and 2 from them as well. It would be nice if they could add them on to existing orders, ie pre-orders which haven't been sent out yet.
I had a game and adapter bundle on order with Argos for dispatch on the 5/12/14, but they rang a few days later saying they had no stock available. They said they weren't expecting anymore stock in till February next year, and even then it would be limited.
I think they should do a price drop as well as heavily market the Wii U with tv and campaign ads in the run up to Christmas. They need to get across to consumers the unique and different features it has to that of the PS4 and Xbox One, and to show of it's quality line up of games exclusive to the Wii U.

Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
I'm still angry with this whole pre-order screw up.
I see these things are selling upto £180.00 on Ebay at the minute.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
@Marshi
I agree, and it's always the true fans that miss out.
By making very few limited edition bundles, thus creating hype, this only encourages the scalpers.
If your going to make very few copies, then at least limit it to 1 per person.
At least this way, more people get to buy the game for enjoyment, ie play, rather than stick it straight on Ebay to fleece other people.
This only hurts their reputation in the long run.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
Absolute farce lol.
The limited edition bundles should have been limited to 1 per person.
After the US fiasco involving the FE: SE, you would think Nintendo Europe would of thought of this.
I hope the disgruntled fans take to twitter, facebook, etc to express their anger.

Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
@Grumblevolcano
What moron thought that was a good idea?
Surely they know that scalpers will buy multiple copies to put up on Ebay.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
Were the limited edition bundles limited to 1 per person or not?, as i see people have listed them on Ebay with 2+ items.

@InnerSpirit I think once all the waves have been released then Nintendo will release some of the rarer amiibo figures abeit in scarce numbers.
