@FragRed Project Zero I ordered on the Nintendo store.

I stopped using GAME for preorders a long time ago (unless in store) as they quite often mucked up. Days after release, cancelling, lorries going missing etc.

@ChristopherM I did the same, there's also a lot that expired in March on that list too.
@manu0 They're metal and I'm pretty sure they're gold plated. I've had them for a few years so can't remember what descriptions said originally and checking out they're pretty heavy.

@manu0 I have five coins from club Nintendo, all are plated not plastic. I assume this will be the same.

The Mario 25th coin was 150 stars. Absolute bargain. The RPG coins were free. Shame this wasn't cheap.

That will be the last, everything lse they said that would be on is on.

The latest MK trophies are made differently to the older ones. Much lighter.

What a glorious advert. Perfect nostalgia trip.

@Larrykoopa18 we could through other shops, just not the Nintendo one directly.

I love that these are still in stock 2.5 hours later.

Either people are buying less or stock has increased more.

@PeterW77 It's the fact the triple pack has never officially been announced for Europe, so if it was European packaging it's rare.

@PeterW77 is the packaging European or Australian?

@RainbowGazelle I've been shopping there since they were a market stall, they haven't ever done previously. I'll check the box in store and update.

@RainbowGazelle This was in a shop though, one that doesn't do imports.

@Humphries90 yeah I've seen it there as well. Going to ask to see the box in case it's an import.

@Sanicranfast I've seen the triple pack a few times in Grainger games, going to check next time I'm in to see if it's a EUR one or not.

I very much doubt that was the first thing he did wrong.

I have all aside from the leaf trophy with 4500. May go out and buy two games with 250 points to tip me over.

Great stuff, same release date as the modern Mario 8-bit Amiibo.

@andyg1971 I read somewhere else that:

People are eligible to receive a Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary pin upon production of an original receipt or other proof of purchase for any official Mario-related Nintendo product (video game, game system or item of merchandise) purchased between 12th August and 13th September 2015. One pin per receipt, while stocks last.

Is it true about the Mario pin that you'll have to have bought a piece of Mario merchandise the month before?

No Luigi?

Sweet then it seems NA can catch up with Europe before our release of 6 on the 25th September.

I actually managed to get Robin from eBay for £14. Cheaper than Game and cheaper than the alternative of buying the Steam combo from Nintendo (£45 there, £25 for STEAM other places and £14 for Robin is a £6 saving).

Still Shulk and Lucina to go.

You can get Code name S.T.E.A.M at Grainger Games for £24.99. They're (Nintendo) charging £20 for the Amiibo themselves essentially. No wonder the individual ones are sold out.

@Pj1 yup, pretty quick at arriving too. It's where I got mine from.

Why can't Metroid crawl?

@RupeeClock I remember the Mario 25th coin being pretty cheap at 750 stars.

I only have 3500 which won't be enough for the leaf trophy. They have had some good things through the years like the special pokemon DS or the Link and Epona statue.

Could do with 1-3 and 7 so I can legally play them.

It's bad that I'm worried I'm out and about when Wooly World Amiibo's are released. The reason is I know how quick the preorders seem to be going.

UK price is £13.49 with October being the first pack release (though Dark Link is available now)

People always say the warp whistle/OOT one but it's actually from the original Zelda game (whirlwind included).

It annoys me as I've not legally been able to play this game in Europe. I love DQ games and sadly VII isn't available for us.

Some good news for once.

It's kinda depressing that most Nintendo news now is about games NOT coming to the console

I got it on Wii Virtual console, love the game.

Could be worse, they could try to cover up the death of 96 people by blaming it on the people themselves.

I hope The Resistance join in.

@Hero-of-WiiU I was mainly on about the Amiibo comment.

I wish gaming companies would stop saying things that aren't innovative are innovative.

TEARS OF JOY!!!

Great roundtable, laughed a lot. Very hyped for the game.

I did enjoy the traipsing about one. Even read the terms and conditions of the site. I missed the obvious clue!

I even checked last years April fools page!

Well that was laborious. Least you should have some increased ad revenue with all the pages I was checking.

"Talking Point: What We Expect In Nintendo Direct - 13th February" - Disappointment.

Something like NES remix would be great for smartphones.

@unrandomsam I didn't realise that, thanks.

I want this, I also want the DQVII remake in Europe. That would leave just the first three without a release here.

That was...horrendous.

@Damo You're tempting me. Shining Force II is one of my favourite games ever made.
