@EaglyPurahfan I wish they'd figure out a way to make it happen, I hate the way their products are literally always a gamble over whether they'll sell out in seconds/minutes. I was absolutely shocked the My Nintendo Store had pre-order stock (for Pyra and Mythra) for as long as it did, iirc it was up for pre-order for around a full 24 hours before selling out.
I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but I got an email saying the Bayonetta 3 special edition was back in stock but by the time I went to check it was sold out again, unsure if it was a mistake or not but I really hope this means they'll restock the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 collectors edition since it currently sells for between 5x and 8x RRP on eBay!
@EaglyPurahfan given how long lead times are for manufacturing you'd probably be waiting at least a year if not two, especially with how NFC chip production was affected by the silicon shortage
OMG one of my grails is on that list! I do hope this is true because I absolutely refuse to pay scalpers for a GITD Boo amiibo. Here's hoping they'll do the other enemies and villains as well so I can complete my SMB line of amiibo too. Oh and yarn poochie would be nice but I think I'm asking for the sky there π
@Olliemar28 is there a reason we don't get these for Europe anymore? I've gone back a few weeks and can't see any so I'm curious where they've gone, are releases between the US and Europe so similar now that it's pointless to split the articles?
The release has come at a bad time for me financially so I'm having to ask for it for my birthday at the beginning of next month, hopefully it'll at least help keep the sales going a little longer
"A Nopon NPC, Miibomii, has appeared at Llyn Nyddwr Camp in the Fornis region. Meeting certain criteria while playing the game will also let you obtain the aforementioned Pyra and Mythra amiibo items from Miibomii." Which clearly means you won't need the amiibo
@smeggysmeg I cancelled my order with GAME since it's nearly a tenner more expensive than with the My Nintendo Store, very easy to do and the amiibo are still in stock on the MNS so there's no harm in switching over!
@ryancraddock still available today, thankfully they seem to have a decent amount of stock. Either that or I dramatically overestimated how popular they would be π
@Olliemar28 any sign of the UK charts for this week? I figured the Japanese ones have been away due to their golden week holidays but can't think why the UK ones haven't shown up this week π€
What the hell does YA stand for? I'm racking my brain and coming up empty, he's used this acronym twice as well so he obviously thinks people know but I haven't got a clue π€·πΌββοΈ
@Arawn93 I don't think we can say that about the UK market anymore you know, Nintendo certainly haven't reached PlayStation status but they're not playing second fiddle to Sega anymore
Do people not know that Xenoblade and Persona share a composer? I'm not sure if he came back for more recent games but lot of the music from X was composed by the guy who did the famous tracks from Persona, I forget his name though π
@ZealMajin I'm hoping the My Nintendo Store will do a 'register your interest' type thing (so scalpers will be kept at bay) since no doubt they'll be cheaper than the price GAME currently has them listed for plus the ridiculous Β£5 for p&p, but I've placed a pre-order with them just in case. These are just too important to me to miss
@StefanN I get you, it didn't bother me too much I can appreciate that it bothered some people. Can't remember ever having to backtrack too much apart from that one quest π
@StefanN no it's another game, I think they were in development around the same time Blasphemous released so they got a fair amount of flack for looking like a copycat... but it's vapourware at this point, I think it was originally supposed to come out in 2019 maybe?
@Nanami_Ataraxia I was super excited for it the first time it appeared in an indie direct claiming to release in 2019, 4 years later (and seemingly several changes in genre) however...
I'm surprised Mineko's Night Market was given the opening spot considering how many times it's been in an indies direct and then just disappeared without trace, let's hope it manages to stick the landing this year finally
I loved the original but I'm unsure how I feel about the sequel, it seems... different somehow? Like it lost some of the charm of the original perhaps π€
@BenAV I get you. I will say though, this game sucks you in. I really never thought I was into games like this but it's just so brilliant I couldn't put it down until I finished it, and it's not overly long either. Well worth giving it a go if you think you'll enjoy it.

@beazlen1 Wonder is not a "new" Super Mario Bros. title, they've dropped the "new" part.

@Classic603 it's a fairly common spelling mistake, lightening means to make something lighter. Lightning is the correct spelling.
Re: Japanese Charts: Atelier Marie Remake Debuts Strong, But It's Not Enough To Trouble Zelda
@arabiansanchez it's just the way they do it in the Japanese charts, strangely they combine the two versions of PokΓ©mon so it's completely the opposite to how we measure the charts here

Re: Rift Of The NecroDancer Confirmed To Rock And Roll On Switch This Year
I'm not very good at rhythm games but the Zelda one was so good I think I'll have to give this one a go!
Re: Blasphemous II Slashes Its Way Onto Switch This Summer
@BenAV it's an excellent game but if you lack the patience to try punishingly difficult boss battles over and over again then it may not be for you
