Currently showing as "coming soon"...
Sure. I'll believe it when I see it. The pattern on that site is to directly go from "coming soon" to "out of stock".
The only thing ever available are their t-shirts and posters.
April Fools... all year long!
Shameless how Nintendo has the gall to charge for those Home Themes, and to make things worse, they cost as much as quite a few actual eshop games!
Have they no shame???
Am I the only one bothered by this? I feel like I'm the only one bothered by this.
I couldn't get past 30 minutes of Oceanhorn. The wonky touch-screen controls and dull/sluggish animation were a huge turn-off. It's no Zelda. Not even close.
@CAM290 It just seems as if Nintendo is actively ignoring this low-hanging fruit (as they tend to do). They could even update the games with an alternate color palette option, like THIS!!!
With luck and a little justice, ebay scalpers had their multiple orders cancelled by Walmart and now have no means of fullfilling their auction orders other than paying full-scalper price to make-up for their greed and shortsightedness.
Also, Nintendo, how about fixing your production supply issues, already, so that this ridiculous cycle becomes a thing of the past????
@bjwhit08 OMG!!! That's EXACTLY what happened to me!!!! I cannot begin to tell you how furious I am over this. The PC method is garbage and unreliable. Should have just done a wireless transfer but OH WELL too late for that!! My photos, videos, street pass, games, (US) ambassador info, save data, etc, etc, etc... ALL GONE!! I HAVE HAD IT, NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh... Walmart. Great choice, Nintendo. You've assured no one will be able to find one of these things outside of eBay. ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THE EXCLUSIVES!
Unless you have this pre-ordered, you are not going to find Meta Knight. No way. No how. Guaranteed. Sorry. I REALLY wish that wasn't the truth but Nintendo's refusal to manufacture more product has forced an after-market state with these ridiculous things.
@JaxonH well, I must be using a different internet than everyone else because I spent the better part of yesterday on eBay and never saw Rosalina/Rosetta going for less than $38 (US).
@JaxonH Good luck finding any of the exclusives for under $30 at this time (imports or otherwise).
I really hope Nintendo steps-up and takes care of this scalper nonsense by releasing an abundance of stock.
They certainly have the power to do so.
@GaymerPlayer5 Thanks for the awesome GameStop tip! I called them as soon as I read your comment, provided my info (they said my pre-order would last until closing tonight), drove right over and paid in-full. While I was there, I found out they had already run-out of pre-orders and that mine was nearly the last one!! Phew....
Hate to agree but, yeah, the late Western-release, plus the XL-only bombshell hasn't earned a whole lot of goodwill from U.S. consumers. Hopefully, Nintendo's marketing will, one day, catchup with its products.

Re: Game Jam Tasks Developers With Creating A Zelda Title Starring A Female Link
I'm not sure I see the point of this exercise, since Link, arguably, looks like a girl anyway.
Re: Zelda Lookalike Oceanhorn: Monster Of Uncharted Seas Could Be Sailing To Consoles
I couldn't get past 30 minutes of Oceanhorn. The wonky touch-screen controls and dull/sluggish animation were a huge turn-off.
It's no Zelda. Not even close.

Re: Punching Robots (In 3D!) With The Virtual Boy's Teleroboxer
@sinalefa I can't seem to recall the specific function of the second D-pad, but the New 3DS has that C-stick, which should suffice.

Troll-on, Nintendo.
Re: New amiibo Stock for Villager, Captain Falcon and Little Mac Heading to Japan in May
Oh, good. More Amiibo for a region that doesn't care about Amiibo. Perfect.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Plotting amiibo Super Mario Collection Meltdown With Gold and Silver Editions
It seems Nintendo won't be satisfied until someone gets seriously hurt (or worse) over an Amiibo.
Re: Rose Colored Gaming is Working on a New Line of Portables With Diverse Emulation Options
Great. More stuff from these guys that no one can buy.
Nothings ever available on that site.

This was a day-1 for me. No sale needed! Such a great game!! Happy to support the developer.
Re: Best Buy Is Cancelling Majora's Mask New 3DS XL Pre-Order Duplicates
I approve this practice and wish other retailers would adopt this method as well, and apply it to other heavily-scalped items, like: Amiibo.
Re: Talking Point: Club Nintendo's Closure Is An Exciting Opportunity To Modernise Fan Rewards

It's like dial-up days on Club NoA.
