Decisions. I already knew that my next 3DS would be an XL, and then they announced the New 3DS. Now I can't decide which one to get. I'm going to have to see them first.
@TimLatshaw I suppose. Personally, the word choice could've been better, because it seemed like you went out of your way to detail the differences between versions and it seemed like an odd omission, but I'm just nitpicking at this point.
"For completionists, a results screen can be pulled up with a tap of the Select button to see which levels have had all their 5 special Dragon Coins collected; not that finding them all does anything all that special but, you know… completionism!"
Actually, doesn't collecting all the Dragon Coins turn them into Peach Coins? Sure, it's a palette swap, but it's like you're implying that collecting the Dragon Coins does absolutely nothing when that's not the case.
Oh, perhaps I shouldn't have said that, otherwise it'll get people's hopes up. But, I'll explain regardless.
I work at Walmart, and if you work anytime from Thanksgiving morning into Friday morning, they'll give you 25% off an entire transaction. And I work Thanksgiving morning, so I get the discount. I think you can connect the dots from there. Sorry about that, but that's how I'll be getting eShop cards for 25% off, among other things.
Or I can wait and take advantage of a straight 25% discount at Walmart for working Thanksgiving morning, which is a better deal overall. (Equivalent to buy one, get one 50% off, if you do the math)
To be honest, one of the bingest mistakes Nintendo has made is by making an amiibo for every Smash Bros. character. They should've started small, with only a handful of amiibo that are guaranteed to work across several games.
I wonder what's in store on Black Friday, because we still don't know Walmart's, Target's, and Best Buy's Black Friday ad yet, among others. Ooh, the anticipation is quickly rising!
@Thats-what-shy Like I've told somebody else, the ad they show here isn't Target's Black Friday ad. I know that Target is a big player, but their ad hasn't been leaked yet.

Xenoblade Chronicles! Make it happen, Nintendo!
Re: Wii Disc Software Heading to the Wii U eShop
I fully expect SMG2 to be available on the NA eShop at 9 AM Pacific, about an hour from now.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Release Date Confirmed for 13th February
@ryan3ds It does not include the game, in the US.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Release Date Confirmed for 13th February
The Majora's Mask New 3DS XL is $199.99 MSRP in the US, and does NOT have the game bundled.

Re: Rumour: Red New Nintendo 3DS XL With 13th February Launch Appears in Marketing Poster
@k8sMum You're right, but GameStop writes their dates like that on their posters.
Re: Rumour: Red New Nintendo 3DS XL and 13th February Marketing Poster Surfaces
The poster looks legit, in my opinion.
I can understand the XL being the primary focus once again, as the same thing happened with the original.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Starting Grid T-Shirt Accelerates Onto Club Nintendo
@russellohh Coins do not equal Stars. Europeans and Australians get more stars than we get coins for registering games, but their stuff costs more.
Re: Weirdness: Legless Peach amiibo Bidding Closes at $25,100
Let me go grab a Peach amiibo and rip the legs off, and then reseal the box. Profit!
Re: Nintendo Appeal Takes Tomita Technologies 3DS Patent Case Back to Court
@Artwark Uhhh...no. That's not how it works.
Re: Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda on Wii U Steals The Show and Raises Expectations
2015 looks so amazing!
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Wii U Footage and Details for The Legend of Zelda, Still Set for 2015
@Lizuka Yes, because putting Epona in the game and having an extremely large overworld is taking cues from Skyward Sword. -sarcasm-
Do you think that just by having the sailcloth from Skyward Sword means that this game is a carbon copy of SS?
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses - Master Quest World Tour Confirmed
Gee...I wonder why there's a four month gap between the Austin and Houston performances....
Perhaps this is a good sign for a certain game that's supposed to release next year?

Re: Guide: The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals in the US
Meanwhile, I'll be picking up some eShop cards for 25% off later on.
Re: Guide: The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals in the US
@abbyhitter Walmart will not match gift card offers, unfortunately.
Re: Guide: The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals in the US
Walmart will have Mario Kart 8 for $35, but I guarantee that will sell out quick. Ad match at Target if you have to

Re: Review: Super Mario Advance (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
@unrandomsam I'd you're talking about the side of the screen in SMB3, that was there in the original, so it's not a bug in the emulator.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Claims Second in NPD Charts
@Undead_terror Granted, it is five platforms against one....
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Pre-Purchase and Pre-Load Now Available on the eShop
@Dipper723 Please get your facts straight. Your games are tied to an account, which is not tied to hardware.
Re: Feature: These Are The Mario Kart 8 DLC Packs We Want To See
Good Egg Galaxy is quite possibly the best idea in this whole list. Give that man a job at Nintendo!
Re: Talking Point: The amiibo Range Grows, Yet Key Questions Remain
@Turbo857 Smash Bros. shouldn't have been the first implementation of amiibo. It's poor timing, unfortunately.

Re: Target and Best Buy Nintendo Deals Live Now, Kohl's Black Friday 3DS XL Bundle at $149.99
Typical, this usually happens every year.
I wonder what's in store on Black Friday, because we still don't know Walmart's, Target's, and Best Buy's Black Friday ad yet, among others. Ooh, the anticipation is quickly rising!
EDIT: Target's ad was just leaked!
Re: Nintendo Teams Up With Loot Crate To Deliver amiibo Subscription Service
@bouncer0304 In my case, if it's $28, then I'll definitely buy one. That's only a little more expensive than two amiibo individually!
But, I'm pretty sure that they will have a different price that they will announce later.
Re: Nintendo Teams Up With Loot Crate To Deliver amiibo Subscription Service
It all comes down to price.
Re: Preview: Power Sliding Around The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8 DLC
Preordered the day it was announced. Thursday can't come quick enough!

Master Quest.
Re: "The Sky Is The Limit" For amiibo, As Nintendo Considers Future Third-Party And Indie Support
@Mega719 By default, there would be a Sonic amiibo because he's in Smash, but I understand your point.
Re: Nintendo Black Friday Deals Reveal New 3DS and 2DS Hardware Options
@Thats-what-shy Look at Smash for Wii U. It says available Friday. It comes out on the 21st. Black Friday is the 28th.
Re: Nintendo Black Friday Deals Reveal New 3DS and 2DS Hardware Options
@Thats-what-shy It's obvious that the ad they list is for the week before. Look at the ad and dates.
Re: Nintendo Black Friday Deals Reveal New 3DS and 2DS Hardware Options
@Thats-what-shy Like I've told somebody else, the ad they show here isn't Target's Black Friday ad. I know that Target is a big player, but their ad hasn't been leaked yet.
Re: Nintendo Black Friday Deals Reveal New 3DS and 2DS Hardware Options
@gatorboi352 But the ad shown isn't a Black Friday ad. It's for the week before.
Target's Black Friday ad is still safe. For now.
Re: Nintendo Black Friday Deals Reveal New 3DS and 2DS Hardware Options
The best is yet to come. Wait until the big stores have their ads leak, and then we'll talk.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Software Update Will Unlock amiibo Functionality With Themed Mii Racing Suits
Nintendo took the page down.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot.
Re: Collectors Be Warned, Some amiibo Figures Will Be "Limited-Time" Offers
Aw, crap. I'm going to have to take some good guesses at which ones are limited. I'm guessing Marth is one of them.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)

Re: Super Smash Bros. 3-Poster Set Now Available from Club Nintendo in North America
Already picked up the posters. It's nice to see a new item for the first time in....how long?
Re: Video: Try Not To Overheat As You Watch Excitebike Arena Footage From Mario Kart 8's DLC
I love how everyone is using a bike. Nice touch, Nintendo.

Re: Crazy EarthBound Fans Open EarthBound-themed Media Kickstarter
@Xiao_Pai So? It doesn't matter if Nintendo doesn't like it; this falls under Fair Use.
There's nothing Nintendo can do about it.
Re: Crazy EarthBound Fans Open EarthBound-themed Media Kickstarter
My god, there are now three people who went for the highest tier.
Re: Crazy EarthBound Fans Open EarthBound-themed Media Kickstarter
It's already past $60,000.
Re: Crazy EarthBound Fans Open EarthBound-themed Media Kickstarter
@andrew20 It's not a game.
Re: Crazy EarthBound Fans Open EarthBound-themed Media Kickstarter
@Xiao_Pai Why's that? It will be certainly be funded, and there aren't any legal issues with it....
