Where's the Yoshi Backpack? Come to North America.

Sold! I am getting the bundle deal for sure. Goodbye money.

The initial footage got me excited after seeing a squid. I was yelling for Super Sunshine 2!

Finally! I have a feeling this will come out this coming holiday season.

This will be epic! Epic Yarn, opps, wrong game. Welcome to Wally's World, este Woolly World!

A Mii Bo! My wallet will be sad this coming holiday season.

Yes, focus on the GP and any other peripherals you can connect to it to extend gameplay, it already has the 'special' connector on the bottom.

No brainer! My personal favorite is MK8!

Please come to North America.

The game that plays by itself. The astroturfing on Miiverse is not cool.

@PS4 Posted from another site:
"Mario Kart 8 trailer airing before Godzilla
Looks like Nintendo is showcasing Mario Kart 8 prior to Godzilla in various movie theaters. If you happen to get to the theater early and catch the commercials prior to trailers, you might just see a Mario Kart 8 spot! Keep in mind, these spots may only be shown at certain theater chains."

Operative words, "select and certain theater chains".

"Can confirm it played before X-Men (an AMC Veterans). Amazing Spider Man 2 also (a cheaper local theater under the Touchstar cinemas branding). Looks wonderful in that big theater resolution. I was very happy to see actual ADVERTISING too."

We are getting 2DS Sea Green? http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/buy#twoDS-seagreen

Japan got Tomodachi Collection: New Life-branded 3DS XL/LL Bundle and a separate new 3DS XL/LL color “Mint × White". Both can be seen here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2013/130312.html

Dear Nintendo, please make these two 3DS XL available to the rest of the world. After all, Ninty and Minty rhymes together.

Stop the GameStop hate! Sponsorship between GameStop and Nintendo made this possible! We've been asking for more marketing and advertising efforts, now the Wii U and MK8 brand is out there for NASCAR fans to see. Here's hoping Matt Kenseth leads the most laps and goes on to win, so there's longer exposure.

Nintendo is going all in in their marketing efforts. I've seen multiple TV commercials on MK8. They are also showing commercials in select movie theaters (in Godzilla movie). That's on top of the publication prints on various magazines, posters, standees, at Target, BestBuy, GameStop and Walmart.

In the end, most of us wants the Wii U to succeed and hating on GameStop will not help that cause since they play a major role in the game industry.

My second copy is sold to @supersonicmudds and will keep the first copy for my own enjoyment. Thanks Nintendo.

@supersonicmudds email me at babyguess [at] gmail [dot] com

FYI, when you check your email, look for the following subject "Early access code for select Platinum members".

BTW, I got two special demo codes! If anyone is interested on my second code, please let me know and I will sell it at the going rate here. PayPal only so both parties are protected.

Yes, there are no new physical items added. However, they restock the ACNL Poster Set, 3DS Pouch Mario Edition, and Yoshi's New Island T-Shirt.

Hopefully, they will soon add Mario Kart related swag like T-Shirt or Figurine (to make up for the lacklaster pre-order bonus).

Pumped! I'm ready to burn tires. May 30th can't come soon enough.

This will go well with my New Super Mario Bros. U Steelbook case.

You can order one from Amazon U.S. for $20.

The title is misleading, "Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition Software Bundle Coming To North America"?

Correction: Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition Software Bundle Coming To Nintendo World Store!

High-tech Yoshi Figurine = Check!

"Iwata also said Nintendo will release high-tech figurines of some of its most popular characters in time for Christmas this year. The company hopes the models, which will be able to send and receive data from games, will also stimulate software sales."

It's about time! Kinda late in the game Ninty, better late than never I suppose. Figurines, gotta collect them all.

Translated:

Dear Nintendo,

Please offer a Mario Kart 8 Bundle with a bright red console!

Sincerely,
Loyal Nintendo Customer

White and Gold design plus the two words "Limited Edition". Pre-Ordered!

Nintendo 3DS XL Mickey Limited Edition Handheld
For those interested, you can pre-order here.

Whoa! Virtual Mii este Virtual U, Opps rather, Virtual Fools U

Nintendo has shared a photo of the Mickey Edition 3DS XL on Twitter:

I'm broke but another must buy for the collection. Charge it!

Nice, thanks for the heads up! Another 2DS variation going into my collection.

Kind a weird and freaky. Next Pit Stop, American Idol. Nice swags, sporting his Club Nintendo shirt and hat.

@Dark-Link73 Correct! The misprint posters have a better value now, just like a misprint on real currency or coins.

Come to North America.

Awesome! May 30th can't come soon enough.

I'm hungry. I want a Super Size Happy Meal please? I'm loving it.

This is good news for the used gaming industry. Walmart entering the market will hopefully drive the price down on used games.

I only buy new games from either Amazon, Best Buy, ToysRUs, Target or GameStop (never at Walmart). I have no loyalty, whichever retail store gives me the best deal that's the company that gets my business.

Although, I keep a very good relationship with my local GameStop store since I get all my posters, standees, even free old DS games (outdated) freebies from them.

Please come to North America! My body is ready for these pre-order bonuses. Bullet Bill shirt or Rosalina playing cards would be awesome.

If only they put this much effort into the actual game. Sheesh. Well atleast I got a couple of Yoshi 3DS XL systems. By the way, if you plan on getting the new Yoshi 3DS XL and Yoshi's New Island game, Target in U.S. has a promo starting tomorrow where you buy both and you get a $30 Target gift card.

Eggcellent write up! Best guide ever.

Month of Yoshi? More like bring on Year of Yoshi!

OT: Super Mario Accessory Box is back! I recommend this item to those who haven't gotten one from last summer (very durable and well made).

More Year of Yoshi hints!

If you live in Canada you can get a better deal on a brand new deluxe system. You just have to check weekly when it goes back on sale at Chapters.
I got the "The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Deluxe Console Set Wii U" for $201 CDN plus tax.

Step 1: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/ <--- it went on sale multiple times priced at $210
Step 2: Call your local Chapters make sure it's in-stock.
Step 3. Go to your local Best Buy or FutureShop and price match plus 10% of the difference. Give them the Chapters phone number to verify price and availability and ka-ching for $201!

I bet we (NA) gets nada as in nothing. C'mon Nintendo give us something, anything like a chain chomp or bullet bill shirt will do.

@wolfy40oz It appeared this afternoon but it was listed on Currently Unavailable right away. I also noticed earlier that the Kirby Patch Set had 50% discount on it (good 'til 10/31 with 20th anniversary and now back to normal. I check almost every hour. I am hoping the 3DS XL Cradle comes back.

@Falkor If I'm not mistaken, 900 coins.

I am so glad they brought them back. I ordered a couple of them yesterday. Now, if only if they brought back the Gold Nunchuk (one can wish).

Not visually appealing to me. I am hoping the game play will more than make up for it.

A bright red Wii U MK8 bundle limited edition of this will certainly move boxes. My local GameStop already has an overhead poster up (it looks so beautiful). I am so pump up and looking forward playing this game. Played this game last year at BestBuy E3 / Nintendo demo.

The Toad Harbor is very much appealing to me, since I grew up in the Yay Area.

I personally like simple design so this works for me.

I already pre-ordered mine the day after the last Nintendo Direct. Even though it was not announced in North America, GameStop actually had this system available for pre-order and was described as "Available SKU". As of this morning, GameStop no longer takes pre-order on this system. It appears this will have a very limited print (similar to Pikachu XL LE).
