Damn nintendo announcing new models after the news of the new 3ds :hammer:

[Twisted]

I hate that their both gamestop exclusives..i always have to deal with employees there who act like pricks, when I request "mint" boxes...they just give me the "take it or leave it" attitude..even though additional units are sitting right behind them or in the backroom.

you cant let a gamestop employee get the upper hand, they're peasants. put them in their place so they know every time you come in that you don't mess around.

While that sounds a bit harsh, it's mostly true - if there's an employee at the register who is giving you a hard time, buy a piece of candy or one of those $1 things around the counter and then burn him/her on the survey, explaining in detail what happened - if they still have a job the DM will at least give him a stern talking to and possibly personally give you a call too. (Just don't sound like a punk in your survey)

Haha that's awesome, never thought of doing that. I hope a gamestop employee gives me crap soon LOL.

[eternix]

If I get one of these which one do y'all believe would have greater value? I think the NES version would.

[g6t9ed]

If I get one of these which one do y'all believe would have greater value? I think the NES version would.

I would have to agree with you for two reasons.

1) You have a wider audience with the NES model as everyone knows what one of those looks like.

2) The box itself is designed like the system with the 3DS XL like the controller. That is, in a way, an added incentive for completionists of collectors who like CIB.

[singer07]

No sticker seals on 3ds boxes means no one knows if they're actually new means not worth anything extra

[eternix]

Well, I took my bros opinions and pre-ordered the Persona Q 3ds XL. They said it looked cool and it really appealed to them more than the NES version. This will be my last 3ds though until the "new" 3ds or as me and my bros call it the "4ds" come out.

Those are old 3DS not the new 3DS

Here is an unboxing video of the JP version of the Persona Q 3ds XL. It's the same besides the fact theirs came with a physical copy of the game and ours does not at all. T-T

[Twisted]

yea, i actually have 2 of those Japan versions of Persona Q 3DS LL...there still in the box, i can't believe this identical one will come now stateside..i want to get rid of my Japan ones now,..i wish at least for the US they would have done a variant color, or maybe mix up the design a bit...a purple 3DS XL would have looked awesome for this!

Nintendo Australia has announced today that the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL will launch on November 21, 2014 in Australia and New Zealand. This will follow the October 11 launch of the systems in Japan.

[KnightOfTruth]

Nice, I wonder if its still 2015 for NA? I won't get one until they release the obvious Zelda themed one in a few months. They have for the last few iterations of their hardware so I'm sure it's coming.

[eternix]

I agree, it would be nice if they remastered the Majoras Mask and made a new 3ds XL for it. My heart would cry. T-T

[KnightOfTruth]

Yeah, they very well might. I'm sure if/when they do, whatever system they release it for will have a special edition. They'd be fools not to with how popular that game is.

[xhunter]

I would buy that even after buying the NES themed 3DS XL. That would be amazing.

I just picked up the retro NES edition 3DS XL gamestop exclusive,..the employee there was super cool about allowing me to look for the best box without any dings/dents etc. since I am OCD about collecting, he even brought out a brand new fresh "case" and opened it up for me, and asked me to take whichever one you want,..when I first walked in, they had a few out behind the counter and all of them had those oversized price stickers on the box all lopsided and grimey..and I was horrified, thinking there all gonna have those stickers on them...before I ran into this guy, gamestop would be really annoyed when I asked to look at another mintier box...or wouldn't check in the back,..saying things like "why? whats wrong with this one?"...even thought it would have a giant price sticker on it, and a dinged corner, I mean, these things are important I would think to most collectors..to get the best package possible,?

I didn't think to ask if they had any without stickers when I picked mine up. Luckily, I got a box that is in mint condition and the sticker was really easy to get off.

[King Peter]

so is the NES edition 3DS really worth the money?

[Twisted]

i believe it is King Peter, it is a true one store exclusive, and it has nice retro touches on the package,..even a little 8-bit mario on the inside flap on the box when you open it, and those colored red buttons on the inside, which is rare to see in a 3DS, colored buttons that is,...also, it will be a limited run, because the factorys are probably ramping up the new redesigns,..so i think it's one run and done, when it comes to this model.

It ain't a one store exclusive, I've seen it in Future Shop, Best Buy, Wallmart around my area and they were plenty of copy available

The Persona one will be one store exclusive at my Eb Games store

Maybe I'll go buy it tomorrow :P

[Twisted]

Really King Peter!!!???..the retro nes edition is widely available in Canada?..i think it's very misleading for Nintendo/Gamestop to claim it's North America exclusive and exclusive to GAMESTOP, and "extremely limited"...wow..i feel jaded.

Nice. I'm going to wait til the XL versions are out (or a Zelda version is released) -- even though I KNOW it'll be worth more money keeping it sealed, I just don't collect like that... and I'm not just saying that because I didn't get an email from CN about it either :(

Lol well I'll prob end up using this console since the faceplates are likely to be the main exclusive part of this bundle. Atleast if I have this one, when a Zelda bundle does inevitably come out, I won't be tempted to use it and it came stay a nice display piece like my 3DS XL! ^^

[Cosmic_Link]

And it's been dispatched and should be here tomorrow! ^^ So excited. :D

Just curious, but are there any other members here who are eligible to purchase one and if you are, have you? :D

Also, one more thing, does anybody know of any sites where you can import some of the Jap faceplates from for the New 3DS? 0.o

[Dragoncat]

So annoyed that we didn't received a code despite being loyal customers for ages while people who have a huge collection of two games got a code or people who are such big fans that they went straight to ebay to sell the 3DS. Is there anyone who has received an email but doesn't want to buy the 3DS and would be willing to help out? We would of course compensate for the troubles :(

We even sent a huge mail to complain at Nintendo with pictures of our whole collection. Not that it will help but it feels really bad to be treated like this. Saying that this is for the most loyal customers while it's clearly not.

Yeah it does make me wonder what the criteria is to be eligible for one of these consoles... 0.o I wonder whether my GF was eligible. She's at work atm, so I don't know if she did or not. Lol Was you an Ambassador for the original 3DS? I was one of the first 3000 people in Europe to register my 3DS console, and I have the T-Shirt to prove it (literally)!!! XD

[Dragoncat]

Yeah, we bought the old 3DS pretty much day one and were Ambassadors and also have that shirt. :(

[Cosmic_Link]

Yeah, we bought the old 3DS pretty much day one and were Ambassadors and also have that shirt. :(

I dunno then? :shrug: I register literally every game I get on my CN account. I have all of Nintendo's consoles registered on my account all the way back to GBA. I have also made a fairly few purchases direct from the Nintendo online store too.

What number shirt did you get btw? ^^

[Dragoncat]

It's the number 2849.

[Cosmic_Link]

It's the number 2849.

I got 1104 for my 3DS and I got another T-Shirt off eBay with a Zelda OoT3D Pre-order case for £15. ^^ The other shirt was number 800. Lol

[Dragoncat]

Those are great numbers ^^
If we remember correctly, we've seen the number 800 shirt on ebay back then xD

On another note:
We've found someone who was so kind to help us with it, so not mad anymore.

Lol yeah it was quite sometime ago. Back when OoT3D was released since I was completely clueless and didn't know anything about GAME having these pre-order cases, so I had to suck it up and eBay one and that one was the cheapest. ^^ Won it on an auction with the shirt. :D Thought it was a pretty good result. Now the shirt is in my drawer in a jiffy bag with the other one as they're too small for me!! XD

Congrats on finding somebody to help you with getting a 3DS. ^^ Mine should be here tomorrow, so keep an eye on this thread for pics. :D

[Twisted]

i bet if something like this comes to the US..it will be at the NYC Nintendo store..i'm sure Nintendo wants to make a huge splash with the re-intro of 3DS..and wants people to buzz about it, so i figure something like this would happen in NYC since we technically don't have an on-line official Nintendo store like Europe,. but unlike Europe have an official Nintendo store in NYC

[Cosmic_Link]

It's here!! ^^ Was surprised it dispatched so quickly after purchasing it. Paid extra for next day. :D Was so happy to have received an email to purchase one of these yesterday! It will be cherished! ^^

The lid faceplate comes detached from the console when it's packaged. Unfortunately the console doesn't come with plain faceplates like I had hoped for either.

I haven't actually used the console and if I'm honest I don't think I will be using this one now. >.< Can see the White getting incredibly grubby, so I think I migt still look at importing a black one. Lol The faceplates are glossy, but the borders and inside of the console are Matt and in my experience with the Matt White DSi, it doesn't take long before they tarnish, especially with how much I play my DS and the fact that it goes everywhere with me. Lol

That's a gorgeous piece bud! I love how they plastered the "Ambassador Edition" on it and the inside boxes, very nice! Definitely a fantastic item, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, fair enough. You don't wanna turn it on just once though to check out the enhancements?

You have more resolve than I would in your position ;)

lol I fired it up earlier with my Zelda OoT demo cart in it and the improved 3D screen is exactly that. It's worlds better than the original 3DS screen. The "sweet spot" for the 3D viewing on the previous console has gone. :D It has such a wide 3D viewing angle. You can even see it altering itself if you turn the console away from you and quickly turn it back. XD I would most likely use the 3D more on this model if not all the time because of this. The 3D felt like a gimmick for me on the old model as I'd use it once one new games I buy and then the 3D would stay off as it feels like a hassle to make sure the console is in the precise spot. I haven't been able to try the extra thumb stick as I don't have any cartridge games that would support it anyway. I personally don't like the feel of it as it is... :S It may feel better when being used for a game, but I don't know. >.<

Given NoA's track record, I can't see it reaching US shores and if it did, as you said, most likely a NYC Exclusive.

Yeah, I was happy to see that the inner console box was a properly branded "Ambassador Edition" box and not just a standard white console with the faceplates as separate items inside the bundle box.

Makes me excited to get one of these New 3DS's, probably the XL.

If they ever come to the US.

Monster bunter is GameStop only in us

Indeed it is.

[KnightOfTruth]

While I'm definitely getting one, I'm still a little sad that the MM wasn't doesn't look... I dunno... "good". It just looks like it has a faceplate on it.

Also of note - they never announced a New 3DS in the America's - guess we're not getting one.

Majora's Mask New 3DS XL up for pre-order on GameStop.com: http://www.gamestop.com/consoles/nintendo-new-3ds-xl-majoras-mask-edition/119888

Got mine pre-ordered. Hoping they will show up on Amazon today so I don't have to pay tax and shipping on it.

Me too, but Amazon doesn't typically carry Nintendo consoles (at least in the past they haven't).

Edit: and darn, looks like it sold out on G/S?? Can't process through checkout now??

Yeah I feel the same. I was hoping it would be purple at the very least. The monster hunter one is kind of sexy, tempted to get both.

[KnightOfTruth]

Well that stinks. Been clicking on it since it went live and it kept being removed from my cart!?!? :banghead:

I want to get the monster hunt version too but way does limited money have to be a prick.:poke:

well, the zelda new 3ds has been removed.

[KnightOfTruth]

Also known as "sold out"... :(

[xhunter]

well, the zelda new 3ds has been removed.

It is still listed, just not available. Sold out already? My order hasn't been cancelled.

[eternix]

Good thing we snagged one. ^_^

[xhunter]

Good thing we snagged one. ^_^

I am so excited I snagged one. I missed out on so many other collectible/special versions of 3DS consoles. Hopefully it is just a glitch in the system for others here who want one.

[KnightOfTruth]

Don't even understand how others got in before me? I was F5'ing the site and clicked it as soon as I saw it... but it just kept kicking it out of my cart saying "unavailable"... :(

[Googlie]

Soo glad I got mine in. Hopefully it wasn't a faulty listing.

I was refreshing about once every 10 seconds, so I think I got it seconds after it went up.

[KnightOfTruth]

Whew. Crisis Averted. Called up a GS friend of mine who processed a Web-In-Store for me and I'll just swing by and pay it later today! :whew: :woohoo:

[Cosmic_Link]

Bah! >.< This release is going to cost me so much monies. :( Hopefully GAME will be carrying the MM 3DSXL. :beg:

Yeah im hoping game or amazon do it for the UK.

That confirms it my New 3DS ambasador edition that came through yesterday will now stay sealed.

And will be getting the zelda 3ds XL to use.

[KnightOfTruth]

I really wonder what the inside of the MM LE New 3DS XL (:whew: Out of breath!....) looks like? I doubt they'll keep the cool classic colored buttons... probably just use the colors that are on the black N3DSXL.

Is this US only? Or is it coming to EU/AU as well?

[KnightOfTruth]

_S6ZJZER2Iw

Thanks, just saw that on another site, was gonna respond, but you beat me to it! :)

[Cosmic_Link]

Is this US only? Or is it coming to EU/AU as well?

It'll be coming to Europe Atleast. Couldn't say about AUS. I would assume so though.

Just anxiously waiting for pre-order links to come up. Fingers crossed I can make a pre-order instore tomorrow too, assuming GAME stock it. That way I can trade in my standard copies towards the cost of the console.

Was a price point mentioned for the new console? 0.o

[Venner]

I'll get the MM console, Ofcourse. I really want a standard size N3DS to use though! >.< Fingers crossed for a black one. :D

I prefer to use the XL's now since i upgraded to one last year. so the smaller screen on the normal one will feel odd to use.

[KnightOfTruth]

Wonder why the US didn't get a New 3DS (Regular)? Guess they're just hating on us again.

Also, you guys got the game included in your MM bundle. We didn't. Its $199 USD w/o a game.

[Cosmic_Link]

According to GAME Digital on Twitter, the new consoles will be available for pre-order today. Nothing has been said about the LE consoles though.

[Cosmic_Link]

I do quite like the new screen size though for the smaller model! ^^ I've personally never had a problem with the screen sizes anyway. Lol


Also, you guys got the game included in your MM bundle. We didn't. Its $199 USD w/o a game.

Yeah, but the game is pre-installed which is useless to me since I won't be using the console! >.< Wish they just put them on download codes like they did before, or better yet, just include a damn cartridge! >.< Cheap bastards... -_-

[xhunter]

I like that they didn't completely do away with the color on the buttons. I'm okay with the same colored buttons that have different colored letters. Looks nice.

[Venner]

Did everyone get their e-mail from nintendo for the monster hunter demo codes?

[0329liuken]

If anyone in the US Preordered 2 of them please let me know, I missed it :(

You can still do web-in-store at GS locations right now bud. Also, it doesn't appear to be a GS exclusive, so BB will probably have them up soon. Keep checking them!

I noticed that the Zelda 3DS has already dropped by about $100 even for sealed/CIB auctions in the past month or so. Hopefully there'll be quite a few more out there with this announcement as I still need to get one of those. :beg:

Yes..... that is exactly the one you should be looking for on eBay. The Link Between Worlds 3DS XL. That is the one I'm referring to as well. Continue to search for that one and do not bid on any other types of Zelda 3DS' and all shall be well with you...

West Coast folks got screwed on this deal.

Hey wake up at 6am Nintendo has yet another product to announce that will be sold out within 15 minutes!

*wakes up at 9* Great what did I miss. Yay more Zelda crap. Sold out online OF COURSE but available for web-in-store FOR THE MOMENT. Great. Stores don't open for another hour.

Third in line when GameStop opened at 10:00, it took 10 minutes to get to the counter and I asked specifically for a "web-in-store order" for the MM N3DS. Clerk is like, "yeah, it's sold out, sorry." So I said, "Yeah I know it's sold out online, I asked for a 'web-in-store order.'" But it was out of stock for web-in-store too. Which means by the time West Coast GameStops opened this morning, few if any copies were left for us.

The upshot of too much time on my hands and dogged persistence?

Called another GameStop 10:15: "Oh it was sold out for a little bit there. I just checked and it looks like they added some more. You better get here quick!"

I turned around and walked back in the store I was still standing in front of, told the clerk to please check again. It was re-available so he took my info and tried to place the order. Error, please try again, if this problem persists, please call tech support. He tried a couple more times, still got an error. Tech support was no help. They said because of the MM N3DS that everyone across the US was trying to order all at once, the web-in-store system was being overloaded, hence the error. Only thing to do is just keep trying.

10:45ish, out of stock again. There was a nationwide, system-wide processing overload error so how could anyone place any orders to make it out of stock again? :rant:

Got home, ready to spend rest of day F5ing Best Buy and Amazon when I noticed I had 3 order confirmation e-mails. Each time the clerk had tried to put in the order and gotten an error on his end, it had actually processed and sent me an order confirmation email. But I'd never paid for them.

I called GameStop.com CS expecting to be told they would have to cancel them. The CS rep told me 90% of his calls today have been about the MM N3DS, and if you call right now you're on hold for 30 minutes before receiving assistance because "we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes."

The CS rep told me he would indeed have to cancel my orders...but only two of them! If I could pay for one I could keep one. :yahoo: :notworthy: :whew:

Nintendo has me jumping through hoops for their shit like a trained monkey. I want to kick them in the balls. No one can say this is the right way to release a new product. They do everything completely wrong and leave it up to GameStop to pick up the pieces for them. "Well look at all the hype and buzz and tweets" Oh, you mean the ones saying 'fuck you Nintendo stop pulling this shit?'

I'm not sure if there's a 1 per customer limit or not, but when I called GS.com CS the rep pretty much automatically canceled two of my orders without giving me any say about it. Maybe I could have stopped him, but I don't have $600 to pay for 3 orders. :( I seriously did consider keeping them to help forum members but I just couldn't afford to. Sorry man. Best of luck on your wild goose chase.

Not sure if this has been posted here or not, but if you're in the UK (or anywhere else in Europe) and want to put a pre-order down just to be safe, Amazon France appear to have some up (and they won't take payment yet like all Amazon!)

So if you're able to get a UK one you can just cancel it!

[huntrodz]

Sold by Amazon as well

[huntrodz]

Thanks man! Could see it at all, I've ordered it to guarantee I've got one, I'll still be watching for the Nintendo store ones to come on.

[KnightOfTruth]

Wish I wasn't so worried about selling pre-orders on eBay. Seems like people are making easy flips with their Zelda pre-orders. Seems a bit much with the N3DS's though since we don't even know what other retailers will be selling these. I don't think Nintendo ever used the word "limited" or "exclusive", just "special edition". Normally I wouldn't care, but funding is tight right now so they've got me thinking :think: If there's people out there who have got buckets of money and want to spend it, I can't say that I'm morally opposed to them giving it to me... but what about the people who DONT have $ and just want these editions?? The Collector vs. Reseller dilemma is REAL!

It's up http://store.nintendo.co.uk/new-nintendo-3ds-xl-console/new-nintendo-3ds-xl-majoras-mask-3d-edition/11070029.html

Not happy with the price though!!!

Thanks Matt managed to get it ordered from here aswel, it works out 30odd quid dearer than the Amazon.fr one.

Considering it includes the statue from the US SE, I'm definitely OK with the price :D

Yeah I have him one on order from Amazon.fr and Nintendo store until he contacts me about it when he finishes work!

[Matt16]

The US console plus CE of the game would be $250 which is about 165gbp (plus tax I think) so much cheaper than ours. Of course if someone missed out on the US CE of the game then it's probably cheaper than paying ebay scalpers so isn't so bad :shrug:

I think it's overpriced though... but I still bought it so must be a mug.

There's not much point comparing it to the US though, as they're always going to get a better deal :(

Look at it this way, Game is selling the regular New 3DS XL for £180 - so we're only paying £30 more for the SE design + charger + statue + download copy of MM which is a pretty good deal really :D

If you really don't want the ambassador edition, just stick it on eBay. No point returning it when you can make a little extra on top from it! :thumb: I personally will be keeping mine, but I'm just a hoarder!! XD

I just hope that everybody here who wanted one, got one. :beg:

[Cosmic_Link]

Aw man that looks sweet. Do they make plates like that for tye XL versions too?

No they don't. Only the standard size console has the interchangeable cover plates. It's the main reason for me getting a black standard N3DS as well. Lol won't be using the MM XL. lol

[Dragoncat]

No, that's not possible. Only the standard new 3DS will allow you to change the faceplates. The XL versions have a fixed cover.

I think the standard 3DS size will come to the US in holiday 2015..and my theory is 2DS will be phased out by then.

[Texas Fire]

While that sounds a bit harsh, it's mostly true - if there's an employee at the register who is giving you a hard time, buy a piece of candy or one of those $1 things around the counter and then burn him/her on the survey, explaining in detail what happened - if they still have a job the DM will at least give him a stern talking to and possibly personally give you a call too. (Just don't sound like a punk in your survey)

Well played...

It's a lot cheaper to collect cover plates than limited edition consoles!

Nintendo must be banking on people buying a lot of cover plates instead of multiple consoles.

[KnightOfTruth]

I imagine their margins are WAY better than with the consoles (they might even sell those at a loss honestly). I'm sure it's more profitable for them though.
