Didn't see it, but does this bundle come with the artbook? Stinks if you have to buy both to get the amiibo and the artbook! :rant:

[Nachtfalke]

Yep.

Oh yeah, I suppose if I had actually let the image load and looked at the box I would've known that ;) Thanks!

[Gemini-Phoenix]

That's interesting. Some images I've seen seem to suggest that the LE with Amiibo box doesn't come with the artwork book. I sincerely hope that it does, as it would be a trifle unfair to fans to have to buy two versions just to get the book and the Amiibo

I have also seen that there is an alternate coloured 8-bit Mario due to be released separately (blue overalls, red shirt), but I haven't been able to determine whether this particular Amiibo in NES colours is exclusive to this particular box set, or whether it'll also be available separately

[Nachtfalke]

Just take a closer look to the sides of the LE packaging and you can see it for yourself that the "artbook" (which is actually more an introduction guide) is included. ;)

i hope a US bundle is announced..kinda sucks big time the EURO console bundle once again contains a run of the mill ordinary standard black console wii u....so much for proper 30th edition i was hoping for kinda like the exclusive red wii 25th mario packaged bundle console etc.

GAME upholding their tradition of being the most expensive retailer out of the main four. Actually hope they drop the price in line with other online retailers.

Anyone looking to buy both this and the other edition together will end up paying £15 more if bought from GAME! That's quite a significant difference in price! The more complaints they receive via Facebook / Twitter, the more inclined they might be to drop the price to match Zavvi's prices

[comaamen86]

well continually moaning on twitter and facebook does not really achieve much

vote with your wallet and buy at the cheaper places you mentioned

But let's face it, if you preorder from GAME at least you're gonna get it on/around release. Who knows if Zavvi will send it or if this will be another in a long line of "sorry we still haven't sent your order" type situations x

[vhal_x]

I'd rather pay a couple quid extra for that haha, plus reward points :) x

Preaching to the choir, V! GAME is the lesser of two evils, and has a much higher success rate when it comes to delivering on time, and also regarding packaging. Zavvi are also sneaky and often sell European stock in the UK market, although in this instance I believe the packages are deliberately all the same (mostly affects PlayStation CE releases)

Has anybody else ordered this from GAME? They have a nice pre-order pin set...

Anyway, I have ordered a couple of copies from GAME Online, one for me and one for a member. Anyway, I will never know what the fuck has happened, but GAME has literally tried to empty my bank account with this game with there being 8 separate payments being taken from my account for 2 orders. >.< I only noticed when I went to pay for something in a store today and my card kept being declined... :S So embarrassing when the store staff asks you "Do you have any money in there!?"!! >.<

Just a heads up for anybody else who has ordered this from GAME, to check their bank accounts. Might just be an isolated issue for me, but I thought I would let people know... -_-

[vhal_x]

Same thing here, bank blocked them and I then received FOUR cancellation emails. I only had one order, yet they tried so many times to charge me. What the hell is going on with their system? x

[vhal_x]

They did this to me before with some amiibos and then refused to refund me as they "have no record of these charges on the system" x

[Cosmic_Link]

It's a pain in the arse! >.< Usually my Bank will decline GAME UK payments when they're multiple like that, which is why I changed to In-Store group buys. This time they haven't though... -_-

What I have been told though, when I eventually got through to their CS (30min wait), was that the orders I had made had been charged multiple times each, but most of the charges had been refunded, all bar 4 of them! >.< Not very impressed as it has no ties up my funds in my bank account, so should I need any money from it, there's not enough "available" funds... -_-

Yep, same issue here. Bank blocked most of the transactions they were trying to charge for (hence the cancellation emails) but certainly annoying having (much-needed) funds tied up :/ especially when you have impending purchases to deal with x

[KnightOfTruth]

Just wondering if anyone happens to have an extra pre-order bonus pin set from GAME UK for this? Its one of the nicer preorder bonuses I've seen and would love to get one for a decent price. Please let me know if so!

Thanks!

Just saw a few unboxings. The little artbook in both standard and limited editions got a hardcover in europe, while in the US version it doesn't have one.

GAME Customer Services are on a roll this week. ^^

Seems they are trying to redeem the crappy rep they have received in the past for their shoddy customer services. Let's see if we can get 3 for 3 when I ring up to complain about my fallout Anthology. :ghey:
