Must buy for me, love zelda items. Thanks Ryu

[vhal_x]

WHEN DOES THIS COME OUT!? Must have! xx

[Ryu Kazama]

25th November according to Kotaku.

[vhal_x]

Any idea of price? Might get my boyfriend to get me this for Christmas too :P xx

[Ryu Kazama]

No other details, unfortunately. I'd guess £160-£180. I'm going by GAME's current bundle offerings which are £155 (less depending on the game).

[vhal_x]

Yay, that's great :) thanks xx

[nipperkipper]

Absolute no brainer for me

[oXdanXo]

I'll have to get one :)

[Twisted]

[Viridius]

[OniRyo]

Also i pre-ordered it and the release date on Zavvi.co.uk is November 18th!, also it's available @ Game Mania in the Netherlands(@ Gamemania you can only pick games up at the store, so only available in NL) for 185 euro.

Here's the original Nintendo news blog post, which indeed cites the 25th as the release date:

And for reference, Kotaku have posted some hi-res pictures of this Zelda 3DS handheld, showing just how bland it actually is in reality:

Just to let you know that Zavvi (or The Hut) code won't work on consoles or pre-orders...which this happens to be both! A shame, really.

[RyT]

Ebgames AU have them as preorder as well. Out December though.. price 249 AUD

[Twisted]

this is coming to USA!!!!!....but our "box art" is'nt as classy,...it's actually a bit of a let down compared to the PAL boxart..gamestop usa will have it around thanksgiving for black friday..there's also a red 3ds mario 3d land bundle available too in the upcoming weeks.

[AmericanBash]

GameStop will have it on black friday for $200 in the US and you can trade in older DS's to get it cheaper. Also BestBuy will have them as well and they will have it supposedly at $150

[DemonATX]

this blows!!! :)..it's region locked!!!!!!!!!!...us Yanks are out of luck!!!!!!

It might be region locked but if you really want this version it's not an issue since the 3DS will be of that region.

[Chris93ny]

It might be region locked but if you really want this version it's not an issue since the 3DS will be of that region.

We are getting this bad boy in the USA saw it when I saw the ad for black friday for gamestop:thumb:

[Twisted]

yea, but have you seen the butt ass ugly box where getting it in?..unlike the all black and gold collector style box..where getting some cheap looking one...with a wide yellow band on the side, and the box being mostly white and not elegant at all.

[DemonATX]

Hmm what I meant to imply was don't let the region locking stop you from buying this version because if you have a US 3DS and a Europe 3DS then you can get collector's editions from both regions and still be able to play them.

I ordered the special Zelda 3DS game (preorder version) for the artwork and found out the hard way it didn't work on my US 3DS.
