Anticipated Super smash bros bundle

[Iwatasan]

Sheesh, I definitely wouldn't pay that much. News sites say it should go down to $17.95 AUD but if not...I imagine you and your friends will be importing from the US, huh?

And wow...$50 NZD... poor Kiwis... stuff is so expensive there I don't get it.

Just a heads up, Club Nintendo currently has an offer where if you purchase both versions of SSB and register them you get a free physical copy of the soundtrack. Not sure if this is US only.

After checking out the contributing composers/musicians on the soundtrack I think I'm more hyped for the soundtrack than the actual game.

Wow that's an amazing list of composers/etc.! I wonder if any of those names give away any new characters or levels haha

Imagine getting a signed copy by these people?!? THAT'D be amazing! Quite the life goal to chase them all down... Maybe I should ask Matt about that haha!

Imagine if they started bundling those.

I know this is the Smash Bros thread, but since we have already touched on this topic herealready, I would like to continue it here...


Amiibos...ARGH!!! >.< Why do publishers keep fucking us Euro gamers over on prices!? Nintendo needs to explain themselves!!! £10.99 per figure in the UK!? Wasn't going to get started on on the console bundle but since I am ragging on game prices here again, I might as well have a shot at that too. Why is the SSB Console Bundle only $199 in the US according to a recent Walmart ad posted in the SSB Console thread!? We're being charged £209.99 for that bundle in the UK!! How the fuck is that justified!? If importing consoles wasn't so difficult, I would just import them as I didn't intend to use them anyway, but that's besides the point... I'm starting to reaslly hate this trend. It's getting more and more common now. >.<

Atleast we're getting the Soundtrack promotion too though.

Not to get too political but I think it has to do with taxes vs. government benefits. We pay more for things like medical bills and education, you pay more for things like plastic toys.

i just don't like the idea that almost each and everytime they do something special, they have to use the default red and blue colored consoles..these should have been a different shade of red and blue to differentiate from the standard red and blue consoles we see every day...instead it looks like they took the standard editions, and a plastered a "copied" page in black and white of the boxart..I know, there's been Zelda, and Yoshi etc..but we've already seen this done with the Pokémon editions, ...and now the same old boring standard colors make a return.

Wha?!?!? How can we get this? Have pre-orders gone up yet? C'mon we need details here!!

[Twisted]

we will need the help of a Canadian forwarder as futureshop delivers Canada ONLY...sometimes, (and i'm keeping my fingers crossed)..they allow you to order steelbook only for around $10 and as many as you want (until on-line quantities) are depleted, otherwise there "in-store' pre order bonuses, but you would be forced to buy the game as well..it can go either or both ways.
