New Nintendo 3DS Release Date Confirmed for 13th February

Almost what I wanted!

Kind of annoying for us ambassador edition folks. BUT, I don't care, because they are releasing both MM and MH faceplates!

Nintendo, here, take my money! All of it!!

Wow! I suppose they thought the smaller models wouldn't sell in the US.

What if I buy the MM bundle and get a larger SD card? Will I be able to transfer MM to my new SD?

I want that Majora's Mask NN3DS XL system.

Searching like crazy for a Pre-Order on the MM3D bundle.

The Majora's Mask New 3DS XL is $199.99 MSRP in the US, and does NOT have the game bundled.

Sucks that it doesn't come with a charger. People who trade in their current 3DS at GameStop have to give up their charger. That sucks.

@FeedingTheWheel

Well, with the original 3DS if you saved the contents of the SD card to your hard drive on a computer you could then copy that info to the new card and put it in, so I assume that would work here as well.

I'm DEFINITELY getting the Majora's Mask one, but it's not for pre-order yet

HAHA I called it. I wish it wasnt so soon but I'll be paying that off on friday. I guess I'll get my computer next month. This will be my final NA 3ds. I wish i wasnt such a sucker for Zelda but what can you do?

I'll be getting the regular n3ds from Japan now for the face plates.

Nintendo ****ing hates us Muricans. If your gonna only release one model, at least drop the damn price to $180. I'm probably gonna go for the MH model, but Gamestop better have some REALLY good trade in deals for the system.
Guess it's time for me to get used to horrible, pixelly screens. It'll be a drastic change whenever I switch between it and my Vita, Shield, and Nexus 5.

@brewsky Thanks. That's actually better for me.

Those Wii games on the Wii U eShop is the biggest news to me!

Really disappointed I can't get a regular-sized system in NA with the new features. The XL is too big for my hands and probably most women and children.

@abbyhitter Chargers are $3 on Amazon. Who doesn't own a spare?

How many more 3/DS models will you make me buy Nintendo? Already have an AUS import and an ambassador New 3DS, plus all the past models! But dam I want that Majora's Mask model.

I really need this Majoras Mask 3D New 3DS XL ... I NEED IT!!

I'm going to cancel my pre-order for MH4U to pre-order the MH4U New 3DS!

@brewsky Thanks for the info! That is the deciding factor that I'm going to pre-order the MH4U New 3DS for sure!

I am absolutely buying that MM3D XL. Time to upgrade from my 2DS.
Little disappointed about no smaller model though.

I'm disappointed we're only getting the XL Model, I was looking forward to the faceplates.

Ah well, I will still buy the XL Model for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.

@Sakura - Here's my comment from yesterday, works better here:

**************************************************
I think the LL far outsold the regular in Japan, where Nintendo was probably counting on the face plates to draw people in, and I don't think that will be a big draw here. Also, higher cost, higher profit margin, well probably. Or maybe there is already so much stock of the current regular they want to sell that out first so they are giving the XL a month or 2 head start. That's what I would do. Regular is for kids, and they wont be so quick to spend $150 so soon after Christmas. XL is for adults, and we've been waiting for months.
I think they will release both in the US, but a month or 2 head start for XL could be understandable.
**********************************************

Want the MH4U silver model, don't want thegame. I'd buy th ebudnle adn sell th egame for $199, but not for $229.

I know this is a new model, but XL has still been out for 2 years, was due a price cut. Oh well.

Still think Feb 13 is a slap in the face for anybody who just bought/received a 3DS this past Christmas. Not us knowledgeable folk on here, but the rest of the Nintendo gaming non-NL community.

Mother of God!

@ryan3ds It does not include the game, in the US.

Already stalking web stores for majoras mask. Even i already managed to pre order limited edition majoras mask box.

Why no AC adapter? That is just really lame and greedy.

@russellohh That's not the point. People who have one 3DS XL who want to trade in their current system for a New 3DS XL have to trade in their charger for a system that doesn't come with a charger. I, for one, don't have spare charger laying around. I have one charger for my 3DS XL and one charger for my DS Lite. It sucks that you have to buy an extra charger.

Super excited about the N3DS finally hitting NA and MM and MH4 releasing on the same day(!), but super disappointed that it's ONLY the XL. I understand that if NA could only get the regular or XL, then the XL is clearly the better end of the deal... but the faceplates!

With all the cards put on the table now, I'm gonna hunt down a preorder for the MH4 bundle. With no blue XL, that silver and blue is the next best option for me.

EB Games Canada has the New 3DS XL & MM XL for $229.99 and the MH4 bundle for $259.99. Are they insane? Apparently the MM XL is already sold out!

I know I said I was holding off until two or three years for the next hardware...but that Majora's Mask bundle looks really good...

Looks epic

Yeah thats still inexcusable, but roll on February.

No standard model kinda ruins my day if I only consider 3DS related things.

The Majora's Mask New XL looks like garbage, the MH4U New XL looks decent.I don't like the text but it's not awful. Looks like I'll be picking up a black New XL. I'll get over the disappointment by the time I have it.

This direct was boring. Too much N3DS. I'm not a kid anymore. No reason for me to game on a handheld.

Bring the better games to Wii U damn it.

Im honestly a little disappointed. I was one of the few people that wanted to get the N3ds based off the original 3ds. But I dont mind getting the xl. I already know im getting one of the collectors edition but not sure which one. I love legend nof zelda...a lot but dont like the way the xl looks I feel the monster hunter one is way better and i might end up getting that one.

Really the only thing that draws me to the New 3DS XL is the placement of the volume button. I already have 2 3DS XL's and been thinking about buying a third so I don't have to fight with the kids when I want to play. I think I am just gonna wait to see what deals come out for the old 3DS Xl's.

$200 plus no charger? that seems CRAZY. I have 5 chargers that will work with it, but it is still crazy that it does not come with one.

In comparison I just bought 2nd new PS3 500 GB for the basement on Amazon for $220.

If anyone finds the pre-order for the UK for the Majoras 3dsxl could they send me it please?

Sweet, if it's not bundled I can get the Majora's Mask System and MH 4!

@BarryDunne I need a code for the US demo? If its true can I have one?

No regular N3DS = no buy from me. I'll ride my current XL until their new handheld comes out unless a killer app comes out for it. Canceling my MH4U:LE now. This is the first time in awhile that I've been disappointed in NoA.

I'm quite disappointed the regular sized New 3DS was announced for Europe but not in North America. That said, that Zelda 3DS XL reveal was a huge surprise.

@LUIGITORNADO

I am 43 and I play on the 3DS more than my PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 put together.

I'm going with the blue New 3DS XL or the Majoras Mask edition I think. So when can I pre-order one?

I have just begun trying to allow my wife to get the monster hunter one

I was planning to pre-order one as soon as it was announced in the Direct, but I only wanted the white standard size. So change of plans - will just wait until the next new handheld is released, and see if they offer the style I'd like then (which they likely won't, being NOA).

2 more for EU region

A076UBGQ0DXD3R2H
A076W40215F17DW3

You know, if they aren't going to include an AC adapter, they should at least make the plug a micro USB port.

I don't understand how can people like the pixelated looks of the XL, well different tastes I guess, still no regular New 3DS is silly and more silly is no AC adapter with the XL. Sometimes I wonder what the hell is going on at Nintendo businesswise.

$230 in Canada ($260 for MH4U bundle) is a joke.

If anyone would like an EU code for the demo msg me as I have 2 spare

This....is not cool. I don't want the XL version.

............

Fans will always find something to complain about.

Gamestop's site already sold out MM new 3ds!

My gf been asking me for an XL model to replace her deflective normal model for 2 years and her birthday is the same day as the New version release. Talk about signs.

Personally I planning to get the non XL model due to the custom faceplate and more portable size (harder to fit XL in pockets) but I can wait. Not like it's never going to be release in NA anyways.

@FeedingTheWheel yes

Sad day for the people who have no gamestop in their country
I also want the 'regular' version of the 3DS but fhey are certainly nice version of the system.
Still can't decide to buy NEW 3DS day one or wait a little.

@rjejr That makes a lot of sense, apart from the regular being just for kids! Hmm, thanks... It actually feels really good in my hands when I play and I really like the idea of keeping it fresh by changing the cover plates. Will keep it looking new too if there are any scratches, though I don't like many of the cover plate designs. Have always used a case protector on all my 3ds consoles, but that means I can't use the charging cradle and it covers up the design. I really want a white XL with cover plates!!!

@jos Cheers! I used the first code listed.

I was first thinking "I'll wait and hold of and save money" Then I found out about the majoras mask bundle and i was all -_- NO, MY WALLET!!!

Please, I just need an answer. Is the amiibo adapter for the original 3DS still coming? Will I be able to play Smash with my amiibo on my original 3DS? Please? I can't afford a New 3DS system, and I already have three amiibo...

• No AC Adapter
• No smaller model
• No faceplates

I was gonna get this for sure, but now I am considering skipping it and using the money on a company that does not make all the decisions for me and also rip me off not even including an AC adapter, terrible decisions.

Boom! Went into my local GAME and preordered the MM LE New 3DS XL!!!

@khululy I'm on the same boat, 2 3dsXL in my house and the only upcoming game that I'm 100% getting is MH4U.

I want to know why there is no AC adapter included.

I been needing a new 3DS system anyways my is wearing out. Had it since Summer 2011.

@abbyhitter Meh, its $3, or...2 pounds? My sandwich cost more than that.

@LUIGITORNADO
Thats the first time I've heard 3DS = Children, Wii U = Big boy machine.

It took the majora's mask 3ds XL 5 minutes to sell out at gamestop.com with a limit of 1 per account. For those interested, you better preorder fast instore because they'll be gone in no time

He didn't breathe a single word about the regular-size new 3ds, which feels a lot like being crapped on.

The Monster Hunter special edition will be mine!

want the MH4U New 3DS XL so mutch..

It's really annoying how the N3DSXL is being prioritized so much, despite having less features to begin with. Is it THAT hard to bring out Limited Edition games with exclusive faceplates?! Seriously, it's stupid.

I just pre-ordered the Majora's mask new 3ds xl edition for 260$ (CAD) in canada. 15 minutes later it was already sold out on gamestop.ca. man. same story again. Ebay scam is comming.

What about the smaller version with the faceplates? No mention of that...??

@CaviarMeths We're actually getting a better deal than the US according to the current exchange rate USD=1.195CAD, but yeah, it's going to tank in Canada at that price.

@Sakura - "Have always used a case protector on all my 3ds consoles,"

My kids each got a cool hardcover case for their 3DS, Mario Galaxy for the red one and Zelda for the blue one, so from the beginning I knew those faceplates would be pointless for us, and a majority of US kids who have those over-sized Nerf covers.

Apologies for the over-generalization about normal and XL. I know there are adults who want small and kids who want XL, but I guess thats what it was, a simple generalization about why regular 3DS could get delayed.

Here's a related question for you - why no 2DS in Japan? Personally I think it's b/c the Japanese have common sense b/c I hate the 2DS design, but Ntineod must have a real reason. And whatever that reason is, maybe that's why no regular new 3DS in the US. Though at some point, stock will run out and new 3DS will be the only 3DS, just w/o much fanfare, it will just hit shelves un-announced.

Was going to order the MM N3DS but apparently GameStop says it's not available I already have the Black XL, so I guess red it is.

Concerning the lack of AC adapter in the N3DS, it's basically a power play by Nintendo to squeeze more profit from every unit sold and to get the customer to buy an official one separately, thus gaining more profit. Also from the sound of it, the most ardent 3DS owners have at least two already from their previous purchases (you can use one at a time, right?) , so in part Nintendo is making a business decision based on that. It sucks for someone like me who's going to trade in my sole XL for a newer model or for first time buyers, but such is life.

Guess I know where my tax return will go for...Zelda Bundle Set!!!

Pretty disappointed. I was definitely going to go for the smaller model, not for the faceplates, but for the actual smaller size and those sweet colored buttons. And while the Majora's Mask edition is nice, (unpopular opinion alert) MM is probably my least favorite Zelda game of the 3D era. Now mind you, I still think it's a great game, as is every Zelda entry (yes, even Zelda II: Adventures of Link, which has aged quite nicely), and I'll probably get the remake, I just wish they would issue a less game-specific Zelda edition. The Link Between Worlds 3DS XL was nice because the specific game reference was so subtle (the upside down triforce on the bottom).

And while I have gotten a little bit into Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, I don't know if I like the series enough to go all in with a special edition console. I'll probably just go with red. Again, pretty disappointed in the whole treatment for NA. But I get it. Everybody here wants giant freaking screens on all their devices these days, and people don't buy faceplates in the U.S. Either way, still excited to get my hands on one.

I didn't want to get the NN3DS right away, but bundling it with MM3D and putting it just before my birthday was too much, I have caved to the pressure. This way I can use the c-stick and other cool features, and get to play Xenoblade before X, so this is great!

Bundles aren't bundled anymore, lol.

What was a day one purchase for me is now a wait and see what NoA's next spasm of coyness is gonna be.

Majora's Mask game will do for me.

Ugh why is NoA so against the regular model 3DS

@cblue85
No plans on releasing the standard edition here for financial reasons. If there is a serious public outcry though it can still come later on. Over the past year NOA has really been phasing out the normal 3DS line as they've cut back colors and overall production to focus on 2DS and the XL. XL is their big ticket item and has sold the best of the 3DS family in America, so they put all their cards on the new 3DS XL model. Plus it helps cut down part of the confusion of having 2352352523 different models available.

I don't care about the faceplates. I just want a system that fits in my pocket. If I can't carry it with me, I'll probably use it very little. Like my Vita. I don't play it much because I can't carry it with me.

And now I'm very happy I didn't waste money on the Ambassador/mildly rip off New 3DS would rather the MM XL model any day.

NO POWER ADAPTER INCLUDED!!?!?!?!?? What the heck Nintendo!? Why!?

@Punished_Boss_84 - I was going to reply - 3DS = kids 3DS XL = adults is what I've ALWAYS said, but I misread Wii U, probably based on the other 90 comments.

What's w/ the SS Vegeta avatar? I know you change occasionally but it's always been MGS. Tired of waiting for Phantom Pain? Greatness awaits

I'm trying desperately to preorder the Majora's Mask New 3DS XL from Gamestop but it still says it's unavailable.

@Spoony good thing I'm forward thinking. I use a micro SD card already for my 3DS XL. So all I have to do is pop out our of the SD adapter and I'll be good to go.

Though one question. I'll be trading my XL in for the newer one, so I can just separate my NNID from the old XL, pop in my micro SD into the New XL and bind my NNID to it and I'll be good to go right? I won't necessarily need both systems in hand to do the system transfer, tight? (I'm noob to that since I've evert only owned one 3DS lol)

No AC adapter = more people paying $10 for one = more money for Nintendo. Small gains at the cost of pissing off a lot of customers. They are probably banking on the fact that most people have one

@cblue85 - Maybe their lawyers are bored? Somebody in the US will sue within WEEKS, guaranteed, when they can't charge their system b/c new 3DS XL is their first Nintneod handheld.

Not me, lawyers aren't my thing, but somebody will.

@bezerker99
It sold out online within 5 minutes. I recommend preordering in store as soon as possible. These will not last long. They are the first limited edition new 3ds xl model AND its building off of the Zelda/majora craze. I expect in-store preorders to be cut off by tomorrow.

Man I hope they offer some trade in thing to get towards these.

For those who don't understand why Nintendo has given the America's a slap in the face, let me enlighten you. In Japan, Europe, and in Australia, Nintendo has given them the option to buy the standard 3DS and the XL version. Nintendo has only given the America's one option. An option we're forced to buy or forced wait an unknown number of months till the standard is released. I understand they're trying to get as much money as they can, but they with-held all the NEW 3DS models for many months, while all the other continents, got them first. They could at least give us the opportunity to choose which model we want. Not all of us like looking at screens where the pixels are blatantly visible. I hope Nintendo can make up for this mistake.

Just preordered my mm edition at gamestop

@rjejr I almost think that's where tech is going, even some mobile phones don't package things like headphones and USB cables/adapters anymore because they figure the average have a zillion laying around. I'm thinking Nintendo is banking on the average Nintendo consumer having a DS charger or two laying around somewhere. If not, perfect time for an upsale! We all know GameStop will be the first to let you know so they can sell the normal Joe something extra! Lol

@Sir_JBizzle
If you plan on trading in your handheld, you better wait if you have stuff you want to transfer. Data is hard linked to the system, not just to your Nintendo network id. You have to utilize the system's transfer data function in order to move data from one unit to the next. If you just plug in your sd card, the data will not be accepted in the new unit.

@AVahne this just in, they won't lol

Hopefully they will do the regular sized one sooner rather than later, I like being able to fit my 3DS in my pocket.

@Sir_JBizzle - Spoony is better at this stuff than I am but I'm going to say NO on using 1 SD card in two different 3DS. Nintendo doesn't want kids at school to be able to exchange SD cards at lunchtime to play different games. I really think you need to do the system transfer, sorry.

As for the plugs - if the 3DS XL charged w/ 1 of the dozen micro (or is it nano?) USB chargers I have in the house I'd get that, I've purchased several under $10 cell phones (I have kids) and they ALL came w/ chargers. Sometimes even the same one. I just think somebody in the US will sue when they can't charge their device, it's what we do. And it's a propitiatory port so they should at least make it the USB standard or throw in a 99c adaprtor like I think Apple did when they went to lightning. You can't sell an electric device w/o a means to charge it. Shouldn't be allowed. Amazon skipped the charger w/ one of it's Fire tablets but you could at least charge it over USB in about 10 or 12 hours.

I guess none of this should come as a surprise.

None of the other new 3DS units in other countries came with a power adapter. The US got it with the 3DS XL but no one else did.

The smaller (non-XL) 3DS doesn't really fit in a pocket any better than the big one.

I'm going to stick with my red XL. It would be nice to have a faster OS, but it still works great once a game is launched.

@Lord_Redwood - "I hope Nintendo can make up for this mistake."

Maybe when Japan gets the 2DS that the rest of the world has US will get the new 3DS?

Majora's Mask N3DS XL shall be mine!... I hope anyways

Anyone know if the US new 3DS XL "new black" color is the same as the "metallic black" in JP and AU? I think that looks slick and have preordered that one. From what I can tell it looks the same. I was just never really happy with the finish on my blue 3DS XL.

@Yellowtails
Basically....it saves them a bit of $$ by not including it, it forces people to get a new one if they need, and its not a deal breaker for those who planned on getting the new model. Basically they see no lose by ditching one.

@darthllama Ya - saves THEM, but not us. Thanks Nintendo...

@darthllama Ahhh gotcha! I almost figured as much based on Wii to Wii U system transfer. When I say unlink my NNID I should've been more clear. I was thinking I could at least start the system transfer and then finish when I have the new system. Or is that done by linking the two systems in the same session?

@rjejr In previous generations I believe that generalisation is probably correct The regular n3DS has screens that are slightly bigger so it doesn't feel as much of a downgrade as I suspected, so we'll have to wait and see for this generation. If anything, the (original) 3DS XL now feels clunky, but I don't know about the n3DS XL. I expect the XL model might outsell the regular in all regions because of the bigger screens, though the real bonus is extended battery life for me.

I'm not keen on the 2DS design either. I wonder if in Japan the market was already considered saturated? I think the 2DS is aimed as a budget model for emerging markets. Gaming does tend to be about a third more expensive in Europe compared to the US so that might account for an EU release, but not sure why they bothered in the US unless to tap into emerging South American markets.

For the n3DS releases, I wonder if they are testing the Western markets in the EU to see whether it would be worth it for the US or perhaps whether it is a simple stock issue. I do wish they'd unify decisions a bit more and explain the decisions they take. Variation across regions is crazy and decisions are baffling at times.

As for the charger, could not including one be an eco move? Less fuel for transport because the package weighs less, less packaging (conveniently missing the point that chargers will have to be bought and sent seperately anyway)? These initiatives attract subsidies worldwide. The EU has had chargerless XLs from the beginning. US is just catching up. And, of course, it saves them money. All of their decisions are about maximising profit in the end, even if they do provide some fantastic experiences for consumers along the way.

Guess I'll be getting the Majora's Mask 3D New 3DS bundle then.
I was meaning to upgrade eventually.

I just bought my gold triforce 3DS. Your going to have to give me 95% discount if you want me to buy another one this fast, and it's going to have to look a lot better than that ugly majoras mask version.

@rjejr
Which will never happen since:
A) The Japanese don't seem to be freaking out about 3D being dangerous to little kids. At least nowhere near as much as Americans.
B) A budget price model isn't needed over there since 3DS sells so much better over there than over here. They never got the "budget-priced" PSP E1000 either (actually only Europe ever got that) and they didn't get the "budget-priced" Wii Mini Junk-Grade console either.

@sakura Leaving the charger out also allows them to ship the same package all around the world, without needing to customize it for the electrical standards of the market country. And yet they have region lockout.

@Sir_JBizzle

You will still have to do a system transfer. When I upgraded from the standard 3DS to the XL I bought the XL first, went home and made the transfer, then went back and had the Gamestop I go to refund me the trade in amount. I worked this out with them in the store though, so I am not sure if this is a normal thing they do. It would be nice if stores had some sort of in-store kiosk where you can make the transfer right then and there.

no I'm good with my 3dsxl for right now.

@rjejr
Haha Is that your way of telling me "Greatness awaits" is overplayed at the moment? Ah, well it fits.

As for avatar, well I just realised Xenoverse is launching soon and I remember laughing at this moment. But don't worry MGSV: TPP will receive it's dues.

Unless my system dies, I think I'm just going to rough it until a next-gen Ninty handheld is released.

@AVahne - Japan missed out on 2DS and Wii Mini? Twice blessed.

Ilike the thing abut no 3D eye damage in Japan, but coudlnt they have just made a clam-shell 2DS w/o the whole redesign? Or a 2DS dsign in Japan w/ 3D?

Anyway I like your points, and I'm sure just as many could be made for why the US isn't getting regular new 3DS right now. Different reasons, but reasons.

@Punished_Boss_84 Thought it might be Xenoverse related but never pictured you as a DBZ guy. This has been my desktop wallpaper since the announcment:

Probably going to pre order the black one.

@rjejr just read yours, I was thinking system transfer by binding your hard linked data to the SD, then pop in SD to the target device and binding it to the system memory on transfer. I just wasn't very clear. Haha.

And yea, I could see some sort of class action suit coming. Lol. I think a couple of devices I bought came without an adapter, with the exception of Samsung devices. Though I suppose if you're going to use a proprietary method like Nintendo loves to do, it would be wise to include a charger.

@Spoony that's stupid the way Nintendo makes you jump through hoops, but it is what it is I suppose. Thanks for the info. I'm pretty chummy with my GameStop guys so I'm sure they'll take care of me in that regard. Thanks!

This is really disappointing for me. No small model at launch? I have very tiny hands so the xl is just too big to play for extended periods. It also doesn't fit in the pockets of women's pants! Kind of a deal breaker for me there.

I want the Majora's Mask limited bundle but want to system transfer so i would lose the game because it goes to my old system. Does anyone know anyway around this?

I preordered both of these. Can't wait.

Cant find any uk retailer taking pre-orders yet. Normally the websites are updated as soon as Nintendo announce.
Are the Zelda and monster hunter bundles for xl version. Hoping they are. I've stored £50 on my game reward card in readiness for my purchase.

No basic model? Welp, guess I'm not getting a New 3DS. I'm certainly not buying an XL.

I just came back from Gamestop. I was able to order the Majora's Mask 3DS XL. I traded in my 3DS XL (They gave me a $100 credit). It was a web-store order so I had to pay the remaining balance in full.

@rjejr
Never knew I was a DBZ fan?

I guess you don't know I'm a James Bond fan as well?

@Sir_JBizzle - "with the exception of Samsung devices. "

Here's how strangely petty I can be. Had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7". Considered a Tab 3 to upgrade but it was just really more of the same. Tab 4 came out w/ a micro USB charger and it was a selling point for me. Well that and it's a lot thinner, lighter w/ better screen res, but the standard charger did help w/ the sale. HATE the mono speaker though, but I mange.

I'm still on the fence. I'm not sure my family needs a third 3DS even if it is the "New" 3DS. I personally hate the plum/burgundy/red one. I think the MH4 one looks the best but I don't care for the game so I probably would skip on that model. That leaves me only the Zelda or Black models. I guess I would most likely try to find the Zelda model.

I was kind of looking forward to the smaller model being released because it's easier to carry. We have 2 XLs now and they are a little big to shove in a pocket, and we like doing the streetpass stuff. Oh well.

@LUIGITORNADO: Preach it brother, these kids and their handhelds...

@FeedingTheWheel Yes. Anytime in the past that I've switched SD cards, it's a simple matter of copying the contents of the original card directly to the new card on a PC. DO NOT DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE OLD CARD UNTIL THE NEW CARD IS CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING. You should be good to go afterwards though.

that Majoras Mask bundle looks good.im all about it and Xenoblade comes out in April. I can't say I'm exited about any Wii U titles coming out this spring.

I really hope the standard New 3DS is still going to happen in North America. I'm just not a fan of the XL systems, it's too big for me and I thought the faceplates would be a fun idea.

I was excited for this, but hearing that only the XL model is coming to US, I was extremely disappointed as I wanted the standard size. I don't mind NOA changing the color of buttons to the american SNES ones and possibly making most faceplates available on the online store, but this...no. Disappointed to the bone, I am.

I don't have anything against the XL models, but I wanted the standard-sized New 3DS so that it would fit in my pocket nicely and I can take it out conveniently by just reaching into the pocket and play.

@rjejr I was actually considering the Tab 4... Now that I know it has a mono speaker, I'll pass. I'm more keen on the Tab S series anyhow, which I believe have the stereo speakers. That or the Note Pro 12.2... Though I'm tempted to wait until the MWC in March to see if Samsung have any new tablets on the horizon before I pull the trigger on getting a new tablet. This is way off topic, but what can I say? I like talking tech. Haha

EDIT: by the way, I don't think that's petty at all. Gotta go where best your preferences are met, right?

@FeedingTheWheel Yes.

But I am exited about the New Wii feature on the Wii U. I wonder if they can customize the controller for most games or only a few. Maybe I need to watch that part again

Guys - I'm not sure if they've already sold out, but if you are trying to get the MM New 3DS XL, go to a GameStop if you can. I successfully got a web order in store as I see others have as well. When I did this, the consumer-facing website was already not letting me buy it. All hope may not be lost if you're still in the market. Good luck!

Gonna hold off for the smaller version.

Do the new 3DS XL systems in NA work with Kisekae plates? If we get one of the special 3DS' with the MH4U or MM design, are those just plates? Can we change them later?

No small model, no sale if i cant fit it in my pocket it does me no good. Forgive me if i dont want a portable system everyone can see from space.

No coolaggro those are the same as the XL's are now they cannot be changed only the regular New 3DS has faceplates

@polooza87
Wear bigger pants. I have no problem at all carrying around my 3DS XL and I wear skinny jeans. Are you a toddler by chance?

I feel like a kid who was promised that he can go to disney world but then parents said instead we are taking you to the local amusement park instead.

I was so looking forward to using the New 3DS...I used to love my Pikachu XL but now really its just too big. I was given a New 3DS to review at the Japanese launch and I have gown to really love the size of the system as well being able to change the look of it at will. I only have 2 games on it, as all my other games are on my XL (around 30+) I just feel completely let down.

@GunplaGamer cool thanks

My Pikachu XL is an US console.

Europe's going to get both sizes and the MM console includes the game!
Go figure.

BTW, where can I pre-order the European version console??

Thanks, but oh, why no MM version... -___-

It looks like EB Games Canada website is allowing pre-orders (for the MM and MH4U editions) when you click the Pre-order button on the main page then add to cart directly from there. If you go to the actual product page it says out of stock.

I'm gonna get the Majora's Mask one, if possible. Looks really rad and totally reminds me of the OoT N64 cover.
I think the "normal" New 3DS will come to the U.S. as well, heck why wouldn't it?

@Punished_Boss_84 - Nice Joey.

Preordered the Zelda one, can't wait for February 13th!

@FritzFrapp Wonder why they don't have the special editions?
Just pre-ordered the XL in blue.
Who are cheaper?

Lastly does the XL have changeable facias?

Well it seems gamestop isnt taking preorders in the US right now for the MM 3ds. I'm not sure how i feel about that right now.

@FritzFrapp Thanks. Have you found any UK retailers selling the Special editions for the XL?

@Sir_JBizzle - Yeah the mono speaker is really weak, even for casual games like FB it's almost useless. But I got mine near launch for my birthday new for $145 w/ 6 months 0% financing so I bit. And my kids having my old 1 means I never have to share. Oh, and my mom bought my brother-in-law a new Amazon Fire 7 HD, man is that thing heavy, bulky, square and ugly, worse than my wife's ral old Nook HD,made me feel much better. And Google only redid 8, 9 and 10", no 7", so I was spared that comparison. But wait for lolipop installed before buying something, probably your best bet.

OK, next post will be on topic

@freaksloan Same here, 43 and playing games on a handheld (XL so I don't get cramp), and proud of it 😃

Wait, so Europe is getting the attractive Blue XL and we in NA are getting the ugly Red one? Dammit.

@FritzFrapp Oh well I'll be monitoring the game site throughout the night just in case they update their site. Don't want to miss out on the majoras mask edition if I can be quick enough.

@rjejr That's a pretty good theory. It would be odd if Nintendo didn't release the smaller version at all.

I won't be in any kind of hurry now. I'd rather have the smaller one—I have both the regular and XL 3DS, but I like the smaller one better. And I don't have small hands. The size just feels less bulky to me. But with the colour choices out now and no limited editions that interest me, well, I guess I can wait it out and see if the regular one ever shows up here.

@rjejr

I know you realise that liking/disliking things is subjective. I love the 2014 fire hd 7. Mine's neither square nor ugly, tho it is a bit heavy.

I was excited until I realized the scalpers will buy up every single one in the first 10 minutes. Seriously, what's the point? Anything Nintendo releases lately in limited quantities is virtually impossible to get your hands on lately.

Oh look, it's out of stock already on gamestop. What a surprise!! Looks like I'll have to pay 500.00+ on ebay if I want one. Thanks Nintendo!!

Oh my god oh my god oh my god! I need to know when I can preorder that MM 3DSXL and the new amiibos!! Need lucina and ness in my life!

@Great_Gonzalez Sorry but apparently they're already all sold out and up on ebay. Good luck getting one.

i had just bought 2 3ds xl's before the 'new' 3ds was announced, what a shame, id love to get my hands on the new new 3ds xl but i just cant, maybe next year when they will be on sale...

Actually my wife just pre-ordered a MM 3DS at the local EB. Phew!

NOA you blew it! Honestly you have to be sooo boring all the time!

@k8sMum - Yeah, I know it's subjective, but I like my Tab 4, it's so shiny

And the square part was in reference to the side edges, they felt squared off to me, my Tab 4 is more rounded. I have very small effeminate hands for a man, the Fire was over whelming. Though basically the same as my Tab 2. times change.

Ugh... damnit. I don't... WANT to buy one or even be tempted to get one that soon, Nintendo. The better viewing angle, 2nd analog, headphone jack in the middle, faster processing is calling my name. THIS is the 3DS I've TRULY been waiting for. Must... resist... temptation... for part of the year..... [cries in corner]

Gamestops seem to all be sold out on the Majora edition, but a call to NintendoWorldStore and ToysRUs indicates that those two stores at least aren't taking pre-orders for it until tomorrow. So I have a feeling it will be obtainable despite the quick gamestop sell out.

I think the logic of releasing the N3DSXL first (or making it the sole option) in America is because the XL outsold the regular by a bigger margin than in other territories.

Darn! Now i feel cheated with my Ambassador edition. Not really, but that MM edition does look very very nice and tempting. Anyone want to buy one of my kidneys?

It's time to save up money between this along with Majora's Mask 3D, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. This is turning out to be a great start to 2015 for Nintendo. I'm also noticing that the New 3DS XL seems to be promoting console-quality games on the go, which is a good thing in my book.

@Refurin I'm not giving up hope at all. My GameStop says they haven't been able to do store-level pre-orders just yet, which is good for me since I get paid Friday and am currently broke.

That said, if they do sell out, this isn't an exclusive model. Walmart, Best Buy, Toys R Us, and Target are almost certainly going to get some stock in, and I plan to be at Walmart as soon as the clock strikes midnight on that Thursday night/Friday morning. I am lucky enough to live in a fairly... how do you put this... "redneck" part of the country, so I should one way or another be able to get my hands on one. My wife deserves it. She never asks for anything, but she is so excited for this 3DS. I HAVE to get one.

@Akira_1975
I'm from england where luckily nintendo isn't too popular.. no amiibos or MM 3DS are even available to preorder yet.

No charging cable Nintendo? Seriously? What's wrong with you?

If you think people already have one, those same people (who may own an original 3DS/3DS XL) would probably prefer you release a REAL new handheld, and not a generation 1.5, barely noteworthy improvement.

All in all, I thought it was pretty good. Glad to see more Splatoon info. A bit upset about no standard size New 3DS confirmation and no chargers included, but I'll live. I'll probably skip the N3DS and wait for the next one.

What did surprise me was how amazing Xenoblade Chronicles X was and Wii games for download on Wii U. I missed out on Mario Galaxy, so I'll be scooping that up right away! Wish I'd waited for Prime Trilogy, but I have the first two on GCN and recently got Corruption.

So Nintendo hasn't even put the MM New 3DS XL bundle up on the UK store yet? I NEED THAT THING.....

Anybody know where I can pre-order the Majora's Mask N3DSXL bundle? The gamestop here sold out in 30 minutes! Preferably a place that can ship it over to me. It's cause I don't know any other place that will sell it and is in San Francisco as well...

@VictoryStar06 I had a similar situation when I bought a 3dsxl with mariokart7 installed on the console, and needed to transfer my stuff from my little 3ds. So I did and I was able to download mariokart7 for free via eshop. So im guessing that's what you'll be able to do with Zelda.

@Thecoolmana777 Game tweeted that they won't be selling the MM one :S

@FritzFrapp the only excercise i get is Wii Sports and i don't drink but i do smoke plenty of greens. perhaps my kidney isn't a "prime cut"

I wonder if the Amiibo stock/shelf space issue cause NOA to scrape the small version of the 3DS. Where would they put the faceplates? It might be a tough sell to stores to have 2 big displays for amiibo and faceplates.

@emiingham what?!? thats not what the guys in store said!?!?!

@Thecoolmana777 I was watching their twitter hoping to find out when pre-orders would go up but they started tweeting to people that they wouldn't be getting it: https://twitter.com/GAMEdigital/status/555419121257824256

I hope they reconsider and release BOTH of the new 3DS models, otherwise I guess Nintendo just came up with an excuse for me to just hang onto my original 3DS and not buy a new system from them...

So disappointed I wanted the smaller version for portability, I'll wait hoping in the future it'll be released.

@emiingham I went in store earlier where they took a £20 deposit specifically for the MM version!?! Oh dear

Not announcing the smaller model feels deflating. I actually do not even feel like buying Majora's Mask now. Xenoblade is now out of the question too.

So do the bundles come with physical copies of the games or digital ones? Thinking of getting the MM one...

@rishisquid The European MM console does but the US doesn't.

@emiingham So, for US, will it be a download code or pre-installed?

@rishisquid The US one doesn't come with the game at all :/

@emiingham Whaaaaaa? I guess I'll just get the cheaper normal model then...

@emiingham Wait, in the article it says: "both will have their respective games bundled and have a recommended price of $229.99 in the US."

@russellohh Of course I have a spare. But then I have to order another one in order to still have one plus a spare. So I think you're missing the point.

In any case, I was planning to get this with my tax refund, but now that NA isn't getting the standard model, NOA isn't getting my money. Poor decision.

@scheherezade11 "goes on Amazon, clicks purchase history, clicks "buy another" on 3ds charger" clicks confirm.
11 seconds of my life gone!
In an hour i'll forget this ever happened.

I was so psyched for the New 3DS. It was a day one purchase for me. But now I find out that only the New 3DS XL will be available. Thanks for kicking me in the gonads Nintendo. Really appreciated it.

I want that red 3DS XL. Shucks that basic N3DS isn't offered as I like small devices, but oh well, I've been gaming on the 3DS XL for a year and a half, so no big deal.
And no charger. If I were still in my previous home, I'd appreciate it, but now... huge sigh
It is weird that Nintendo isn't offering the basic in NA(and no, it cannot be because of sales as Europe is getting the basic model)...

I would be on board if I could trade my 3ds XL in towards the cost of this. Unfortunately I have hundreds of dollars in digital purchases so I'm stuck with the old hardware. I really wish the Nintendo ID worked like an Apple ID or PSN ID where I could sign in and get my stuff back when I upgrade.

@Sir_JBizzle
Yeah it needs to be done during the same session as you will be switching off between them a couple time

Looks like I may hold out on buying a new 3DS after all, if I bother(will have to see later releases). Why couldn't they at least given us an Ambassador option, so they wouldn't have to pump out to the masses if they so chose not to? Can't even bother importing one because titles won't be compatible due to region lock, etc.

This really sucks because it is the one I have been wanting for the face plates, etc.(it also seems to be a sweet spot in screen size). I'm really not that interested in the pixel-y-ness of the XL, so eh. :-l

Loved the direct but this was disappointment.

@Spoony I never understood the whole 'can't fit in your pocket thing, unless you either have no pockets or are wearing super tight pants/skinny jeans. I wear regular sized jeans and stuff and have even gotten my 2DS into a pocket(though that is a little snug and won't happen regularly ofc).

Speaking of 2DS though, I wonder why people are so against it. I personally feel the 2DS design is far superior than the 3DS. If the 2DS had the same design as now, but with 3D and the bits of the 3DS, I'd snap that up in a heartbeat. I do not care for the clamshell design, particularly after how comfortable it is to use my 2DS.

Rather tempting to get the Majora's Mask bundle.

I think Nintendo will release the New 3DS... later on. This is kinda too strange.

@rishisquid
The Monster Hunter comes with the game, but Majora's Mask system does not in the US. In Europe both have the game.

@darthllamma Thanks, now I might snag dat Monster Hunter one...

GAME.co.uk is already taking in pre orders for the nn3ds standard and XL. But no bundles yet

Special editions, ac adapters, micro sd cards, regardless Nintendo will get my $$$$$!

Majora new 3ds sold out at my gamestop. T.T

That Zelda edition is already going for over $350 and more on eBay.

I'm not surprised that there is no charger. Other regions have done the same thing for longer so it was only a matter of time. It's a little underhanded way of adding to the base cost of the system though for those who don't have a spare.

And I'm quite stunned that the smaller model with Faceplates isn't coming to NA. Very disappointed in an otherwise solid Direct.

Unless they release the regular New 3DS here in Canada, Nintendo lost me as a customer. I've no interest in the XL and I said from the start I wanted the colored buttons and faceplates. Really disappointed in them. I might still get Monster Hunter to support Capcom and thank them for releasing it but I'm not sure yet.

I've had my new 3ds XL since 1st Dec as my sis sent it over from oz and I'll tell you too upgrade as the 3d is perfect now plus the screen have better colour very vivid good blacks the speed and WiFi shows a lot more power init so I think a lot of great games will nowrelease on it .PS will be getting a UK one too for the warranty lololololol

@Ps4all There actually is a way(think because there actually is a link now with NNID and stuff), but it's a bit of a hassle and it appears you lose your saves and plaza puzzles, etc., so likely isn't worth it if you have a ton of stuff.

As for the trade in, it might depend on your employees but, when I traded one of my old in before at a nearby town's GS, they let me buy the new system for the trade-in difference and allowed me to transfer my stuff but I ofc had to do a transfer while at the store(so you'd need internet access obviously). It probably was a rarer exception and who knows if I could do it again, but there are some people like that out there.

Wait does the Majora's Mask N3DSXL actually come with the game? Because all of the ones I've seen online say it doesn't come with the game and that they're already sold out.

@fishman100
No the game isn't included

@darthllama

I guess there was an error in the article then. Bummer.

Hopefully they'll release a version of the 3DS with the game pre-installed.

Yes it is preloaded in the special edition

@OthersNotWantingTheXL Nice to see a good amount of others feel the disappointment that is the lack of the basic size.

Good luck trying to find either of these. My Gamestop said they sold out of both in about 13 minutes this morning.

I wanted to buy the smaller size white version.
I really don't get it, NOA is just plain irrational, stupid and stubborn, they simply don't care about the customer.

@fmfsony
My sentiments exactly.

I do want a new 3DS because the battery in mine is crap at this point, and I want an XL. Plus if there is no trade-in deal I can give mine to a friend. But I still use my original DS so I do not buy things unless I have a reason to and crappier looking Wii game that I already spent $80 dollars on is not a reason. The Majora's Mask one looks so cool though (I am sure this will be available a year later). And I can still get the Skull Kid figurine if they ever have more pre-orders like for Ganondorf. Opinion of the people here?

$229.99 in Canada. Went to EB Games after work and inquired about the Majora's Mask edition, they said they sold out in an hour.

Probably for the better I get the standard black version. I'd be less likely to want to take a special edition with me anywhere. I'll probably go through Amazon and use the gift cards I got for Christmas.

Both the MM and MH New 3DS XL look great, but I'm preferring the design of the Monster Hunter one. I'm now very tempted to get one

Am I the only one that's getting the Monster Hunter n3ds xl bundle just because it's the best looking one out of all of them?! The red and the MM just look plain bad in my opinion. And the black one is just boring. This will be my first monster hunter so I hope I can get into the series.

Man Nintendo really let me down. I wanted a New 2DS...I mean imagine having 3d face tracking minus the 3d...

@Mommar THANK YOU! I don't care about the small n3ds at all unlike EVERYONE ELSE here, but why aren't we getting the blue xl?? Literally makes no sense. I guess I could go for black, but its just not the same as that sexy blue.

I'm not upset about the fact that NA doesn't get the regular size except that all of the XL options are so... Masculine. If we got a white one or even a brighter, more vibrant red I'd be all over it. But I just really don't like how dark and masculine they all look :/

Debated too long with MM edition in my cart at GameStop and missed out on it but just scored it at Best Buy online. Now the hard part, waiting.

I had intended to get a N3DS, but if I'm forced to only choose an XL, I'll have to pass due to unfortunate pocketspace and personal preference, which makes me upset as a consumer.

As a person from Canada who doesn't currently own an 3DS or anything and was waiting for the New 3DS to jump into 3DS again, I was initially very excited, and now I'm just disappointed, yet again -_-

They're not bringing the smaller New 3DS models over here, which is what I wanted, they got the listed price for just the system at $229.99/ $259.99 for the Monster Hunter 4 bundle is too high of a price, and just to put a dab more of stupidity into a high MSRP for the system, the frickin' thing doesn't come with a ac adapter which will cost an extra $15-20!!!! >< Stupid move Nintendo, VERY stupid move, I could forgive the price and that, but not adding a ac adapter is pure stupidity.

So for this new system, I would need to pay $229.99 + $40 for a game + $15 for a ac adapter (added together, that's $284.99).......all of a sudden the Wii U looks like a steal

WTF sold out to Least coasters... This is redickulous

I have no money!No!!

i want that golden royal delight with me nowww

Yep, just bought the Majoras mask one. Probably won't open it for awhile, as I'm still trying to justify buying this with myself, as I already have an original XL, and I had just spent eighty bucks on the freaking Majora's Mask 3D bundle not a week ago.

To much money was spent by me this month, not buying anything else for awhile, my wallet is crying for nourishment.

Edit: The one I bought isn't a bundle though, and it was only $199.00 not $229.00

@swampertdude
Here's the thing. I don't want the oversized version at all. But if I were going to have to buy one I'd buy the blue one because I prefer that color. NOA has not only screwed over all of the fans waiting for the smaller version but they've also done a fine job screwing over the fans who were looking forward to the Blue XL. The only one I feel looks decent is the Monster Hunter 4 version, and that costs more because it comes with a game I'll never play. All around NOA has given me zero reasons to want this. As a matter of fact I was counting down the minutes to February 13th... now I don't give a single squat about their dumb device.

@abbyhitter agreed. I'm gonna go ahead and pick up an extra, just in case Nintendo faces a convenient shortage in February lol.

Guess the regular new 3ds will be out at christmas 2015. I don't think they want a face-plate problem like the amiibo issues. Will Nintendo sell that little screw-driver needed to change the plate and access to the micro sd card?

Welp, for a second there I thought I would have to choose between the N3DS or going for the card I want in LLSIF but it looks like Nintendo made the decision for me. Only interested in the smaller model so if it doesn't make it over here then I won't be upgrading.

As much as I want that amazing looking Majora's Mask XL, it doesn't even come with the game and it is $230 here in Canada. Guess I'll wait until (hopefully) the mini new 3ds comes out.

F'ing stupid that it doesn't come with a charger. I don't have a spare because I pay good money for these products and I make sure any accessories that are essential (like a charger) are in places where I'm not going to lose them. What about people who may not have a 3DS at all and this is their first one? I'm still going to get the New 3DS XL and it's still an exciting product but this is a scumbag move.

i just want the candy rainbow button japanese model.white with red yellow green and blue button.. pleeease bring that to usa by next fall.

@rjejr LOL I'd hate to be Frieza right now...

@FritzFrapp Lol the way you talk is funny. I always pictured you as some fancy guy with a monocle sipping tea when reading one of your comments.

Apparently the Majora's mask one is sold out. If Nintendo doesn't up the supply I'll be beyond disappointed.

And... it sold out... cool... something that I was actually going to buy... :/

I've been waiting for this because I wanted an XL, but Majora's Mask doesn't even come with it? Come on...

I honestly wanna cry, considering this is my favorite Zelda game and one of my favorite games in general, and it's probably the only time it'll get a limited edition console... And I can't find one anywhere. And GameStop basically says, "if you didn't come this afternoon to get it then you're an idiot." When I couldn't until tonight... Now thanks to scalpers... sigh

I'm selling my Link Between Worlds 3DS XL to afford this new Majora's Mask 3DS XL!! I love the space gray interior opposed to all Gold, and the upgrade in hardware will last me many years in gaming. Take my money!! I just wish it didn't sell out online. :/

I'm so annoyed at Nintendo! First, I finally upgraded to an XL a while back. Acually just a few days before they announced the Link Between Worlds 3Ds. But I'm not still bitter about that...
Then I see that awesome white Japnese model with those magic buttons. I just knew it would be mine! But no, Nintendo pulled yet another duck move.
And just to rub salt in the wound, the Majora's Mask version apparently has such limited stock that it was gone before my rage could subside and I had a chance to consider if I even wanted one. So I guess I should be thankful as I am trying to save my money, and Nintendo's Direct today has made that much easier. Now I can keep my worn out Pink XL, and I won't have to buy yet another copy of Xenoblade since I won't be able to play it.
And really, why should I buy Majora's Mask again anyway? I've bought that twice already, on N64 and Wii.
Not even Monster Hunter 4 can cheer me up now.

Anyone know if the Nintendo UK online store has had the MM Special Edition New 3DS XL go up yet?

@Tristendo Don't sell it. The Majora's Mask and Monster Hunter bundle are all sold out everywhere. You'll have to get a regular XL black or red. Is that worth selling a collector's piece for?

Game.co.uk now have the Monster Hunter 4 bundle on their site for £209.
No sight of the Majoras Mask bundle. In fact I can't find a single UK online retailer selling the MM version.

I already have a limited edition Ocarina of Time 3DS, so I'm just fine;)

@FritzFrapp Ah that would explain that then. Well I've pre ordered the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate bundle and used my reward credit which bought the cost down below the normal version.
At least I'll get one of the limited editions. Plus I've allready have the Majoras Mask Special Edition on Pre order so I think I have the best of both worlds. 😄

MM edition has the game preinstalled. Who says it is not?

CDON seems to be here the only one who as it available, for wonderful 299.95e price!

Of course that site is known for slapping items there for sale with made up price and then they fix it when they actually know what's the price. Today's Xl seems to cost there from 190e to 200e.

And the basic black model seems to cost 230e

@FritzFrapp Yes I agree. I'll stick with what I've got I think. At least I could use my saved reward points to bring the price down. Nintendo store is top price, no rewards and money taken from your account immediately pre order placed.

Question is if i should ge tthe Regular one or the XL one.. im still using a launch day 3DS, and it seems the Regular New one is gonna be slightly larger which is nice. Not sure i like the giant size of the XL. Also them Faceplates!

@IAmDeclanJay So you just system transfered and could download mario kart 7 from the 3ds xl. You didn't have to contact Nintendo.

The system not launching with charger is alright with me but to others Nintendo better hope they don't make the charger proprietary (meaning no different from the ones we already got for 3DS and DSi) otherwise consumers would be pissed. You cannot imagine how pissed I was when I got all these Game Boy Micro, DS, DS Lite, and DSi and they all had different proprietary charging adapter. Should had just used the ones that debut back in 2003 with the GBA SP but no they had to continue selling different ones and requiring different ones so we can continue giving them money, just ridiculous.

@FritzFrapp Yes I've seen it, and I started the pre-order, but then thought I'm just being greedy as I got a good deal on the MH4 bundle with the money off using my reward card. Plus I would have to cancel the Majoras Mask Special edition I have ordered.. Once I thought about it I don't need the charger as I have two plus a XL cradle already. Did i want the figurine? No as I'd rather have the SE extras (now if it was an amiibo then that would have been different).
For a few minutes I thought about buying it to sell it on for profit but I would be a hypocrite if I did this. So I abandoned the pre-order.
They are now sold out so no regrets. 😀

@Lalivero That's awesome! I'm going to ask my local gamestop folks, They are always super nice so I hope I can do the same. Too bad the Majoras Mask edition sold out, but the red looks really nice!

Well I'm glad I am NOT a Zelda fan at ALL. I just want to be able to pre-order my beautiful Metallic Blue and name her Stormfly. I have saved up for years. I've ALWAYS wanted an XL!! When is Metallic Blue going to be out for pre-order? Does anyone know??
