Lego Spy Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I assume some people are still interested, so I thought I'd give the thread a little bump. Thoughts on upcoming games? Opinions on Club Nintendo shutting down? Also, in case anyone's interested, I have a Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo download code for the 3DS I'm willing to give away. PM me if you'd like it.

PenPlays Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Seeing all of the wonderful videos of Majora's Mask 3D is making me misty eyed. It is just too beautiful for words. Hoping to buy a *New* 3DS day one (please, Nintendo, fire every member of your marketing staff. They deserve spankings for how juvenile their "work" has been). I'm am now slightly interested in Codename S.T.E.A.M. with all of the extra goodies it comes with. I wish Nintendo would spread more Amiibo love to America. The Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager Amiibo have never felt so impossible to find. Don't get me started on the Pit Amiibo that I seriously can't live without. I missed tonight's pre-orders on the Pit Amiibo's second release at Gamestop, and I'm not a very happy camper at all right now. February 1st is going to be hell if Nintendo doesn't over stock Best Buy and Target. I missed Rosalina and Meta Knight. I have not regretted a pre-order choice ever before. There's always a first, and a second for that matter. Now that I think about it, I should probably pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles 3D while I'm at it... Can't wait for the 29th when Metroid Prime Trilogy will be $10 on the Wii U e-shop! Quote
incomplet Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I got the new 3DS when it was released; i actually still have the original gameboy as well. I much prefer the Zelda series; however not too much of a fan of the Lego games unfortunately Quote
PenPlays Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Regarding the third wave of Amiibo: Very excited to hear that the Lucario will be in well supply at Toys R Us this Friday. The excitement doesn't stop there. Rosalina will be well stocked on the 1st of February at Target stores. Word has been getting out that most stores are getting at least 20 (includes those being picked up for pre-ordering). Sheik, Bowser and Toon Link have also had their street dates broken. I own all three of them thanks to Toys R Us. Target has no street date for Sheik. She is an uncommon figure, as most stores are only receiving only four figures with the initial shipment. Ike, Dedede, Sonic, Mega Man, and Shulk are due around the 13th of February. The only wildcard is Meta Knight. Pre-orders were up for the longest out of all of the store exclusives. However, Best Buy still has a street date for December 31st of 2015! Apparently they are being shipped out, but only enough to fill pre-orders. It's a real shame if they don't receive enough to meet demand. What's worse is that I missed the pre-orders for him. And he's the Amiibo I wanted the most from this wave! So difficult. Nintendo really needs to step up their game here in the US. We are dry as a bone whereas Europe has enough rare Amiibo to populate Rhode Island! Note: This is all referring to the US schedule of releases. Quote
Lego Spy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I'm contemplating buying the Lucario amiibo this week, as he is one of my mains in SSB4. Also, Club Nintendo is under maintenance! Scratch that. It's not. It's overloaded with people. Get on there quick! I have 930 coins. I can get something good... Last edit: Picked up the mini Animal Crossing Playing Cards! Edited February 2, 2015 by Lego Spy Quote
Ultron Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Everything is going to be gone by the time I can get access Quote
Lego Spy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Keep refreshing the page! It should work eventually It's not down for maintenance, there's just too many people online. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) It stinks that I don't have a Club Nintendo account. I really, really, REALLY want Wonderful 101. That Fierce Deity jigsaw puzzle isn't half bad either... In Amiibo news: Apparently the Super Mario Series is going to be common. All six of them. (Like Mario's Smash Amiibo) Rosalina and Luma are not going to get physically restocked at Target locations. She's my favorite Amiibo that I own, however...preciousssssss Ike, King Dedede (or King Deedle, as they referred to him), Sonic, and Megaman will not be stocked at Target Stores. Gamestop's online preorders, for Ike, Dedede, and Shulk are getting charged. In-store pre-orders shall be arriving for those three throughout the next two weeks. Sheik* (who is rare) and Toon Link* (Diddy Kong common) will be shipped to stores by the end of this week. Bowser (who is common) is available everywhere. Shulk will only be available for those who pre-ordered him. *These two are available now everywhere else Lucario has been a wild card when it comes to availability. Some stores had only enough for pre-orders (like mine did. Yay for pre-order cards!) while others had plenty on the shelf to put Zelda to shame. Orders are being shipped after a delay on Toys R Us' online site. Sonic and Megaman are due out everywhere around the 20th. Meta Knight still has no official release date on Best Buy's website (still has the December 31st, 2015 placeholder). Stores have no idea when they will be receiving him, or how many they will have. Nintendo is legally required to show which day the figures are "printed." Meta Knight was "printed" at the same time as Sonic, leading some people to believe that he will show up somewhere around Sonic and Megaman's release date. Still no pre-orders for Wave 4 of the Smash Amiibo. F.Y.E. is taking pre-orders, but they have no idea if they are receiving any. Edited February 3, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
obsidianheart Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Pre-ordered Shulk a whiiiiiile back. Got charged for him yesterday. Haven't gotten any kind of confirmation e-mail, but I'm excited all the same. I preordered him because it's Shulk, not because of the functionality. Although I suppose I can see what he does with Hyrule Warriors. Quote
Ultron Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 So Majora's Mask comes out in less than two weeks but Best Buy still has the placeholder date on the website and at the store. Are they still gonna get it on the 13th? Quote
Lego Spy Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Alright, I have 325 coins left, and I'm not sure about which downloadable game to get. My picks at the moment are Super Metroid, Earthbound, Fluidity: Spin Cycle, and Dillon's Rolling Western (+ The Last Ranger). Which of these games would you guys suggest? Also, I hope I can eventually get a Lucario amiibo... Quote

PenPlays Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Earthbound, definitely. I'd say the same, but Super Metroid is fantastic as well. Now that I think about it, everyone should spend their coins on Kid Icarus Uprising. Definitely one of the best games in the past five years. Quote

Lego Spy Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Got Earthbound, and although I've only played a few minutes so far, I can tell its going to be good. That music though. It keeps you on edge. Quote
obsidianheart Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I was going to get Wonderful 101, but I don't have enough space on the built-in drive, and I'm not really keen on getting an external HD yet. I've got a bit, I'll figure something out. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Wait, Sheik is rare? In the US at least... as of right now... Some people have been reporting that some stores are getting restocks. We'll have to wait and see. Around the 13th is when we should hopefully have our answer. Quote
Lego Spy Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I saw 7-8 in a TRU yesterday. I didn't buy one. I'm not happy. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 I saw 7-8 in a TRU yesterday. I didn't buy one. I'm not happy. Maybe it's a similar situation as Diddy Kong. Diddy started out rare, but then supply met demand, and now he's as common as Zelda. In other news: It features Shulk Amiibo support, as well as a streetpass function that allows you to "buy" in-game models and music. Quote
Lego Spy Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Hmm, good point. I'd rather get Ness anyway. Speaking of which, when will wave 4 be released? (Have to pre-order before they all get snatched up.) Quote
PenPlays Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Hmm, good point. I'd rather get Ness anyway. Speaking of which, when will wave 4 be released? (Have to pre-order before they all get snatched up.) There are no dates besides spring. The Super Mario Amiibo are up for pre-order, the most difficult to get being Toad (as his NFC card is the only one that is unique to the first wave of the Super Mario Amiibo) Ness should be purchased first thing. Earthbound fans will pre-order the heck out of him. It is for that reason that resellers will also be an issue. Lucina and Robin as well due to the whole Marth incident... In fact, I'd preorder every single wave 4 Amiibo the moment they go up. I have to worry about multiples, because my brother is in on collecting his mains. I hope I don't miss my opportunity with Ness. Are you trying to get your mains, Lego Spy? Or are you trying to collect one of each (like myself). Another question: Do you display them in box, or do you use them with Smash? (I'm the latter, but I display them on my dresser when they aren't in use) Quote
Ultron Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Netflix is developing a live action Legend of Zelda series! Here's hoping it works out! Quote
PenPlays Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Netflix is developing a live action Legend of Zelda series! Here's hoping it works out! This is what all true warriors strive for! ... I'm sorry. This Netflix series could go in two directions. or To be honest, I could go for too, but that doesn't sound like the direction they are going. Edited February 7, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
