Yeah, Nintendo of America have been holding back on all the awesome limited editions and preorder bonuses. Hopefully we'll get this limited edition.
I'm going to stray off topic a little here, since Europe's exclusive stuff got me thinking about it. It's nice to hear that Nintendo has been more interested in getting rid of the region locking lately. I'm not sure why they even locked the 3DS though, considering none of their previous handhelds had any region locking.
I hope the special edition comes here, I hate how much Nintendo hates us lol As much of a Zelda fan that I am, I was never a fan of Majora's Mask. I didn't like the time aspect in it at all. I will get this cause I am a collector, but I'll give it another play to see if I like it anymore these days.
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious how much people are freaking out about this? Personally I'm disappointed that there's still no info on Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei.

NINTENDO give the Wii U some love :'(
The only Zelda game I have played was the first one on NES so this would be my opportunity to play the game for the first time.
Yeah big timeThe only Zelda game I have played was the first one on NES so this would be my opportunity to play the game for the first time.
Dang, you are missing out on a lot of great Zelda games lol
Am i the only person on earth genuinely liking the Cd-i nintendo games?
I like how Collectors Editions today are switching to the Steelbooks which look beautiful!
Also is it just me, or does the moon look really weird on the 3DS compared to the N64 version?
Thanks Soera!
This part makes me sad.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Limited Edition Bundle Includes:
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for 3DS
Detailed Skull Kid Figurine
Sounds pretty basic in the swag department. Though for the price, I guess I can't complain!
Thanks Soera!

I agree. It's a bit disappointing, but fairly priced.
I wonder why it is Europe seems to get Nintendo's steelbooks. North America didn't get the Pokemon ORAS steelbooks either. :-\
I thought the same thing about the Ganondorf figure looking very similar. Maybe NOA is going for a villain figure theme or something.Thanks Soera!

I like Steelbooks, but I'll take the figure we're getting over that any day. :) I like that (from the pics at least) it looks like this set will match the Wind Waker HD set nicely. And you can see the figure through the box like the WW set, so I can just leave the figure boxed & take out the game. :)
I probably won't buy it. Nintendo has a bullshit marketing scheme where they remake a game in HD between every new release.
I probably won't buy it. Nintendo has a bullshit marketing scheme where they remake a game in HD between every new release.There's only been one HD remake ( wind waker) for any game in the zelda series, and this majora's mask remake is being done 14 years after the original. Doesn't really seem like a marketing scheme when they re-release most of the older zelda games about 10 years after its original release.

supposedly retailing for $50 for the package sounds good to me!
At the moment, all you can do to pre order it is to walk into a gamestop, and ask a employee to use the web to store option to put in a preorder for you.You pay the full amount, and it gets shipped to your house on release date. I still can't believe how there was such little supply of these LE's, hopefully they'll be able to produce additional quantities.
I must say, I didn't expect this to happen honestly. I'm not one to jump on pre-orders usually. I felt with this one, it's basically a year out and I can worry about paying for it then, so I said what the hell and just pre-ordered. Really sucks they went that quickly. Didn't see that coming at all.
I'm pretty confused though. Isn't the point of pre-ordering to know how much demand there is for your product? I think it's weird they just cut off after a certain amount. It's not like they said these are limited to a certain amount or anything. I also think it's weird that these retailers would know, this far out, how many of them they'll be receiving. I guess maybe I don't understand the market.
I thought it was a lot closer than that? Where did you see that it's not coming until next year? ???

Both Gamestop and Amazon claim December 31, 2015. So basically a year away in my mind.

It's sold out on Gamestop's website, so as far as I know you can't preorder it from them right now period.
As for the release, it's probably out this spring sometime if the Zelda Wii U is likely going to be released later in the year. Gives plenty of time between them.
I believe that you can go to gamestop, ask them to preorder a copy for you, pay the full price, and they place that order and send it to their warehouse so that you can recieve the game on its release date. The reason this seems to work is because there are two piles of pre-orders that gamestop has, one is from ordering it directly online, and the other is from going to the store and pre-ordering a copy. It really doesn't make much sense, but gs does things in the own way.
What is this store in web option?
Is there no other method of getting this?
Majora's Mask 3D is getting a Limited Edition New 3DS XL! It releases on February 13th, alongside the game itself. It looks pretty awesome. Both Europe and North America are going to be getting it, and hopefully Nintendo won't drastically underestimate their demand like they've been doing with the Amiibos and the Limited Edition of Majora's Mask 3D.Here's the European trailer, the North American version shouldn't differ by much

The underestimated the demand again and it's worse than it was for the limited edition of the game lol I went to my Gamestop to get it and the guy said they sold out 2 hours ago, which is only like 2 hours after it was even announced.
Best Buy has the MM system listed right now - dunno how long that will last, and I have been burned by Best Buy more than once recently so I'm not sure how much I trust them but it's better than nothing:

Best Buy is my last chance at it. I got my order through, not sure if it'll stick or not, but we'll see. At least it won't be charged immediately like paying through Gamestop does.

Yeah, me too. I was very busy at work today plus I didn't have my phone with me, so I didn't even get to read the news until I got home. So I'll cross my fingers that the preorder will hold. On the bright side, my issues have all been with in-store pickup and this is shipped, so....
I'm kinda getting excited to play MM again. :) I haven't played it since it first came out, and technically I never beat it. Or I did, but I didn't see the ending? I beat it and was in the stretch to the end (had beaten the boss & was going to the end) when I realized I missed one mask. I stopped then & was going to reload a save & get it before I finished the game...but I never did for whatever reason. :-\

I probably played less than a third of the game. At the time when I originally played it on the N64, I didn't like it. I LOVED Ocarina of Time and while it still shares in that goodness, I kinda hated the setup and the time aspect to it, I thought it really ruined the game. With this, I'm gonna see if I feel the same about it.
I hear a rumor that there may be more MM 3DS XLs available for web-in-store purchase at Gamestop. Call your Gamestop to see!

Mine was canceled also, so yeah...fucking great. I appreciate giving me 50 bucks to put towards a regular one, but I'm still really annoyed at the mess Nintendo has caused lately. I know they are simply underestimating their stock and playing it incredibly safe, but you combine that with all the scalpers that fucking everyone over, and it creates a disaster.
I don't see how a company can do that. You actually give them money to preorder something to guarantee that you get one and they turn around and say to bad, we actually sold to many pre orders? like wtf. I would be calling head office and giving them a piece of my mind.
So... yeah best buy wants me to take a survey for my cancelled pre order
So... yeah best buy wants me to take a survey for my cancelled pre order
What are the questions going to be
"Will you preorder with us again"
"On a scale 1-10 how happy are we cancelled your pre order"
lol
Just curious, but you guys that got canceled only ordered one, right? I ask because someone told me late last week that they were canceling any order that had 2 or more in them but it seems like they moved on from that. :-\
