Title: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Post by: abe on November 05, 2014, 05:55:27 pm
So, now that this is actually a thing... what are your thoughts on the subject? So far, Europe has a pretty cool limited edition announced. I'm excited. If they improve on the save system from the original, this very well be my new favorite Zelda game.

I'm pretty excited! I didn't enjoy it as I should have back when I was a kid. I tried playing it on the Gamecube with the Collector's Edition, but my Gamecube is one of the editions that crash randomly while playing it, so I haven't played it much. I'll finally be able to play it for real!

And I want that collector's edition so freaking much... I hope that Nintendo of America won't give us the cold shoulder again, as usual lately.

Why Nintendo of America WHY

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.

They started the handheld locking with the DSi, actually. Though that still doesn't explain why they did it  :-\

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.

Majora's Mask is my least favorite too for that same reason, I would love to have this though. I don't know if I will keep it sealed or not

Well, it does seem a bit exaggerated just for a port, but you have to know that people have been asking for this ever since Ocarina of Time 3D (so almost since the 3DS' launch). Also, Nintendo has been a tease about it (last year's club Nintendo reward was Majora's Mask soundtrack, the mask can be seen in an obvious location you have to visit often in A Link Between Worlds, and so on), so people were hyped from their hopes.

And I'm also disappointed on no info for FE X SMT, though.

Eh, FE X SMT info would have been nice, but they showed new Xenoblade footage so honestly they could have shown a test pattern for the rest of the show and I wouldn't have cared. ;)

We get the big 3D games, I think the Wii U is getting some love lol I mean, all my favorite games this year are pretty much Wii U games. Not that I wouldn't love to have these better quality versions of the games on Wii U over 3DS.  I barely touch mine cause I dont' like playing on the small screen for too long.

Man that Majora's Mask CE looks great! Here's hoping we get it in the States.

That Nintendo Direct really hyped me up. All the stuff they're doing with the Amiibos is finally selling me on getting more than just one. It's awesome how many games it'll be compatible with. Nintendo is knocking it out of the park now. Good on them.

Looking forward to this, I recently finished the game for the first time this summer and it was great.  Was not in love with the sidequests > dungeons game style, but I really liked the time system and the dark feel of the game.  Hopefully they fix the saving system though. 

Also is it just me, or does the moon look really weird on the 3DS compared to the N64 version?

Nintendo has announced that North America will be getting a Limited Edition of Majora's Mask 3D. This limited edition is going to be different from Europe's LE, as it contains a Skullkid figurine. It will be available from "select retailers" (not sure which retailers yet) and will only cost $49.99 when releases alongside the standard edition.

 Some more info here (http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/06/legend-zelda-majoras-mask-3d-limited-edition-announced/)

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

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 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 thought the same thing about the Ganondorf figure looking very similar. Maybe NOA is going for a villain figure theme or something.

I think the thing I'll miss the most is that sick double-sided poster. I'm a big fan of stuff I can hang on my wall lol. I'll definitely take it over nothing though like we've been becoming accustomed to.

What's bullshit about remakes that people are begging for?  I mean, I wasn't, I'm not a huge Majora's Mask fan and I'd rather it be a Wii U release cause I don't care a ton about handhelds, but I'm interested in giving this a go.

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.

The guy at GS called me late this afternoon - I called earlier asking if they were taking preorders in-store and since he knows me he said he'd call me as soon as they were. Anyway, he tells me that the original listing on GS sold out in 12 mins, but they had just re-listed it bundled w/ the collector's guide. I figure it was best to lock in something & then hope for a better deal (ie, the game by itself) later on. So I put down my preorder.

This was just before I left work - by the time I got home, THAT listing had sold out too.  :o

They didn't have Majora's Mask in the system when I went there today, but they said to pop back in tomorrow as they should be ready.  I'll pop in early afternoon to see how it goes.  Is this a fault of the stores or Nintendo with stuff running out so fast this early? Nintendo already botched things with Amiibo's so I wouldn't put it past them.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Post by: argyle on January 07, 2015, 12:08:46 am
Some ppl get upset when Collector's/Limited Editions are overproduced, but I think some companies are going too far in the opposite direction. Off the top of my head, the Destiny Ghost Ed., Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix CE & now this set are three recent ones that all had their preorders sell out VERY quickly and then went for crazy prices on the aftermarket. I don't know what the solution is - NISA has a great balance of something being limited in the long run but available for a reasonably long enough time for everyone who wants it to get it - then again, the market for their games is considerably smaller than the other three I mentioned.

I think it's safe to say Nintendo is severely underproducing things these days tho. The Amiibos are almost funny at this point, I have yet to see a Captain Falcon in person and for whatever reason Best Buy can't even fulfill my preorder I placed on it - the store has yet to receive any. Which sounds like a production/distribution problem to me, ie Nintendo's problem.

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 can understand something like this selling out quickly within the first week, but not even a day and it's sold out? That's horribly underestimating the market, especially when I feel a lot of folks have been begging Nintendo for this port and for them to actually give us the collectors editions.  We finally get the chance and they are shortchanging us.  Bad move.

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.

Oh - whenever you see a date like that (last day of the year) it's a placeholder date. Just means Nintendo hasn't announced the release date yet. But with packaging art out & now a CE finalized I doubt it will be any later than 2nd quarter of this year (so June at the latest). Probably sooner than that.

I spoke with the bf about preorders with "web to store" option and he said that they're not related to what's available online.  So it's possible that there are still quantities available there.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on January 07, 2015, 03:00:19 pm
You can still get the game at Gamestop in store if you are lucky.  Nintendo seemed to have screwed up again by extremely limiting what stores will actually get them in, but you can do the web in store option there which you have to pay the full amount of the game, but you can get free shipping or pay a reasonable amount for quicker shipping.  I strolled in this afternoon at my local store and got it.

Also fuck the scalpers.  Stuff like this should be limited per person.

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.

Yep, Miyamoto had said at PSX that Majora's Mask would definitely be out before Zelda Wii U (and we figure that'll be out around the holidays... if not sooner).  So I'd estimated sometime in the spring as well.

Sad to see this sold out so quickly :/  I usually don't go for Limited Editions, but this is very reasonably priced and one of my favorite Zelda games.

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.

Best Buy had some additional preorders about two hours ago, but those sold out in 20 minutes.

I gave a call to my local shop and asked my bf about the web to store option.  It sounds like those preorders closed as of 6p last night, so those are not available now either unless they reopen the option in the future :/

Like others said, Best Buy had them available briefly, and there's always the rare chance that Amazon will have more randomly.

I don't believe preorders have opened up for other countries, but that might be an option, ha.

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.

The online listings were gone in the blink of an eye... Luckily, I have a super really awesome friend who was able to order one on Amazon and one at EB Games, so that I could get one of them!  :o

Just created a listing for the system, in case anybody is interested.

Yeah the demand for the LE is ridiculous, and even though it is a LE, there should be limits on how many you can purchase and more of a supply since it is only $50. NoA underestimating of demand is really hurting consumers and its something they need to address.

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:

I am having a hard time understanding why Nintendo has been have been producing such small quantities of stuff lately.  Sure, something like an Ice Climber 2 LE set is not going to sell a lot, but anything Zelda is going to sell easily.  Seriously, who thought that releasing only 300-500 Hyrule Warriors Limited Editions in North America was a good idea?
At this point I am kind of worried that only two Pac-Man Amiibos are going to be produced.

Since my post just started a new page here is an important post from Argyle

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.

Yeah, I was just telling my wife last night how I'm the opposite of just about every other Zelda fan on the planet. :P I hated Ocarina, still do, but I adored Majora's. I liked that they did something different with it, and the time/puzzle aspect of it really hooked me. :)

It does seem to be a true.  A local gaming FB group I'm in said that a store told them to tell everyone else they had a few more MM 3DS XL's in stock and to hurry down to get them, so it seems like the initial rush of them went through and now that the numbers are more figured out, they are able to get the rest out there.  Still glad I managed to get mine from Best Buy lol

So I just got an email from paypal saying I was refunded by best buy, I go check my orders and my Majora's Mask 3DS was canceled  >:( I haven't logged in at all since I ordered it. Currently playing the please hold game with customer service trying to figure out what the F*@% is going on.

EDIT; So after a half hour on the phone I get disconnected with no answer only to get an email saying they took in more pre orders then what they are getting and a code for $50 off one of the basic ones. Normally I tend to be calm about stuff, but this is annoying the ever loving piss out of me especially seeing how much Scalpers are trying to make off of this. I hope they're going to be the majority of people who get burnt by this.

My best buy order was cancelled as well, so I'm going to see if I can track down a Gamestop that might still have orders available.

I knew this was a risk of preordering with Best Buy because they have a tendency to not cut things off when they actually sell out of things (maybe to cover failed payments, etc).  If anything, they do seem to like giving out giftcards or discounts for the mistake.

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.

Second person that told me that today lol I could raise a fuss, but I just don't want to and I'm sure tons of other people already have.  Getting angry at them won't get me the handheld I want.  Almost would've tried to see if I could get the Monster Hunter one, but it's Gamestop only and I'd rather just get 50 bucks off a New 3DS, save myself some money.
