Nintendo, You Have a Very Serious Problem.

You might want to know that Nintendo of Europe has been giving away Skull Kid statues like candy for those in Europe/UK who purchased 1 or more of their Nintendo New 3DS plus Zelda 3DS stuff.

I bet some Zelda hardcore fan has 5 Skull Kid statues all for himself.

But there's one con: No premium box.

The only thing that makes me furious is the limited amount of the N3DS Bundles and the fact that console transfer is so horrible. The Mh4U bundle would be perfect for me but it sold out so fast.
If Nintendo had invested on a working account system earlier we could simply unbound the account on one 3DS and log in on the other, you know like you do with the PS Vita, but not even that, they hat to lock the transfer feature for 7 days after used for some reason. So if you have a 3DSXL and your bother your old regular 3DS and you buy a N3DSXL, transfer your account, your brother has to wait a week before being able to transfer his account from regular 3DS to 3DSXL. It's 2015 we shouldn't have BS like that. Games shouldn't be tied to machine they should be tied to an account! Oh yeah and their systems are still region locked (although less of an issue thanks to regionthree).

Gamecube adapters man, more rare than rocking horse shit some say....

The've started shipping again, Amazon France is clearing back orders (that were made in December) customers should receive them anytime now ...Nippon Yasan now have some in stock, at a not so stupid price ...and there about to hit stores / online sometime in March, so there not so rare anymore!

Amazon France had it for 19€ which is a reasonable price but for sellers charging £30-40 is just too much as Mayflash's GameCube adapter does the same and only costs £15 (or less if you use Flubit).

I just hate things like the golden mario amiibo not being available here (i guess?) and all those who sell everything on ebay for insane prices. Another thing I really dislike that has nothing to do with the other stuff is for example the Zelda N3DS: where the game comes digitally on the console. I want the game cartridge + case damnit! argh! But then again, I have no chance in hell to even get my hands on one of those N3DS's anyway. so. yeah.

You can get a Gold Mario. Simply pre-order the Mario amiibo from the Super Mario Collection, take the figure out of the box and paint it gold.

For me Nintendo should make keep old DS line more compatible. Like screen should have 2x size of old ds size (512x384 + 640x400) to keep aspect ratio 1:1 and selcectable filters - old sharp 2x pixels or with filters like sai, superEagle + better High Quality 3d graphic we can see on last emulation. The same old games would see great.

 

[almmiron]

Agreed. Nintendo is good, if not best making games, but other than that (consoles, marketing, anythingelse) sucks.

When something is limited edition I'd like the chance to at least buy it before it becomes unavailable like the way it used to be. I'm not going to bust my ass trying to get something that's going to sell out in 30 seconds. If Nintendo thinks they're building hype I have news for them. They're only succeeding in turning their customers off. I was going to buy a new 3ds but now i have no plans to in the near future. I'll just wait for gateway support to come out

Nintendo is losing it.
Way to go to scare away customers Ninty.
Way to fucking go!

Nobody mentioned the Pokemon shuffle shit they pulled?? Way to be too fucking greedy nintendo, if you haven't played this game, then don't, get pokemon trozei/link for the 3ds instead.

 

[Jayro]

A Pokemon Snap game for 3DS and Wii U would be greatly welcome, since they can both do AR with their 3D cameras and accelerometers.

People are actually defending Nintendo on the port strike...? It is their fault cause, you know, they're the only ones too cheap to ship by air. You know you can do that right? Oh wait, considering their online infrastructure, how backwards it is, maybe not...

About the n3DS, like, why? It makes no sense at all. There is a market; capitalize on it. I'm sure cost of release & marketing < revenue earned for, you know, an already existing product for which they have a product line.

Last, about the "Limited Edition" issue, it's just poor planning. See: Sony's limited edition PS4 launch. People didn't say Sony undershipped, people aren't butthurt, there's still scalpers, but units were numbered, so it's clearly limited edition. People knew how limited it was gonna be. I think that's the problem here - the scarcity caught potential buyers off guard.


No love for red and black apparently... I'm still waiting to get my hands on one too! You know. That other red and black Nintendo 3D console. I hear it's all the rage.

So let me get this straight, this article basically criticizes these things:

1) Limited stock of amiibo
--> Toys that a game company produces is limited. Who would have thought that? It's called smart business. As a game company, you wouldn't know how well received those items were gonna be. What if Nintendo produced plenty of stock that didn't sell? Now that Nintendo recognizes the demand, they can produce more stock.

2) Limited stock of limited console editions
--> Duh!

3) NoA's decision to not release the standard New 3DS in America
--> That's on NoA alone. NoE and NoJ have nothing to do with it.

4) 3DS system transfer too slow
--> It's not like this is something you do every week. So really that's not a problem.

5) Nintendo's way of doing online business
--> That is how it's always has been. Actually it improved with the release of 3DS and Wii U a bit and it will improve further with the same OS-based next-gen consoles if you believe what Iwata was saying.

I don't think Nintendo has a very serious problem.

Not that these problems combined where enough to stop you from buying all those Nintendo products.

 

[the_randomizer]

Don't tell me people are actually going out of their way to defend Nintendo of America's shitty handling of its marketing are they? I hope to hell not.

Nintenyearold alert

I can definitely use the epithet Sony Pony or Microshitter, but I won't

 

[purupuru]

I'm sorry but there's limited edition when you have a few weeks or months to get your hands on something then there's limited edition where 99.9% of people can't buy the Nintendo products they want and it's not just one thing it's everything worth buying. So they're making every item worth getting unavailable. Yeah, that sounds like a sound business plan.

DinohScene, you will go in jail if you keep that loli/shota profile picture slideshow.
If anyone asks I don't know you.

Ah, little nipples. I didn't notice until you mentioned it
