Definitely disapointed in the N3DSXL color options, including the limited editions. Why is the Majoras Mask N3DSXL not purple and why arn't we getting a regular sized N3DS? A bit bummed. Regardless, i'll probably be suckered into the Majoras Mask or Monster Honster limited ed.

This was also pretty concerning. Do they really have to not include an AC adapter to cut down on price?

It just ended.

I'm a little perplexed, the New 3DS is coming out in February, only available as XL, and doesn't come with an AC adapter? Also, price? (Some sites are saying it's $199.99 USD)

They mentioned they'll resupply Marth amiibos in North America later this year, so that was interesting. It would make sense as they put more figure compatibility into games they replenish the ones that are utilized.

I know some people that will be greatly annoyed that Tingle is playable DLC in Hyrule Warriors. I look forward to their reaction.

Wii games directly playable on Wii U is great and all, but I can't help being irked since I own most of them already. However, putting out Metroid Prime Trilogy for a non-absurd price is probably a good thing. I haven't checked to see what the price is, Mario Galaxy 2 should be up already.

Pricing/Availability Here

$200 for the Majoras Mask N3DSXL
$230 for the Monster Hunter bundle

Note that Majoras Mask 3DS does not include the actual game, hence it's lower price.

Would love that Majora's Mask one if I had to choose -- that or Black. I'd love to get in on all of this, Amazon, Gamestop.

I'm hoping with the price promotion that Metroid Prime Trilogy would only be $25-$30. English sites reporting 8.99 (GB Pounds) and jumping to 17.99 when the promotion ends. That will be awesome!

Nintendo haven't included adapters with handhelds in Japan for a while now. 3DS XL consoles in Europe don't come with one either.

I just bought a 3DS XL in October, but oh god I'm tempted to drop another £200 on a Majoras Mask New 3DS XL.

Majora's Mask and IronFall: Invasion are the two that grabbed me.

Update: Majoras Mask 3DSXL is now available for pre-order on Gamestops website
http://www.gamestop.com/consoles/ninten ... ion/119888

Hopefully we see an Amazon pre order link soon or available at other retailers. I went ahead and preordered, as you're not charged till shipping, just in case. :wink:

EDIT: Confirmed that Gamestop will also be taking in store pre orders for the console starting today.
