Any updates on Shopto stock?

My most anticipated game since before the 3ds launched. The waiting game has never felt so hard.

Introducing new 3dsxl models in Japan As much as I love Animal Crossing I think the special edition Mario one does it for me.

I wonder why they are saying sold out now then. With American retailers quickly saying sold out, I imagined they had a better idea of stock levels.

Wow, thats the first english retailer I've seen saying sold out. I was beginning to worry that english retailers were just taking preorders with no idea of how much stock they would actually get for launch.

Holy Hell, when did they say that?

It may be yet, but not confirmed so far.

i was really hoping this was gonna be a launch game.

True, it's had many spin offs of its own, most done well enough. Just imagined with it being a huge franchise they'd have fit in somehow. You could easily imagine your mii wearing a Pokemon costume. There again there's no Pokemon hats in the streetpass quest.

I just realised, there is no Pokemon themed game? :-/

Im really looking forward to this game, even though I've already played and completed it on Xbox. It's a top notch game, i hope they bring the DLC over.

I wouldn't say I've ever lost faith. I've had times where I've been frustrated with Nintendo. They have the ability to make amazing games and add a touch of magic to them that only Nintendo can quite do. The problem is, not all of their games are like this and sometimes you can have a long wait between these games. The last game for me to have their magic was Skyward Sword, and Kid Icraus (kinda). The shame for me is that despite how many amazing franchises they own, the releases can be very staggered. The last 2 years of the wii have been pretty quiet. And with the wii missing out on so many 3rd party titles, I've often had to get my fix from elsewhere. Until the other day, it was too quiet on the WiiU front, now there is more hope of better 3rd party support. So, no, I have never lost faith in Nintendo. I just don't like the wait between the games. Now we have Nintendo in HD (at long last) to look forward to, 3rd party support. Still waiting for the big epic Nintendo game, but it'll come - plenty of things to keep us going till then.

Good prices, but knowing my luck it'd be delivered late and i'd be sat there that weekend wiiu-less, going insane, jealously reading you guys bigging up how awesome it is.

What are they like for delivery?

Disappointed the Zombie bundle no longer comes with NintendoLand included. If ZombieU and Nintendoland end up costing the same at retail individually, i'd be paying at extra £28 at shopto just to get the controller pro. I'm confused which is the better deal now. Just to cancel my zombieU bundle, get the regular premium pack then buy zombieU seperately? The ZOmbieU bundles should drop in price really, as everyone originally thought the package included Nintendoland.

Is this game due to be launch date or launch window? Couldnt see it listed on the games shot at the end of the presentation.

Welcome to the board Mr Darren. I don't post here as much as I should, I tend to lurk in the wii u / animal crossing 3ds shadows. Everyone here is lovely and the fanboys are kept in check!

I find it depressing they say animal crossing will be released first half of 2013. Not even saying Q1 anymore. There were trailers for this game on the e3 before the 3ds came out! With this coming out in Japan this year, it should be coming out here also.

I practice CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), not the porn kind Congratz anyway xx

Yeah £200 is steep and there's no way i'd pay if I didn't have the trade in option. But I have gone for the trade in deal. Getting £105 for my old 3ds is good. Otherwise I'd have to be able to sell it independently for around £80 to outdo the offer. Given that it's not pristine condition and everyone is a bargain hunter/ expect perfection on eBay, then taking away postage costs and all the ebay fees and the overall risk of an awkward buyer. Figured it's easier and as cost effective doing Game's trade in deal.

This is good is vid if you haven't seen it already

£157.97 at Zaavi with code http://m.hotukdeals.com/deals/nintendo-3ds-xl-preorder-157-95-zavvi-using-code-summersaver-1251023?mforwarded=true

Does this work out about the same size as the DSi XL? I really hope the sorted out the bottom screen scratching the top screen problem!!

I like his approach, he seems more open minded and less ignoring the difficult points. Recognising the casual audience won't really be the main early adopters.

According to the article, they say there is no screen brightness control on the wiiu gamepad, but they also claim the 3DS has no screen brightness control
