Posted January 14, 2015 Re: The Majoras Mask New 3DS XL. I want one asap and I don't want to miss out :p Do these editions normally sell through all the usual channels, or only on Nintendo's store? Will I have to act fast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 14, 2015 Do Nintendo take payment immediately? I have a lot of amazon vouchers... but I'll probably order from both just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may be able to pay straight away via Paypal though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 I feel pretty bad for America. Has it been 100% confirmed they are only getting the XL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Why would you want the smaller one? (Genuine question, <-- out of the loop) Just to fit in your pocket? Edited January 14, 2015 by Shorty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 Why would you want the smaller one? (Genuine question, <-- out of the loop) Just to fit in your pocket? Personally, I like the smaller one due to the SNES buttons and the face plates. Though with the LE Monster Hunter machine arriving over here, i'm in a bit of a pickle.

Posted January 14, 2015 Ah I quite like the look of the white one with the Snes buttons too... I guess I'll have to make a decision between that and the MM XL... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a regular 3DS and XL and now have a regular n3ds. I prefer the smaller form factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 Apparently the US don't get Majoras Mask game with their LE handheld. First they don't get the normal model and now this. Very strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 Perhaps they got a very large number of MM pre-orders? Personally I would've happily had the console without the game so I could keep my pre-order for the steel-tin/poster/badge version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 I think the pre-orders go live tomorrow for the New 3DS's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 Just read someone speculating that the USA isn't getting the New 3DS, only the XL, because their SNES didn't have colour buttons like ours did. Their buttons were purple. Would be a silly reason not to release it - but it is an extremely bizarre situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 Any source on that? Various sites are saying it, can't link as using my mobile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2015 The Americans really are getting the short end of the stick. As well as not getting the New 3DS, buyers of the Majora's Mask New 3DS XL have to buy the game separately. Bizarre decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its just Nintendo doing what they always do and making some decisions which don't really make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bizarre decisions. Look at the meltdown over no AC adaptor. Personally I think Nintendo need to stop that practice. Every device which requires a charge should come with a packed in AC adaptor.

Posted January 14, 2015 The prices for the New 3DS and New 3DS XL are exactly as I expected. If I decide to pick up a New 3DS XL too, it's probably going to be that Majora's Mask one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
