A1 posters...I hope they are good tubes...they have to survive getting across the Atlanic (for some...). Bah despite not needing red CC pro or having anywhere to put posters up I might bite...

I got a laugh out of this Eurogamer comment:
The 'bundle' is just getting rid of unsold 25th Anniversary Mario Classic Controllers.

WTF is wrong with amazon uk?They still haven't listed the game.

Amazon UK do this for Nintendo published games for some reason. Expect in 2 weeks time a page with "notifiy me by e-mail when you finally decide a price" and then for the price to come along 3 weeks later and it not cheaper than anywhere else. Its only Nintendo published games they do this for.

There weren't any 25th anniversary controllers, were there? I have the anniversary Wii console and DSi XL but I never saw any C-Controllers.

Probably wanted to release the other two posters in Canada and US but nope. :p

That is correct (unless you count the Red remote and Nunchuck but outside of hardware the former is Wii play: motion only and the latter is Japan only). Its just the kind of thing I go into Eurogamer comments looking for.

So here's an importing question for you guys. If I were to get my parents to buy the Italian version of the game or something, would it still include the English voice track? I ask because my parents are going over to Italy for a couple weeks and would be able to just pick me up the game instead of having to have someone ship it to me.

Yes.

All of the European versions will be exactly the same, you just change the subtitle language if you're French/German/Spanish/Italian etc.

I've found out that my friend at GAME can pre-order me the CE for £38. Good times.

Won't matter for me. I'm in the U.S. I'm also getting it from Zavvi, so I have to wait 2 or 3 weeks in shipping. :( So, it'll actually be in September to get it.

So nice, thanks for posting this! Two weeks early too. Glad I preordered the CE already.

NOE is just trolling now with the release dates and everything.

I mean when was the last time they did all this special controller, posters, reversible covers, etc. stuff with such a niche game?

I agree. Also, a day after rumors that NA is actually getting it. Someone from Nintendo contacted the Operation Rainfall blog and told them its actually complete and ready for testing. I don't know who to believe at this point. Even if we get it, I think it will be after EU.

Shiggy already explained that rumour in the other thread. NoA did test Xenoblade Chronicles but it was the EU version they tested. Basically NoA seem to test games even not released in the US like Disaster, Last Windows and so on.

We discussed it in the Operation Rainfall thread. NOA product testing (or testing team or whatever) have been credited on Disaster: Day of Crisis and other games that did not come out in America so its probably just that happening again.

Why this happens? Who knows, maybe NOE felt they needed the extra help or the NOA guys had nothing else to do.

Kuru Kuru Kururin was a great GBA launch title.

But yeah, that's pretty much it.

So how much will the game cost by itself? Both Game and Gamestation only list the version with the classic controller, and I already have the one from Goldeneye so I don't need another.

Just a reminder to anyone who wants an alternative -- my amazon.de order went through fine, and I'm in the US. Should ship fast, and it says it'll be here in like 8 working days.

I believe they have both versions available.

They do. Great news about the early release and the preorder bonus. Does anyone know whether amazon will change my preorder from earlier accordingly.

Is this going to be in German though? Or is there only one copy and it's English with subtitles for different Euro languages?

All of the European versions are exactly the same.

They all have Japanese/English audio, and English/French/German/Italian/Spanish subtitles.

Non-English speaking EU players just choose which subtitles they wish to use.

Not to be a killjoy, but are you sure about this? I rember games with weird region splits like German/Portugese/Polish and English/French/Spanish/Italian. Sure there will be an English voice option but I am not 100% sure about the subtitles.

When did that happen? Should've only happened on DS because those game cards have less space.

For a niche game like this all versions will be the same, subtitles don't take too much space.
