... you do know you can buy the cover plates separately, right?
What a disappointment. Not emotionally or anything. Just from the perspective of a prospective buyer and business minded person. Just glad I was only trying to get one for myself and not a gift for my daughter or something (she's not old enough yet).
GG Nintendo! You did... something... I suppose?

There is no need to be upset.
Pokemon and Fire Emblem Fates are on sale on Best Buy and Amazon.

So wtf... I open the damn thing and it turns out it doesn't include a wall charger. No one at gamestop bothered to tell me that.
Is it too much of me to think that any electronic device you buy includes a damn charger??!???!?

Laughing so hard right now.

That's almost common knowledge by this point. Stupid, though, and quite inconsiderate.
It pisses me off, too. It slipped my mind when I went to buy the 3DS, but the clerk asked if I wanted a charger too.

Well I sure as shit didnt know... This isn't my first 3DS (I got one of the original models at launch but sold it a few months later).
When did they stop including chargers?

It's kind of a direct sequel so yes definitely, they're both amazing games everyone with a 3ds should play.

Fair enough, I got the 2nd game for $20 today...really don't want to pay the silly prices for the original. Might try and find a nice used copy.

Yeah I grabbed the 2nd today for $20 too, then went to grab the first and saw it was $55. The hell is with that price on a 4 year old game.

I would expect Amazon to ship before Gamestop..
still hasn't shipped and i still haven't been charged. I'm getting nervous, it usually doesn't take this long.

Didn't mean to come off rudely. Sorry if I did.
Not everyone does, but if you're on GAF a lot it's common knowledge. They're fucking people over.
The N3DS has never included a charger. Nintendo figures people who buy it will already own one and have a charger.
I have two chargers now, but only because of my OCD.

My GameStop ordered shipped, should be here by Tuesday. I'll take it and return it to the store and pick up Final Fantasy XV

You're cool, you weren't rude.
I just have very little interaction on the Nintendo side of gaf and this was a real eye opener.

Also getting nervous lol. I got a "shipped" email yesterday and I ordered right as they went live. Tracking number shows nothing on ups.com and bestbuy.com hasn't changed from your order has been packed and is awaiting pick-up or some-such.
We'll see.

Please have more, Amazon 
I'm in the same boat. Has been at awaiting pickup by UPS since yesterday. Should change over to shipped either tomorrow or worst case Monday morning.

I'm still waiting for my order to be shipped from them, including the offical Nintendo DS/3DS charger for it (though the waiting probably has something to do with me ordering the charger from a 3rd party vendor).

I didnt get in on this, and now i need one for my niece for Xmas. Whats the best deal on a 3ds other than this one? Any chance of this getting re-stocked?

I think Target has Mario Land New 3DS for $149.99
I'm hoping for a restock as well.
KamiCrit

I find it so weird that the SKU without a bundled game is the "special edition". Why not have this SKU out back with the happy home designer bundle and just do the sale price now.
Now we have this restock and price point paranoia. Some official post Black Friday info would be great.
Went out Thursday night while home for Thanksgiving in Beverly Hills,
to survey the scene:
Best Buy: "we're sold out"
Meijer: clueless
Target: great success - 6 in stock, 4 taken by 3 others and me.
Walmart: had 1 left
Regarding Fire Emblem, I played the GBA and GameCube releases. Should I play Awakening or Fates first?

Ordered mine early yesterday, received the confirmation, but the website still says "item located in stock"
Same for me. This is the first time I'm ordering from them so I don't know how their process goes tbh.

Something tells me Nintendo is probably going to offer another batch of these to retailers before Christmas, given how well they performed Black Friday. If not before Christmas, then I think there will be a similar promotion at some point leading in to the Switch launch.
It's blatantly obvious they can get a good number of additional sales out of em... But I kind of feel like that sort of logic doesn't apply to Nintendo more often than not.

I feel pretty confident this will be the new price for this model.
That's a rational Nintendo decision. Not gonna happen.

Is Nintendo allergic to money or what?
Unknown Soldier
Member
Yes. Nintendo developed a severe allergy to money during the Wii years when they were exposed to too much of it.
I'm hoping that's why some of the Walmart orders were "preorders" for 12/16
I have to keep telling myself that and hope they don't cancel those.
