It was? I ended up getting two, one for me and one for my brother and did so with relative ease, in fact I'm pretty sure Nintendo UK Store has had ample stock for months. That's a shame that others didn't have the same experience.

I'm here. The first game was so boring... I will give a chance to the second, but hope is much better.
Thanks I preordered at computeruniverse. I used PayPal just to be sure.

Yeah we have but I have yet to see any pre orders yet for the game. No official announcement for pre orders starting in Norway.
I want to avoid importing it due to the increased 25% priced due to import taxes, including 20 euros if it gets checked by customs.
Do either of these ship outside their respective countries?
You quoted it...

I would not trust that either. In general, their shop is reliable. But I'm not sure if they are reliable in terms of very limited editions.

How easy are they to cancel orders from?
If I got a pre-order at somewhere in the UK, I'd probably want to cancel it so I get it quicker.

Ugh, checked the gamemania site before I went to sleep and it wasn't listed. I check again this morning and it's finally listed but already sold out. WTF.
noooooooo
edit: "Gezien de zeer beperkte beschikbaarheid van deze Limited Edition, zijn reserveringen helaas niet mogelijk."

I checked again and there's a note on the page saying they will contact people that pre-ordered either conquest or birthright first to see if they want to switch to the limited efition... This sucks. I pre-ordered conquest now in the hope they'll call me but I doubt it.
Edit: thanks for the bol.com link! Ordered.
Ya, I haven't been contacted by Game Mania yet either and I'm not getting my hopes up. ;_;
The questions and answers on that page says that's a page for a special edition that's going to be in German only. Surely that's not true?

Heemm no. Why was terrible?
Aaaaaaand it's no longer available on bol. I'm really anxious about finding a foreign version now too, it needs to be in English
edit: they removed those answers too, although it's still listed as german only. hmmm

Oh boy... I managed to order that one but it better be in english... Why would there only be one language on the card?
Same reason why they cut the japanese language for the US release?

Wow the fuck. I checked it this morning at 8:30 and nothing. It says unavailable now already. Fucking hell.
Edit: Gamemania too?!?!
Fuck. My in store reservation at Mediamarkt better pull through.
Game's in English, they've corrected the error. Sorry about that.
They haven't put it up again yet but they're editing the page so I'm assuming I'll get a second shot. Have fun with yours.

It pretty much sold out as quickly as this one. Reserved well in advance and they cancelled my order due to limited numbers. Same with the 3DS. Then a few days later I lucked out and one was available again somewhere. Not the 3DS though. Might be my personal experience, but it wasn't fun. These Nintendo LE's go superquickly. And as I said before, a store employee told me Nintendo is always superflakey with their numbers. Allocate 20 copies, but how much they get in the end is always wildly different. Either it's all 20 or something like 3 or so.

Know how that feels.
My store had me put for a list for a special edition a few months ago.
Got a call yesterday that cancelled it. Only getting 3 per store at most apparently
I'd my keep my eye on bol fwiw, I think they'll open orders again
I forgot about mediamarkt though, I guess I should keep em in mind too. I've had some bad luck with preorders from them though. :/

Yeah, I put in a notification alert on the page.
Go to the MediaMarkt store and ask a sales rep at the game section. I went last week and I was the first to inform and this was several days after they announced the LE. I'm dead first on the list so let's just hope they get a single copy. It costs nothing and you can always cancel even after release if you get it somewhere else. It's a nice backup to have.

Since I'll make Nintendo wait as long as they do me, it'll be August by the time I buy it 2nd hand.
Principles suck and are meaningless.

Yeah you're right, I think I'm gonna need all the backups I can get with this one. It's not like they won't be able to get rid of their copy if I don't end up buying it from them.
Good luck!

God, what a shitshow.
It's the only flipping bundle containing all 3 games, and they've printed like 100 flipping copies for all of Europe.
This shit is so Nintendo it hurts.

I'm sure there's always a GAFfer willing to take it of your hands lol.
It's weird that Nedgame.nl doesn't have the LE of the game up yet. They do have the Fates N3DSXL on there though, but not sure if I want one yet.

They did, it's gone already.
Jinjo

Ugh, offcourse. I didn't even see the listing in the last week lol. Did they have it up before the official announcement?
So Nintendo indeed.
FE:A is around £30 second hand right now, it has never dropped significantly in price since launch. I expect the same of Fates, no point cutting your nose to spite your face in this scenario.

If anything, Fire Emblem games only become more expensive as time goes by. See Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn and Shadow Dragon.

Well, it's up on amazon.de, but shown as "not in stock", meaning not orderable yet.
And since amazon's notification system has the speed of a Pony Express carriage, you're going to F5 the game's item page like a mad man, hoping not to miss the 5 minutes windows of being orderable whenever amazon feels like it.
Boy, i'm digging this Nintendo collector's edtion hide'n seek plays ... fun times.

This is ridiculous, lol.
Yeah, not fun. I guess I should have seen it coming with the scarcity of the US version but I somehow managed to convince myself NoE would do a more reasonable printing run

After the success of the US release, they should've seen this coming.
That's what I thought, yeah. Sigh.
