I think this is a prelude to Xenoblade Chronicles X also being GameStop exclusive

 

[Matt Attack]

There go my dreams of seeing a Shulk toy in a regular toy store.

 

[-Horizon-]

Xenoblade Chronicles X to also be GameStop exclusive at this rate.

Edit: beaten like a jokah

 

[Zero²]

Hopefully Xenblade Chronicles X is exclusive to Gamestop as well!!!!

Well let hope the game actually comes out here in the same year than Japan at least then.

atleast nintendo is doing digital downloads =p

Oh come on. It's a character from a niche game. Just order it from Gamestop and be done with it.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Americans really don't have the right to complain when it was because of Gamestop that we got to play Xenoblade in the first place.

The world would probably explode at that rate. Hopefully Ike will make it.

Yeupp, but at least we can buy from Video Games Plus since they manage to get all the GameStop exclusive games also.

Also Horizon I've seen your avatar around a bunch of threads today today and it is fantastic one.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I don't like the idea of retailer exclusive amiibos, but whatever, I want the Shulk amiibo so I'll just buy it at EBGames if I have to.

 

[Dryk]

Unreal. I love it when purchasing things I want is harder than it should be.

You've basically summed up my opinion on Amiibo locked content

 

[MrCunningham]

So basically retailer exclusive DLC? Nintendo is finally catching up to everyone else!

It really is like Nintendo is a whole generation behind every other game company. They are just starting to learn generation 7 level business tactics.

 

[Matt Attack]

Oh come on. It's a character from a niche game. Just order it from Gamestop and be done with it.

I don't really care where I buy it from. It's the fact that he's from such a niche game that would have made it so interesting to see elsewhere.

 

[Zero²]

Yep I live in Brazil anyway, so it will be rare to even see a retail copy around here lol
Anyway, I really gotta get an external HHD

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Hopefully he comes to Mexico....

 

[Oersted]

This is US-only I guess?

 

[Nintendo Playstation]

Serious: How long until someone buys a "new" Shulk Amiibo only to find there's already save data?

Joking: How long until someone buys a "new" Shulk Amiibo, gives it to their kid to scan and subsequently sues GameStop because it put porn on their 3DS or WiiU?

 

[hurricanes]

I absolutely hate retailer exclusive, especially to GameStop, TWICE.
So, as much as I love Xenoblade... Will not get.

 

[ozfunghi]

Amiibos weren't region locked, right?

 

[Peltz]

Americans really don't have the right to complain when it was because of Gamestop that we got to play Xenoblade in the first place.

Well, then we're are targeting our complaints against NOA more so than Gamestop for agreeing to exclusivity in both instances. Xenoblade should've been more widely available, as should this Shulk Amiibo.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

Oh god it's just too hilarious for me to care, after Xenoblade being GS only.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Exclusive, huh? Guess I'll go buy it.

 

[Marvel]

"I want to get a Shulk Amiibo"

"Shulkamibo.... is that for Xbox One or PS4?"

"Neither."

*GS employee head explodes.*

Haha!

 

[-Horizon-]

The world would probably explode at that rate. Hopefully Ike will make it.

Also Horizon I've seen your avatar around a bunch of threads today today and it is fantastic one.

D'aww thanks. And yeah, like Rebel Leader mentioned above as well, at least it will still be available to download off the eshop if you're ok with digital.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Damn it. I hate gamestop. But I will have to get this, and this seems like it will be a limited run. So buy it now, or expect it on eBay for triple the price.

 

[DrForester]

I will import. I refuse to give money to Gamestop.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Guess this is going to be a trend and Xenoblade Chronicles X will be GS exclusive as well.

 

[Percy]

Oh Nintendo

 

[Fbh]

So....did gamestop co-develop Xenoblade or something?

 

[RPGCrazied]

So....did gamestop co-develop Xenoblade or something?

Probably not. Nintendo probably just didn't want to pay all those retailers to stock the game.

 

[DrForester]

I think this is a prelude to Xenoblade Chronicles X also being GameStop exclusive

I can not imagine a game being hyped so much by NOA will be a retailer exclusive.

 

[Kai Dracon]

At the end of the day I think I'll just walk into the local Gamestop and buy the damn figure.

 

[Kandinsky]

I will import. I refuse to give money to Gamestop.

What if Amiibos are region locked :O

 

[RPGCrazied]

What if Amiibos are region locked :O

They aren't. Already said so.

 

[Sendou]

What if Amiibos are region locked :O

Not the case.

 

[Wiz]

Makes sense. The same people who went to Gamestop for Xenoblade Chronicles will be the same people who want the Shulk amiibo

 

[Byron Bluth]

So this should be the first one I buy since it will be limited possibly?

I likely will never use Amiibos so I want to just collect rare ones that may be worth something one day.

We all know these things will be pumped out like mad.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

It would be hilarious if Xenoblade Chronicles X ended up being a Gamestop exclusive as well.

You've doomed us all. I want you to know that.

 

[Kandinsky]

Cool stuff

 

[Skellig Gra]

How widely stocked did you guys think a Shulk amiibo would be? This is about as niche as it gets. Just be thankful it exists at all.

 

[RPGCrazied]

How widely stocked did you guys think a Shulk amiibo would be? This is about as niche as it gets. Just be thankful it exists at all.

They did say that some amiibo's would always be stocked like the Links/Samus's/Peach/Donkey Kong, and some would be a limited run. Which Shulk will more likely be limited.

 

[donutzsick]

If Xenoblade X is exclusive to gamestop I will be really mad. This series, and more importantly this developer, deserves as many sales as possible.

 

[Santiako]

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Sorry if this is abit off topic/already discussed, but are any others exclusive to any retailers aswell? Amazon just updated and unless I'm blind I think I only saw Mega Man, Sonic, Ike, DeDeDe, Toon Link. Does anyone know who will have what yet? Wheres mah Rosalina?

I knew this would probably happen at the rate they are releasing them, but why can't they all be on amazon atleast since you don't have to worry about shelf space in the same sense. I better get ready to miss some. Considering how broke I am I will miss alot...

Edit: Shiek is there too. Rosalina and MetaKnight are missing tho.

 

[Spirit Icana]

I think this is a prelude to Xenoblade Chronicles X also being GameStop exclusive

Please please please NOO!!!

Sawano's first game needs to get into as much hands as it can.

 

[Laconic]

The beginning of the end for the Amiibo.

Thank God.

Hopefully Xenblade Chronicles X is exclusive to Gamestop as well!!!!

Christ, no.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Americans really don't have the right to complain when it was because of Gamestop that we got to play Xenoblade in the first place.

yeah, gamestop gets the hate but NoA were cheap fucks that didn't give the game a proper release.

 

[illadelph]

GAF is way too pissed about this, just go to Gamestop if you want your plastic Shulk, it's not a big deal

 

[Deleted member 74300]

This is the Gamestopado's power...

 

[Astral Dog]

So....did gamestop co-develop Xenoblade or something?

Likely,without Gamespot there wouldnt be a Xenoblade, they helped Nintendo to publish and maybe fund it, the game was picked to other stores but they didnt want it,so its going to stay exclusive
If you want to play Xenoblade,you have to buy at Gamespot.,

 

[RPGCrazied]

They added the photo of it on gamestop.com finally. I went ahead and preordered it. I'll be damned if I miss out on this and have to fork over more cash if it becomes rare. You guys should do this same.
