5/19/2017:  Got my copy!  I bit the bullet and paid for the DLC at Gamestop for the metallic poster.  It looks really great.  Post pics if you got it!

    Nice special edition, should be up for sale for a whole 3 seconds.
  • LutherDestroysTheGondLutherDestroysTheGond
    No kidding, I'm not looking forward to the mad rush to order it. I've had the best luck ordering in Gamestop stores in person with past Nintendo LEs. I'm going to call them in a bit to see if they even have a SKU ready for pre-order today.



    EDIT:  Got one!  
  • BreaKBeatZBreaKBeatZ
    Do we know the time it will be available? I'd like to take a stab at getting one.
  • QuazeQuaze
    Sucks that I can't even really get excited about this lol, the chances of getting a preorder in are so slim if your finger is not spamming the refresh button the moment they go up.
  • OtraotakuOtraotaku
    Hey on the plus side at least this wont be like "Fates" Where Only the special edition had a Physical release of all games on one Cart.



    (Absolute BS) I feel so bad for those who weren't able to pick one up

    Shoot, I did't realize you were in CA when I posted this^
  • B.A.B.A.
    Thanks for the heads up!
  • zeppelin03zeppelin03
    I don't know if I want this but preordered anyhow. Nintendo doesn't offer you much of an opportunity to consider a purchase with the way they stock product.

    I don't know what's worse: Nintendo announcing a pre-order date ahead of time so people can get ready to swarm and it sells instantly (Majora's Mask LE, Gold nunchuk in Club Nitendo, etc.), or Nintendo announcing something and instantly allowing pre-orders (This release, Fire Emblem Fates LE, etc.) and then there is a mad scramble and if you missed the announcement or you're short on cash on that specific day, then you're usually SOL.  Both are rough and really annoying.

    Got mine as soon as it came on. Not as good of a deal as the Fates SE, but owning the FC original, Gaiden's well worth it IMO.



    It'll be interesting to see how long this lasts given Nintendo's piss poor track record.

    Exactly, equally rough either way. I was lucky enough to get the fates se, but having to watch the internet for a while to get a special edition is tiring.

    Nintendo seems to be somewhat consistent in when they allow preorders to open at least.

    Got mine ordered. Thanks again for the heads up  
  • johnjohn
    Thanks. I was just wondering whether there would be a special for this last week.



    Anyone know why it's not on Amazon?
  • D~FunkD~Funk
    Keep trying on Gamestop and its not availabe. If someone is able to snag an extra i would definitely appreciate it! Hoping i can get 1 on Amazon.

    Man, that sucks.  You can try calling your Gamestop to see if they can pre-order in store.  You'll have to go in if that store if they have it from not hitting their quota yet.



    Amazon and/or Best Buy might get some though.  I'm surprised it isn't on Amazon yet
  • johnjohn
    Wow, didn't realize these go so fast. I placed an order on my phone at around 12:30 PM when I first saw this thread. Thanks for sharing.

    And my sadness begins...damn work for making me do work and not get to a pre-order in time

    I've been spamming amazon. I saw the listing pop, then pictures added but it hasn't actually popped for pre order yet, unless i somehow missed it but i don't think so. Will post here as soon as it does!

    I guess I'll remain vigilant, stalk, and hope to snag one when they go up on there. Thanks man!

    Target and Best Buy had them up for a bit. Amazon put up a page but I don't think it ever went live.
  • yukfouyukfou
    Seriously? Already sold out?

    True. Now I'm worried about orders getting canceled down the road though. I'll try to preorder at GameStop in person. Maybe that'll still work

    When did it go up on BB? I didn't see it posted anywhere online or on their website.



    I put a order in at GameStop when it went up this morning. No 20% discount + $5 shipping is horrible (how the hell does Gamestop stay in business?), but I put it in just incase I'm unable to order from BB or Amazon.

    So, same shite from Nintendo? Release a handful and let scalpers enjoy their fare?
