New line of Nintendo select games that are coming out on March 11 are up on amazon for pre order and it applies the 20% off Amazon prime offer. That means for those of us who couldnt buy ocarina of time 3ds its up right now for $15.99 in the US site.

Not up for pre order yet but you'll get 20% off nintendo selects if you have best buy gamers club as well
>>
>>330080041
>>330080229
>Prime
>$99.99 a year
>Gamer's Club
>$29.99 for two years
Gee, tough decision.
>>
>>330080229
Gotta put down money on it fast cuz its gonna be limited quantities, Amazon is already capping it at max 1 per person.
>>
>>330080434
you can get prime for half off if you're a student so there's that at least
>>
>>330080041
i waited 2 years for the price to drop on ocarina of time, but its too late nintendo, you fucking jew, I've already hacked my 3ds, you're too slow.

Thank you senpai. When I get my IRS tax return tomorrow or the day after this is the first thing I'm buying.

Woot! Woot! OoT! OoT!
>>
>>330080659
Oh please you'd have hacked it anyway just like the rest of us. Why pay when you can get it free in a more convenient manner?
>>
>>330080602
I don't have either, but at this point I'm considering GCU.
The way people talk about GCU makes it seem like all "New" games regardless of how long they've been out are 20% off.
Is that true?
>>
>>330081035
Yes you can get ANY new game for 20% off.
The only problem is some of them don't drop in price the way they do like with amazon, so some games are still full price even if they're years old
But the 20% also stacks with sales, and if you spend a certain amount of money you'll get 5$ off coupons regularly
>>
>>330081174
>stacks with sales
I'll ponder over it some more, but I'll probably get it now.
Thanks for the info.
>>
>>330081482
Do know that the only way to actually buy gamers club is you have to physically go into a best buy and buy it. i'm not sure why you can't buy it online, but that's how it is
>>
>>330080041
so this means that the games max price will be $20, even used.

checkmate, reseller faggots...
>>
>>330081607
I've seen resellers skyrocket the price to anything upwards of $50. So im guessing this will drop those prices down unless they go the "Limited edition" bullshit route and start asking een higher for an original OoT 3ds without the Nintendo selects brand n them.
>>
I just ordered Mario Galaxy 2, Pikmin 3, and Mario 3D World. Thanks!
>>
>>330081035
If you're getting Prime for 20% off games, you're a fucking idiot. If you're getting prime for 20% off games, free 2-day/cheap next-day shipping, and an OK Netflix/music streaming service, it turns out to be a good deal.
>>
>>330081591
I didn't know that, but I'm still capable of going outside.
>>
>>330081974
Yeah after you activate it you can buy shit on their website with the discount
>>
>OoT3D got a reprint with the original cover in December
>gets a Nintendo Selects reprint this month

What was the point of that reprint? Just to fuck people out of $20?
>>
>>330080041
>Dong Freeze and OoT 3D for $32 total

Thanks OP
>>
>>330082101
Nintendo probably found a way to fix oothax and thus wants these new ones to flood the market.
>>
Apparently there's going to be a new line of Nintendo Selects later this year as well, so here's hoping that Kid Icarus Uprising and Star Fox 3d are included
>>
>>330080041
Fuck yes I've been waiting for these. Gonna get Ocarina, Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3. Hope they announce these for Europe soon.
>>
Not a select but Ninja Gaiden is on sale for $12.
Worth it?
>>
nice, got OoT 3D

thanks, OP
>>
>>330080434
People get prime for the free 2 day shipping. if you tend to order stuff online a lot it's a godsend. Plus it has a pretty decent video service.

Gamers Club is specifically for if you buy a lot of vidya.
>>
>>330082101
The only time you should ever look inside your neighbor's bowl is to see if they have enough.

Not to see if you've made out as good as them.
>>
>>330082653
GCU is such a good deal, i don't see how best buy can afford it
>>
The new discounts for Select titles affects digital copies on the eShop right?
>>
>>330082507
it's been on sale for 10 almost everywhere for years and for good reason. It's a shitty version of a shitty game. Also since the console has two of the greatest action games of all time (bayonetta series) it's really not worth.

I'd recommend zombiu instead if you want a really cheap wiiu game to add to your collection. Not a great game, but unique and decent zombie/survival and worth the 11 bucks.
>>
>>330083050
Logic would say yes but since Nintendo doesn't use it, it's still $39.99 at the eshop with no signs of a price drop.
>>
>>330083143
thanks mate
>>
>Couldnt afford to buy a 3ds game at full price
You have to be 18 or older to post on 4chan.

>>330083697
Personally? Still not going to buy it. Saving up for a house. $20 here or there won't break the bank. But trying to keep in the mindset of keeping money until house is purchased.
>>
>>330080041

Thanks for the heads up on the Amazon thing.

Anyone have any other recommendations for games to pre order on amazon?
>>
>>330083861
>Buy house
>Have to buy furniture and extra shit like a garage door and plants

>>330083882
pre-order your amiibos for $10

>>330082843
They probably can't, but Best Buy is trying to do anything to keep from being rendered obsolete by big-box retailers and Amazon. Well, doing anything besides providing good customer service and decent product selection.
>>
I can't wait to own OoT for the 7th time
>>
Theyre applying the 20% off? Nice.

I was planning to get the Nintendo Selects version of OoT 3D but I thought Amazon would treat it the same as the original version, not a new game. Not bad for $16.
>>
>>330085740

Normie trap.

It starts with buying a car, then it never ends.
>>
>>330080450
>Amazon is already capping it at max 1 per person.

Good.

That means that only people who want the games for themselves will get it, and not just scalpers buying a shitload and then resell them for ridiculous prices when Nintendo eventually runs out of copies like they usually do.
>>
I preordered Pikmin 3 and Tropical Freeze. This is probably the only not terrible thing Nintendo has done in quite some time.
>>
>>330080041
>Yoshi's New Island

I can't stop laughing

I got OoT 3D for $17.11 after taxes. Not bad at all.

>>330080041
$16 is a fantastic deal for Dong Freeze.
>>
ayyy this is off topic but...

Does anyone have any grips they would recommend for the 3DS? Or something like that?

I like the system but my hands cramp up after only 20 minutes so it takes like 5 eternities to finish a game. This happens with all square controllers, I can't play an NES either. The Vita triggers make that handheld alright.
>>
>>330089663
Circle pad pro if not using a N3DS.
>>
>>330089663
Cybergadget grip is really nice.

>buying ANYTHING "Greatest Hits"

Nope

Will these be released digitally?

Kinda related to buying games.
>bought the Best Buy Gaeber Klub thing, but didn't "register" it with my account yet (woman told me I could still use it, though)
>see Wind Waker for $40
>$10 cheaper than it usually is
>go to cashier
>says that I don't get anymore of a discount since it's already at the Gaeber Club discount
>bought it anyway, but still have it sealed with receipt
Is this really a thing or did she just tell me that so I wouldn't get anymore of a discount? How do I know what games are "at the gaeber klub discount already"? I kinda got the membership on a whim, so I'm not sure about all the ins and outs of it.
>>
>>330092562
The 20 percent off stacks with sales and its 20 percent off all new games
She was wrong
>>
>>330091845
I used to care so much about that, but with everything going up in price, I really don't care anymore. If it's a really cheap game, I'll try to go for "black label". For Nintendo games, they're expensive regardless, so I don't care.
>>
>>330092667
I'm so glad I kept it sealed. I'll probably go back there and try to get my discount.
By the way, how is the Gaeber Klub membership tied to the My Best Buy account? Is it on the flimsy MBB card they give me after I register?
>>
>>330093228
On the reciept that they gave you when you bought GCU there are instructions to activate it online. I'm not sure how you would show it in person after you activate it.
>>
Reminder for those concerned (or just as autistic as I am):
thecoverproject.net
>>
OoT or DKCR3D?
>>
>>330093486
The only instructions I see on my receipt are to download the Bravely Second Demo early. The actual card doesn't have instructions, either.
>>
>>330094489
How about a code?
It's been a while since i've activated it
>>
>>330094606
Nope, no code. Could it be tied to my Member ID or my email/phone number?
>>
>>330095004
Yeah it is tied to your member id

Is Mario Tennis Open worth getting? I loved the 64 version but didn't care for the Gamecube one.
>>
>>330096303
It is the best Mario Tennis ever made.
>>
>>330096303
It's pretty bland but still gets the job done for 20 dollars. I wouldn't pay 40 for it like most did though.

It's still miles better than Ultra Smash but that isn't saying much
>>
I already have A9LH on my N3DS, so I'll probably pick this up if they didn't patch OoThax. It'll be useful so I can downgrade other systems for my friends or for dev fodder.
>>
Hurry up digitizing your shit. I've been waiting a decade for Toadstool Tour and Air Ride, you fucks.

ALBW is getting a Nintendo Selects on Europe?

Fucking NOA. I want that shit.

>>330096860

Youre a fool if you dont think they fixed the hack bug.. its the reason OoT 3D went out of print in the first place.
>>
>>330098294

Here's your (you)
>>
>>330081607
not unless Nintendo fixes Oothax in the Select's release. If they do, the normal versions of the game will skyrocket in price, while the Selects will be dirt cheap or secretly sold pretending to be original releases.
>>
>>330098935

Then only hackfags will pay for the original version at ridiculous prices. Those who actually want to play the game will get to buy it for cheap.
>>
Am i the only one that cringe at those kind of post

buying a 3DS game mean your 3DS is not hacked or you support nintendo by buying their games

in the two cases you are a faggot
>>
>Have to now spend even more money to not get shit boxart.
Why Nintendo, why?

>>330092298
>Box art is also changed

It's awful.

>>330100035
>buying a 3DS game mean your 3DS is not hacked or you support nintendo by buying their games

Not necessarily true.

Many people will pay upwards of $50 (or more, soon) for the original OoT 3D just so they can hack their 3DS.
They're technically buying the game, but they're buying it so they can then hack the system and get free games afterwards.

I doubt the NS version will have the hack bug though.
>>
>>330100330
>>330100437

Autism.

I will take the cartridge out of the box, insert it into my 3DS, then forget about the box forever. Because its a damn box.
>>
>>330100612
dude you dont even need Oot anymore to hack your 3DS
>>
Is Pikmin 3 worth it? Also do you think they will lower Kirby Triple D to the same price?
