So the Charizard 3DS looks pretty cool.

Charizard isn't one of my favourite Fire-Types, but it sure looks cool. I think I might buy it, though I'll probably get the Pikachu edition instead.

I'm wondering if we'll ever get the chance, since we're not able to enter this lottery for one.

[Dragon Trainer X]

Oh, we probably will. It gives them extra bucks when they do, doesn't it?

Yes, but they're only making them available for sale for the people who win this lottery from my understanding. So it seems like they'll never actually be sold regularly.

I'm guessing they're doing this lottery to judge interest and avoid the FE edition 3DS fiasco.

[Dragon Trainer X]

Pretty much. If there's enough people who went to enter, then they'll go and make it for sale for all.

They've done this lottery thing with Pokemon limited edition systems before. They're simply trying to create a collector's item. Or make a collector's item that much rarer.

Again, that's highly unlikely. They never released the Pokemon Center Pikachu version DS Lite for normal purchase, nor the Pokémon DAISUKI Club edition DS Lite, and those were both distributed in literally exactly the same way.

only reason i want a 3ds is for legend of Zelda ocarina of time

Alright. Did Serebii mention it for the others? because this is the only site I get info from.
Maybe I just missed it.

So I just learned that EX troopers was a 3DS game as well and they got May'n to sing the theme song :3

Those were years ago, the DAISUKI Club one was before Diamond and Pearl even came out.

[arceus7]

What fiasco was there with the Fire Emblem 3DS?

[lindsy95]

The server had issues and you were lucky to even see the order page.

The order demand was much higher than Nintendo anticipated, apparently.

Either way, a bunch of people who wanted the bundle didn't get it.

[arceus7]

I wonder how many of those were english imports^

[lindsy95]

Probably not many. I don't think you can export things when you have to buy them from the NoJ site. Not sure, though.

Well, not initially, maybe some of the resells from the people who just wanted to turn it for a profit.

So I got my copy of Virtues Last Reward yesterday along with my awesome watch, and a nice cup for it.

When I watched the opening online I felt it wasnt as awesome as the one from 999 but then I watched it on the 3DS, and it was better than the one from 999 Im so freaking happy right now.

I suggest getting it anyway despite this save data issue you all are having that Im am not

[lindsy95]

Got my copy a day after release (only copy in the store, because I pre-ordered).

Haven't played it much yet, but I will.

I'm beginning to think that all these gloom-and-doom reports about the save corruption are overblown, and very few people have actually experienced. I mean, it's still a problem, just not as prevalent as the internet would have you believe.

I certainly didn't lose my data at any point, despite saving and reloading during escapes dozens of times. But I've finished it now (uh... I think), so I guess it doesn't matter if my data does get lost now.

Also why are those stupid watches such a big deal? I thought about getting one but then I realized that, as much as I love these games, watches would just be extra crap lying around my house.

The fact they're stylish even when put into real life...and I'm sure they are real watches underneath.

I mean, people were going to kill Aksys when they heard the company and Amazon weren't going to sell them.

I guess it's all up to taste, but I think the watches would look nothing if not tacky to wear.

I understand getting mad about something you expected to be getting and it not coming through, but I've also seen people bitching incessantly for the past couple months about not being able to get one because they all sold out.
