Legend of Korra was delisted from those services as well, so likely a similar situation. That one does not have a physical copy. Transformers Devastation has disc versions, but also one bit of DLC (skins) - completely forgot about that, so something else to consider before its too late.

Nin2-Jump is one of the best kept secrets on Xbox Live. The deal is, it's got an Adventure Mode (which is a very simple platformer that may or may not be to your taste - I liked it for what it is), and a Score Attack Mode. The Score Attack Mode is more or less the "real" game you'll be coming...

Lost Planet 2 is really great and definitely worth 5 bucks. Depressingly overlooked game. It's indeed excellent with the full 4 player co-op, but I enjoyed it single player as well. The co-op is actually still active online, and I even still play it every so often. It is less active than it...

I went for Robin on Tiger Direct - like others, didn't even pop up for me on Amazon on desktop. I did it through PayPal though, and as a result it doesn't show it in my Tiger Direct account's order history, just as a pending charge on PayPal. I didn't get an additional confirmation beyond the...

With AmiAmi, keep in mind that if you get to the shipping quote stage of the order, then change your mind and want to cancel part of it or the whole thing, you can. They officially say you can't, but all you have to do is e-mail them about the order and ask to cancel (one or all of the items)...

I got super lucky and snagged a Pit on Amazon, 1 click ordering saved the day. A reminder if you just got him that way, haven't used 1 click before, and have Prime: check the shipping type on the order after the fact, it may be set to Standard by default, so you'll need to change it manually to...

Friend and I both had our TRU Falcon/Pit cancelled. Not so bad with Falcon at least since we got back ups (and have them already), but with Pit even our Yes-Asia import order was cancelled. @_@ (By the way, does that Gyft.com deal mentioned on the front post still work? I don't see how to get it)

I got the TRU e-mail and ordered a bit more than I did before. I unthinkingly used PayPal, buuuut made the order about 17 minutes ago and no cancellations, so we'll see. I ended up making like four Captain Falcon orders to be safe, including one on DeepDiscount.com. I decided to cancel that one...

I got the "cannot reinstate order" e-mail. I had only pre-ordered Sonic and Ike at the buy-1-get-1-40%-off deal. I've already pre-ordered at Gamestop instead, so while I'll miss the savings, nothing too tragic. But, a friend of mine who had ordered two Pits got the "cannot reinstate" too...

Local Target has shows Captain Falcon in stock, but the guy on the phone just said they got a new shipment (but doesn't know what's in it) and to call back in a few hours when they actually put them on the shelves...? I'll probably just go there and see what happens.... To make sure I read this...

Ike/Sonic TRU pre-order cancelled. Not leaving anything to chance, I went ahead and pre-ordered them at Gamestop (I'm getting Shulk anyway). Still, will be curious to see if "fulfilling orders" actually means we'll all get them anyway or if it'll just be compensation. My single Captain Falcon...

Hahaha, so I noticed over at AmiAmi.com (Japanese hobby shop) right now, Wii Fit Trainer is sitting right at number three in their top views, between the more site typical Nendoroids and Figmas. The exchange rate IS really good right now (1 dollar = 118 yen, as of this writing), so it's not as...

"Nintendo toys sell out like crazy" is certainly a better headline than "Warehouses full of albino fitness fanatics". As nuts as this seems right now, I can't blame them for being cautious.

Mario Kart 8 is over - took about 48 minutes total to sell out.

I haven't really been all that into Mario Kart since the N64, but MK8 pushed all the right buttons for me - it just feels really nice and looks amazing. Of course, if you've never liked Mario Kart ever ever, then maybe not...and it also helps that I have friends to play it with (all the more...
