Hello, that is a nice looking case.that's cute... but i don't like the thought of pikachu being upside down when opened.
my protector looks better.
I had an ambassador system as well. I transferred it to my 3DS XL so I could sell it. Only issue is now I have to memory card swap in order to play the ambassador games. You end up needing to keep and use your original memory card, but on the new system.
Weird, I'm on my fourth system and an upgraded memory card and I have no problems with my ambassador games.
Yeah this seems fair for the price. Considering it will probably be valuable in the future.
The only ones I played were Yellow & Gold. I played yellow for hundreds of hours, but just could not finish gold. I just lost interest at that point. My girlfriend who is 36 doesn't like or play any of the games, but loves Pikachu to DEATH! I got her the Pikachu XL which she has still sealed with her other swag. Gonna get her this one too for her collection.
Same here. Went from OG red 3ds > Blue 3ds XL > Pikachu 3ds XL > MH4U n3ds XL.
Thanks for the heads up EvilChamp. Going to head to the store and put $50 down on Pikachu system. But I never feel like an in-store pre-order is anything close to guaranteed. They don't call people when it comes in and they'll do whatever with your shit. So I ordered one of these bundles online just in case.
Dude that's odd you saying that. I felt the same way about gold I climbed that tower (can't remember the name of it) and just quit there. When the original 3 games were out most of my friends played a lot. Me and another guy in the neighborhood got Stadium and would have regular tournaments. Those were good times, but when I got halfway into high school everyone just dropped off. I never got Stadium 2, because all my buds didn't play anymore.
I meant besides them. None of my stores locally have it available to order in store.
I did almost the same. OG 3ds > Blue 3ds XL . Zelda 3ds XL > Animal Crossing n3ds (regular, which I immediately put Fire Emblem faceplates on)
I wish I did the same now lol. I ended up keeping all of my systems though now they are just boxed up under my bed.
I think the demand for these is a bit low since the switch comes out like a week later and many feel hard to justify another 3ds unless they REALLY want a pikachu one.
These things are always in stock for a few days and or weeks but eventually they become rarer as time goes on
haha no no nooo. The mediocre designs stay stocked for a few days to months depending on the quality of the design.
People don't want to pay shipping and be forced to buy a 3rd party charger. Also if pre-orders DO get shafted it is usually the online orders and not the in-store ones. Gamestop is usually pretty good about sending things though.
That's not true. Generally speaking the website has much safer fulfillment. Unless you have credit card problems or something gets cancelled then you'd be out of luck. There is no rescuing of cancelled orders online. But site orders are much more dependable. I've never had a cancellation from anything online, especially the rarest of things. Stuff gets screwed up for in-store pre-orders all the time.
Hahaha site orders more dependable? What's next...rapid over the phone service from Gamestop's 3 customer service employees?
I bought one of these in Dubai, it had the same UAE sticker and it IS region locked to North America. They had a couple of other versions like the all white one. United Arab Emirates and Malaysia use the same region as USA and North America, but have some of the asian limited editions.
The analog stick isn't too hard to replace if you are semi-handy with a screwdriver. There are a bunch of videos on DIY repair.
*shrug* I guess I can only speak to my own experiences. I've never had a problem with online orders and I've only ordered rare things.
Yeah they're definitely legit. It's not so much that they're 'unlocked', just that the consoles shipped to those places are shipped with Region 1 firmware, hence why you can just import one of those and play your North American collection just fine. I imported the Pikachu special edition and pearl white New 3DS XL's from Play Asia and they work just fine. Not sure how the eShop is handled though as I don't use it and haven't tried accessing it. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that.The system Play-Asia is selling is has the U.A.E./Malaysia/Singapore sticker I remember first seeing on aftermarket copies of Xenoblade:
They're not released from NOA, but as far as I know, they are legitimate and the same region as what we buy here.
