Amazon/BB/EBGames has this in stock....GO!

Just wished they had this during those pre-order discount before...

 

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD + Wolf Link amiibo - Wii U

$99.99 ?!?!

 

For an HD remake and an Amiibo ?!?!

 

Something is seriously out of whack here...

 

I still preordered, but I'm expecting a price protection on this, it shouldn't be higher than $79.99, and that's still high

 

Thanks for the tip though, always appreciated

[Sennyize]

Pre ordered just in case stock is low. Need to still play through TP and the wolf link Amiibo is a good addition to the set :3

Price does seem much higher than the states ($60 there) so hopefully it goes down to $75... $80 would be pushing it for me..

Eh, remember when Midna's true form was a spoiler? Now she's on the damn cover...

[Sennyize]

It's unavailable at Amazon now but bestbuy has it for $80 http://www.bestbuy.c...e718f3019b9en02

[ragnar14]

Amazon will certainly price correct us, even though they soldout in 12 hours with a $20 markup. Either way, may as well throw in tentative orders everywhere. Although unless we're talking discounts I'm sure I'll just get this instore from EB, everybody else may crush it in shipping.

Best Buy increased it to $100. Doubt Amazon will match them now.

[ragnar14]

WTF. It's $60 in the USA. The amiibo is just timed exclusive to this set, like the green Yoshi was. Maybe they'll charge $20 for it because the amiibo looks kinda big. But there's no way a port of a common/bargain Wii game is worth $80 itself.

 

Edit: Oh, while I'm mentioning amiibo's and Bestbuy. They've restocked some rare ones like Dark Pit and Little Mac:

Amazon restocked Charizard, BB restocked Dark Pit and Lil Mac, Toys R Us restocked Greninja.  And honestly, I was going to get this for myself as a bday gift. But, $100 is insane for a game that's $20 on the Wii.

FYI: not a port; a high-definition remastered version of Twilight Princess, which, if Wind Waker is any indication, will be worth the purchase (now, or later, that's up to you and your wallet).

I don't think BB has ever not honoured their pre-order prices before, for me at least, so for those that ordered it at $79.99, you should be safe. They didn't correct the price for those $25 white DualShock 4 controllers this week, so.

Wind Waker wasn't $100 though.

[VetraX]

Wind Waker wasn't $100 though.

Games weren't $80 in Canada when Wind Waker HD came out, and amiibos didn't exist.

The underlying point to my post, though, wasn't about MSRP, but rather that Twilight Princess > the number of dog shit titles and collector's editions I've seen people here and elsewhere buy on Day 1 in "support" of one publisher, developer, localizing cause, or other. By all means, and I urge this as well, don't buy this for $100 if you a) don't want it, and/or b) feel it's too costly (because it is at $100, you're right). If you're getting it for $80, well, the US are getting it for $60, so, that's essentially what the inflation is right now. Or, you know, in CAG fashion buy this at a later point for much less. Valid points have been made about a lot of Nintendo's game + amiibo bundles being abundantly available weeks after release, so far, and of course there's always the possibility that it's not $100 MSRP come March. And also, that the Wolf Link amiibo, assuming that's what you're really after, will just be made available separately at some point.

Tis up at EB:

https://www.ebgames....-hd-with-amiibo

 

You can't order online and get in-store pickup. According to my local EB allocations will be very limited. So if you want one that isn't beatup you'd best get to your local EB ASAP.

bestbuy link in OP is still available as well. Another option.

[OmegaChaos]

I might just cave in a pre-order it already.

[mcmuffin91]

Sup friends, lurker here who had to check email to remember my account name. I managed to get it on bestbuy before it went up $20.

[EvilChamp]

I just found out about this .... grumble. 

[Coldheat_Dry]

It's available for "Presell", and only $79.99 @ EB Games (Canada) right now:

EB dropped the price? That's unexpected, the CAD is still dropping and economists are suggesting losing another 10¢ this year is very possible. $80 was a kinda poor exchange rate when Bestbuy first popped for a few days at that price, but with the current CAD $60USD should be ~$87.

 

Hrrmm considering the below MSRP price from EB, I'm guessing these might be super common. Like the Animal Crossing set, which was slashed to 50% off a month after it was released...

 

I should mention, EB brick and mortar stores don't save presell price information. So if this is a temporary error and the price goes back up, you'll have an argument on your hands to get it for $80. Save a copy of this listing onto your phone just in case you need it.

Seeing how Amazon and BB have it at this price, it's not an error.

Looks like a price drop already?

At the time of my post Bestbuy was still $100, and Amazon was still soldout (prettymuch since they listed it). But yeah, new price everywhere suggests it's the real Canadian MSRP, and this real price was only set this morning.

 

Now the $70 Bestbuy preorders don't seem nearly as hot. Good luck to anybody who's gonna try calling BB's customer service to get 30% off applied to the real price. I ain't gonna bother

[OmegaChaos]

I'm glad this is the actual price. I couldn't justify paying $100+ for an HD remake with an amiibo.

Based on the exchange rate, it is pretty good.

Noticed some news going around, the Wolf Link Amiibo will be required to access a new dungeon:

Kinda annoying, but obviously they're planning to sell Twilight Princess HDs without Amiibo's. Or else they wouldn't bother?

Seems to be a rumor for now.

[bdavid81]

Ugh, I want the Amiibo, but I didn't like Twilight Princess.... and I can't justify $80 for an amiibo.

Certainly not confirmed, but I don't see any reason to doubt the rumor.

Just buy the combo and flip the game. Reselling Zelda is one of the easiest resales you'll ever do. Put it on eBay for the full digital price ($50USD) with free shipping and it'll go (actually stupid people on eBay may pay more than $50USD in that first week, I think people were overpaying for Majora's Mask when it came out). After eBay/Papal fees you'll get about $45USD, which is ~$65CAD. Then shipping will cost ~$5 for Light Packet to the USA or ~$2 in stamps inside Canada.

Noticed there's a new hardcover Zelda guide for Twilight Princess:

http://www.amazon.ca...=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB

 

I think this is the third hardcover guide TP has gotten. It has the same page count as the most recent version, it may be identical just with a new cover. So if you bought the Zelda guide boxset when it was cheap you may already have it.
