Zelda Breath of the Wild Special/Master Editions, Amiibo- Discussion

I think your highly naive to think that this wont be the NES Classic all over again. Nintendo has shipped/sold roughly 1.5 million NES classics and its still very saught after and hard as hell to find in stores. Nintendo has said that they will ship 2 million Switches by the end of March which is only 500k more then what they have shipped Classic wise and your talking a new console with a broader audience vs a retro console with a niche audience. So keep thinking there wont be mass hysteria just like with the switch because if you do. You couldnt be more wrong.
$60 versus $300? The Switch won't have a broader audience based on simple economics alone.
 
For any of you people who are way smarter than me and ordered more than one Master Edition, and already have your Best Buy ME orders preparing:

I have $200 Amazon GC I can offer for your unshipped Master Editions. From Amazon or wherever. You can do direct shipping from the retailer if you prefer, and if your box you receive is screwed up and the one I receive isn't, I can send you the box! This is my last ditch effort to snag one of these. Long shot, but it doesn't hurt to try.  :D

edited to add: I can also throw in some of my oh-so coveted Nintendo Switch swag from the Switch and Play events (1 pin + 1 tech taco)! (which is worth a surprising amount for some reason.)

Zelda Wii U & Bomberman on BB finally changed to preparing (Zelda SE hasn't, since I ordered in store pickup). :)
Plus my NES Classic shipped yesterday. Looking forward to this week!

My Switch and Guardian Amiibo are preparing and have both charged from BB. Pro Controller and 1-2 Switch are in-store pickups so I may see an email on Wed from BB. Master Edition from Amazon still good. Happy Switch week everyone!

I remember that feeling. I had a PSX at the time (the original before the dualshock system) and my best friend got that for Christmas. I stayed the night like every night during Christmas break and we got all 120 stars and unlocked Yoshi and that cannon Easter egg. Man those were the days... My friend has long since passed, and it is one of my best memories I have with him... Damn I actually remember that whole first day we went and his mom bought him that system...
 
Oh baby!! Master Edition preparing to ship from best buy.
My switch is preparing and got charged for it, but master edition and special edition just show preordered. Hoping it's just due to different warehouses processing them at different times and not a pending cancellation.

 
So i have it preordered at a store doing a midnight launch.  Whats the odds i can walk in and get my orders at that time with no hassle? And will i get the poster too?

 
I'm back to ruin your lives. Here's a leaked cutscene explaining the game's story and a lot of the tidbits from the trailer. (It seems very early on though based on Link's clothes/weapons, I assume when he's first leaving the great plateau - the worst part is it DOESN'T FINISH)

If you wanna watch it, do it quick because it's youtube and it's gonna get taken down real soon. (Added a second link in case the first one is taken down.)

I think I just spoiled something about the Zelda story for myself 

Semi-Theory spoiler:

It all starts with the master sword and zelda's timeline when you start to notice a common thing.

I kept wondering why Nintendo keeps pointing out the Master Sword in the interviews and the name for the flower next to it.

I have to wait to see if it is true or not.

Just remembered my wife has work all next weekend. I'm so pumped to marathon the game!
Girlfriend works next weekend as well. Only issue is the funeral I have to attend on Saturday. Debating if I test this portable feature of the system out...

My Master Edition still isn't canceled... think I may try to get 350 for it. I'm just not seeing the need for the bonus stuff, I think it was just sleep deprivation hype.

I think I may try still to trade mine for a Switch system. Maybe not at launch but once the system is a little more available. Probably a ridiculous idea lol

What's the point of posting it here, looking for attention again?

I just don't see the need for him to keep posting that he's going to resell it when others are having a hard time getting one.

Really what's the point? Is he trying to make people envious of him or something?

If I end up not keeping it either I'm giving a friend dibs or it'll end up on craigslist. One of my actual friends wants it... I'm not just going to toss it at some random person on here who I have no clue about.

Anyways, paid almost everything off on Amazon with credit... should be done with it all next week, finally.

The posters are pretty limited. My store only got about 30 and I'm guessing most places will just give them to the first people in line.

There are files in BotW for 3 new 30th anniversary Zelda amiibo:

  • Majora's Mask Link
  • Twilight Princess Link
  • Skyward Sword Link
On one hand, I want them.

On the other hand, I hope these were cancelled and the files were just left in because my god I don't have any money left for these little toys. Nor do I have the space. Please have mercy Nintendo.

That's me. I'm pretty done trying to collect all the Amiibo at this point, but nothing disappointed me more than young link being excluded from the 30th anniversary set...so I would buy all of those in a heart beat. Please do it Nintendo (but please wait a little bit...XD).
