New Nintendo 3DS Comparison and Amiibo Videos

Earlier, we posted a video of the unboxing of the New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition, and now we have also uploaded some videos comparing the New Nintendo 3DS to the 3DS XL.

In these videos, we compare the speed in which it takes the systems to turn on, how long it takes to load a web page on the browser, and the amount of time you would need to wait to start playing your favourite game. We also take a little peek into the Amiibo settings of the New Nintendo 3DS. Enjoy!

New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition Unboxing

As some of you may know, Club Nintendo of Europe recently sent out emails to selected member, offering the a chance to be the first people to purchase and own the New Nintendo 3DS in Europe with a special set of commemorative cover plates.

I was lucky enough to receive an email and have decided to show you lovely readers what it looks like in the flesh. I’ve also uploaded several images of this beastie after the break and will upload some comparison videos and a review at a later date! Enjoy! [Apologies for sounding exhausted in the video, just had a Biology exam and a six hour Biology lecture]

Nintendo of America Receiving Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition

Those of you who have been down because they are not getting a Limited Edition pack for Majora’s Mask 3D can finally rejoice as Nintendo of America has just announced one, and it’s a bit different to the European one.

Instead of getting a steelbook, a pin and a poster, those who order the US Limited Edition pack will receive a figurine of the Skull Kid character. Personally, now I am a bit jealous of the American Limited Edition pack!

Check out the entire announcement after the break!

New Nintendo 3DS to Retail for £156?

Earlier, we reported that Club Nintendo members in Europe have been receiving an offer to purchase and own the New Nintendo 3DS before the official European release date. The listing on the Nintendo Store which the email links to includes an overview of what the bundle consists of… along with their value.

As you can see, the value they have given for the New 3DS console is £155.99, so could this mean that the system will retail for that amount of money upon release? In my opinion, I think that price is quite reasonable, only £6 more expensive than how much the original 3DS retails for on the Nintendo Store. We are also given an insight on how much the Cover Plates may retail for. Apparently, they will be going for about £8 per set.

Unfortunately, I can’t confirm these prices 100% yet, but what do you think? How much would you pay for a New Nintendo 3DS? Tell us in the comments below!

Club Nintendo Europe Offering Ambassador Edition New 3DS for Selected Members

UPDATE 2 – I just found the Term and Conditions page of the promo which states that delivery will be completed until the 23rd January 2015 which contradicts my earlier update… SORRY! [haha]

UPDATE – I rung Nintendo’s Customer Service today to enquire about delivery times and they stated that they do not know when the consoles will go out to Ambassador participants and the 3 to 5 days delivery is a placeholder so it is possible the 28th January 2015 is false information.

Nintendo of Europe seem to be starting off 2015 with a bang. This morning, selected members of Club Nintendo Europe have received an email offering them a chance to purchase the New 3DS in white earlier than anyone else in Europe. Not only will they be able to purchase it early, but they will also receive special Ambassador Cover Plates [which won’t be available anywhere else], a charging cradle and a set of Super Smash Bros. Cover Plates.

If you have received this email and are considering about purchasing it, it will cost you about £179.99/€199.99 with free delivery [some countries will charge a bit extra for delivery] and it will be apparently be delivered by the 23rd January 2015. If you can’t quite decide, you will need to make sure you do by Monday 12th January 2015 at 23:59 [UK Time] as that is when the promotion ends.

Check out the email after the break!

RUMOUR – HMV to Phase Out Gaming?

UK entertainment retailer, HMV, have been a bit up and down over the past couple of years. In 2013, the company entered administration which forced the company to close several stores and make several employees redundant. However, they quickly got back on their feet and were even able to reopen some of their closed stores.

More recently however, in early 2014, they ended their trade-in programme for video games, which meant they could no longer purchase used games from customers. Unfortunately, it seems they may start to phase out gaming altogether in the near future.

Find out more details after the break!
