Really Starting to Dislike NOE/NOA

I mean Zelda comes out next week here, which is all fine and dandy, but once again, the Europeans get some nifty bundle, I'm sure there is no Zelda nameplate like the Metroid one, but it's one sweet box and it continues the platinum system, which I always thought was a limited edition type thing.

Argh, why can't they do this here, I mean sure we had Mario, but it's just not the same, and you also styill get the bonus disc.

How much are they selling that for?

Shadow_Link · 03-22-2003, 01:29 PM

Oh come on BAB, you already have a Cube, why would you want to buy another one?

All it is, is a platinum cube in special packaging which comes WITH TWW and the bonus disk.

Besides, us Europeans deserve it after getting Zelda around 2 months after you lot

.

Not to mention getting MP 5 months after you (well, I imported

).

What would you rather have? To wait months for a game, and get offered some bundle you probably wont get because you already have a cube, or get the game early?

I know what I'd rather have.

Perfect Stu · 03-22-2003, 02:26 PM

so BAB, you're saying you would buy another Cube because it came in new Zelda packaging?

wait, that's a stupid question...of course you would! anyone would! that box is so nifty and swell...gosh darn I want a limited edition cube too!

just buy the game and be happy. what's the difference?

Well, Europe gets pretty excluded many times as well, not to mention one of the last people to get games. So, maybe they deserve this sometimes. Though, I dont doubt they will have this bundle (well a similar one) in the US later. Excluding the bonus disc probably.

Ginkasa · 03-22-2003, 05:59 PM

Does Europe have to buy this bundle to get Master Quest or do they do both the bundle and the pre-order thing?

Just curious.

I completley agree with Shadow Link, they deserve those cool promo deals since they are getting everything after us. I'm just glad not everyone swallows marketing tricks as easily as BreakABone does.

*tapes a paper clip to a gamecube*

*sticks it in a box that's different from an ordinary Gamecube box*

*convinces BreakABone that's it special edition*

*makes a sell*

Just joking with you

Preorder disc eh? They finally have promotional movies packaged with a Nintendo system. Is this like the first time, ever?

You should be glad. This is a first.. and will be important for sales.

That's a nice box. Wish I could have it.

BreakABone · 03-23-2003, 12:46 AM

Well, sometimes I think people should just read what I write and not infer from what I wrote, I never said I would buy the console if it came in the packge.
I think it would be nice to have the option to, but I don't even keep the normal box to begin with, and I don't see the problem with Nintendo brining over some of these bundles to the States anyhow, it can't really hurt sales.

One Winged Angel · 03-23-2003, 07:25 PM

well, Gamecube sales in Europe aren't doing very well. The X-Box and PS2 are probably beating them out, so NOA and NOE are probably trying to raise the sales of the cube.

What if I tell you that 4 out 9 stores that I check for games... DON'T SELL gamecubes anymore.

I really don't care as I will be able to order my games online, but Nintendo HAD to drop price earlier on. Since I know they won't start selling GCNs anymore either.
