Is it worth waiting and buying the new zelda 3ds xl bundle?

[Ratatapa]

Do you want to wait and buy it?

Is it worth waiting and buying the new zelda 3ds xl bundle?

The bundle isn't even on sale though is it? I thought it was always 220 bones.

[Gokku]

I know the bundle isn't on sale yet, but I liked the design, I guess I'll go grab a black xl and buy something to stick in it

[Serra]

It might be on sale on black friday, it might not -- I don't recall seeing any deals yet. It also comes with a download of the game, not a physical copy, so depends on how much you want to have an actual game vs just a download. Honestly though, as a huge Zelda fan, I wish I had waited for it. But, then again, I'm probably a bigger Zelda fan than most, and repeatedly seeing it eats a part of my soul..

You can go ahead and pre-order them from gamestop right now. It's totally worth the extra 20$ because it comes with the new game and is one of the first decent looking special edition 3dsxls

Zelda, Pikmin, and Frederator cartoons coming to 3DS
Nintendo Video snags Bravest Warriors, Bee and PuppyCat

3DSZelda, Pikmin, and Frederator cartoons coming to 3DS photo



Nintendo's dabbled in 3DS-exclusive animation before with the short-run Kid Icarus: Uprising series, and it looks like that dabbling is about to reach new heights. They're rolling out five new Nintendo Video series, starting today. The Legend of Zelda: The Misadventures of Link works to show Toon Link "in a new and hysterical light" while Pikmin Nature Documentaries sounds like a classic episode of Once Upon a Pixel but is focused on Pikmin instead of the Animal Crossing world. Should be a hoot.

Most surprising to me is to see not one but two shows from Adventure Time alumni. Bravest Warriors and Bee and PuppyCat are already pretty huge on YouTube, so snagging them for the 3DS is quite a coup. The last show in the line up is Wildheart Riukiu -- a 16-bit animated show from the creators of Meat or Die. No word on if the shows will be presented in 3D or not, but we'll know soon enough.

Speaking of Toon Link, The Wind Waker HD seemed to get a much more warm reception than the original did. My guess was that part of that is because the game was first released in a time when The Lord of the Rings films were the dominant voice in "high fantasy." That was about ten years ago. It looks like we've largely gotten over the need to see fantasy prove how "realistic" it can be and are more able to embrace simple, imaginative, charming fiction that has nothing to prove. The crossover success of Adventure Time and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is proof of that.

Seeing Toon Link share the same billing with characters created by Pendelton Ward and Natasha Allegri feels like a perfect fit.

Knew I had over 500 points to be able to get a cradle, 300 of them expired a couple of months ago apparently. FML.

Seems appropriately placed to me! I am super excited about Bee and PuppyCat actually, that is some great news.

I don't think Club Nintendo points ever expire.. The yearly counts reset to 0 in June (I think), but your total that you can spend never expire.
