When this game was announced, I said to myself I would wait until the last day to see if Nintendo releases a bundle for the 3DSXL. Now after seeing how all the Bundles come with Pre-Installed games, like Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, WWHD, Fire Emblem, etc., I don't think I want it now.
I mean, I know it's awesome to not carry any cards and just switch games whenever you feel like. But since I love Zelda to death so I prefer having a physical copy of the game. Just so I can put it on my collection of Zelda games. (I would love to include special edition consoles in my collection, but it's an expensive task tbh.)
The 25th Anniversary Zelda 3DS was brilliant and it came with a physical box of the game! Why couldn't do the same with this bundle!! I would even consider getting it if the Bundle was like the original Nintendo DS that came with Mario Kart DS. Even though it wasn't a complete box, it came in a nice CD-type paper box with manual and everything.
I was really close to getting the Pokemon XL but so glad I didnt now. That DS shall be mine.
But if you order the game from GAME in the UK you get a musical Treasure chest which you probably don't get with the console like the Ganon figure. Sucks. Why can't i have everything.
Positive: if this leak is true, which it seems to be, this means that NA is also getting the badass special edition LoZ 3DS XL. Which is fucking sweet. Looks like I'll finally upgrade to the XL.
Negative: there's a deal to trade in your current 3DS to lower the price of the Luigi's Mansion combo set, but not for the LoZ one. Naturally.

Nintendo should at least make the colors available online through their shop only if they don't want to risk wasting money on them. I mean really I wouldn't mind if they didn't start manufacturing the 3DS a week after I ordered it. I love that Turquoise and Pure White.
Might just snag one of those up as I'm planning on trading in my old 3DS for an XL soon. Plus I entered all my Wii game PIN codes last night and they put me up at 1500 coins.

Don't forget, if you have any digital content and you sell your 3DS before transferring over everything, you lose it. Because Nintendo.
Both need to be connected to the internet during the transfer too, and it takes quite a while.
In other news!
Ace Attorney Dual Destinies is out on the eShop! If you lot haven't already bought it, get right on that.
I was hoping they would put out other new things (or bring back popular items like the 3DS Game Card Case). Ugh, I guess my coins are just going to continue piling up.

What is the cradle for, anyway? Just for looks? I saw it on Club Nintendo when it first popped up before selling out but thought it looked 100% useless.

It's basically just the 3DS XL charger in different colors.
- First two dungeons IGN saw were optional
- These test traditional platforming skills
- One dungeon is set in an expansive, fiery cavern called Death Mountain
- Need to fall from high to low platforms
- These platforms shift, pause, cross paths
- Distance between the platforms is great, so the 3D effect can come in handy
- Second dungeon also has Link navigating thin platforms
- In this one, a murky abyss replaced the lava below
- Instead of worrying about another dimension, bats attacked the player and made navigating the narrow walkways more difficult
- Certain platforms narrowly brushed by each other
- As such, you need to leap onto the platforms as a drawing and wait for solid ground
- The 7 dungeons of Lorule are important to the story
- IGN’s demo began in Ravio’s shop
- Ravio sells an ice rod, hammer, hookshot, etc.
- Each tool proves useful in a different dungeon, but you won’t know right away which item best suits each area
- Most items seem to cost around 50-80 rupees
- Cash was plentiful in the demo, may not be the case in the final version
- Maiamai: unchin-like creatures scattered throughout the map
- Some are in obvious locations, but others must be located by tracking their cries
- Save ten and you can upgraded an item of your choosing
- You’ll have to own, not rent, the piece in order to do so
- Turtle Rock, Thieves Den locations
- Thieves Den requires a password
- Turtle Rock has you completing an extensive task before entering the dungeon
- Here, you have to reunite three lost children with their mother
- One child is on a nearby shore, another was surrounded by enemies, and the third was stuck on a cliff
- Last one requires you to turn into a drawing, walking behind its wedged shell, and popping back into the world
- Save the children, and you can then hop onto the mother’s back and ride to Turtle Rock
- Ice rod is best for the dungeon
- Earn extra rupees with mini-games
- One is a simple version of baseball in which you whack a ball to break vases
- Another involves dodging a chicken for 30 seconds
- Turtle Rock has freezing lava columns
- Edging around them as a drawing is a common way to get around
- Teetering seesaw platforms have to be frozen in the center to keep them still
- Enemies on the high ground launch projectiles that you have to dodge
- Avoid damage by turning into a drawing
- Thieves Den is more about puzzle-solving than combat
- After meeting a mysterious woman in a jail cell, you’ll direct her to stand on switches and open new areas
- She can’t turn into a drawing like you can, so you’ll do a lot of slipping between prison bars and around edges in an effort to clear a path for her
- Certain enemies will ignore you and charge directly for her, meaning you’ll have to play guard duty as well
