Nintendo UK made a big deal out of its new pre-order bonus – the musical treasure chest – for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. In fact, series producer Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata went out of their way to promote the item in a special Vine clip.

But here’s the thing – we’re now hearing GAME won’t be offering the item, even though Nintendo named it as the retailer you could obtain the treasure chest from.

Tweets published by GAME yesterday read:

It’s unclear how the pre-order item will be handled at present. Perhaps it’ll shift to another retailer?

Pokemon X/Y players have found a couple of references to Hoenn in the game. This discovery, along with other hints, has sparked speculation over the possibility of a future Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire remake.

Pokemon Red/Blue were remade as FireRed and LeafGreen for the Game Boy Advance. Then came HeartGold/SoulSilver for the DS. Might Ruby and Sapphire be next for the 3DS?
