Some GameStop pre-orders for the Zelda: Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL were a bit screwy this week. Certain consumers experienced issues checking out and were unable to complete their order, yet still received an email confirmation.
It turns out that GameStop’s payment system encountered problems. While the handheld was reserved, consumers will have until the end of business day on Monday to pay for it. Systems that aren’t claimed will reenter GameStop’s system on Tuesday.
If you were one of the people who encountered a similar situation, be sure to pay as soon as possible. As for those who still want a Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL but haven’t been able to get an order in, be on the lookout on Tuesday.

GameStop has already sold out of the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate New 3DS XL bundle. The package was definitely in stock longer than the Limited Edition Majora’s Mask system, though product for this one didn’t last long at all. Hopefully you managed to get a pre-order in if you were interested!
Last week, we found out that The Rivers of Alice is on its way to Wii U. Spanish website Revogamers has since caught up with Arturo Monedero from Delirium Studios to learn more about the game. The site sent along the following tidbits from its interview:
- The Wii U version is more polished and it has more content: more puzzles, new items and more music scores.
- It is not as hard as the mobile version. The old one was quite hard because they designed it to teach a lesson to casual gamers attracted to The Rivers of Alice by the music of Vetusta Morla.
- Delirium Studios considers Wii U the best option for a classic graphic adventure game. They are taking advantage of the Wii U GamePad thinking of it as a 1 player screen, with the TV as a support screen. Also, the trust on Wii U and the eShop to enter new markets such as USA and Central Europe because the game was mostly successful in Spanish speaking markets.
- What do you say to gamers who already played it on mobile platforms: “The experience is much better, bigger, with extra levels and new puzzles. It’s not that much larger but it has got some new challenges and rewards. And all other puzzles are been redone a little bit so everything they learned is not enough, they will have to wrack their brains again”.
“The video game is inspired by the imaginary and the lyrics from the records done before by Vestuta Morla. It started with a lullaby [called Los Rios de Alice, The Rivers of Alice] composed by Vetusta Morla many years ago for a non-profit foundation. At the very beginning they agreed to sign over the rights of the lullaby, but we never though that in the end they will compose a whole record for the video game. The project grew so much that, at the end, they decided to make that OST exclusively for it. At this point, the game was in development so actually it inspired the music closing this magic circle.”
The Rivers of Alice should be out on Wii U before the end of 2015 – sometime before the holidays.
Family Tennis SP launched on the Wii U eShop yesterday. The game is out in both North America and Europe. If you’re curious about the download size, the game weighs in at about 271MB.
