Amazon now seems to be selling New 3DS XL systems directly
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Amazon U.S. and Nintendo haven’t had the best relationship. Because things have been sour between the two sides, Amazon tends not to sell hardware directly. It’s been possible to order Nintendo systems on the site, but only through third-party sellers in most instances.
So here’s an interesting development. It seems that, at least for now, Amazon is offering New 3DS XL units directly
. You can buy a black or red portable and have it sold and shipped by Amazon themselves. I’m not sure if this is a permanent thing, but it’s an interesting development nonetheless!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Bumping this to the top. Amazon will begin opening up orders in a half hour (5 PM ET / 2 PM PT). See the specific times in the message above (orders will open at any time during each half hour window), and check out links for each figure below.
Amazon didn’t end up taking reservations for the newest amiibo, but the retailer will be opening orders tomorrow. That includes the latest Smash Bros. figures, silver Mario, and Splatoon.
You’ll be able to order amiibo during different time slots throughout the day. Amazon has narrowed things down to half-hour slots, though items will be sold at any point during those time frames (not necessarily at the beginning of each window). Quantities are expected to be “very limited”.

Pac-Man amiibo
Charizard amiibo

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Amazon and GameStop both have unique pre-order bonuses for Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition.
On Amazon
, those who reserve the 3DS package will receive the retailer’s exclusive Vampire Lord unlock bonus. This unlocks the ability to earn the Vampire Lord character. Amazon’s description notes, “The Vampire Lord is a dark yet noble monster. Rumor has it that its bite has the power to turn others into vampires.”
GameStop’s bonus is slightly different. By pre-ordering Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition there, you’ll be able to obtain an exclusive Relic that will help you evolve the Apocalypse Monster.

Amazon Canada is now taking pre-orders for the silver Mario amiibo. Reservations can be placed here. Keep in mind that Amazon Canada doesn’t ship to the U.S., sadly!
Just like with other retailers, Amazon Canada lists a May 29 release date for the silver Mario amiibo. That still hasn’t been confirmed by Nintendo at this point, but it’s pretty much a lock.

Update (5/1): Pre-orders open at Best Buy.
Pre-orders are now live for Mighty No. 9’s physical version. You can reserve the game on Amazon here
or GameStop here. Note that there is not a 3DS option at present, which makes sense given how the portable versions are arriving later.
It’s also worth mentioning that Amazon and GameStop are listing the same price point. Mighty No. 9’s physical release appears to be priced at $30.
