When Nintendo shared its PAX West lineup a couple of weeks ago, it said fans who pre-ordered Pokemon Sun/Moon at the expo would receive “a collectable gift.” Now we know what that is. At its booth, Nintendo was giving out an exclusive poster.
Here’s a better look at the gift from Nintendo’s Twitter page:

Amazon has discounted a bunch of upcoming games that can be pre-ordered on the retailer’s website by 10 percent. This includes Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Pokemon Sun/Moon, and quite a bit more.
You can see what’s coming up for Wii U on Amazon here. The 3DS list is here. All games can be found here.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Retailers are now starting to take pre-orders for the new Meta Knight Nendoroid. You can reserve it on Play-Asia here or Good Smile here.
On Play-Asia, there’s a pre-order deadline of September 18. You’ll need to reserve it by July 21 on Good Smile.
From the popular ‘Kirby’ game series comes a Nendoroid of Meta Knight! Just like the previously released Nendoroid Kirby, Meta Knight makes use of magnets for posing, making his movements smooth and easy to place in all sorts of different positions!
He also comes with a selection of optional parts including his sword together with large effect parts to display him slashing with the sword. You can also display him wearing his cape as well as transformed into his flying version with interchangeable wing parts! He even comes with parts that allow you to change the direction he is looking allowing for all sorts of awesome Meta Knight poses!
The Meta Knight Nendoroid will ship in March.
Pre-orders open for the first volume of the Zelda: Twilight Princess manga
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 6 Comments
We recently learned that VIZ Media would be handling the English version of the Zelda: Twilight Princess manga. Amazon has now opened pre-orders for the first volume here (Amazon Canada here).
VIZ had previously confirmed plans to have Twilight Princess’ initial volume ready in March, but Amazon seems to offer a more specific date of March 7. We also have a price point: $10.
