Amazon and Nintendo have long maintained a certain “spat”, so to speak. For some unknown reasons, the company’s hardware was never stocked and sold directly. If you were interested in purchasing any of Nintendo’s systems from Amazon, you would need to do so through a third-party seller.

But now it seems there may have been a breakthrough between the two. One eagle-eyed NeoGAF user noticed that 3DS XL systems are being shipped and sold by Amazon..

It doesn’t appear that the situation has been completely remedied, as the Wii U and 2DS still can’t be purchased straight from the retailer. Still, this looks like a good sign!

Thanks to a prior announcement during a recent Nintendo Direct, we knew Nintendo would release a special collector’s edition for Bravely Default in Europe. The package was officially announced today, and the items included inside were revealed.

Following the news, the official Japanese Bravely Default Twitter account posted a brief message: “For those jealous of the European Deluxe Edition, we’ll make it up to you.”

What could that mean? Might a collector’s edition for Bravely Default be coming to North America as well? Or maybe Square Enix is just preparing something unique for Japan…
