Ok awesome. Appreciate the updates dude. Let me know when you get the £5 worth of points. Still holding out for a £40 pre-order deal. There's usually always one before a game is released.

£16 in-store at Game apparently but stock is extremely limited so check online first. Stock check doesn't seem to work on the mobile site so load the full site if you're on a phone

Not really a deal, but seems to be the cheapest option around atm:
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS) is £29.95 at TGC.
Amazon France have it for around the same price in euro: €37,99. Might be cheaper than TGC if you live in one of the countries they offer free shipping to.

That's the price I was waiting for on this and Majora, thanks!
Just a little heads up:
Majora's Mask LE is now available for 48EUR at amazon.fr
http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00S84UAIM/
It was 55EUR before and they haven't changed the preorders. You have to cancel and reorder.

Snagged one! Cheers. £39 inc shipping.

The best price guarantee should trigger which refunds you the difference in the end.

Also available at amazon.de. I don't know why prices on ebay are so high, it's available pretty much everywhere I looked/asked.
but in amazon.de it comes and goes.
the regular edition has not been available for a while
but still, ebay prices are crazy, no reason for that at all.

It was unavailable in many places including amazon during the weekend and lots of people have more money than patience
Well, i think it's a little shameless that they don't change the amount immediately.
Maybe it will raise in price again? I doubt that they will give you the lowest price that ever happened in retrospect. Maybe they do, who knows. But I wouldn't count on it. At least it's fast to cancel and reorder.

That's actually what amazon guarantees for pre-orders and so far I never had a problem. It doesn't matter in this case but it's useful to know for limited quantity pre-orders where re-ordering might cost you your place in the queue.

Am I right in thinking that I'd be able to play this in English, as if I'd bought it from the UK? Or will it be in French only?
PAL Nintendo games are always multi-language.

That's what I was hoping to hear, thanks. I've never ordered any 3DS games from outside the UK before, so I just wanted to make sure before ordering.
Nintendo games are almost always EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish).
Professor Layton series is an exception. There are multiple versions with different localizations. UK Professor Layton is British English only. They did this because the voice acting + movies take a lot of space. The first Layton game was English voice acting only and had text for FIGS though. The games after that were fully localized (movies + audio + text).
All European Limited Editions of Majora's Mask got that f-ugly German age rating sticker on it, which means it's 99.99999% EFIGS.
According to amazon's Help section it can take up to 48h until the price in every pre-order has changed to the lowest. Every time when someone claims, it didn't work, I just have to ask when the price decreased. People are just too impatient.

What? No way. The game is excellently localized. I played and own both the UK and the Dutch version, and they are both very well done.
Im trying to find a very cheap standard wii remote and nunchuck so I can play SMG2 on wii U.
Cheapest I can find is CEX for the pair at £17
Does anyone have experience buying from them online? Do they send you the shoddy ones?
Id go in to a shop but they dont have them in my area

I dunno man, I just can't play games in Dutch. They come up with the weirdest translations. Some stuff sounds cool in English, but just not in Dutch. Have you ever played Mario Kart with Dutch screen text? The track translations :O
But I'm having a hard time with Dutch media in general. I don't think Dutch is a particular pretty language to work with in a creative way.

I have the same problem with (localized) German media. If something is originally done in German it's fine, but anything dubbed/translated is unbearable.
Well if you ever played the fully localized version of Metal Gear Solid, that was released in Germany, literally nothing else will be unbearable anymore.

Most of the time it's still better than English dubs. I really don't understand why someone would opt to play a Japanese game translated into English rather than into their mother tongue. The people doing those translations are all supervised by the same Nintendo staff in Frankfurt. That's the reason pretty much all Nintendo translations are good, no matter the language.
It's strange though, that it's always the Dutch and Germans who are complaining about translations/ dubs into their own language.

In general I would agree with you. I was unlucky enough to accidentally boot up Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom with Dutch dubs and it was cringeworthy. But the Layton translations are really well done.
There are awful North American dubs too, btw. I suggest you play some Tales games or something...
Dutch not being a pretty language to work with creatively is being intellectually lazy imo. It may be harder than - say - French or so to make it sound nice. But it's definitely not an ugly language, and you can be very creative with it. But, like the French would say: "Les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas." (Smaken verschillen.)

Nintendo translations are usually good (and were amazing in the SNES days), but not all games are translated by Nintendo.
I grew up with games being English. I started importing games early because many games were not released here. German is just not a language that is very well suited for videogames in my opinion, it always sounds awkward and unnatural to me. It's just a personal preference.
Yeah, I know about that. I remember when Layton was fully done in Dutch that the biggest Nintendo fan of a big gamer magazine over here went to Frankfurt to do the translation.
As for games, we usually don't have Japanese voice tracks on European games. So I basically grew up preferring English for my games. When it comes to Ghibli films for example, I always play the Japanese voices with English subs.
That's true.
I was amazed that Ace Attorney:Trials and Tribulations for DS was ONLY German and Dutch!
I can read German perfectly and put up with it for a couple of episodes but it really, really put me off. I sold it.
I don't play anything other than in English, even though I use German every day and Spanish is my native language.

I bought a wii balance board from CEX online, and it was like new when it arrived. Of course,a sample size of one doesn't really tell you anything.
I'm the same way. It's been years since I played anything with german subs, or read a book with a german translation. It's just a real tricky language to get right, especially if you have to consider settings, work with predefined characters and stuff. German can very easily sound extremly stiff and unnatural, even good translations can end up being less enjoyable for me than an average english job.
Of course english has the advantage of not being my primary language, so I'm less critical of it due to lacking experience.
We're a critical bunch by nature. But honestly, we didn't really have much of a choice for many years, with everything being dubbed and subbed in Austria/Germany and not having the possibility to enjoy the original content most of the time. And with the vast amounts of localisations also came a good bit of sub-par efforts, and you tire of them eventually.

There are a lot of counterfeit Wii remotes out there (easy signs are Wii logo absent from front and Nintendo engraving on battery cover absent) so you would have to put faith in CeX sending a genuine one and them knowing the difference at trade-in. Counterfeit Nunchuck are a thing too but no idea how to tell the difference there.
For that reason I'd prefer to go with somewhere where you can actually see pictures.
Either way the expectation should be you'll need to clean off price labels, dirt and other things.

Official Nunchuk will have the Nintendo logo on the connector.
I'm also having trouble finding a good deal on an official Motion+ Remote and nunchuk. :/
Nippon Yasan has the Remotes for ~27.

People looking for wii motes may want to check your local tesco that stocks games. I just noticed they had them for £10, and they had the label out for wii u pro controllers for the same price, but they were out of stock.

Is KH 2.5 worth getting just for BBS? I'm not a fan of KH2 and won't replay it, but I heard good things about BBS.
Well, first of all, the Final Mix version of KH2 is a pretty big improvement over vanilla KH2 with all its additions & changes, so I wouldn't dismiss it straight away. If you had problems with the difficulty being too easy & there not being enough extra things to do, the Final Mix version is a big improvement in those regards and might change your mind.
Second, I doubt you'll like BBS if you don't like KHII. The series is not for you.
Got it for £26.79 via Flubit when Amazon dropped the price to just under 30. Is tempting from TGC as their service is solid.

Could someone clarify about digital soundtrack that comes with collector's edition, limited edition etc. Since it is not on a disc like most collector's/limited/etc edition are. How exactly does it work? Where do you redeem the soundtrack? Is it through PSN? If that is the case, can it be copied to the computer? Is there any form of DRM?

Well I enjoyed KH a lot. For some reason KHII just felt different to me and I enjoyed it a lot less. BBS seems generally praised by most people.
