Support NeoGAF

[DaBoss]

I really liked Sticker Star. The game made me think, which many games don't really tend to do outside of puzzle games. And I seemed to have completed the game without using the right order, so there doesn't seem to be linearity.

The inclusion of the world map was the best thing to do for the game.

My least favorite part about the game was the combat outside of boss battles. The boss battles required trial and error, which was really interesting considering many games don't do that anymore. The regular battles are just boring and easy. Thankfully combat can be avoided for the most part so it made Sticker Star more enjoyable.

EDIT: Why do you have RIP in brackets?

Sorry, just a joke.

He abandoned gaf, so he's "dead" to us.

side note: now if he yells at me on Twitter, that's how I'll know he's still lurking :lol

He still reads GAF, don't you worry.

SDM. They should have it for $19.99? It has a higher price tag, but scans in on clearance.

Yeah, I had been checking my local SDM here in Burnaby but haven't seen any yet.

was it recent the last time you saw any in stock/which store?

 

[Hero of Legend]

I didn't know EvilMario left, what happened?

Also what's wrong with Dream Team?

 

[Tuck]

...

so just make it a platformer then...

I know, its an odd thing to say since Paper Mario is supposed to be an RPG. But making peace with the fact that it isn't (Its an Adventure game with turn based combat) allowed me to get enjoyment out of it.

Disappointing, but Mario & Luigi should make up for it.

 

[Sora_N]

It's not that I hate Sticker Star but the battle system is just really really annoying. There are no real positives or rewards for participating in combat. I would have enjoyed it more if stickers didn't deplete, or there was more point in fighting. I dunno.

 

[SMT]

Damn, I didn't receive those sdm coupons.

Nothing wrong with Dream Team. I just feel it's going to be better than Shitter Star.

EM is on hiatus cause NeoGAF is filled with poopy heads.

I'm just sick of the Vita/Wii U doomed threads and the stupid fanboys in them.

Tried to do the trade 1 for M&LT.

The promo started yesterday but since the game comes out tomorrow..... there was nothing they could do. yeeeesh.Annoying.

"To pre-order you'll need to leave a $10 deposit but you can't because it's free."

"You can't just.... put an order through on the site for it or something?"

"No, you'll just have to come back" yeeesh.

 

[Fuzzy]

It's been know for a long time that you can't do a Trade 1/2 for a game until that game has been released. It's stupid but how is that new for FS/BB?

I think if I actually show up to one of these GAF meetups (I've only gone to tsilon ones) then we should fight. It would clear up this hatred we have for each other.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Hi guys! I was hoping to find some friendly Canadian GAFer to help an Aussie out with the Canadian Club Nintendo.

Basically, I was hoping to partner up with someone who could collect packages (very) occasionally and send them through to Australia (you have to have a Paypal account so I can reimburse you for postage and maybe give you a small fee for your trouble). In return, you can keep some of the CN rewards.

PM me if you can help.

Canadian Club Nintendo = US Club Nintendo, you'd probably be better off just going through the CN thread. Yankees would have cheaper shipping and there's more of them.

Nintendo customer service are on to my living in Australia.

I bought the US 3DS and linked it up with a brand new CN account the second the eShop opened. A month or so later, NoA stopped allowing foreign credit cards on the eShop, so I switched to the Canadian store.

Then the SMT4/FE:A offer came up and I tried to redeem the code, but I forgot to update my CN address to a Canadian one, so they gave me a US code instead. As I'd already cleaned out my US credit, I much preferred to have it added to my Canadian balance.

So I emailed Nintendo asking them to give me a Canadian code instead.

Now they're asking for a valid address to prove I really live in Canada, so I need a Canadian address to put down.

Also, I have a lot of coins that I can't spend otherwise.

I can give you mine? Or you can use a Walmart address here

 

[QaaQer]

Any way a Canadian can get in on that Xenoblade US Gamestop blowout?

Yours will be better. Even if I'm just giving half my coins away, it's still better tham letting them go to waste. PM me.

It's amazing that FS/BB still won't allow this in their system. I guess they must be doing well enough so that they don't need to change, but their trade-in system is so inefficient compared to EB.

Aside from actually going to a Gamestop in the States and buying it there, I really don't know.

 

[soultron]

I'd probably find one of the community B/S/T threads and find a trustworthy US GAFfer to pick up and ship a copy to you. Should be fairly easy.

Anyone know if that Target $175 black 3DS XL offer applies here in Canada?

 

[Liquidus]

Order it from their site and pay the additional money to have it shipped to Canada.

 

[Jotamide]

Holy shit! SMT Soul Hackers qualifies! The last time they were taking 3DS games I remember they only listed MonHun. This is awesome!

 

[isny]

It's not on the website.

 

[arts&crafts]

Did anyone got a mail of this? If only I got one, I will probably buy WiiU with it. Lucky for thos who got it. Damn.

Damn that is sahweet, I have been meaning to get a 3DS. I wonder if I will get one of these.

 

[Lexxism]

Actually, you can get those from your mailbox. I forgot to mentioned it. So, try checking your mailbox if you got one.

It's sold out everywhere, if people had to pay the extra 17 bucks in shipping, they would do it.

I second this.

Use the 20x coupon instead. You wont get 30% off the Wii U; it'll be the cost price, which is a few dollars less than retail. You also cannot mix and match those coupons. As an SDM employee who has bought all his consoles (Wii, PS3, 360, and 3DSXL) there, I know! Promise! I'm supposed to get 30% off all regular priced items as per my discount, but never, ever, have I been able to get 30% off a console (or non-value priced games, for that matter). Cost price is almost never 30% less than retail. Hope this helps!

 

[Fuzzy]

This should be posted for every US retail deal for stores that are also in Canada: No, never.
Saying that, 3DS XL (including black) are on sale for $180 this week at FS so price match at BB to get it for $178.

There should be a thread going up soon but until then check the Toronto OT.

wait, is there actually an exception on those coupons saying the discounted price cannot be lower than the wholesale cost of the item? how can they get away with not honouring the coupon at face value, otherwise?

I'm going Sat and Sun so I'm in for either day if you guys want a meet up. But yeah, as Fuzzy mentioned, the Toronto-GAF thread is probably a better place to organise this in.

Just the usual fine print that the coupons can't be used towards lottery tickets and such. Despite Mr Ectomy not getting a good discount on consoles, it seems like SDM is offering a better deal to customers than to employees, go figure, as the fine print doesn't say anything about not being able to use the coupons on electronics.

My coupons are 20%, 25%, and 30% off with no restrictions on electronics. The coupons also don't seem to be unique, so everyone should be able to use em if you want to hand yours off to someone. Is it really worth it to get a Wii-U for 30% off? Isn't that still almost $200 with tax for the basic console?

 

[soultron]

Still, a WiiU basic for 140 before taxes is a better deal than the (in my experience, hard to find) Target deal.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Order it from their site and pay the additional money to have it shipped to Canada.

Not sure they do that...do they...?

Edit: hmm...they actually do ship to Canada. I'll have to mull this over....

I'd prefer a cheaper digital version. Goddamn Nintendo...

$140? They're $299, no?

 

[soultron]

For some insane reason I thought they were $200. My mistake! (A man can dream, right?)

Well, in that case, I'd probably call around and see if you can find the Target deal for the $150 basic Wii U.

Yup, just went into a store and had them scan them. If it was $349.99 minus the 30% discout for the deluxe, AND it included a copy of NSMBU I'd consider biting. The coupons are good until September 9th, so here's hoping for a 20x points event before then.

 

[Returners]

Is it a good time to buy MS points for cheap and wait for the transition to real money?

 

[thefil]

So I traded Dark Moon for M&L today.

The people at BB had trouble getting their system to accept it, and seemed to suspect that the deal might be a misprint. So I'd recommend doing this trade soon if you were planning on it.

oh shit. hopefully it's still available tomorrow evening. fs also has dark moon on their list. I think that might be plausible because it wasn't on the trade 2 for 60 nor was it on the list for Pikmin or Dragon's Crown
