Support NeoGAF

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Came to check if any amiibos went up while I was asleep, and instead all I got was this depressing $99 talk. I guess SMO's price at launch will let us know for sure whether this is the new norm for Nintendo games in Canada, or just a ridiculous precautionary measure.

We all have backlogs. I could go cold turkey for 5 years on game purchases if it meant sending the right message.

I'll stand with you, Uber.

Well, I'll have to get Animal Crossing, SSB, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Mario Party, and any other future Mario titles Day One - but other than that, I'll firmly vote with my wallet.

 

[c-murph]

Well, if anyone else was wondering if Superstar Saga is getting a physical copy, it is.



Amazon.COM link

Oh shit. Updated 3DS graphics?

 

[Lizardus]

Rocket League Switch is $20 USD. Very nice, will be supporting it based on that, 60 fps over visuals and cross network play.

Nintendo nous a confirmé que le prix affiché présentement sur les pré-commandes n'est pas le bon. C'est un "placeholder", un prix suggéré par le détaillant n'ayant pas de rapport avec le prix officiel de Nintendo.
Les jeux de Nintendo ne seront pas 99,99$

Nintendo has apparently confirmed to those guys the 99$ prices are placeholder.

Hopefully it is 24.99 but I might price at 29.99

Why do it like that and how it's been done for the past 2 decades?

 

[trixx]

What the hell? how did you guys get savings on amazon all I see are the regular prime savings of 20% appearing as "E3 savings". What I save all the time as a prime member.

Cancelling ARMS too many games already and screw it at $70 or whatever.

 

[The Elite]

What the hell? how did you guys get savings on amazon all I see are the regular prime savings of 20% appearing as "E3 savings". What I save all the time as a prime member.

There was a glitch Friday night/Saturday morning that double stacked the prime savings with E3 savings.

Also, some games are discounted to $49.99 thanks to Wal-Mart.

 

[Vinc]

Took me a while with the formulas, but it will save me a lot of time in the future! Here she is boys! Yeah, I don't know what's up with the FFXII. Probably going to cancel that one anyways.

That's a beautiful thing you have there. Would you mind sharing the raw sheet with the formulas? I'd love to use something like this to track everything.

How did you sort dates with text like TBD 2018? How did you get Excel to understand that as a date and not a text cell?

oh okay you snooze you lose I guess, oh well. I'd get xenoblade 2 and mario+rabbids if it were cheaper but idk. Would've been nice if it were 30% saved, thank you walmart for some games

 

[The Main Event]

Hopefully it is 24.99 but I might price at 29.99

eShop prices are all over the place. Minecraft is priced at parity. Most $20 USD titles are priced 26 CAD and higher. But then you've got the odd ones like Shantae who's priced at 22.39.

how do you even set a placeholder as $99

 

[Cake Boss]

Do the Walmart pre orders charge you right away or wait until the game is shipped like Amazon?

Wait until the game is shipped.

 

[Porkepik]

So 599$ for xbox one x in canada , how do people feel about that?
Anything over 600$ was a No for me, now I m not sure anymore , I may buy it , it will depend on the trade in promotion

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Did the Metroid Samus Returns CE or Amiibo go up anywhere yet? Just woke up.

I'm using Google Sheets on Google Drive. It actually sorted automatically like that. Just went "Sort Sheet A-->Z" on the date column. I was a surprised as you!

looks like the link is dead now.

 

[The Elite]

I guess the EA Sports titles are not visible enough on Wal-Mart for Amazon to price match them.

Walmart never added them to their E3 deals list.

 

[i-Jest]

Why are Bestbuy and Amazon being so stubborn about putting up Superstar Saga? Well as a Prime member I guess I can afford to wait it out. On a slightly different not, why hasn't Bestbuy put up Etrina Odyssey 5, Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, and Strange Journey Redux? Just let me make the final preorder so I can rest easy.

 

[JDH]

Working here. Just in case here's what it says:

Nintendo has confirmed that the price currently displayed on pre-orders is not the right one. It is a "placeholder", a price suggested by the retailer not related to the official price of Nintendo.
Nintendo games will not be 99.99

Wish Walmart would fix price for Madden. Price is hidden by when added to cart still shows as $79

Is .hack up anywhere? Only game I actually care about.

Thanks so much, man! I'll transfer my haul in there tonight

 

[krae_man]

At this point, I'm convinced that one retailer just screwed up and listed Mario at $100 and everyone else just copied because "they must know something" and nobody wants to admit the screw up and fix it.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

Half the stuff I preordered now show up at regular price with the 20% off E3 when yesterday they were all showing as $49.96 I hope this is just some weird glitch.

At Amazon? What games? Everything seems fine on my end.

Dragon Ball FighterZ, Destiny 2, Forza, Battlefront 2, Spiderman, Code Vein, NBA 2k18 to name a few.

 

[ReddishGUI]

Dragon Ball FighterZ, Destiny 2, Forza, Battlefront 2, Spiderman, Code Vein, NBA 2k18 to name a few.

DBZ, Forza and Code Vein were never $50 afaik.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

DBZ, Forza and Code Vein were never $50 afaik.

They were when I ordered them 2 days ago.

 

[i-Jest]

The newly announced G.U. HD Trilogy? Unfortunately not, was it even announced for localization? I'm under the impression they'll be adding new scenes and stuff.

 

[JDH]

You're welcome! The row with Tax calculates @ 5% GST as I'm in Alberta. You may need to change the formula to whatever your tax is where you may be

how did you make the first row and last like that?

Just used the paint bucket tool to make it grey. I still haven't figured out when you sort by title or date or price that the top bar isn't "sorted" and stationary/not affected. If anyone knows, please share!

 

[Grimsen]

They were when I ordered them 2 days ago.

They didn't come up as 50$ for anyone else here. It would have come up in the thread if it had been a widespread occurrence.

 

[Skikkiks]

Highlight the whole table, go to 'sort range' and check that your data has headers.

 

[killroy87]

I missed DBZ for $50??

Fuck!

 

[knacklover]

Fuck!

You did not, those titles were never 50$.

 

[JDH]

Ah thank you! Template has been updated.

 

[bubaglobalj]

Is 'Hidden Agenda' for PS4 up anywhere for pre-order?

 

[FN-2187]

They were when I ordered them 2 days ago.

Please tell me where I can get $50 Forza. It's the only game left I need to preorder.

 

[semiconscious]

They were when I ordered them 2 days ago.

i want your computer! cuz code vein was never $50 on mine ...

& my spider-man order is still $50...

 

[joedick]

Took me a while with the formulas, but it will save me a lot of time in the future! Here she is boys! Yeah, I don't know what's up with the FFXII. Probably going to cancel that one anyways.

Very handy, thanks for sharing! But by the time you get to some of those games they'll probably be down to $20!

 

[The Elite]

I don't remember ever seeing $50 Forza 7. I would have jumped on that shit.

 

[killroy87]

Yeah. I'm not saying the dude is lying, but I can't imagine DBZ, Code Vein, AND Forza were all cheap at some point without even one person here calling it out. I've also never heard of Amazon changing the price of an order already made in a way that doesn't favor the customer.

I think you're just mistaken, dude.

 

[iphys]

Why do it like that and how it's been done for the past 2 decades?

Remember when we pre-ordered those games like Zelda Wii U for $45 that wound up being $80 by the time the loonie tanked. I don't blame them for being paranoid.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

it is what it is. I could've sworn they were $50 when I preordered them. Either way I'm grabbing them with the additional 20% off.

 

[knacklover]

it is what it is. I could've sworn they were $50 when I preordered them. Either way I'm grabbing them with the additional 20% off.

If you've ordered them at 50$, why are you ordering again at 80$-20% (63.99$)?

They were when I ordered them 2 days ago.

Unrelated question, is Knack 2 on Amazon?

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

I'm not ordering them again. It's showing up at regular price with the E3 20% off right now. Even now i see Destiny 2 for $49.96 but my order shows $79.99

 

[knacklover]

I'm not ordering them again. It's showing up at regular price with the E3 20% off right now.

Can you post a picture of your order with them at 49.96$? Might help some of us getting them at this price point if you were lucky enough for some weird bug to happen.
