Renall Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 That could be part of it. But I think part of the reason they redesigned it was so that they could make it more recognizable. Honestly, the older design for the Falchion didn't really stand out too much to me. This design, though, is more memorable to me, because it looks pretty unique. The adaptation seems to be based on story stuff + aesthetics, but... It reminds me a little bit of the Monado from Xenoblade, but without the moving parts since it isn't a Space Laser Sword. So maybe it's just for the "cool factor" of unsealing and they didn't think the original design could pull it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I just preordered my bundle at Gamestop today. ^^ I'm going to keep my other order for the hard copy of Awakening too though, so I can also have a physical copy of the game.

Renall Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 My #1 issue is what the deal is with the DLC. As cool as it would be to get the bundle, I've already got a cart on preorder and a 3DS XL, so really the only interest I'd have in the bundle is if it allows me to have more saves, an extended battery in the regular 3DS (since apparently there aren't any good XL ones), and share DLC. If the DLC doesn't work on both, it ain't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constable Reggie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 As much as I want to, I can't find myself buying this bundle due the pure fact that it's preinstalled. I already have a 3ds, so I want to be able to have the convenience of swapping around the cart if needed. Well, at least I save 170+ dollars.

But that was cheaper than I expected, actually. But Nintendo and Intelligent Systems deserve my money for creating something so awesome. x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven't found anything on Best Buy or Future Shop's website about the bundle though. NoA confirmed it on their Facebook page, so the two retailers will probably update soon. FB page : In Canada, the Fire Emblem Awakening Nintendo 3DS hardware bundle launches exclusively at Best Buy and Future Shop on Feb. 4! The bundle will be available online and in-store at a retail price of $199.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Red Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I just spent a ton of money on my site and crap but I'm going to ask to borrow some money and pay it back later so I can get the bundle yes because the Fire Emblem design/the joy of having more Fire Emblem stuff is worth paying $200 for lulz, I half can't believe I'm saying such stuff, and half of me is so pumped that I'm dishing out around $270 for one game (even if I'm getting two copies of it and the system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the $200 as the cost for a limited edition 3DS that includes a free game (which in my opinion is what it is). Plus you can use the digital version as extra save slots.

Thunderfox Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I honestly don't know what the issue. I can see it just fine as the top post by the Like list. I don't mind it being only at FS and BB, since I don't really like the main EBgames in town, the other ones alright but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veetasoy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ahh, yeah I just logged out to test it. Yeah, it looks like they made it appear only for people whose locations are set to Canada, hence the fewer likes as well. You should log in and make sure your country is set to Canada then.

Sock Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well that's BS. I haven't logged into facebook for...like...a year. I'm just stalking their page as an anon. Thanks, Nintendo? ._.; Oh well. After all, it does only pertain to Canadians. Still sucks for anons. Thanks so much for testing that, Keilis. ^^ And super late thanks for giving this info in the first place! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER. Or rather, sanity saver? NOW it's back to trying to sleep.... Freakin' multiple tabs open to distract me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxoldr Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) WHERE WILL THE BUNDLE BE SOLD?!?! Hey everybody! I was able to reserve a copy of the bundle at a Gamestop in the Washington DC area earlier today. The guy I talked to in Gamestop said that most of the stores aren't stocking very many of the bundles, so if you plan on picking it up from a store, reserving it while you can may be a good plan. Good luck to everyone buying the bundle! :) Edited January 16, 2013 by alxoldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Starwind Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'll head to Gamestop tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
