      "scanning Wolf Link into Twilight Princess lets players enter an exclusive area. If Link defeats this dungeon's boss while equipped with the giant wallet item, he'll receive the upgraded bottomless wallet, which boasts a rupee capacity almost 10 times greater than the former item."

      • Agret on 28/02/2016 - 19:04

        Yes you can buy the digital version of the game but the amiibo is a physical item and isn't sold separately from the game itself.

        • TRENT86 on 28/02/2016 - 19:08

          Ahh ok I thought you could get the Amiibo separately :)

    • Dany34 on 28/02/2016 - 18:56
      +2

      Well it will be more expensive digital as well. Even if it was available on its own you would be playing closer to $100 I imagine.

      I personally prefer physical. It most likely will be backwards compatible with the NX and it does not use up hard drive space.

      The only benefit I see with digital is having to get up to change games but I guess I can manage that lol

      • Elijha on 28/02/2016 - 19:04

        I bought some discounted Nintendo credit from JB (some with coke rewards gift vouchers) to negate the expected cost difference.

        Also the photo in the catalogue also looks like the one that comes with a soundtrack CD looking at the side of the box - which is a limited edition.

    • CheapGit on 28/02/2016 - 20:32

      You can purchase the Amiibo from Amazon Japan along with some other stores.
      Though at $68 at BigW I'd forget about the digital route and just get the bundle.

      Edit - scratch Amazon UK, Amazon Germany has it.

    • Smigit on 28/02/2016 - 21:15

      You might not be too bad off if you sell the game, particularity if you don't use it. I cant recall if previous bundles came with the game shrink wrapped or not but that could help the listing on eBay/Gumtree or whatever.

      There's people out there that want a physical game and not the Amiibo (see the Twilight Princess Whirlpool thread), so I'm sure you'll do pretty well given there's a good chance the Amiibo itself would have been anywhere from $15 to $25 if sold on its own. I assume it'll be more to import from overseas if you do try and get it without the game.

    • scarecrow1990 on 29/02/2016 - 10:33

      You could probably buy the bundle and sell the physical copy to cover costs and a good chunk of the digital copy if you buy it on sale at a later date.

      Mario Kart retains value incredibly well, moreso even then other 1st party games - The Wii version pretty much stayed at RRP until it stopped getting re-stocked.
      Same sort of situation with SSB.

        Actually, Mario Kart Wii was released as a Nintendo Selects item in 2013. Most Selects were going for $30-$35 dollars IIRC. I got a bunch of Selects from ozgames.com when I got a 2nd hand Wii in 2014.

    • RI4V4N on 28/02/2016 - 21:39

      Pretty much all first party nintendo games retain value for the entire life of the console, then if backwards compatible, might actually keep it then for a while also :P

EB have their flaws but they're not half as bad as some people make out, I'd rather get my game on then convince myself I got a good price first and foremost ..if you aren't near a store that price matches for you, sucks to be you :)

  • cheepo on 28/02/2016 - 23:05

    If the game is not being released as a standalone, does that mean a physical copy will be a limited release?

    • Smigit on 29/02/2016 - 09:46

      I doubt it…I imagine down the line they'll start selling it without the Amiibo. In some regions it is shipping without the Amiibo.

      • cheepo on 29/02/2016 - 10:37

        Thanks. I really don't want to be left with ebay as the only place to get a physical copy and then having to pay through the teeth for it if I decide to hold off getting it this weekend.

        • Smigit on 29/02/2016 - 11:10

          If you have the money you could buy the bundle and sell the Amiibo, I'd imagine there's a good chance you'll get $25+ for it since it can't be purchased stand alone and I assume there's people wanting the Amiibo without the game. Previous bundles had the Amiibo individually packaged in retail packaging, so assuming this is the same you could sell it as new and un-opened which will be good for the resale value.

          Alternatively find someone who wants the Amiibo and make some sort or arrangement with them to split the contents. Elijah above is one example where someone wants the Amiibo and not the physical disc.

          I'm only guessing that they'll release the game standalone in time, but you can still purchase Windwaker HD so I doubt they'll remove the option to buy Twilight Princess any time soon. I can however see them cutting back distribution costs by having a disc only release.

        • cheepo on 29/02/2016 - 12:12

          @Smigit:

          It's a great suggestion but and also have no doubt there will be people just wanting to collect the Amiibo. I was just trying to limit my spending on games for a few weeks but I'll see on Saturday if I can secure a copy first and then decide what to do with it.

          Have been disappointed too many times in the last few years with Nintendo releasing products and then for my local Big W/Target store to allocate two copies because of limited quantities (eg. The Super Smash Bros Gamecube adapter bundle).

  • silverrat23 on 29/02/2016 - 00:31

    Would the Wolf Link amiibo still read as regular Link in other games? (such as Super Smash)

    • argonide on 29/02/2016 - 00:39

      Super Smash Bros isn't listed on the list of compatible games for the Wolf Link Amiibo, so would assume not.

    Hi guys,

    I am wanting to update my current Wii to a Wii U soon. Waiting on the announcement of the NX before I make my decision. I don't use the Wii alot. Just much around on Wii Fit and Wii Sports etc.

    Just a quick questions re: figurines. What do you do with them? Where do you store them?

    • cheepo on 29/02/2016 - 10:45

      They are Nintendo's version of Skylanders or the Disney Infinity figurines if you are familiar with them. Brief overview here: http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/what-is-amiibo

      Some people have them proudly on display in intricate cabinets and stands or could simply store them away I guess. Comes down to personal choice really.

    • silverrat23 on 29/02/2016 - 10:50

      Just a quick questions re: figurines. What do you do with them? Where do you store them?

      Ever heard of Skylanders? Well, amiibo figures are Nintendo's take on the toys-to-life genre. Except, these figures are NOT necessary for gameplay.

      Their use varies game by game. In this game, it will unlock in-game content and in others, it will allow you play as that character or unlock extra costumes.

      As for storing them, you don't. You display them when not in use. Decorate your bookshelf or surround your tv with them. They look cool, okay?

      • Smigit on 29/02/2016 - 11:15

        I agree with that last bit 100%. That said, if they must be stored you can buy bags at places like EB, otherwise throw them in a drawer.

    • reactor on 29/02/2016 - 11:20

      Who knows when the NX will be officially announced though

    • [Deactivated] on 01/03/2016 - 14:49

      Amiibos are collectible figures with a memory card inside, like an add on device like the balance board, zapper, a peripheral. Thing is, with a few games its needed like with Mario Party 10, Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis its used to access core modes, while with other games its extra bonuses or dlc (with Splatoon). You can use them across many games, while some specific games require you to save progress to 1 only at a time. There is an amiibo game on the Eshop which lets you play classic scenes from classic games. The figures will also be getting an Amiibo game later this year, based on Mario vs Donkey Kong Tipping Stars.

      If you get a Wii U, you might want to get 2-3 figures, depending, they're fairly cheap.

      There are special devices which can back up your save data known as Power-saves. They are made by an American company i believe, unofficial, not-licensed.

    Need a maths whiz gamer to do a cost split:

    Link Wolf Amiibo - $15 (maybe worth more as you currently can't buy it separately)
    Soundtrack - $10?

    So the HD Remake game cost $43? Worth spending $43 on a game that has nicer textures and an extra dungeon level? I can probably get the Wii version cheap on ebay.
    I just need to convince the CFO at home that it's worth spending this money on (another) new game!

    • [Deactivated] on 29/02/2016 - 16:28

      This version will go up in value!! Tell CFO to look at prices of boxed super Mario maker online starting over $100 plus as cheap as $60's similar to this when released last september.. It's Zelda safe investment.. Not sure if they game inside will be shrink wrapped but they are often not. U could easily play the game keep everything mint and resell it in a year or longer for a profit …

      Of course planning to keep mine but I treat my whole collection by and large same way

      Of course I'm.not advocating selling something used as new but if there is basically no difference a buyer won't care that u have played the game If they are trying to find a sold out item that is complete and in good condition just describe that it's like new as u have taken game out and played it. Should still end up with more than u paid plus u got to play the whole game for free

    • Yuri Lowell on 01/03/2016 - 00:52

      Wii version will still set you back $20-30. An extra $10 is worth it for proper controls, full HD, unmirrored, redone textures and an extra dungeon. It's the definitive version, the previous definitive version being the Gamecube edition which costs well over $120.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/03/2016 - 15:03

        The wii remote and nunchuck were the proper controls though. lol. The Wii version will always be the definitive one, it ushered in true innovation and a new fun way to play. Motion controls for life son!

        • Yuri Lowell on 01/03/2016 - 23:47

          It was ported to the Wii, the original controls were the Gamecube version. I personally hated the Wii controls and much prefer using a controller. The Wii version also looks slightly worse and has a mirrored world. There's nothing about the Wii version apart from being widescreen that makes it definitive unless you like waggle controls which many don't.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/03/2016 - 16:09

          @Yuri Lowell:

          Ported but came out first. Meant it was the original though, and what made the game great, but to each his own.

        • Yuri Lowell on 03/03/2016 - 00:40

          @BNGames: That's wrong though. The Wii version is the port and the GC version is the original. The Wii controls were not designed for the game and the mirrored world on Wii is also not what was intended in its original form. Google the game and you'll see. It was developed for the Gamecube and ported to the Wii.

          @Yuri Lowell:

          I know what you mean, I just meant the game's original debut Wii release, they did a switcheroo towards later development and made the Wii one the debut, wasn't originally intended but became it later in development. In the process, they tailored the game around the new controller.

          I see what your saying, thanks for the info. Im just being a purist in terms of playing the original launch game, i never got to play it as an early Xbox / 360 gamer. I got the Wii later.

          @BNGames: just because it was launched 'first' doesn't mean its the original.
          As I've stated and linked to info from nintendo, its a GC original that was ported and adapted to the wii, the release for GC was deliberately delayed for a few weeks to make people buy the newly launched wii. It was a purely commercial reason not because its a wii original.
          If you're a 'purist' as you claim you would actually understand that instead of claiming its a wii original as even nintendo doesn't say that.

    • musicinbed69 on 01/03/2016 - 15:53

      no wii remote and nunchuk. It does have a hero mode though which mirrors it like the wii version was.
      Although it's a shame it doesn't have wii remote support, the game was originally not designed from the ground up for it, so it's not that silly to see it's departure.
      The wii version looks quite blurry as they had to fit it all onto a 1.2GB media, and it takes up the full 1.2GB, which means they applied texture compression with the settings of "just make it fit damnit!".
      Get the HD version :P .

      • [Deactivated] on 01/03/2016 - 16:20

        Wii was the first version to hit the market, will always be the original way to play. I get that it went to GC and was developed in conjunction, but im more into the original Wii style design (controls). I don't care that much about visuals. Im not too fussed.

        Though the Gamepad motion controls, added challenge temple, stamps and amiibo power ups do look interesting. They'll probably include cross support with other figures or something.

        Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Will need to decide. Leaning towards original maybe, not sure.

          How can it be a wii 'original' when it was never slated for a wii release until it saw multiple delays?

          They changed it during development/production, I just want the controller support of the games's intended launch on Wii. They switched development to make that the original version, focusing on making the game work as a primary Wii system experience, i get you though.

          Maybe i'll get the re-release, not sure.

          I don't know what the NX is, its just rumors at this point. Could be a new 3ds crossover device. Thank you for the information, I will have to decide, at least the Wii U one has motion controls in the gamepad.

          @BNGames: iwata and Nintendo said it was solely developed for GC, but making twighlight princess then starting a whole new zelda game for the new wii straight away wasn't going to work so twighlight princess was adapted and developed further to the wii, both versions benefitted ultimately from being released on both platforms.

          I liked both versions, so not fussed either way, but its a misconception that it was made for the wii when it was adapted, even nintendo says that, it became a whole game in itself to utilise the motion controls that weren't intended but came out pretty great in the end.

          @BNGames:
          I see what you're saying. You prefer motion controls and want to validate your opinion, so get the Wii version.
          Don't complain when facts don't match your viewpoint.
          To each his own.

          @Max Power:

          Lol, Woah @Max, Im just talking about the original Wii game, which was the first out and was different to the later release. No need to be mad or angry if you prefer the GC version which didn't have the original releases wii motion stuff. If you feel the GC is the Director's Cut, cool. Im just discussing it within a certain context of what that original release brought.

          Its just video games, don't worry about it dude! This is a consumer website, was just pointing out differences in debut, as were others. S'all good man.

          Thats cool, no probs! Sorry to hear that dude passed away.

          @BNGames: you keep calling the wii version the 'original' release though thats what i and several others are trying to correct. GC is the original release, as stated by nintendo.
          The wii version is an adapted version, as nintendo themselves say it is. I don't understand how you keep calling it a 'wii original' when even nintendo don't say that! It was ported and adapted to the wii not made for it, so it can't be a wii 'original'.
          Yes, its different to the original GC version because it was adapted for the wii controls, like majoras mask was adapted to the 3ds. It may have been sold to market first but purely for commercial reasons not because its the 'original' version.

    So good I pre-ordered two @EB. They said they would price match.

  • montorola on 02/03/2016 - 12:48

    So apart from the obvious graphical changes, is there anything else new in the game?

    And for those that have played Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword (both of which I haven't played), what would you recommend?

    Are the stories linked in that I need to play twilight first before skyward?

    PLEASE NO SPOILERS!

      skyward is lame because you have to play it with the stupid wii controller. no way around it. Twilight is good but not ocarina or wind waker kind of good.

      Skyward Sword is setup as the origin story of the universe

    Target might be reconsidering their price, in their catalogue it's listed at $84 but on Facebook they've said that they don't have a final price just yet.
    Hopefully they bring it down to $68.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2016 - 10:56

      I hope so usually more stock at target

      Still showing $84 in the online catalogue. Not sure if it will be cheaper in store.

      • Sammy2000 on 05/03/2016 - 14:41

        Scanned at $84, they price matched BigW
