The street date for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has supposedly been broken in France. Micromania has been selling the game along with 3DS XL bundle that comes with a copy of Link’s latest outing. It is also alleged that Nintendo has given Micromania the go ahead to break the street date, but this seems highly unlikely as Nintendo is very protective of their AAA titles. A Link Between Worlds is set to be released in North America and Europe on November 22nd and has been met with wonderful reviews. If you’re in France, have you seen any copies of the game around?
Uh oh…
Isn’t the bottom half of the 3DS supposed to be black.
All gold
It’s only the very bottom. The inside is gold, hence why you see only gold.
There’s supposed to be a Triforce on it too. Hmm…..
its on the right side, you just cant see it cause of the glare.
Surely there are clauses in contracts that punish retailers for doing this?
There are actually. Big ones.
Again?
There’s no way Nintendo would authorise that, considering their reaction to the similar date breaking for Pokemon last month
I hope you guys (Sickr and friends) won’t post any sort of spoilers about this game that are revealed because of this. It’s hard to avoid spoilers on a blog like this.
Yes, plus Nintendo are spoiling to much on Nintendo direct and everywhere else.
The only things I want to know about a loz game is the release date and maybe how it looks.
Lucky bastards.
now that’s a sexy bundle. getting these two early is nothing to complain about.
It really sucks that North America just gets a download version of the game.
Again I must state that it is a download code (last I heard) that can easily be sold to someone who wants to buy a digital copy. The funds can then be used for a physical one.
Uh, wat. NA gets the physical copy as well….
Ah, you meant in regards to the bundle. Well yeah, but Raffie already said it. ^
I’m pretty sure it’s a download everywhere. The guy probably (like me) got both the bundle and physical copy and will sell the download code.
the 3ds doesnt have the black boottom or the triforce on it. come on people are you THAT gullible?
bottom*
bad quality picture doesn’t mean it’s not true. And to the guy above, NA gets a download code with the bundle. not sure about other regions, as I’m in NA and haven’t followed. We won’t be posting major spoilers for the game because we’re reviewing it. would kind of defeat the purpose.
Street Date?
meaning the date it is officially sold, the street date of this game is 22 november.
It’s fake, look at the ds, it’s spray painted gold
Uh i can see a triforce on it so you’re blind, also good luck replicating that 3DS XL box
bottom is black on the original, this one is pure golden
also, fucking Frenchs
Actually the bottom half always seems to look gold like that in official videos that I’ve seen as well. Not sure where it turns black but so far it looks like it may be real…

Sexiest people on Earth, deal with it.
fuck yourself cunt
it is amazing a made a cunt cry
keep going, amaze me with your frenchy gayness
do you mean: “it is amazing I made a cunt cry” … well guess what…. when you insult an entire country over nothing like a game which may have been sold before the official date that the kind of reaction you will get.
“Keep going.amaze me with your frenchy gayness”… I am more than certain that I have more women in my bed than you will ever touch or kiss.
Furthermore please note that did not ask for your nationality, cause does not matter where you come from. you are stupid and seem to be ignorant with a lot of prejudices. bye
I mus quote myself
“It is amazing A made a cunt cry”
Really ? Ahah, I’ve got a Micromania near from where I live :D
Kidding, I’ll wait for the 22nd myself, preordered it.
And no, I haven’t seen any copies yet.
I’ve preordered on 2 online retailer, one for my sister and me, I hope one of its comes early
My Walmart is selling it already. Just the XL though.
no triforce on the 3ds xl. it’s fake
Look again. It’s there, but it’s a bit hard to see.
Getting this in 7 days! BTW my PS4 dont work lol. Going to return this shit tomorow and stick witth my Wii U and 3DS XL bundle until SONY get their shit together .. like in 4 years.
i got mines and it works perfectly, i dont regret leaving shitendo lol
Ps4 is the best console ever! It works has a cheese griller and a space warmer now if it had games it would be perfect!.
cant wait for the vcr to come out next week!!!
I have so many VHS that I can’t wait for the xbone!
I hope you learned your lesson. Don’t buy playstation products. They shit
Lol xD
I’ve seen two Zelda television advertisements on Guys Codes episodes. I like it, i’m getting more and more hype-up as the releases date near.
DEATH TO THE FRENCH!!!
Naaah, we’re too good for you :D
At least the French had more courage against the nazis that the Swiss. Swiss are the true cowards of world war 2!
They may just be smarter though :p
I feel envy, tell me the only girl you kissed and was interested in you, did not want to sleep with you and was doing a french man and left you hence the hartred.
No cold cart? Sadness.
The street date was broken on Pokemon and now Zelda. The stores that do this are going to be punished by Nintendo. They have said that they take this seriously and if they have to they won’t ship the games to stores that break the dates repeatedly until a week or more after the release date.
yeah that 3DS XL is fake it’s suppose to be Gold on top and black on the bottom but this one’s pure gold
Well Nintendo showed some entirely gold XLs too.
I’m confused now, don’t know if they are half gold half black or just gold…
A walmart here in texas is already selling it
where in texas?
In red oak, it is like 10 min away from dallas
Oh damn! look who’s getting the game early lol.
Did they not learn from the Pokémon X&Y thing? Nintendo said any stores who break street date and are caught WILL FROM THEN ON GET GAMES A WEEK AFTER THEY LAUNCH.
I live in France and Micromania is the worst retailer ever. I hope this incident makes them close for good.
It won’t…
High Command will send out the Special Commando Forces again…
Le French bags avec douche strike again.
I WANT THIS GAME!!!

as someone mention micromania is not well like. So even if they sell the game it won’t be a big deal. BTW I have not see any game sold by them so far.
“Oh god not again” was my exact response >_<
It’ s true !
I’m in France, I saw copies of Zelda last Saturday at Micromania, Auchan (kinda WallMart/Tesco) and FNAC(Kind of Virgin store).
I was about to pre-order a copy to get a bonus, I’m so pissed.
Thats a gold DSI, they sold those on some Asia sight a long time ago, i always wanted one.
