Plenty of Zelda fans lined up at the Nintendo World Store in an effort to claim one of the Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition bundles which come pre-packaged with a blue and gold Zelda-themed scarf. The special edition wasn’t available for pre-orders so determined gamers queued up late for the store’s 8am opening. Around 600 people turned up, but a few went away empty-handed as between 300 and 500 copies were available. As you would expect nowadays, a number of these copies appeared on eBay for extortionate prices.
Thanks, Kevin P
Yes
I’m actually surprised how good the game really is. I kinda brushed it off as a endless hack-a-thon, but the game has some pretty good depth, strategy, story line, and solid game play. Starts getting much more difficult in the 3rd level, as the first two are pretty much introductory training without the “training level” feel. Totally worth the pickup IMO.
Wow, we Zelda Fans are for the real.
I kno right? All for a scarf……. Makes me think how many ladies would be lined up if Yoshis Wolly world came wit a Yoshi Yarn Doll….
How many GROWN MEN would be Lined up for The doll as well :/
What if grown men line up for a Yoshi Doll? It’s a collectible item, who cares?
Yea and they only had 200 available for purchase…. I was one of the 200 and only 10 more ppl behind me got them. All the ppl in the second pic left empty handed.
Why didnlt they just buy the game anyway?
I wouldn’t be surprised if more people lined up for the scarf instead of the actual game.
Yup. I saw a few people leave once they announced that they sold out of the limited edition.
With such a long line it’s understandable since they could get the game at any other place that’s not crowded. Duh.
Or they just wanted the scarf like me……. But i stayed since I didnt want to make that waking up early and hr train ride a waste. And i never been to the store so I stayed.
Is the Donkey Kong statue still there? lol
Donkey kong statue? Hmmmm don’t recall seeing any Donkey Kong statue.
It’s right under the stairs, right behind the elevator on the first floor. Kinda hard to miss lol.
This is what it looks like:

Yes, it is still under the stairwell.
Nice. I took a pic with that and the Pikmin statue upstairs.
It was idiotic how Nintendo handled bringing in the people. Making everyone wait, while bringing in groups of 10 at a time took FOREVER. With the opening at 8am, I didnt purchase my LE box until 10:30am… that was after waiting a considerable amount of time. Nintendo shouldve planned the launch for 7am for those standing in line and THEN opened the store to the general public, not open the store and allow the horde of ppl who didnt get one to pack the store and force everyone to wait forever. I realize Nintendo wanted to boost as many sales for those who were in the line, but it was handled poorly.
Well they wanted to play some games on thier WiiU cuz there are games on WiiU? i only know MK8, MarioBros2d, MarioBros3D, and and and nothing more, so depressing the WiiU games.
Um wow maybe u should look in to it
Yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
yeah thats my reaction every time i see the WiiU games ::yawn::
But if the wiiu has no games how can you see them?
MK8. MB2D. MB3D. And HyruleWarriors. oO so depressing
Hi hater
Hi retarded shit
May none dare say there are no games on the Wii U without mentioning and having played through the Wonderful 101!
Yup. I was apart of that group……sadly was not the one who got a scarf. I’m not in the picture because i am almost all the way to the back. :(
You just said you didn’t go…
When did i say this?
Yep, there were only 200 for sale.
The scarf hype.
Haha, I live in Europe so all I had to do was pre order it an pick it up locally. No line either.
Pretty wild, I honestly do not see the appeal of this scarf. It would be nice to have but it is not the most amazing collectors item. Definitely not something I would go through a lot of trouble for.
PRetty sad though that this is the most apparent reason to why people bothered to go there in the first place…
The scarf is pretty baller though and a collectors item since there was only 200 LE sets sold in all the US.
I suppose but still, once it sold out, most left without buying the game itself…
Actually quite a few picked up the game solo… I feel like sales #’s are going to be decent on this one. Gameplay is surprisingly good IMO, and I was a huge discounter on this “hack and slash” format.
Would’ve bought it if it came to the US. Hate NOA…
But the Nintendo World store IS in the US. It’s in New York. Unless there’s another one I don’t know about.
Oh. Lol I didn’t even notice that! XD
Still hate NOA though…
All of this just for a scarf? Doesn’t seem worth it, even to a collector like me.
Why not? Don’t you want some Zelda swag? :p I know I do.
Sure, it would be cool to have. But not cool enough to wait in line (queuing) forever for, or pay astronomical prices on eBay for. Which is probably what half of these people are buying it for. To sell on eBay.
The scarf was a bonus for me. Besides, winter is coming. So I’ll be using the scarf. :D
This is why NOA needs to get with the times and offer these things to EVERYONE. If they couldn’t tell based on the huge line, PEOPLE WANT LIMITED EDITION GAMES!
When will this simple fact get through their thick skulls?
This is one of those rare positive things that Nintendo does. I won’t go into details but what you just said … was really funny actually.
That’s Nintendo of America for you. They can’t even go a month without screwing something up.
They should have made it available to everyone not just one store.
I understand why they only released a limited amount of the collectors edition, but I will never understand why it was only released at one store, in one city of the U.S…. NOA really couldn’t care less about thier fans..
Morons. All of em.
Dude, get over it already. The New 3DS has been made & is coming. It’s been nearly 4 years since the 3DS came out, so quit being a bitch & acting like it came out only 2 years into the handheld’s life.
You don’t see the big picture since you’re Nintendo’s bitch and also a sheep. Couple questions for you…
How long is the normal life of Nintendo’s mobile console?
How long before the next gen mobile console is released by Nintendo?
How many years do you think the “new 3ds” will last? Do you think that if the new 3ds does well, Nintendo will start pumping out 2 consoles per gen? maybe variations of each?
Next time recognize my name, bitch.
Why did pepole leave empty handed? Why didn’t they at least buy the game.
