Forums - Nintendo - France: Some retailers selling the 3DS early

alfredofroylan on 24 March 2011

Nothing like breaking the street date. Allez Le France, Allez!!!!

Après vous avoir annoncé que la 3DS était disponible hier dans les magasins Game par erreur hier, cette fois-ci c'est la bonne !

Pour la première fois, ce n'est pas un magasin spécialisé dans les jeux vidéo qui vend la Nintendo 3DS en premier mais la chaine Fnac ayant reçu une autorisation nationale de Nintendo qui a informé aujourd'hui que cette nouvelle petite console portable était disponible à ses clients l'ayant réservé par SMS.

Comme la Fnac l'a mise en vente, Game et Micromania l'ont également laché

translation?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

"Go France, Go!After having announced that 3DS was available yesterday on Game stores by error, this time is the good one.

For the first time, it's not a specialized shop in video game that sells the Nintendo 3DS first but the FNAC channel that, having received a national authorization by Nintendo, had informed today that the small handheld was available for the customer which preorder it by SMS.

As FNAC sold it, Game and Micromania had released it also."



But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

Fnac is a big library/CD/DVD/electronics store/tickets office.... basically all that is entertainment... and there's a ton of them so this basically means national realease.

Amazon was supposed to ship mine today... so I guess i won't get it earlier because of this :p too bad.

Nice. But I don't mind. In just 14 hours I'll have it in the palm of my hands and be playing the hell out of it



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm suprised Nintendo authorized early sales. But then again it might be a diplomatic move to ensure the retailer gives Nintendo more shelf space. I remember when StarFox:Assualt launched in the US, it was availible early from BlockBuster. Nintendo had a deal with BlockBuster though I'm not entirely sure what it entailed.

So I wouldn't be suprised if Nintendo cut a deal with the retailer!
