I'm thinking Gamestop noticed "oh crap this will be in huge demand" and decided to slap it together with a guide, so they guarantee more profit margins. I assume this both because of the price difference to MSRP, and because of the shitty things they've done with previous high-demand Nintendo items.

Makes sense. Gamestop had the limited edition available for order first but didn't sell out until after Amazon did. They probably noticed the spike, took it down, and found a way to pad the margins a bit.

Hopefully they'll have enough sense of irony to slap a "used" sticker on them.
Is the DLC in Hyrule Warriors worth getting? Or better put, worth getting if you're still playing through the main game. It all sounds like extra/post game content. Which to put in this game's terms, is a bit like ordering 4 extra large pizzas when you haven't even finished the 10 course meal and 3 desserts in front of you.

Oh well looks like I'm not getting Skull kid. He would have looked real nice next to my Ganondorf statue but I'm not willing to give these scalper fucks any of my money nor am I willing to pay more than the MSRP for some bullshit bundle that shouldn't exist. (Really, strategy guides? What is this, the 90's?)
Man, nothing like a big old hardcover guide full of massive amounts of info. Granted, some of them are crap but some of them are just so so good. And a precious few are freaking necessary.
Are you sure you're talking about Majora's Mask? I mean I guess it technically doesn't need a guide since nothing is ever missable. But good luck figuring some shit out like the whole Kafei line, or that super sword you can get.

Well, yeah but that's kind of the game. And it really is only those two things. You certainly pretty much need to be told about them to be able to get them tho.
I bought the Star Fox 64 guide as a kid solely because of the awesome art in it. Mainly the blueprints of the vehicles and the names for the bad guy vehicles.
I'm pretty sure mine went with my original N64 when I sold it as a kid.
Spaghetti sauce stains on some of the pages probably tanked the resell value though. No, that was something else. My mom always used my magainzes as coasters though, so I'm sure that happened.
They don't even try to pretend the book bundle is a good deal, they've got the book listed for 35 separately. I figured they'd mark it up to 40 or something.
I thought by "strategy guide" it was one of those stupid looking Prima guides that were just tossed together, but that guide looks pretty slick and would like nice on the bookshelf never to be opened again.

Oh. Well.Gamestop tries to gouge Nintendo customers again, news at 11.
My favorite guides were the ones for Myst and Riven, as they were written in the form of a journal from the main character, and were fun enough as short novels.
The Riven one was even nice enough to label each section in the book in accordance with how much help it have. Everything from "no worries, this is just some vague hints" to "this chapter is literally just a list of puzzle solutions."
And if ever there was a game that needed chapters dedicated to puzzle solutions, it's Riven. Never mind the foreign alphabet and numerical system you had to learn, remember the Golden Dome? 9 year old Terrendos was never happier to have a guide than Riven.
They only announced this thing what, yesterday? And the game doesn't even have a concrete release other than "sometime this year". I wouldn't bother freaking out over it just yet.

I don't know if that's your speed, but its still cheaper than scalpers. Still a chance for Best Buy later too.
That had better be the fanciest damn guide ever.

Meh, I don't go for art at all. Give me hundreds of pages of tables and I'm set. But I also own the Hyrule Historia begrudgingly.
That said, Majora's Mask doesn;t really need a guide. Pokémon? Final Fantasy Anything? Hell yeah.
Well, yeah but that's kind of the game. And it really is only those two things. You certainly pretty much need to be told about them to be able to get them tho.
Kinda wish I still had it.

Think of it as a stand for your skull kid.
That costs the same as another game. :P

Np. Now the question is, how many hours can the special go without selling out again.
I'm honestly considering buying the ridiculous box set for $120 just to get the Ocarina of Time 3D Guide and sell off the rest individually.

I really should be checking this thread more often.
Stop being obnoxious. We are not all watching the internet like hawks.
