Lets see:
1. I don't want to buy another cube
2. I don't want to subscribe to Nintendo Power
3. I don't want to buy Mario Party, Mario Kart, or 1080. I have never heard of Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga

no disk for me

Method 5: Nintendo decides not to be jackasses and they let loyal fans, who already purchased a GameCube, buy it seperately at a local retail store.


Unfortunately, method 5 is unlikely.

Dude...simmer down. This is a very smart move from a busniess standpoint. Sure, its gonna piss some people off, but your going to get your dirty little hands on that disc no matter what it takes. It dosent really bother me, becasue my NP subscription has almost run out, and this gives me a good reasont to renew(I really wasnt going to).

Including it free with the purchase of the system is perfectly fine, but there is absolutely no reason for them not to make it available for seperate purchase.

Well, I buy the game a get a free subscription (or is it the other way around?). Anyways, the subscription has to get you some other free stuff. I mean, they have been giving some nice things such as the Smash Bros. music disc. It really isn't that bad. Plus I'm sure you get some discounts for other stuff too in the bundle or something.

I believe I already outlined that it's perfectly fine to include it with another product for free. It helps promote that product, and gives an added bonus. But, for the people who DO NOT want to buy those products, there should still be the option of buying it seperately.

Oh but of course, it's always good business to screw over your loyal fan base in order to increase profit revenue. Apparently Nintendo has abandoned the old phrase "pleasing the gamers comes before pleasing our pockets". This entire generation for Nintendo has contained constant screw overs for gamers. Take for instance the GCN/GBA connectivity, which is the biggest scam I've ever seen. In order for me to obtain 100% in most if not all my GCN games, I must purchase a gba, connection cables, and in most cases, a gba game. I don't give a crap what lame ass excuses anyone gives, like "well I already own all the stuff so it's alright". Horsesh*t.

Now we see even more crap surfacing, where I must purchase a console, or a game, or some other stupid thing in order for me to get this bonus disc. Is that the thanks I get for being a loyal fan and purchasing their system and games for over a year now? And once again, everyone who already plans to buy another GCN, or a game, or whatever else, seems to have no problem what-so-ever with Nintendo's doings, because it all works out perfectly for them. It's no wonder Nintendo gains such a significant profit, no matter what piss ass mistakes they make, there's always the fanboys waiting in line for their chance to praise them.

Let me tell you about what makes a good business plan. When you satisfy the user base, the people who enjoy and own a GCN, and continue to support the company by purchasing new games and accesaries, THAT is when you have done good business. By trying to gain a larger profit, at the expense of their current user base, that is bad business.

Just curious what game exactly forces you to have a GBA/GCn connection to get 100%?

As far as I know there is no game that forces you to use it to finish it, even Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles can be beat without it.

Maybe that's just me.

And I don't get some people, would you rther Nintendo charge 40 or 50 bucks for a disk that you can buy free with a system or get for free with a 20 dollar magazine subscription or by buying two other games?

I don't see how this is screwing over the "loyal" fans, but maybe that's just me.

When I say 100%, I am referring to completely finishing everything there is to do in the game, not just beating it.

And yes, I would rather Nintendo charged $40-$50 for the disc to be sold seperately, at least then I could get the disc without being forced to buy anything else.

Canyarion
11-07-2003, 04:26 PM
It still sounds like one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. Paying when you can get it free.

Nintendo should let you 'buy' it with your collected stars from bought games. That way the 'loyal fans' get it for free.
I hope they do that in Europe!! :(

Yes, I too would rather pay $40-50 for a bonus disc rather than merely $20 for the disc and a subscription to a magazine. I am an avid subscriber to the "buy less stuff with more money" way of life. Helped me get into this cardboard box you see.

[/sarcasm]

Not to say I completely disagree with you, however. I would rather be able to buy the disc by itself, as well; I just think its kind of stupid to want to pay $40-50 for one item as opposed to $20 for the same item plus another.

I agree totally. And all three gaming giants are in it for the money...thats what REALLY matters to all three of them. They might say other stuff, but just like anything else it's ALL about the money. If they're making good profits, their successful.

I don't WANT to pay $40-50, my point was that I want to buy the disc, not the crappy magazine subscription, not a new console, not a game, or whatever other crap. Saying that it'd be worth $40-50 right off the bat is ridiculous of course, as there is no way it'd be worth that amount. Maybe $17.99 or something in that range.

I really have no problem at all with Nintendo trying to promote other poducts and adding a special free bonus with it. But the people who do not want to purchase these extra items are being forced to do so (ok, I know Nintendo isn't literally forcing people to buy it, but you know what I mean). And sure, it may only be a little $20 subscription. But you know what? I don't want any damn Nintendo Power subscription.

I agree totally. And all three gaming giants are in it for the money...thats what REALLY matters to all three of them. They might say other stuff, but just like anything else it's ALL about the money. If they're making good profits, their successful.
It's odd how Microsoft makes almost no profit at all from the Xbox, yet they continue to produce it, adding wave after wave of new features, more online support and additions, and other quality things such as attaining good third party developers to make great games for the system.

It is almost impossible to make a profit with a dedicated online network this gen.

PS2 and Xbox online network users: 1.5 million
PS2 and Xbox combined worldwide install base: 60 million

That's 2.5% of PS2 and Xbox owners going online with their consoles. Strange how a company not gaining profit from something would continue to support it.

And Nintendo, the company making the highest profit intake of the three companies, chooses to carrying on in ways which are more beneficial to them rather than their customers.

Companies want money, I agree. But companies also want to make their customers happy. A happy customer will continue to purchase their products and support them.

Jonbo298
11-07-2003, 11:55 PM
Microsoft has the money to just waste on anything and everything they want. They never cared in the first place that XBox was going to be no profit to them.

Sony has enough money alsoto just throw around. They are more electronics then they are gaming.

Nintendo is essentially gaming only, so they can't just throw money as they please. If they had a good hold in another area of a market, they probably would've had a better online this gen. rather then next gen...But considering that Nintendo isn't doing as great as they were a few years ago, they have to think what can profit first, then decide what they could spend money on without worry of having a substantial profit loss.

+Rep because you are right. We can even go back to the example of Nintendo selling Rare. Nintendo is all about the money. Microsoft and Sony believe that increasing the quality of their product at all costs is important and that it will mean success in the long run, Nintendo used to think this way, but now Nintendo cares about marketability first, and quality second. Maybe they don't want to end up like Sega; respected, but dead.

You have to subscribe online to get the bonus disc, I think. When you subscribe online, there's a part where you pick your "free gift." The Zelda disc should be kind of near the bottom of the list. Make sure you pick the actual disc, not the player's guide.

Well, if they shipped it ups they obviously shipped it ground (since you don't have it yet) and ups isn't delivering ground packages on Friday. Sorry.

It actually SHOULD have been hear Wednesday. Washington (where I assume it shipped from) is 4 days to Chicago, so I assume it's the same for Washington to Hicktown IL. I noticed you posted at 6:35, UPS can deliver as late as 7 or 8 PM.


Course, if they shipped it via the post office it could arrive in 2023 and it's still technically not "late" and there's ZERO guarantees on when it will get there. Complete crapshoot. But the good news with the post office is that they DO deliver this Friday cause I'm waiting for something too.

It says on that mynintendo thing under my subscriptions that the disc shipped on the 20th...and im thinking they really didnt ship it on the 20th because it wouldve been here by now...

It took FOREVER for my Metroid Prime bundle pak to get here when I ordered it, and it was supposed to get here pretty fast. Nintendo is EXTREMELY slow at shipping stuff...and your right about them lying. They always say they ship things a LONG time before they ship it. It really grinds my nerves. I hate ordering things off of them.

Now that I think about It, I recall getting a rouge leader players guide with an earlier subscription, and I remember completley forgetting that it was suppoused to come, then, 4 MONTHS later it finally came...long after I had allready beaten Rouge Leader. I really dont know what their issue is. They still make the best games tho...

:rofl:OMG that's hilarious!!! Getting the players guide AFTER you beat the game! :rolleyes:

I hope Nintendo Europe is better...
I once ordered replacement analog sticks for the N64 controller, they came pretty fast. Within a few weeks at least... :)
It's a shame that they won't ship me the disc until next year... Unless I buy it with my stars, but I don't have enough yet. :p
And then I'd get the disc twice... which would be a shame, beacause I wanna wait till they have GB players and stuff again.

How did you order just replacement analog sticks and put them in yourself?! If this method is possible, then I wasted tons of money back in the '64 days on controllers...damned analog sticks.

But back on topic now:)

Welp I got a response from nintendo(took a little longer than I thought because I didnt send them enough information the first time) here's the email...

Hello,

I was sorry to hear that you haven't received your Zelda Collector's game disc.
Using the information that you provided, we were able to send out a replacement.
Please note that the replacement disc should arrive within the next 10-14 days.
If you happen to receive the original disc, as well as the replacement disc,
please send the second one back with "Return to Sender" marked on the outside of
the package.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know!

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America
Jon Freeman


It's good to hear that theyre at least making an effort to help people. After browsing Nintendo's forums, I realise that a lot of the people who ordered their disc the first day they became available are having problems. Anyone else who hasnt recieved their disc yet(Ginkasa), I suggest you email nintendo, they seem happy to help. Email parts@noa.nintendo.com

what do you mean "give it back" Are you saying I should give it to you?

Jonbo298

I meant that if Ninty knows you have a second disc (along with the first one) and they request it back, give it to them...otherwise keep both if you get 2.

If you order it with Nintendo Power does it just get shipped with your first issue, or what?

i just sold 2 copies of the game on ebay, apparently people are paying 60-70 dollars for just the game, so i got myself two more gamecubes at 30-35 dollars a piece. ah, the joys of life!



Do you just love wasting money?

I'm pretty sure your bonus item arrives before your first issue.

"Je The Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition bonusdisk zal naar het onderstaande adres worden verstuurd. Binnenkort zul je een e-mail ontvangen om de levering te bevestigen."
Which kinda translates to: "You'll receive your disc soon!" :D:D:D
Within 28 days.... :cool:
