What's so special about a steelbook anyway? I'd rather have a plush keychain or a coin. If the steelbook had rings or a clamp inside to hold paper that'd be worth having.

That kind of stuff is in Nintendo actually. They're publishing things like this are their decisions. Also this is mega retarded.

this isn’t the problem, the problem is they made a NEW preorder that includes that steelbook while the one that went up first didn’t have it. pokemon now has FOUR games being sold on the eshop and you know some retard is buying all 4+all physical versions

Can't you just do that with the normal case if you want a book-shaped thing to stare at? I don't see where the fad comes from in it being steel.

no other nintendo franchises have preorder bonuses this asinine, it's typically base game or a collectors edition that for some reason always comes out after the game itself

Anon we have these bonuses too. Steelbook is a target exclusive, Walmart has metal keychains, GameStop is a banner, Amazon is an in game backpack, and the Pokemon Center has plush keychains. I think Best Buy has something too.

First of all, it's Nintendo's decision.

Second, it's something to grow up digital sales. It's a good move actually.

Hyrule Warriors did this too, OoT, TP, and SS designs for Link and Zelda were all locked to purchasing from different retailers for some reason. (I think they eventually changed that though)

A coin would be supremely cool. The TCG used to include really well made coins that I liked a lot (not the ones made of plastic).
I got the steelbook for OR and haven't done anything with it.
