Best Bundle Thus far
I have the Japanese version of Monster Hunter 4, and have played it extensively. I Believe this addition to the Monster Hunter franchise is the best game thus far. With the addition to two new weapons, the Charge Axe and Insect Glaive, to the already expansive weapon pool, it really makes this game unique. Using a different weapon in this game completely changes the play-style and strategy, making each weapon well suited for your liking. Along with the 2 new weapons, climbable and destroy-able terrain is added into the game, adding to the already existing challenge. Plus, the NEW 3DS comes in this bundle, with a faster processor, 3D face tracking, and a built in C-Stick, it will enhance any game that is played on it!

My Uncontainable Excitement for this Game
I have logged well over 1500 hours into this franchise. I achieved it when the original Monster Hunter Freedom tentatively arrived on the PSP. I bought the game and became insatiably hooked. Hours went by like minutes and many a summer became devoted to this game. I purchased ever other game right when it became available. Every game became an instant classic for me and each successful release brought many improvements. Each weapon class encourages way to master based on how you play. As of now I still rock the SNS, but I'm pretty decent with Hammers, Long Swords, Duals, and Bows. I have not even scratched the surface. And then there's the monsters! The quests! The immense difficulty! Weapon and armor upgrades! The Monster Hunter franchise has intrigued me to the point where I could write countless pages on the subtleties. Trust me on this. Patience is key, and if you posses an admirable capacity for patience, then you definitely stand a chance. Hopefully I stand a chance to preorder the game with the new console! My dream is alive and well!

Awesome......SOLD OUT?!?!
Was looking forward to purchasing this when I found out about it, but by the time I found out (Saturday after the Wednesday presale), they were sold out. Majora's Mask version was supposedly sold out in 15 minutes. Nintendo was worried the NA market wasn't saturated enough to make a profit on the New 3ds......this is a good sign that it's Alive and Kicking.
Though pretty annoyed (especially at all the scalpers out there), I'm going to put off purchasing a 3DS until I know whether or not this will be coming back. And if it doesn't come back, well, you lost a customer or two for the handheld.
If Gamestop employees are reading this, please implement a 1 or 2 per person, per day purchase of limited edition items like this (only limited edition items get such sales). That way those wanting to purchase the console will have enough time to do so before the scalpers can clear stock and resale for double what anyone with a smaller wallet can afford.
Were this to come back before the month of May, I would be overjoyed to purchase one, assuming scalpers didn't come in and purchase that batch as well. This is the only reason I'm not buying the New 3DS since Monster Hunter 4 plays on the old one.
(Buzz written because I couldn't find a feedback section of the site. Legitimate buzz but lack of product to buzz about prompted comment.)

This looks awesome but now it's too late.
This edition would of been the reason I purchased the new 3DS XL but pre-orders were stopped about 2 days after they were listed. Now people who never wanted the system in the first place are selling their pre-orders online for double to triple the MSRP price. It should be illegal to do that with your pre-orders. There are some of us who were a little slow who would of just been happy to have the pre-order and the product we were paying for. This would have been a great deal if their had been enough product..

HYPED! But, at the same time, disappointed.
I've been waiting for this for a while now and I'm really excited since this will be my first 3DS, but I have two problems. First, no AC adapter? I understand this is Nintendo's choice, not Gamestop's, but it's just such a dumb one. I've seen Nintendo's reasoning but it's just an excuse, maybe to lower the cost of manufacturing. They easily could've made an option for people who want/need a charger. Second, why do we HAVE TO SHIP? That's just ridiculous. I don't understand why we can't just do a store pick up. A store pick up would also mean getting it on the day it actually releases.. Instead, we have to wait since it ships ON THE DAY THE CONSOLE IS RELEASED. I'm paying more, to do something I don't want, to get my product at a later time? Where is the logic in this, Gamestop?

RESTOCK PLEASE!!!
I really hope this bundle is restocked. I am a veteran hunter and I was REALLY looking forward to getting this bundle. Regardless of whether GameStop restocks this or whatever, this is going to be a sweet game. I'm so stoked and hope the demo comes out soon. =] Happy Hunting, all!

Looks good but needs restock
The bundle looks great (other than the game being installed and not a physical copy). Also would be nice if it came with a charger, but that's not Gamestop's fault. Would have been happy to buy one if they didn't sell out ridiculously quickly.

soldout. sad day indeed
Kind of bummed that i was way late to the party. I wanted to wait until i got the chance to go to the mall today so that i could preorder in person. That way, someone gets credit. Hopefully gamestop can restock soon. This is why i hate scalpers.

Unexpected Surprise
This was very much unexpected from Nintendo. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate received various system bundles that were only released in Japan. To see that the US finally gets a bundle is so exciting. Whether you are new to Monster Hunter, or a veteran, the New 3DS has another analog stick that helps tremendously in controlling the camera. Gone are the days were you have to purchase addition accessories to play Monster Hunter comfortably.

Preordered
Set my alarm for 8:58 this morning to watch the nintendo direct. Been waiting on a release date for mh4 for over a year and a half. Huge monster hunter fan. Imported the original monster hunter 4 3ds LL bundle from japan the day it released, by far the best game i ever played and i couldnt even fully read it. After the nintendo direct i came to gamestop.com and was constantly refreshing the monster hunter 4 listings until this bundle showed up. I couldnt throw my money at the screen fast enough. I am honestly very suprised to see NA get this bundle, as its the same japan received a few months ago. Seems like a very good sign that capcom and nintendo have faith in this game doing great here
