I got some info for us Aussies

Broadband Adapter: Available NOW
Price: $59.95 (Must be purchased directly through Nintendo)

I told the guy about the nintendo.com.au site how it says TBA and he said they will update it.

I also asked about the new Zelda bonus disc and I was told it is currently under the planning stages

hey thanks! saves me ringing them, they better do a deal similar to the US, with the game registereing and such, or they could take this chance to launch nintendo power here, subscribing to get the bonus disc would get subscriptions +++++

Shadow Link · « **Reply #2 on:** November 19, 2003, 06:47:45 PM »

Yeah, I miss the old Official Nintendo Magazine

We lost Nintendo Gamer so now is a good time for Nintendo Power to launch.

My friend Zero Plauge rang them , and he is now driving 4 hours to get it...

damn, Id have to go across the Bass Strait to get it. So I think ill just get it thu the post

I gotta give you people mad respect. Its been said that Nintendo of Australia has dropped the ball big time (At least in this console generation) but that doesn't phase you guys. Nintendo of America couldn't get away with that stuff, as their fan base would dwindle rapidly. If there was a medal with a golden Mario or something, you Aussie fans deserve it!

Wow, thanks on behalf of all of us.

Well in my opinion Nintendo is the only system which has games that arent just racing or fighting like ps2 and xbox. Sure those games are good but Nintendo has the variety

Btw I ordered by Broadband Adapter

Warp pipe here we come

I hope Australia gets the Zelda bonus disk, i haven't had the pleasure of playing the old Zelda's. Hopefully Nintendo Australia will let people know that they can get the Broadband adapter.

yer i ordered 3 bba today with my mates but the lady on the phone wasnt gonna let me have 3 because they said 1 per customer, how crap is that

akdaman1 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 19, 2003, 11:18:14 PM »

Yeah , most likley cause itsa limited.

Shadow Link · « **Reply #10 on:** November 19, 2003, 11:53:57 PM »

Its proberly because they dont want people ordering to many incase some rouge stores put them up for retail. That could be why its only 1 per customer.

I haven't looked too much in the Mario Kart thread, but did anyone in Australia get the Bonus Disc over here? Can you get it from anywhere?

no. our pre-order bonus deal, only at EB stores, was a crappy thrustmaster steering wheel that cost $10 extra.

I seriously can't wait for the new Zelda Classic Disc though.

The thing is I dont know how they are going to do it. We dont have Nintendo Power, Hopefully you just have to buy one or two GameCube games. I dun know but if its only one or two games that I dont like (eg Mario Party, I dont like it beacuse no one else in my family plays the Cube so its a pretty boring 1 player experience) ill just steal the cards from inside the cases at the stores.)

I had to sell my N64 and all games to get money for a Cube, bye bye Ocarina of time and Majora's mask, nows my chance to get a critical piece of the puzzle.

MUST..... COMPLETE..... ZELDA COLLECTION

Are we getting that Mario Kart/Zelda Disc GameCube bundle here? That'll be one way to get it. I'm thinking Nintendo Australia might pack the disc in with an upcoming game, too. I don't really see the PIN code thing working here.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 20, 2003, 06:20:55 PM »

Well , I think we are cause my friend said that there is an MK bundle , it COULD come with zelda compilation.

When I ordered my BBA, I asked about the Zelda Disc. "There are no plans to release it locally." So. There you go.

PIAC · « **Reply #18 on:** November 21, 2003, 02:17:53 PM »

drag

time to pour over eBay.co.uk to try and scab a copy :\

I WANT NINTENDO POWER

Dude, we are the dwindled fan base. It's because NOAus has continued to fumble the ball while running away from the goal, but we've gotta stick it to the man and drag these guys across the line (aurgh, stupid Wallabies losing, someone needed to break Wilkinson's legs, oh no, major tangent)

Anyway, I have no plans for the BBA because 1 I have no Cube friends here

and 2 I don't have BB so it'd be a waste.

Don't hold your breath. I can't see any upcoming games that it would be a pre-order bonus with (1080? FF:CC? Just hoping perhaps) and with Nintendo mags dead in the water it seems that there is no chance in hell of us getting this, which puts the sad pants on me all by itself.

BAH HUMBUG!

mmm my 3 bba arrived today

Jayman450 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2003, 02:54:45 PM »

What number did you call to ring Nintendo Australia. I can only see the game help number on the site. I know someone who wants a BBA and I'm thinking about it myself. Did you order over the phone and just give your credit card detials?
