Nintendo confirms Shopto exclusivity

[Update] Exclusive Bravely Default Deluxe Collector's Edition will cost you £80
Update 29 October - Nintendo UK confirmed that the Deluxe Collector's Edition is available only from Shopto.net. The original story follows.


Last week, Nintendo UK tweeted a picture of an impressive-looking collector's edition for the upcoming JRPG Bravely Default.

The set include a physical copy of Bravely Default for the 3DS, a deluxe art book, an original soundtrack CD, 34 AR cards, and a figurine of Agnes Oblige - one of the game's four protagonists - all within an imposing, monolithic black box.

Yet one thing was missing from Nintendo's tweet - the price.

Online UK retailer Shopto.net lists it for £79.85 (~$130), while the standard edition of the game's available for pre-order at £31.85.

Curiously, Nintendo of Europe confirmed to Siliconera that the Deluxe Collector's Edition would remain a ShopTo.net exclusive, but the phrasing of Nintendo UK's tweet indicates that it might be available at brick and mortar retail locations as well starting on 6 December.


Bravely Default lost the "Flying Fairy" from its title as it made its way out of Japan, but it looks to be one of the most promising RPGs to arrive for the 3DS to date.

Developed by Square Enix, Bravely Default recalls the early days of the Final Fantasy franchise and delivers many elements that made the turn-based JRPG series successful - all despite the fact that it's not a proper Final Fantasy title.

We've reached out to Nintendo UK to see if we can get some clarification as to whether the Collector's Edition is indeed a Shopto.net exclusive or if you'll be able to pick it up from other retailers.

We'll update this story when we hear back.
