Though the 3DS is nearing the end of its lifecycle, it doesn't mean the handheld isn't still kicking. Nintendo has announced that for Black Friday 2017, they'll be releasing a green 2DS bundle, with Ocarina of Time 3D included as pre-install. It'll launch on November 24th, and retail for $79.99. Oddly enough, this is NOT for the recently released New 2DS XL--this is an original 2DS bundle.

i agree, who would buy games from 20 years ago THAT THEY STILL BUY XD
not complaining about your comment but its funny

No, I didn't say that OoT is worthless for this bundle, but atm is useless to offer this bundle.
I don't see Sony offers a new bundle for PS3 with a evergreen games anymore, for example.

Because a fresh faced teen working part-time will want this, perfect for the guy in that GIF, right?

Sigh. I'm more floored by the N3DS/2DS XL designs, I consider the Old 2DS as basically a way to get a private LCFS_B.

Sadly but true

Why can't they just let it die

Bundles like this are a sign of that happening.

 

[spotanjo3]

Nah.. I will pass. Even thought, I am a fan of Zelda but this portable is.. UGH!

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Bundles like this are a sign of that happening.

Is it though? It's a brand new color variant which means they changed production specifically for it, and it's not even the newest revision of the console

"Though the 3DS is nearing the end of its lifecycle, ". Keep dreaming, lol. The ps4 is nearer!

[jamezfat]

no, they will not kill it yet...
it still makes poke-moneys


heck they've mentioned a 3ds successor...

 

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

Not a 2ds console fan but to add to my hate of that console is the ugly ass colour.

 

[nashismo]

If Nintendo could only fix the damn DPAD on the 3DS,2DS, though!

I remember the Dpad on the original fat DS, it was awesome, it was larger and it didn't have those damn microswitches. That only end up hurting your damn thumbs after a short while.

But NO, they prefer to milk and milk with new rehashes of 3ds's no one wants.

Why not an Nvidia shield type of 3DS for example? Actually made for grown adults for Fu#% sake! That would be the most amazing feature to me, and a bigger normal dpad of course.

 

[8BitWonder]

Imo they should just do an N64 themed 3DS or 2DS. That'd sell like hot-cakes.

 

[Kigiru]

Kinda questionable release but oh well, seems cool. Nintendo already confirmed that they don't want to say goodbye to 3DS line in nearest future so please people stop being ret... annoyingly stupid with your "LET IT DIEEEE" because it's confirmed that it will not die.

Also yeah, it's fucking ugly. But wait 10-20 years - Ugly limited edition released at the end of console's lifespan will be sought by all crazy collectors item worth gazillions dollars.

These will be out today.

Anybody that gets one, please report in about the firmware, hackability, and legit OOT3D cia.

why would anything need to be reported. as long as its not 11.6 you arent going to have the slightest issue hacking it. even 11.6 shouldnt be a problem, seeing as theres a switch for sleep mode making the new ds flash card exploit even easier.

There nothing wrong with confirming hackability, etc even if the odds are 99% in favor of it.
It takes only 30secs of somebody's time to make a post here about it.

People act as if it's impossible for Nintendo to update the 2DSs SOC. It's unlikely, but it could happen.

 

[KingVamp]

Just a reminder that the next main Pokemon will be coming to the Switch and not the 3DS. I really doubt the 3ds will have any significant focus after two years.

no, the odds are 100 percent for it. as of this moment, there is no 3ds that cannot be hacked.

I get what you're saying: it's impossible until it happens

Anywho, this is just a glorified bump.
To any US-ers out there, please check in with your Link 2ds findings.
I'll do so myself later this afternoon if I can snag one. If online is any indication, these will sell out quickly.
