One of Nintendo's best values will be getting even better. On Aug. 30, the suggested retail price of the portable Nintendo 2DS system drops to $99.99, down from the current suggested retail price of $129.99. Even at the new suggested price, the system will still come packaged with the digital version of the acclaimed Mario Kart 7 game, making Nintendo 2DS an amazing value for shoppers.

Spoiler: Full Press Release

People looking for a great game to play with their new system can also pick up Little Battlers eXperience, which launches Aug. 21 for all Nintendo 3DS family systems, including Nintendo 2DS.

"At a suggested retail price of $99.99, Nintendo 2DS is an even more attractive introductory option for first-time gamers," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "The new lower-priced hardware combined with the strong lineup of new games launching this year and arguably the best library of games in this generation makes it a great time to be a Nintendo fan."

Ever since it launched in October 2013, Nintendo 2DS has been the go-to system for newcomers to the world of quality Nintendo video games. The system plays nearly the entire library of Nintendo 3DS games in 2D, as well as most Nintendo DS games. Players with Internet access can compete online, or enjoy local multiplayer co-op experiences with other Nintendo 3DS family system owners. With no hinges, the durable construction of Nintendo 2DS makes it perfect for younger players.

Little Battlers eXperience lets players build, customize and battle robots made from more than 4,000 in-game parts that allows for more than 30,000 different LBX robots. The game is one part of the strong franchise, which also includes an animated TV show and robot model kits. Players can team up with characters that appear in the TV series, or find friends who also own the game and a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 2DS system to connect via local wireless to battle it out or team up against tough opponents in the Ranking Battle co-op mode.

Other games for all ages and skill levels launching for Nintendo 3DS before the end of the year include Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash,Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and YO-KAI WATCH. All games are compatible with all Nintendo 3DS family systems, including Nintendo 2DS.

Remember that the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, including Nintendo 2DS, features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/2ds.

Sweet! Now if they would lower the cost of they're $40 games by about 10 bucks.

 

[Osha]

That's the price I got mine at, with Omega Ruby. Glad everyone can profit of it now.

They already offer the cheapest games in the console market.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

$100 still feels a lot for this budget 3DS version with a low quality screen, plus, no 3D as per it's advertised. Just get an O3DS or N3DS than this Doorstopper.

 

[olshrimpeyes]

Bleh honestly still feels overpriced to me.

 

[Wellington2k]

So technically the system is only around $70 since it comes with Mario Kart 7... That's a pretty good deal for someone on a budget.

 

[the_randomizer]

All they need to do now is reduce the price of the 3DS and 3DS XL and I might consider getting one

Guaranteed to be compatible with CFW (no xtra hardware needed too).
Comes with charger, sd card, and a legit free game (you can grab it with eshop spoofing still).

Great 2nd system for hacking.

Sweet! Now if they would lower the cost of they're $40 games by about 10 bucks.

CFW has you covered with an extra $30 off.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just had a bad experience looking for 3DS games, although, 3DS isn't the absolute cheapest. I tend to see Vita games averaging cheaper prices though.

I think he means nintendo never lowers the price on their games
6 year old mario game still full msrp
meanwhile at other consoles just wait a month or two after release of a game and you will get it for half price or less

 

[HaloEffect17]

Wasn't the GameCube at one point sold for $99.99 back then? If it were between getting a GameCube back in 2004/05 or getting a 2DS in 2015 for a hundred bucks, I'd probably choose the cube. Although the homebrew is nice for the 2DS.

 

[the_randomizer]

Eh, I'll spite the full retail price by buying 3DS and DS games used ;O;

Now they got to release more New 3ds with exploitable FW so we can get all the games

 

[irvinscastle]

meh still overpriced imo

 

[Jwiz33]

YES!!! I can't wait to get my brother a 2DS so we can play Pokemon Alpha Sapphire together. Sapphire was his first Pokemon game.

 

[CZroe]

Making room for a New 2DS?

This is not hard to imagine happening next year.

Don't know what they'll do with the face tracker though. Maybe control games with facial expressions? lol

 

[VashTS]

got one used for my son for $99 from gamestop, he preferred my 3ds so i wound up buying him a 3dsxl anyway -_- shouldn't have wasted my time. at least now i have a 9.9 exploited 2ds though, fun to dabble in hacks when i get the chance.

would be pointless on my gateway 3ds xl systems to mess with tubehax and ironhax.

 

[Fishaman P]

I never knew they raised the price after offering the ORAS editions at $99.99.

 

[shadow1w2]

Refurbished 2DS are down to 75 dollars a pop.
Dunno if they were before but that makes them a lot easier to grab for a kid or two.
Hopefully a sale on the refurbished units will make them easier to buy.
Would love to get my Niece one some day but not for that high a price heh.
