3ds Price officially revealed

[KingVamp]

Well, look at the NDS and Wii release list, it's all garbage.
QUOTE(El-ahrairah @ Jan 21 2011, 07:22 PM) Ok, what good teen/adult games have come out on the DS in the past year? Maybe Black Ops? Yeah, that game looks sweet as hell... And what else? What other M rated game was big last year...I can't think of one and I can't find one on the list of released games. You know what was big? Kingdom Hearts Re:coded (even though it wasn't released in the US until '11), Professor Layton and the Unwound Future and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn just to name a few.

And yet you name all these great games?

thats just a bit above the price of the dsi when it was released. pretty good, less than ide espeect it to be.

i wish you people would stop complaining about prices (except for fellow australians)
a good xbox 360 game is $120 over here
and the average ds game is $50 to $60
at the launch of the ps3 it was $800
a dsi xl is $300 over here
SO STOP DAMN COMPLAINING!!!

WHAT HE SAID!
I refuse to buy a 3DS when it's $100 more expensive than it is in america!
Not to mention that all the games will be way more expensive also.

SAD

I could punch Reggie in the throat. "Ofcourse we are not going to price it between $300 and $400" ... except in europe where it will be priced $340. Real classy Nintendo. A $90 markup compared to the US.

The larger capacity of the two (it was 80gb and 40gb at launch, right?) was $1k iirc
Edit: 20gb and 60gb at $829 and $999

oh wait on second thought I just compared receipts and the # is the same so I guess I still am within the top ten. I'm good to go. Sweet deal. Guys check out the official Nintendo videos of the announcement. You'll find that this console is very well worth the $250 mark. I think it is cheap for everything you are getting and they even throw in a 2GB card (yeah I know these days that is small but at least it is already there and you don't have to look for one, pull it out of your wii or camera, or whatever else)

Nintendo did good on the price imho.

i am going to buy it for the following reason
im an uber ninty fan boy who has played all the major classics
a graphical upgrade is awesome
even if i dont use the 3d
and if homebrew is ever on it, a n64 emu will surly be on it since it is obvious it could handle it
and it even has enough buttons

3 buttons short

Well you can put them on the tough screen. Though most games didn't use L and R. So you can put Z on L.

You...do realize that Reggie has nothing to do with Nintendo of Europe, right? He's NoA's prezy, not NoE's.

Well you can put them on the touch screen. Though most games didn't use L and R. So you can put Z on L.

If you looked up marketing on Google, you could then understand why it is this way.
