It’s a deal spelled out in black and white: For the first time ever, Nintendo’s popular hand-held New Nintendo 3DS video game system will be offered at a suggested retail price of $99.99. Two special-edition models – one black, one white, both featuring Mushroom Kingdom characters and imagery – will be available starting Nov. 25. This system, along with great software, will appeal to gift-givers and value shoppers alike.

​

“Nintendo has some of the best gifts for the holiday season,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Whether you’re looking for games for the whole family, or a cool new system at a great value, Nintendo has you covered.”

Once shoppers pick the system, the next step is to load up on great games. Fortunately, the Nintendo 3DS family of systems library is massive, and has options for every type of player. Some of the new and recently released games available during the holiday season include Mario Party Star Rush, which launched Nov. 4; Pokémon Sun* and Pokémon Moon*, which launch Nov. 18; Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS** which launches Dec. 2; and both YO-KAI WATCH 2: Bony Spirits and YO-KAI WATCH 2: Fleshy Souls, which are now available. Shoppers can find more holiday game recommendations along with special offers, bundles and discounts by visiting Nintendo’s official Holiday Gift Guide.

Fans who want to build up their Nintendo 3DS game libraries can turn to evergreen classics like Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land or The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. At the same time, they can look to the future, knowing that a new Pikmin game for Nintendo 3DS, Ever Oasis and Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King are on the way in 2017.

1. Swim to the US
2. Get into a fist-fight at Wal Mart over the Black Friday deals and claim your prize
3. Swim back to your home with your 3DS in a water-resistant bag.

Too late for that. There's gonna be a wall before he can get here. XD

Yeah, but that wall covers the border to Mexico. Can't wall up the ocean.

who cares if its got a New firmware? Knowing Gateway, Yifan, and Smea they'll get 11.1 exploited eventually anyway, and its an American version of the best model of 3DS available for $100!
I had a Carbon New XL, loved the damn thing but its way too fucking big so I didn't carry it with me. in the end I traded with a family member who carried the original XL and sold his. still have my Gateway card and CubicNinja floating about, so for me, this is perfect!

 

[DrakeLyon]

I'm just gonna get one and do the DSiWarehax. I know it works too because I recently did it with a friend's New 3DS on the latest firmware. This Black Friday deal is very good for me.

The reason we care about whether it has the newer firmware or not is because starting from 11.x there's an anti-downgrade check in the firmware that limits what you can do with softmods - you'd need to hardmod it down to a franken-firmware before you could fully downgrade for stuff like AL9H. Not everybody has the means to hardmod.

So a hack to downgrade may never be made?

You can always use DSiWarehax lol. Why is no one talking about this? You just need a 3DS with A9LH already on it and the 3DS you want to downgrade on 11.X. It's all in Plailect's guide.

To reiterate, It will doubtless be hacked regardless, with the work those 3 have put into it, the 3DS is more or less busted. Just a few good exploits away from having it busted on the level of the PSP at this point.

If gamestop is carrying it can I not just go trade in my N3DS XL right now for $100 store credit and pick up the black one for basically free on black friday? Seems too good to be true...

but then again, if I miss out on black friday then I will be out a N3DS XL system and have $100 gamestop credit instead. Hmm

 

[mchew]

What stores are doing this?

I know of bestbuy and target for sure.

Doing it now is risky as it might sell out fast and you lost a xl
