Nintendo 3DS Worldwide Price Cut announced, GBA/NES for 3DS VC

[SamAsh07]

Vita is looking worse and worse for me..

I'll agree to this too, I'm always 2-sided when it comes to Sony IDK why

@chris- If you can access eShop and download Pokedex 3D then you're absolutely fine.

I'm worried about the ambassador program...

Why so? It's not like they'll IP Block us out. If they did then they'll really enjoy on what will be heading their way in their email inbox and toll.

I was thinking about getting one of these with OoT 3D when I get the cash. Now I'm not sure if I should wait for the price cut or buy early for the Ambassador program...

You do realize you could probably buy all 20 of those games through Virtual Console or online for significantly less than what the price cut equals? Hell, it's probably cheaper to buy the console after its release and then buy all the NES/GBA games offered. I'm assuming NES games will be $5 a pop and GBA games will be $10 a pop.

umm 10 of the games are exclusive to the ambassadors

Just look at Nintendo Video for instance. No content for people outside US

I'm worried the ambassador program will be the same

Also, I dont think he would even want to get EVERY single of the free ones thats offered.

Just wait for the price cut

They'll probably go on sale eventually for all users. You think Nintendo would take the time to get those games working on a 3DS emu only to have it released to some people?

Who knows? Nintendo is pretty whacky

I know the price was bound to drop eventually, but I didn't expect the first price decrease to be quite so early, or quite so substantial. I did buy a 3DS early, and I am NOT interested in the games listed so far. There are a couple of the old NES games that I don't actually own on real hardware anymore, and I do have fond memories of them, but don't think that I would really want to play them again now. The GBA games are either uninteresting or I also have them on real hardware or even in an upgraded version (Yoshi's Island DS). Personally I'd rather them just gave us an equivalent amount of credit for their VC/3DS ware store. That would be much more interesting to me.

They love $$, so they probably will.
Look at the "limited edition" stuff they offer -.-
A year later another 100,000 copies printed lol.

anyway, I dont think the other 5 GBA games will be anything too fancy.. they would much rather want to sell those on the e-shop for $$$.

Well now that you've said it...a thought is needed for this. If that's the case, I'll never buy another 3DS game lol, I'll wait for it to get hacked then.

No, cause nintendo cares about 3ds owners.
They'd get angry without a special benefit for buying the 3DS before the price drop.

 

[prowler]

They've really got you fooled.

well they care more then sony anyway.
Sony: Get hacked for 1 month and put people's money at risk.
solution: give 2 free psn games to everyone and 1 month free ps+
Nintendo: get a price drop
solution: give 20 free games to people who already bought the 3DS

Nintendo doesn't want their customers unhappy.

Well not only Nintendo, even Sony and MS make us think they care

IMO the only people that actually care are your loved ones lol, rest of the world will be your barking dog if you've got the cash.

I'll agree to what FireGrey just posted above me, even though each company fools us into believing they care, the only one that cares slightly more than others is infact Nintendo. But I still won't remove any of the 3 from "IDC About Others, List"

If they cared about 3DS owners they wouldn't have launched it at $250 in the first place.

They're still charging you $40 for N64 ports that are "enhanced", $30 for a re-release of Super Mario All-Stars (just with a crappy CD and useless booklet) that wasn't even "limited edition", and still won't be launching a decent 3DS game until the holidays (Star Fox 64 is a joke, accept it).

The only thing that was actually good for Nintendo to do in the first place was the Metroid Prime Trilogy, but even then it's near impossible to find a copy around nowadays.

 

[raulpica]

Heck yeah, 20 free games for me! Awesome

Nintendo has already got everything set up to just dump ROMs onto the eShop and they aren't losing any profit since they can't even gain profit on these games anymore while Sony lost a lot of money + profit from these games and the PS+.

fixed for you...

 

[SamAsh07]

Now prowler's argument is valid, why don't we all just let this debate end and agree that both of them care to some extent?? Okay? Good.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

it's not like you have to buy them...

So Nintendo will stop ripping me off if I stop buying their products.

Brilliant!
