Yes oxen, if you buy the 3DS anytime before 12th August, you will get the FREE VC games.

Meh, not really interested in the Ambassador's Program. The games on the GBA end don't interest me much. Plus I've still got my DSLite and my old GBA games, not to mention an NES Emu on my Acekard.

I'm really looking forward to the price drop though, since I've yet to get a 3DS. After seeing how much the PSVita was gonna cost without 3G, I was beginning to wonder how Nintendo would react, considering Sony is probably paying more for their hardware than Nintendo is. A price drop just plain makes sense.

Metroid Fusion and Yoshi's Island alone are enough of a compensation for me. And let's be honest: Who here bought the 3DS for $250, anyways? I preordered the 3DS on Amazon and got it for 222€, that means 52€ above the new price, which is OK, considering I was among the first people to own one. Nintendo doesn't have to pay back anything. The fact, that they do, just shows that they indeed respect their customers. The games are pretty awesome, too. Especially the GBA games.

thanks for the quick answer to machomuu and samash07, that´s all i want to know

i see if can buy a 3ds for my wife

Doubt it'll be pokemon. It's not the kind of game they'd release it for free. Sides, TPC is probably making a R/S remake for the 3DS.

Check the SSBB roster for the other 5 NES games

.

I hope they re-release Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Zelda the minish cap, Advance wars and maybe a 3rd party game.

Small edit:

Jumping to conclusions, huh? Although my Wii and PS3 are pirated, I still buy new games for the games that I think are worth it. No More Heroes 1/2, Little King Story, Okami and many more that I didn't get a chance to play until I pirated my Wii. Yeah, I think I don't give a shit [/sarcasm]

Not jumping into conclusions, you were the one that made a bad post. You could have said you own the cartridges and don't have any interest in some of these games than saying that you own a SCDS2 for this.

Yeah, don't worry. I didn't explain myself pretty well, now that I look at my post it certainly looks like I was an asshole

No worries dude. I was kinda rough with my words too

I was wrong then. I didn't think the 3DS's hardware was that pricey for Nintendo. Makes me wonder how much Sony is paying for the Vita's hardware.

 

[oxenh]

another question
the gba vc tittles will be only accesible by the abrassar program(al least the announcied ones in the program itself)?

Yes the GBA VC titles wil be available to Ambassador Program people only, Nintendo currently has no plans to release the 10 GBA games for other people.

Yes and no. GBA Titles will be released to the E-Shop soon, but the ones announced by the program won't be for sale, so they're exclusive titles.

Sorry dude, I deleted that part of my post because there's already a topic about it just below this one. IIRC the parts are $101, but obviously that doesn't include marketing and those things. I think that what they wanted to say is that they won't earn as much money as they wanted, though they will still win lots of money with their blockbuster Mario titles, don't worry.

Now's the chance for the people that are on the fence about the 3DS. I can't wait to see if the Vita lowers it's price too, althought I don't think that's going to happen, but Sony has to react in some way, at least in a Press Release or something

 

[Sonstwer]

- TLoZ: Minish Cap (I don't like it that much, but maybe it'd give me a chance to play it and possibly like it)

Isn't Minish Cap (co-)developed by Capcom? Since all the announced titles are Nintendo-developed ones, Minish Cap might not make it.

3DS: The new PSP Go.

Fail argument really.

Disappointing start.
Lack of titles.
Poor Sales.
Price Cut with LOADS of free games.

Yeah I think I'm allowed to say that.

Yeah, I'm at least glad to know that they still have a lot of potential to make some money off the system. The price drop might encourage some other big companies to get on board with software development for the 3DS as well. I think that some may have a been a little hesitant because of the cost of the system. That and they wanted to wait and see what Sony was planning with the Vita. I'm especially hoping that Square-Enix will start bringing some titles to the 3DS aside from KH3D. Even a port of Crystal Chronicles would be more than welcome in my book.

While it lacked a wide selection of launch titles, have you actually seen how many titles are being released for the 3DS by the end of the year? Granted a lot of them are Nintendo titles, but you also have:

Tales of the Abyss
Need for Speed
Sonic Generations
Cave Story
Professor Layton
Resident Evil
Harvest Moon
Shinobi
Testris
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (though i don't see the point in this one honestly)
Metal Gear Solid

Also, don't forget that the 3DS is still only on its 1st year. There's probably a lot more to expect later down the road.

You're allowed, but you're wrong.

It's because of 3rd Parties, firstly they don't know how to deliver a good game on 3DS and then later whine on it not selling, thus others cancel their projects.

That's why I respect Square Enix, they are masters in handhelds and consoles together. (Heroes Of Ruin the new example

)

Off-topic
You know what annoys me?? The sight of this:-
- Prince Of Persia Revelations
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Assassins Creed Revelations

Wtf? Is the next GTA also gonna be Revelations?? Call Of Duty Revelations? Lollololol.
