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

[dgwillia]

Lol, the Welcome Back program was pretty awesome. And i loved how people who forgot/procrastinated thier Free Downloads complained and ended up getting another extension. (Which was awesome for me, since it glitched up and i got a second month of PSN Plus for free)

Glad I sold my 3DS back to asda, I will wait till after christmas still just in case the price goes down again, plus I want a new 3DS that doesnt scratch itself.
May just wait for a new model.
good news though.

You sure should be glad.
I should have traded it in for 154 when I had the chance. Called up game and they are offering me £130~

Not really interested into VC or anything -.-

Uh oh I'm quite happy to be an early adopter, so much good free game

And yay for price cut, everyone will be happy!

Im scared to see the price tag in euro already seeing Dsi XL at about 169€ it means the 3DS would come cheaper than that.. and i doubt it ><

Edit : nice granville keep one thread XD

Do you foresee the price dropping below £130? If so, I guess you could still get some money back. It doesn't really seem worth the trouble though.

Wonder when these games become available (The NES ones i mean). Either way, i cant wait.

Thumbs up to Nintendo on this one, quite an awesome move

I am guessing that you should be able to get it for less than £130.. at least on amazon.

Looks like Mario 3D's name may have been officially confirmed in those press statements as well as all the other news. I glimpsed the name they seem to be giving it there- "Super Mario 3D Land".

I thought at first they meant Mario Land on GB VC, but nope, that's what the new 3DS game's title appears to be.

Maybe you could get the games and then sell the 3DS as a whole locally for some profit, then just get another 3DS. With all 20 games, especially the exclusive GBA ones, you have to figure that somebody that missed out that is really interested would probably pay a solid amount. Maybe even trade you their 3DS plus some money.

I seen that. Super Mario Land 3D would have been better, but whatever.

Also read Mario Kart 3DS is Mario Kart 7.

As in the name is Mario Kart 7.

Yeah, theres been 6 Mario Karts before it. (SNES, GBA, N64, Gamecube, Wii, DS).

On a side note, i LOVE how people on other forums are raging/trolling about the price drop. I dont regret buying it Day 1 at all

lol.. I dont think the same offer would be up for europe. Either way, I dont think I will find someone who would be interested into VC and classic content. Unless some here on temp is willing to pay lol.

Neither in AU the games are probably about 10 dollares each, buying all of them itd be around $200 that theyre giving us free.

I could see Nintendo naming it Mario Kart 7. With a fancy logo, and 7 being considered a rather "powerful" number among superstitious people.

That'd also make it obvious it's a different title from Mario Kart DS

*cough* Final Fantasy 7 *cough*

But wow, the 7th Mario Kart already?

@topic: If they plan on dropping the price by 1/3 or the current price, it should be ~145€ here then, which sounds like a more "real" price than 250 (now being 217).
I'm still waiting tho, til more new/real/proper games get released (I mean, I love remakes, but I don't want to buy such a device just for those)...

 

[Frogman]

mmm...Not too happy about getting cheated $100.
Oh well.
I guess the free games are cool though

Yea, I was just thinking that.

"Not only do I got MK on the 3DS, it is lucky too!"

After you think about it, your money would have gone to them to that new R&D building anyway.

 

[koimayeul]

what about being cheated, getting screwed over first price etc.. it was you guys decision to pay full price as early adopters of the device none forced you and none stole from your wallet.. make a choice, stick with it & be happy to get extras geez -_-'

You would feel the same way if you bought it at launch.

Specially since none of the VC or classic stuff interests me any longer.
