With a bit of luck the rest of the world will have similar deals... I'm hoping I can pick up a good black friday deal on a Wii U in the UK - preferrably a premium with a physical copy of MK8.

Me too I'm after a New3DS bundle but not the XL. Hoping to grab something from amazon's black Friday promotion.

 

[LightyKD]

I really hope they go ahead and do Splatoon on the eShop for 25. I'm no where near filling up my hard drive because I can get games cheaper in physical than digital. It pisses me off because Id rather have all my games in digital format. WTF Nintendo?!

 

[HaloEffect17]

Splatoon for $25 US makes me wonder why I spent $70 CAN for it in the first place.

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

Oh Yeah!! I hope my Parents get me the New 3DS Bundle....and at that low Discount!! (For Christmas)

[MionissNio]

Nooooooo damn restricted eshop access on 9.5 firmwares I won't be able to buy games at such cheap rate....

 

[HaloEffect17]

I might get splatoon for $25. But I really want to wait for a Smash U deal.

Getting Splatoon for $25 is a steal. Definitely get it if you can.

Edit: Oh, and I love your sig.

 

[tony_2018]

I might just pick up another 3ds xl

 

[Ericzander]

Splatoon looks like the best deal here.

I'm thinking of getting the Nathan Drake Collection PS4 bundle for $300 which comes with a $50 giftcard. Will probably use half of those funds for Splatoon and the other half for... I'm not sure yet! Maybe The Witcher 3.

 

[Clydefrosch]

id absolutely buy ac and nsmb2 for that price... too bad its never going to happen here

 

[vayanui8]

I thought that target was already selling that splatoon and smash bros wii u for $250 for the season...

 

[CitizenSnips]

So does anybody know what firmware the o3ds XL might come with? Thanks

All old 3DSes come with a firmware of 9.2 or lower, unless they've started to poop out more.

 

[Katsumi San]

Hmm perhaps purchase of ORAS this black friday... I do not know what to buy? When I lived in Japan I buy emerald for GBA handheld. Which ver. is better for 3DS? Any difference?
