I like how no one is talking about the Nintendo 3DS Price drop

[Omegajak]

Seriously? No one on this entire sub-forum has anything to say about this?

[A.J. Nitro]

I'm also loving the whole 20 free games thing.

[thernz]

I'm still not going to buy one, heh.

Shut up, I'm SOOO scared of that.

Ugh, I still won't get one because of that said fear.

Actually, I'm almost with you in that boat
because when the XL comes out, there's going to be another price drop on the normal 3DS

Nintendo already said, before the 3DS even came out, they're not going to "update" the 3DS's design for at least another 2-3 years.

[Phantom Killah]

I'm psyched about the 20 free games I'm getting.

[TomGuycott]

As I recall Capcom also said they'd want downloadable content for Marvel vs Capcom 3.
I know we're talking about Nintendo and not Capcom, but I'm sitting here wondering whether they had their fingers crossed when they said that.

So I'm /NOT/ the only person who actually read that

because every time i head someone talk about the 3ds the first thing anyone says is HARDWARE REVISION COMING SOON

it's like ps3 has no games jokes

in fairness
the 3DS came out about four/five months ago
so that gives us a little over a year and a half before said design changes would possibly happen



heh

either way I probably won't be getting a 3DS until the design changes happen anyway
(read as: Rosen probably won't be getting a 3DS for another year or two maybe)

Psyched about my 20 free games. I didn't pay for mine anyway so i don't really care that the price got dropped after i already bought it.

Also they only reason i bought a DS lite over a DS phat was the brighter screen.
And since the 3DS screen is already bright enough, i have no reason to purchase an upgrade if they release one.
The only ''problem'' with the current design is the position of the power button. It's right where START was on the DS lite. So it's easy to click power off when you only tried to pause the game. Oh, and the stylus is in a retarded position but that's bearable because it's not like you're pulling it out and putting it away constantly. When it's out, it stays out.

When I heard price drop my face dropped but then I read 20 free games and saw some of the games on the list and now I'm perfectly okay with this.

And because this information doesnt appear to be directly on the page anywhere yet:

Since Nintendo 3DS launched in the United States on March 27, more than 830,000 people in the U.S. alone have purchased one to enjoy 3D visuals without the need for special glasses. These Nintendo 3DS owners represent some of Nintendo's most loyal customers, and Nintendo is rewarding them for getting in on the action early with 20 free downloadable games from the Nintendo eShop.

These free games are available to anyone who owns a Nintendo 3DS system and uses a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 11. These users will automatically be registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program. The program contains two elements:

Starting Sept. 1, Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors will be able to download 10 NES™ Virtual Console™ games at no charge and before they are available in the Nintendo eShop to the general public. These games, including Super Mario Bros.™, Donkey Kong Jr.™, Balloon Fight™, Ice Climber™ and The Legend of Zelda™, are slated to become paid downloadable games, but Ambassadors get them early for free. Once the paid versions of the games are posted to the Nintendo eShop later in the year, the updated versions will be available to Ambassadors for download at no cost.

By the end of 2011, Nintendo will provide Ambassadors with 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games. These include games like Yoshi's Island™: Super Mario™ Advance 3, Mario Kart™: Super Circuit, Metroid™ Fusion, WarioWare™, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and Mario vs. Donkey Kong™. These games will be available exclusively to Ambassadors, and Nintendo currently has no plans to make these 10 games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future.
