Tentacruel Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The 3DS, as you probably have heard, is going to drop to $170 very soon. If you already have it, just go online with it before the price drops and you will eventually get [b][i]20 [/i][/b]free games. (10 NES and 10 GBA, on the Virtual Console.) Gotta love Nintendo.

And yea, best part is stores are cutting prices early so some people can get both the saved money and the free games. Also, giving away free games to those that brought in early is a very good tradeoff since odds are you would have spent about that, or maybe even more had you gotten 20 games normally.

ThatPhantomGuy Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Exactly. Plus by the time they come out with it, the games will be cheaper. Because I really want Street Fighter, Starfox and Blazblue. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm getting it now, purely because I don't want to wait, and only have a year or two before the next gen system comes out. >:[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You do know that won't be for a few years right? Remember the DS and Lite had about a 2 year gap. And even then, part of it was because of the high demand for the DS, something the 3DS doesn't have. Anyway, got mine today at the discounted price. So $80 saved and 20 free game gotten. All I can say is WINNING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 [quote name='Noel Vermillion' timestamp='1312914614' post='5427972'] 3DS is now $170? ... ...cool *goes back to waiting for PSV* [/quote] You're going to wait for a more expensive system with an even less interesting launch line-up? Suit yourself. I went on the eShop multiple times to be safe, but I'm looking forward to the free games. Hopefully Minish Cap is one of the GBA games. If I had to make one complaint, it's that Nintendo should have released the red 3DS by now, since people who want that color won't be able to take advantage of the Ambassador Program.

Phantom Roxas Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Is that the message that details the Ambassador Program? I thought that was simply a way of telling people to get onto the eShop, not a notification once you had already done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Nintendo's biggest problem was a lack of a decent Line up. Along with reheated Nintendo 64 Games. Mario 64 DS was fantastic due to the fact that it added so much more to the previous version. OOT 3DS is just that, OOT with a Visual Makeover. Hopefully Starfox is good as there was a rumor flying around that this would be the last Starfox game if it doesn't sell well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people wanted the same game again. I have high hopes for Stafox though, the nostalgia alone will be enough to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Nintendo should have held back the release to wait for better launch titles. If they'd done so, then they wouldn't have had 3 bad system launch lineups in a row, and this would have been avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rias Gremory Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Wow! $170 dollars? I'm def getting this for my birthday on September. plus on September 9th the RED 3Ds will be released. FINALLY! I am getting 3Ds cuz of (instead of waiting for PsVita): -Ocarina Of Time (Already released) -Starfox 64 3D (September) -Super Mario 3Ds (November) -Mario Kart 3Ds (December) -Kid Icarus 3D (2011 Month not confirmed) -Luigi's Mansion 3D (2011) and maybe Dead or Alive Dimensions! I mean all those titles sound great to me :3 Sadly not so much money to buy all of them. But I will take advantage of Starfox being released same month as my b-day and ask my parents to buy it with that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 My bros got 3DSs yesterday, and they didn't get the message detailing the Ambassador Program. So it's safe to say you're in it if you got the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
