Nintendo Slashing 3DS Price by a Third

[Funkysandwich]

That's way less then I paid for a 1st gen DS way back when they launced.

I thought this would happen, but I'm going to hold out in the hopes that they release one with a better battery.

I won't joke about "where are the games that aren't an established franchise, because by now that seems implicit, yet completely unnegotiable.

Wii new Nintendo owned IP

English release
Xenoblade
The Last story
Pandora's Tower

No English release
Zangeki no Reginliev
Captain Rainbow

So they do create new IPs and it's funny that people say they don't

The thing is Nintendo could have next E3 with all new IPs and say, one Mario game, everyone will focus exclusively on the Mario game, no matter if it's something like Mario Does Accounting, or the next game in the series.

There's also Steel Diver on the 3DS. It's kind of funny, when they made a new IP and brought back an old one (Pilotwings), they were criticized for not launching with one of their flagship franchises. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Well, there goes the competitive edge for the PSVita. I almost feel sorry for Sony, they made sure that they're competitively priced for once but then all of a sudden the 3DS is cheaper.

i'm still waiting for the pokemon themed ones

Pokemon Spectacular Sapphire and, Radiant Ruby, coming in 2013 (you know they're remaking them! I KNOW THEY'RE REMAKING THEM!!!)

So are you automatically enrolled? Do you need to be in Club Nintendo? I got mine recently and don't know how to tell if I'm in...

I was curious as to weather I needed to be in Club Nintendo in addition to having a 3DS before (at time of writing) midnight tonight in order to download the 20 games through the Ambassador Program. I then wikied the thing and know I don't need to. It just looks like all I needed to do was get on the E-Store which I've done.

Fun fact: Target (or rather, certain Targets) also initiated the 3DS price cut today.
