Well this is exciting. 3DS is drooping to $169 and gamers that already have a 3DS get 20it free games! And you guys said this was a dumb investment.

>20 free games
>3DS has no games

But in all seriousness, I'm surprised they're dropping the price this fast. I guess they think everyone who was dying for one already got it.

Now that is a price I can go for...if I had money :(

CheapAssGamer protip: Buy a 3DS in a few days from a store that offers price protection (refund cost difference if it goes on sale within the next 14/28 days), register your system, go back on the 12th and get your money back. Cheap 3DS and 20 games ftw.

GBA games? Oh I doubt that. I am thinking more along the lines of GB or GBC games. Then again, what do I know. I don't own a 3DS.

Either way, I would buy a 3DS for $100 MAX.

170 is not a bad price. The DSi cost more than that on release. I think.

Eh, it is an ok price but I just don't see the appeal in it if there aren't that many games that I want for it.

Best titles I seen so far are SSF4 and Orcarina of Time, I already have those.

Nintendo to lose money on every 3DS sold

I know this is just a theory, but I think that Nintendo dropped the price to late compete with the PSP Vita.

But who knows.

wouldn't be surprised if that were part of it Suga, but I think it's mostly because it's selling nowhere near as much as they want it to.

I'm all for the 3DS and even excluding the politics, there's fuck all out for it that I want. Mmmmmaybe resident evil.

I'm a 26 years old gamer. What do I want? Fucking Polit Wings? Fuck off! Invest money in some actual games.

Vita for me. I've even opened a saving fund just for it.

And the fact that I can get a DSi for about the same price means that I'll not be getting another 3DS. Petra has one, and she barely plays it.

Oh, add in the fact that I can't actually perceive parallax barrier effects mean that the 3D is completely wasted on me.

I'll probably pick one up when the price drop rolls in. It starts on August 12th here, and I don't think that 10 NES games and 10 GBA games are worth the $80 that I'd be saving. The thing's got no system sellers, but it will in due time. I hear that there are a few titles hitting this holiday season, and I know that I'll be picking up a few as its life span goes on. I'm also pretty sure that Street Fighter will occupy me well for a few months.

I guess I'll have to wait and see though. I'm not thrilled that Nintendo's selling at a loss, but I personally believe this to be their stupid fault.

They launched the thing with a huge bark and no bite. High price point, and a shitton of potential, but there's absolutely nothing big going for it.

What? A remake and a port? That's not enough for a system to make a name for itself, and now Nintendo's paying the price.

I had read an article today that described the 3DS' launch as Nintendo's worst launch blunder since the Virtual Boy... I'm honestly not going to disagree with that.

I've got faith that they'll be able to recover from tripping, but they're going to have to take a few hits, and hope to God himself that the Wii U doesn't falter on launch.

The 3DS isn't selling nearly enough.

I think I saw a link on twitter that said the 3DS was outsold 2 to 1 by the PSP.

no idea what region or any details, but I'm lazy and won't verify.

It's all about games. Once the heavy hitters finally show up the platform will be fine
