Nintendo 3DS - Share Your Friend Codes!

LOL at the price drop. I bet the people who bought it earlier will be raging... Hard.

The early adopters will be given Nintendo credits worth more money than the price drop.

The 3DS will eventually go back up in price since the real good games that will give it momentum aren't out yet. Gonna grab one of these before that happens.

The news I was waiting for. Birthday or Christmas treat, fo sure.

Wow, it really plunged to a price where it actually attracts my attention for a new handheld.. lol

To those who bought a 3ds earlier you get 20 free games

Even they know they manage to fuck it up with that original price. Greedy bastards.

This price drop means I'll probably pick it up now.

I still wont get get it...yet. I will probably get it when they make a remake of the 3DS like how they did to the original. But at the moment my eyes are dead set on the ps vita.

As soon as I heard 'Ambassador' I was reminded of a pair of glasses with the nintendo logo on it that I used to own when I was 8-9. It was technically my first piece of gaming memorabilia.

[super hard to get any nintendo branded glasses. Yes, there was more than one style they made]

All the other 'found' models [21 different frames were made]



They were made in small quantities and had a few other things with it. Made me think that the name of the 3ds program was like a little inside nintendo joke. lol so yea a little gaming trivia for the watercooler.

OT: This is nice! very nice! Also, the most interesting part about the annoucement is near the end namely these two parts:



and...



So what the early adopters will be getting would be 'test' versions? If not, then what would the whole 'updated' thing imply? Possible that it might be a 3D classics kind of release. I mean, they are giving people Yoshi's Island then not releasing it to the general public so it doesn't seem too far out there.

Better wait till Christmas. Mario Kart 3D and Super Mario Land 3D will be out!

Even if you do get those 20 free games it still wouldn't be worth.. to me at least. And all of them are just rehashed being on the Ds.

I think I'll buy the 3DS when they release the 3DS LITE with better Battery life.

Also when more appealing games release, do I really need more rehashes?... When are new IP's Comming out for Nintendo... last one they had was probably Pikmen..

I have a hunch that the 3DS Lite won't be cheaper, that's why I'm grabbing this now. That's what happened with the DS -> DS Lite. There will be too many good titles.

According to Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, there will not be a compact version of the 3DS, due to it already being packed with the smallest technology they have at the moment. http://www.geek.com/articles/games/there-wont-be-a-3ds-lite-system-is-fully-packed-from-the-start-20110131/

Nyko released a battery that improves playtime of the 3DS, at the expense of being bulkier. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/03/heavy-black-rubber-testing-nykos-third-party-3ds-battery.ars

He says there will not be a revision coming "short-term". He doesn't mean it will never come. As better technologies come out they will be able to make a new version with better battery life.

After all, the 3DS has a 1300mAh battery. You can already mod it yourself to get a 2000mAh battery.

Yeah, should have added that.

I think I'll be happy with the current 3DS at its current price, though.

Precisely. That's why I'm getting one as soon as the price falls in August.

This suck I got my 3DS went it can out I should of waited.
