Nintendo has just announced the price drop for the 3DS. Before, it was $250. Now, it's being dropped to $170.
Personally, I think this is a good idea on their part since $250 is way expensive for a Nintendo handheld system.

I actually heard about this when I was at Nintendo Fan Forum earlier this morning. I'm excited that the 3DS is getting more affordable in 2012. I may want to consider getting one of these on my 20th birthday. ^_^
Glad to hear it. I personally just couldn't see paying 250.00 for any handheld system.
Should help sales a little bit in the short term but they really need to get their heavy first party hitters out.
Didnt take very long for the price drop. They have alot of games I want to play comming out, may have to upgrade my ds lite.

Agreed. Especially since I only have a DS Lite. I wonder if the price drop is also because cell phones are getting 3D.Otown407SoldierDidnt take very long for the price drop. They have alot of games I want to play comming out, may have to upgrade my ds lite.

Probobly, the technology isnt as "new" anymore. I really wanna try Ocarina of Time in 3D. I loved that game and just want it in my collection anyway, no idea what happened to my original.toystoryfreak1995Agreed. Especially since I only have a DS Lite.

I'm waiting for the inevitable system redesign before I buy one.
Lets not forget the lackluster library the Wii had during its initial release. The biggest title at release was a GCN port. Eventually the big hitters arrived. Nothing makes the 3ds any different. The holiday season should be interesting provided some of the games stick with their release schedule.
10 free NES games (in September) and 10 free GB Advance games at the end of the year seems to be decent compensation for those who bought the 3ds at the $250.00 price.

It's because it isn't selling well, and many games got cancelled on it.

Now I may consider buying one.
Same, but I may need to take some more time before getting it.
Yes and Kid Icarus still not available.
Also, maybe it's a play for the new Wii next year.

It's amazing how quickly they dropped the price. It hasn't been a year. I wonder if people will now buy Nintendo 3ds.

DSi stayed up all year, and that variation of the Nintendo DS sucked.
