Source:

For people who have already bought the 3DS at its high price they're going to give away 20 free games for the people who bought them early with 10 free NES Virtual Console games being released early.

Holy Arceus, that was a quick price drop, and it is for 1/3 of the price! Looks like I'll be getting one sooner then I expected. See children, this is why patience is a virtue.

Tetris almost certainly will come out, though, unless they remake it again. |

It actually makes sense to get it now, without the price drop, too, since you'll be getting 20 free games over the eShop. Assuming each is approx. $4 that makes up for the -$80 the discount takes it down anyway. Or, people who get it with the discount and want all the games end up paying the full price. So it's pretty even.

Actually just a Gameboy Colour game is Ł5.40, so a GBA game will likely be a fair bit more. Then take into account exchange rates (How much is LoZ:LA in the US eShop?) and you're probably looking at quite a lot more than $80. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Now I feel like I've been ripped off.
Even though I got it for free. Whatever. Going by UK prices, if an NES game is Ł3.50 (500 Wii points) and it'll be 10 of those, and 10 GBA games (Let's assume they'll be Ł7 each, or 1000 Wii points), you'd be paying Ł105. Considering the RRP of the 3DS in the UK was Ł230 (We got SO ripped off with that), that's almost worth half of the cost of the 3DS. Even if the GBA games were only Ł5 each you're still looking at a good Ł85, which is just over 1/3 of the price of a 3DS. Also take into account that we'll get the NES games earlier, and that the GBA games aren't even slated to be released to the general public and I'd say that's a DARN GOOD DEAL. EDIT: @Kakashi that was an error with Amazon stocks of Black 3DSes which has since been resolved. Last edited by Ningamer; July 29, 2011 at 09:37:37 PM. |

There is a grand total of ONE "faulty problem" with the 3DS. It would screen-of-death occasionally when you played Ridge Racer 3D. This has since been patched. Because the 3DS has firmware updates to fix crashes with software/hardware. Your mom is an idiot.

My mom must be dumb, well if the problem has been fixed im hoping to get a 3DS sometime soon, cause i need a new DS as my top area has hinge damage and it wont stay in place anymore (the thing that makes it stay open in place), but it stays works though i just have to hold up the top area when playing in a certin angle.

Well in terms of Pokémon, I'd LOVE it if you can somehow trade Pokémon from one VC title to another. Especially if they let you bring your Gen. I and II Pokémon into Gen. III, or use the PokéShifter/Pal Park from your Gen. III digital copies. That would certainly help people who don't have the GBA slot. And I have no doubts they'll at least release FR/LG for the Virtual Console. WIth this announcement of GBA games, I expect them to remake R/S and release FR/LG as they are on the eShop.
