3DS games on sale at Amazon
- Thread starter Immaculate
- Start date
and people stil "complaining" about 3ds games prices. Look at amazon.es (i live in spain), animal crossing was 33 yesterday and its 35 today... and again not $... Also, i have only used amazon spain but i can read FREE shipping on amazon.com for the US. For me is 2.99 shipping. So, animal crossing for "complainers" like you 26.59$. For me 35.10 + 2.99 shipping = 38.09. 26.59$ vs 38.09... That cant be true, i am doing something wrong? This happens with any game, differences vary but they are allways there.

our expectations are different.
even here in canada; i expect games to be at 19.99 (for portable) games for me to go grab em. and my friends share the same sentiment.
we're used to deals, many competitive retailers so it works out for us.
if i were to live in a country (Australia for exmaple lol), my expectations for cheap prices wouldn't be so high. and i wouldnt complain that US is always cheaper either.
Lego City Undercover - $20.91

Waiting for price drops and buy 2 get 1 sales.
Lots of good games on that list, should try and get on those deals
One generation ago, $40 was the regular price in Canada. I say welcome to our world.

I wish OoT 3d was a launch game, that system had no games till OoT 3d came out.
Some of these games will go out of print before Nintendo lets the price drop, and a B2G1 sale wouldn't save you much, if anything, over these prices.

Ew, still too much. How long until those things drop to 20 or less?
Maybe I'll just give up waiting and get Mario Kart now.

Let me put it this way; Mario Kart DS is still $35. So you might be holding out for a *very* long time.
EDIT: And sale seems to be over for OoT: 3D.
This. I came in here expecting see sub-$20 games not almost full price.
Goddammit I just bought this for full price two days ago.
MH may be next year since its a Capcom title and MH4 might be out by then. MK 7 ? :lol

Hnnnnnng, I wasn't going to buy any more 3DS games until August or September but with this sale going on it would be silly not to...
The question is, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, or Mario Kart? D:
Help me GAF, you're my only hope T.T

Grabbed 2 copies of Animal Crossing.
One for me and one for my sister. If its anything like previous AC games the price won't get much lower than that.
Wanted to grab DKCR, but I have a feeling that one will drop again. Almost all of the DK drop in price more than once.
Now all I really have to wait for is Kid Icarus again at a dirt cheap price.

FIne, Mario Kart 7 bought. It's very annoying that I can find huge budget AAA games for 20 in just 6 months, but these handheld games never go below 30. Wasn't long ago many handheld games were 30 new.
Edit: And might as well just wait buy MH4 new for a few more bucks.
those are sales? man Steam got me spoiled
Ya, as a PC gamer looking to dabble in portable gaming, it kills me that a 3ds xl w/ 3 games (say fire emblem 3, monster hunter, new super mario) is like $300. That could get a HUGE amount of content during the upcoming steam summer sale.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Sadly no

these are Nintendo first party titles. They rarely go down in price
10-15hrs
That's too bad. I can't see myself putting tons of solo hours into a game like that.

I want to play Luigi's Mansion so badly, but sadly I'm poor. Gonna hold out and hope for $20 eventually.

Great deal on Animal Crossing, especially since it's the most recent release.
Amazon's CS came through too; I ordered a new copy a week or so ago, but it's in limbo due to shipping issues, so I asked if I could get credited the difference or if I'd have to do a new order. Easy as pie for em!

Those prices won't permanently drop until people stop buying the games at full price. Mario Kart has always had legs, same story with the NSMB series...Wasn't Twilight Princess $50 in the U.S. for like 4 years? I wouldn't count on 1st party 3DS games hitting $20 until they start a Player's Choice line or whatever, but I don't think they even did that for the 3DS.

OOT is already (temp) out of stock. I always manage to miss it.

Good prices. Now just need a good sale on the 3DS XL. C'mon Nintendo...
Stop complaining, at least you know with these games nonce you have finished them you still can sell them for +20 bucks and get most of your money back. What's wrong with games retaining their value for longer than two days? Rather spend a couple of bucks on quality titles with value, than buying a bunch of games I don't intend to play just because they are cheap.

Man, if only the sale was $10-$15 cheaper, I'd buy something. $10 off just isn't enough for me to bite.
Come on people, don't tell me you've forgoten how much Nintendo hates price drops, this sale is a steal, saddly I already have all those games :S
I think you'll be waiting a long time =/
Fixed. I'd buy an XL and AC in a second.
