Yamibito · Sep 13, 2012

Too expensive

Horse Armour · Sep 13, 2012

Dat arrogance.

Triple U · Sep 13, 2012

Yeah, no.

gofreak · Sep 13, 2012

Huh. I guess the yen is hurting that much.

DaBuddaDa · Sep 13, 2012

Should be 249 and 299. Bad Nintendo.

gamergirly · Sep 13, 2012

Eeh. It's still Premium for us tho. Might as well pay $50 more

dc89 · Sep 13, 2012

Still waiting on UK prices. I think.

hatchx · Sep 13, 2012

350 bundle should include wii remote and nunchuck.

Bingo. Can't do 1:1 conversion when the yen is that strong.

jokkir · Sep 13, 2012

Not sure what to think

Given the 3DS price here relative to Japan, I figured it would definitely convert to $300/$350.

Impeccable · Sep 13, 2012

DAMN! There is no chance of me getting one at this price. I somehow felt like $199 was in the realm of possibility and $249 was realistic.

No way.

GlamFM · Sep 13, 2012

As expected.

Averon · Sep 13, 2012

Wow. Way to high Nintendo.

chubigans · Sep 13, 2012

Oh jeez. Yikes.

Did not expect that honestly. Well, I did for a long while until I got convinced it was $250 a few weeks ago.

Good luck with that, Nintendo!

The dollar is hurting. The reason it's so expensive here is because the yen is so strong compared to the dollar.

Brad Grenz · Sep 13, 2012

What I expected. Walmart is already selling Kinect+Arcade for $249 today. I think PS3 Superslim will start at $150 this fall.

TheGreatDivide · Sep 13, 2012

Nintendo had a good run.

Allan Holdsworth · Sep 13, 2012

Was obvious if you knew the value of the yen.

Derrick01 · Sep 13, 2012

The price is about $50 too high for each version. As I said in the last thread it'd be nice to take Nintendo Land out and knock ~$20 off.

Anustart · Sep 13, 2012

Deluxe model please.

The Elite · Sep 13, 2012

And that killed it for me. I'll wait for a price drop or some awesome trade in deal. Just not enough games at launch to get me that excited.

BadWolf · Sep 13, 2012

The hardware is not worthy of those prices I think.

7Th · Sep 13, 2012

Nintendo is the new Sony.

Busaiku · Sep 13, 2012

Yup, not on board.

Van Owen · Sep 13, 2012

Well, I got the basic Sku price right.

ivysaur12 · Sep 13, 2012

Well we get Nintendoland as a packin and Japan doesn't. So not entirely surprised.

grindamasta · Sep 13, 2012

350? LOL

bgassassin · Sep 13, 2012

Had expected $349 a long time ago. So I will be buying as soon as possible.

PopcornMegaphone · Sep 13, 2012

More expensive than I thought it would be, but once a 3D Mario is released I'll pay.

Data West · Sep 13, 2012

is it 32gb internal?

Will probably just buy the white one with an SD card because I wanted white anyways.

Man-is-Obsolete · Sep 13, 2012

GAF meltdown over $50 incoming, lol.

I am more intrigued by the cost of the Gamepad separately. $150?

Tagg9 · Sep 13, 2012

Nintendo dun goofed up.

BatDan · Sep 13, 2012

I'm okay with this.
That Deluxe set will be mine.

Yeah. I meant the strong yen hurting them that much. But anyway, you get what I mean.

I guess 300/350 euros then too. But we'll see.

StuBurns · Sep 13, 2012

Pretty damn bad.

Mrbob · Sep 13, 2012

Nope.

BlazingDarkness · Sep 13, 2012

I lol'd

yankeehater · Sep 13, 2012

To high. I thought $249 for sure.

ULTROS! · Sep 13, 2012

Not surprised with the price though.

The question is... Is it region free?

ScreenSplitter · Sep 13, 2012

Apparently the whole 3DS thing has been erased from their memory bank.

Ken Masters · Sep 13, 2012

$350 for black?

hell no, will wait for black $250

IrishNinja · Sep 13, 2012

hoped for $50 less but price might be worth it for this thread

lefantome · Sep 13, 2012

what if they are selling consoles a bit underprice in us and they will sell them in EU at 300 and 350? lol

XenodudeX · Sep 13, 2012

Knee jerk reactions go.

299 was always the base price.

When have Nintendo's home consoles ever been region free?

Memento_Mori15 · Sep 13, 2012

Yup, knew this was going to be the price. I'll buy it when super smash brothers comes out

Darklord · Sep 13, 2012

Guys, you don't understand. This is a brand new console. It's plays BRAND NEW games like Batman Arkham City. Reggie hold me himself.

Pretty much.

Excited to see what the next Xbox/PS4 launch for. Could be interesting if it's around the same price.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
