$99 New 3DS Black Friday Deal

Mellahan

Concerned about dinosaur erection.
Will the Switch play 3DS games? I remember doing a search and physical was a no go. Digital maybe?

If not, I'll be getting this.

Physical BC very unlikely. Digital who knows. But man, this is a real steal for the best 3DS version.

The system is great. Cover plates are very fun, I have a lot. The candy colored buttons are also cool. Battery life not too bad. Jump on it people. I should find my old ORAS plates photos...

Are these the New 3DS that's able to play like Xenoblade Chronicles? Also do we know how large or small the run will be?
 
Welp. I guess it's time to upgrade. I've been sitting on my OG launch blue 3DS forever since I couldn't convince myself to upgrade at the current prices not playing handhelds as much.

As someone who's had both black and white JPN3DS since day one, the black is objectively better.

The white one gets too dirty

I hope this reach to Mexico. I want replace my 3DS XL with a New 3DS so this can be my chance. I don't have any hope about the price, though.
 
I have a duel IPS N3DS already, but that's a hell of a deal. I really like the face plates too. I wonder if Nintendo would be cool enough to sell them separately.

awesome price. I wonder if they'd go lower on 2DS or if $79 is the bottom.

Gonna look nice on store shelves alongside the $199 Switch in March.

I microwave steaks.
Ips screens or death. After the nightmare of having to try and get an ips screen for my second new 3ds xl, i'm not going to play nintendo's lottery system again.

Otherwise i'd totally get in on this deal.

Oh my godddd I've been waiting for the black n3ds for so long, and now here it is, and what the hell would I even play on it. Especially with NX looming. God I'd be such a pice of shit if I bought this.

Wow, if I didn't already have a New XL this would be a no brainer. Great deal and great strategy for Nintendo going into the holidays.

Wait, why does the title say black Friday? Article makes it sound like this is the new ongoing price.

The article says it will be available Nov 25, which is Black Friday. It also says limited edition as well. So I don't know how you got an ongoing price from all that.
 
This is for NA yeah? Fucking sold on the black one. Was positive we would never get it.
Hope I can have the money for it before it disappears. :(

I like the black New 3DS, but I don't want to play Nintendo's screen lottery again. I managed to get a New 3DS with dual IPS screens with the Mario Land bundle.
