Their Senior VP of Sales and Marketing is really named Doug Bowser. Huh.

 

[Ridley327]

Is Luigi's Mansion any good?

It's pretty rad. It's a bit more arcade-like than the original game, but there's a ton of stuff to do, a lot of secrets to find, and it has a surprisingly robust multiplayer mode that you can play in pretty much ever configuration imaginable (single card download play, local multiplayer with owners of the game and online).

Bayo 2 got a reprint a few months that ago and can be found for just above $20 on Amazon.

The reprint is without Bayo 1, correct? Never played Bayo 1, so if that's the case is it better to hunt a 360 copy of the first or go through the struggle of finding the original run of Bayo 2?

Ocarina 3D and Windwaker HD will be the must haves for me. Was already going to pick up the ORAS titles in a week with all the Sun and Moon buzz, so that's a lot of Nintendo after going 3 years without buying a title!

 

[Aselith]

No WiiU system deal? :/ Come on, Nintendy

They're not trying to speed through the rest of their stock. It needs to last past the end of the fiscal year.

$200 is a damn good deal.

If you're not hung up on getting a physical copy, you can get the first Bayonetta on the eShop.

 

[dantevsninjas]

If that new 3DS was an XL I'd be all over it. Been meaning to pick one up.

 

[ThisOne]

I wonder if we'll see price drops around the holidays. I want to get a Wii U but not if they'll be cheaper in a few months.

 

[neoemonk]

The New Nintendo 3DS is Nintendo's third best handheld to date. (Second being the DSi and third being the Game Boy Micro.)

You said third twice. Did you mean GBA Micro is the best?

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Sorry, I'll correct my post. This is what I meant:

[JohnTinker]

Why aren't they re-releasing the Pokemon 20th Anniversary New 3DS? It would sell like GANGBUSTERS right now

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Because it was a limited edition model, to my knowledge.

 

[krpiper]

The amiibo bundles are on Amazon now. Selects usually aren't preorderable, though.

Oops, I meant the 3ds bundle!

 

[JohnTinker]

Because it was a limited edition model, to my knowledge.

I get that, but really it's only manufacturing more of the faceplates. I own one, and it isn't any different from the other white New 3DS models save for the Blastoise & Charizard faceplates.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Great choice of games getting re-printed and for cheap

Nice Ninty!

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I guess I have an excuse to finally buy those Lego games.

 

[mikeyvids]

Lego City Undercover finally at a locked discounted price. Watched this prices of this one go from retail to bargain bin to rarity back to retail, a lot like day trading.

Finally get to grab me some Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. It's one 1st party title that I missed a sale on and have been holding out yet meaning to get. Just in time for Halloween.

Good stuff Nintendo.

 

[TunaLover]

Hopefuly the price for regular Yarn Yoshi goes down
Edit: yep, it's cheaper now

 

[Calamari41]

Pick up Lego City if you haven't yet, it's a great game.

 

[Hellix]

So are they never bringing the black n3DS to NA?

 

[Sou Da]

So are they never bringing the black n3DS to NA?

Probably not. Most we can hope for is some Pokemon bundle.

 

[iBlue]

Gonna use this thread to ask a quick question

I am seeing that Bayonetta 2 is going for 30 on the eshop. Does that include the first one?

Nah, it's Bayonetta 2 by itself.

 

[Javier]

Time to finally get Lego City Undercover.

Transfer fun, feel like I'm being stupid here. Coworker wants to get the new N3DS bundle, already has SM3DL digitally. Has original 3DS (with SM3DL digitally) and will have N3DS (with new copy of SM3DL digital). Can he wind up with the game on BOTH systems after transferring the contents of his old system to his new system with just the pieces mentioned? If not, what will he need to end up in that state? He wants to put the game on the old system for his daughter!

 

[Metalmarc]

Europe when

 

[mjc]

So I'm assuming that the non-selects versions of these games will be set at the $20 point on August 26th?

If it's preinstalled as advertised and not a code, then he probably cannot do that unless he leaves everything else on the older model also.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread by another poster that these are technically different SKUs, so if they don't change the price point you can try to convince the store to sell it to you at the price. Logic should hopefully prevail.

You'd need a third temporary 3DS for that, I think?

Transfer old to temporary.
Transfer new to old.
Transfer temporary to new.

The good old variable shuffle. c=a; a=b; b=c;

EDIT: Of course, that means tracking down a blank slate 3DS/2DS he can borrow, and then perhaps waiting the time between profile transfers, if I remember correctly? He'd need to borrow the blank slate system for an extended period of time?

 

[Supermanisdead]

finally a cheap new 3ds without that garbage animal crossing bundle.

This would also work but I assumed you didn't have a dummy 3DS laying around.

 

[Falchion]

Wish Majora's Mask was included in the sale.

 

[Tjamato88]

If I get that 3DS bundle I need to get a charger right? Does the 3DS need a memory card?

 

[brickarts295]

Wind Waker and Lego shall be mine!!!
At this rate I only need Hyrule Warriros and I pretty much own all the worthwhile titles the Wii U had to offer.

 

[Vitacat]

Ok, even though we already own 3 N3dsXLs, my wife and I both want one of those smaller Mario N3dss. Much nicer deal than the crappy AC HHD bundle.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

I'm probably in for Luigi's Mansion, wish Yoshi's Wooly World was available for cheap without the amiibo bundle, though.

 

[Kyrios]

Finally can get Lego City Undercover for WiiU

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is soooo mine!


I was hoping Rune Factory 4 would make that list. All I can do is wait for it real soon.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I'm probably in for Luigi's Mansion, wish Yoshi's Wooly World was available for cheap without the amiibo bundle, though.

Wooly World is $30 at Best Buy, Target and Amazon Prime. Probably the new official price point.

There are no 3rd-party Nintendo Selects in North America.

 

[Vibed]

Damn now I'm clamouring for a reg n3DS

Since these are new SKUs i can get them for $16 with Amazon Prime, right?

Think I'll pick up Lego City, Luigi's Mansion, and Captain Toad. Possibly Tomodachi Life, what's the scoop on that one?

We can do that, but then I think the problem is moving the N3DS code to a regular 3DS. I think the transfers can't work in that direction, unless I'm mistaken.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Great price on that n3ds

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Srly? That blows!!! Thanks!

 

[TEJ]

Before I spend money on the new nintendo 3ds is this the xl version? Because I thought the regular new 3ds was japan only.

its the normal version. it was out in america a while ago but only in limited editions like the animal crossing and pokemon versions. this is the cheapest bundle yet

 

[Mariolee]

May finally jump into Wind Waker. That price is too good.

 

[Suplexer]

I start college so soon I can't fall for this trap but omg I want that N3DS so bad it hurts.

Thank you.

I bought the 2ds when it got a price drop but stopped using it because it gave me hand cramps very quickly. Is that a problem with the regular new 3ds?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

If I get that 3DS bundle I need to get a charger right? Does the 3DS need a memory card?

Games save to the cartridge and in any case pretty sure these come with at least 2gb sd cards.
