So now that this has been proven to not be an official price drop, the "wait till redesign" will still continue naturally
And just like with Apple products, no one actually interested in the products would go "waiting for a redesign" when there's none announced. Those spamming redesign redesign aren't interested in the first place.
Nailed it. It's about the games, and 3DS has them. Second analogue is not and will never be mandatory. Games that need it are generally much better off played on a home system anyway.
If the second analogue is mandatory then Nintendo would've bundled it with their games as they did with motion plus which I think means that the redesign won't include a second analogue.Nailed it.

Unless I'm mistaken, only one Nintendo game supports it (Kid Icarus), for an optional left handed mode. And it's a game by Sakurai, who is quite fixated with filling his games with content and supporting anything imaginable.If the second analogue is mandatory then Nintendo would've bundled it with their games as they did with motion plus which I think means that the redesign won't include a second analogue.
Since nobody else did here you go.I like that mock-up, but that reflection is IMPOSSIBLE. Please fix.
*sigh*
Can't GAF have even one 3DS thread without redesign comments?
I don't understand how can people whine about re-design? Nintendo is ahead of the curve, and is simply mirroring what Apple is doing - new iPad, iPhone roughly 12-18 months. Sure, it is not subsidized by mobile carriers, but it also doesn't cost 500USD/EUR without contract.
Think of 3DS as a commodity - buy it, use it, after 12-18 months trade it in when the inevitable promotion rolls out, get 50-75USD/EUR off for new design.
They need to lower the price more.
Here's where I piss off Nintendo-GAF:
I bought Super Mario Land 3d to go with it. But I bought it used. not a fingerprint, blemish, or scratch on the game case or the cart. Looks like it might have been a gutted copy. Nintendo didn't make a dime off me today and probably lost money if they are selling the 3ds at a loss with this sale.
Here's where I make Nintendo-GAF happy:
I bit on the deal and walked out of GameStop with a black 3ds.

Bad ass. Did you also preorder a VITA while you were at it?
Gonna wait and see if Sony is going to be forced to lower the price in the next 6 months.

Just curious, how much did you have to pay for 3D Land?
With my rewards card it was 31.99 plus tax
I don't see why.
I really don't see how a bigger screen would work in favour of 3DS. It already has worse PPI than pretty much any other portable device out there, and a larger screen would just exacerbate that problem.Bigger screens is a much better argument, but that won't happen in the near future. Something people want the most, will probably be the ace card for Nintendo and therefore released last (same with the XL) to improve sales and as an option to fight the competition.
Since nobody else did here you go.
If its not the main Sku, like the XL version, the one who gets the second analog do you still win?
up just taking things out of proportion, unless I'm thinking the wrong bet. stump made an open bet,saying that the redesign would be announced/released by some point, someone took the bet (just because) saying that it won't (during that specific time). And even stump said that if he "won" but turned out that past that date, nothing was announced/released he would pay back.
Cheeky move by Nintendo, clearly intended to affect the launch of the Vita. But I'm not sure if another $20 will make a huge difference when the disparity is already pretty big.

Hahaha..so many bets. Did anyone took that bet (3DS one)? And how much money?Wrong bet. That was my bet with Neuromancer about Rocksteady making a Ninja Turtles game (I bet against, he bet for). The terms for that were a little complicated because they involved betting that an announcement would not happen. The 3DS bet is set to whenever Nintendo announces the first redesign.
If more and more people start thinking like this, they're going to be forced to lower it. Or just give up a sale.
