Nothing new? Really? Come on man, the hyperbole isn't needed.

You feel sorry for people who are exclusively getting 20 games for free? Okay then...FantasticMrFoxdie said:WOW.
Feel sorry for the early adopters. lol.
Good for me though.

As a very pedantic person, I find myself compelled to mention that the 3DS does have games.MegaKungFuRadio said:That until the 3DS actually has games, it's worth negative dollars because I don't need another piece of clutter in my life until then.

Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Paper Mario, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, Professor Layton VS. Ace Attorney Now I obviously can't comment on what will interest you, but from a market standpoint some of these are a big deal.thorsilver said:Er... what are those releases exactly?

About how much money do the 20 games amount to? Is it worth it to buy a 3DS before the price drop to get all the free games?BY2K said:Hey, I'll gladly take those 20 free games.
GeekyDad said:Obviously there were a lot of GAF members taken hostage and forced to buy 3DSes at the current price. The world truly is a cruel place...

You shouldn't. I bought 3 of them at launch and I'm getting 20 great free games on each.FantasticMrFoxdie said:WOW.

Ok, I'll ask: why three?Brazil said:You shouldn't. I bought 3 of them at launch and I'm getting 20 great free games on each.
I'm jumping in joy.

If you keep reading those "Apple taking over handheld gaming market space" articles long enough it will bust your brain.LovingSteam said:Nothing new? Really? Come on man, the hyperbole isn't needed.

A system will never be worth its price to a person with no interest in it.LovingSteam said:What did the N64 offer new over the SNES? What did the SNES offer over the NES? What did the PSP offer over the Nintendo DS? What is the Vita offering over the iPhone if you want to go there? Fact is you're arguing that a brand new product with improved hardware, better online, 3D, etc. should be priced LOWER than its predecessor did.

Anth0ny said:Minish Cap goes for ~$30. Just bought Metroid Fusion for $20. Also Super Mario Advance 3 for $20.
That's $70 for 3 games those three games. I now get 17 more games for free. I'll take it.

Agreed. It's completely ridiculous that Steel Diver launched at $40. Nintendo and third parties are going to have to swallow their pride to survive in the current marketplace.Allan Holdsworth said:Now ports/low budget games (Steel Diver, Pilotwings, Nintendogs, Zelda, Starfox, Animal Crossing) need to be $30, while the higher profile stuff (Mario Land, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario) can stay at $40.
One for me, one for my little brother, and one for my little sister.chubigans said:Ok, I'll ask: why three?
Also this.sillymonkey321 said:To get the 3 dimensional effect you need 3 systems.
Hehe.LovingSteam said:I also like how people who are using the price of say the iPhone against the 3DS ignore that the hardware is much more expensive than $99-300 (depending on your version). If you want Nintendo to require a contract to use the 3DS than I am sure you too can pay $99 or lower for it.
Aw, that's nice.Brazil said:One for me, one for my little brother, and one for my little sister.
I'm a good big bro.
It's fucked up in Euros, too. $169 = 118, not 169. > 50 difference is just vulgar.Replicant said:$169 US =! $250 AUD.
Thx for the price gouging. No sale!

Anth0ny said:Looking at ebay.ca, Minish Cap goes for about $30. Mario Advance 3 is like $15-$20, and Metroid Fusion is $15-$20. Not complete.

I mean the person I was responding too, also lol

DR2K said:All of what you mentioned didn't receive massive price slashes within 5 months. For the year of 2011 the 3Ds is not offering enough to stay competitive.
Clearly a lot of people lol.Amir0x said:With this magnitude of free shit, who can really care?
LovingSteam said:And? Your argument was the price itself should be LOWER than the NDS debuted at because it doesn't offer anything new. Fact is it offers more new features to the NDS than the N64 did to the SNES, the PSP to the NDS, and the SNES to the NES. Do you not realize how ridiculous it is that you're arguing that the 3DS should be priced LOWER than its predecessor debuted at? Really?
x-Lundz-x said:True, but in today's society you need a phone. That is why it has an advantage over handhelds. You can try and spin it all you want, the dedicated handheld market is falling off a cliff and will hit the bottom soon.
MegaKungFuRadio said:Consider this a lesson: Don't buy personal electronics based on potential. Prices don't go up. Your shit isn't going to appreciate in value. These products aren't rare or hard to find within months of release if ever (Two year long Wii hype bullshit aside). Learn some patience and self control. That means don't even buy a 3DS now just because the price dropped to $170, since really, what is there to play? Ocarina 3D? You really can't wait until an actual new release to play a 15 year old game?
