Satoru Iwata confirmed that Nintendo will not be selling the upcoming Nintendo 3DS XL at a loss. Nintendo intends to sell the 3DS XL for profit but, according to Iwata, the profit margin will not be huge. The 3DS XL will be sold for a suggested retail price of $199.99 in North America, but retailers will decide its price in Europe.
I would hope they make money. Without money, we get no Mario XD
And no Zelda!
And no Kirby!
And no Metroid
And no Star Fox.
Well we havent gotten Star Fox in a while…I am expecting it for Wii U though!
C-C-C-Combo Breaker!
And No Combo Breakers on this topic!
And no Pikmin
WHERE’S THE LOVE FOR F-ZERO >=(
And no pokemon
and no animal crossing….what i love that series.
and no smash!!
AND LETS NOT 4GET :Noooo!!!!
Nintendo aka Sorry
And no Earthboun
Please we aren’t getting Earthbound if Ninty was the richest company in the world
And no… Ice Climbers?
And no Fire Emblem
Of course, Nintendo has always been money hungry.
Vita memory card would like a word.
THIS^ I hated having to shell out extra cash for the memory card. I’m not stingy, but still. Nintendo included one in theirs, and it’s a fair amount for Vita memory card. It’s just because Sony is starting to lose money, so they’re being ‘creative’ to make more. ._.
till this day i dont understand why can Wii use SD cards?
For Hombrew Channel =P… and Pics for the “Photo Channel”
To store extra download games
If you can’t afford memory cards, get a cheaper hobby. Bottle cap collecting maybe?
Oh, i lol’ed
They’re not as money hungry in comparison to Sony, Microsoft, and Apple. MS and Apple being the WORST. But the 3DS XL…c’mon, Nintendo. We could’ve waited a few more months. The 3DS didn’t really need another iteration at the moment.
^Not true, we shouldve expected an XL for the 3DS so this isnt a surprise for me. I’ve already own a 3DS and I’m looking into upgrading to the XL when it comes out and yes I have money save up to spend..
If you’re asking why own two 3DS, like my DSlite XL, I play it at home while taking my original 3DS on the go when I go to work..
This is the exact reason I am purchasing one
I welcome the xl honestly because the whole time I’ve had the 3ds playing games like mk, sm3dl or oot I’ve been saying man this would look much better on a bigger screen…so I’ll be getting it.
For reals right, I’m interesting to find out how much the bigger screen’s effect on the 3d as well…
They are a company, like Sony, so they will always want money.
^What is a Sony? going to do about it?
Probably shit themselves and run away.
Well, thats kinda obvious…Every game company are money hungry :P
You’re saying Nintendo is greedy for making ANY money? You don’t deserve Nintendo, sir.
Specialy CAPCOM….
Why are retailers deceiding the price in Europe?
Because they BUY the stock from Nintendo to sell to us.
Once retailers have bought the stock, they own it and can charge whatever the hell they want for it.
Who is keeping their 3DS? Hopefully It’s not just me, got the beautiful Ice White one too!
damn I wanted the white one as well, if my memory serves me correct, the white one only came out for Europe right?
yup.. same here… i didn’t buy it too… to wait for that colour… U___u… and for the XL we will not have the Black, silver and white either. (here in america… ) we want that colours too!! ;___;
GO AND FUCK A COW
YOU STUPID HOMELESS
best troll skills ever
i give you 11/10 for that
I wanted it, but you can only get it with 3D Land, which I already had. I’m still hoping we get that amazing white Monster Hunter Tri G one, but I highly doubt it.
That’s great. I just wish they’d stop fobbing off Europeans with that “retailers set the price” stuff
+1. If they say RRP £179.99 too, then what’s the point, everyone just copies each other.
Thankfully I don’t think many people are pre-ordering it in the UK, which means retailers have been *slowly* dropping the price. A few retailers are selling it at £165 now. I hope they reduce the price further though, I can’t quite afford that!
3D land would took me about 24 hours in total to beat in its entirety (completing secert levels and objectives). Also its extremely fun. Mario Kart is fun as well, has online, plus high replay value. I would get both but get Mario Kart first.
Very serious!! I alawys say that I went into hiding 2 years ago and have no intention of being found .with a cell phone that is . I enjoy my privacy too much and I didn’t have any with that thing. Now, I just get 70 emails a day, but they don’t vibrate or make any noise and I don’t feel the pressure to hurry a response.
I think it depends on the cerogaty of game. Like, how Skyrim got a lower score than 3D land not because 3D land is a better game per se, but it, as a platformer, was more than Skyrim was an RPG. I think it just depends on the type of game and it’s being rated on how the game is in it’s cerogaty.

Actually, he’s just not first.
the 3dsxl is cheaper to manufacture than the original 3ds because it has the same specs. Bigger parts = less cost even the screen smaller pixels are harder to make than bigger ones
FUCK YOU BASTARD
:) pete thats not what your mother sed last nite xd .. im awaiting 3dsxl’s launch in august i bot it from gstop along w/lmansion2,pmsstar, im stoked! oh! me and my lover are gonna have alot of fun!!
I have read all of your Clearwater books and really enjoy the mis-adventures of Joe & Mia. I agree with Cynthia Brooks hionpg your are writing fast and will make it available soon . Please let us (my wife Denise ) when the next one is available.
yeah i like default colorwise, it dos’nt bother me. i’d appreciate midnight purple roo-haa!
U R MR.GAY
I can’t stand it when idiots say “Nintendo is just out to make loads of money and their products are way too overprices” of course they’re out to make money, isn’t that the whole goal of owning a company? Also the over-priced thing I think that Nintendo’s products are very reasonable for the quality they are.
well comparing the 3ds to the vita, 3ds was a little expensive given what both system can do, dont get me wrong I bought both at launch. 3ds just has more stuff that came with it that is worth the price I bought it at, while the vita came in short even with its bundle which wasnt worth the purchase..
same.. we need some exciting news especially if we’re going 2 pursue eachother i mean, u dunt have 2 prove anything to these ppl.. ugh! for f***’s sake, this is the comment section of a informational website not sum desolate discussion on a flipping blog..

Good on Nintendo, now use that money and make some more quality games…
will trade in mine for the xl cause of the bigger screens. after that I’m not getting any more revisions unless it’s worlds better than the xl.
I wonder when Nintendo will profit off the 3DS. The 3DS is still at a loss for them, but it’s stopping. But, that doesn’t mean they will quickly get a profit off the 3DS XL. Not just yet.
I already have a regular 3DS, so i wont be buying an XL.
Just dont see the point of buying the same console twice when i could be using that money to buy games.
SO THE 3DS AT FIRST CODT $250 AND THIS COST 200? YEAH THATS NOT A LOST. ALSO THAT MEANS YA OVERPRICE GARBAGE TO TEST THE WATERS OF HOW STUPID YOUR DIAPER FANS WOULD BE…GUESS NINTY WAS KINDA WRONG.
Why dont you stop shouting?
Thats better, now fuck off back to Sony land.
Hey, dumbass, the 3DS XL costs less than the 3DS.
SUCK MY COCK you FUCKING BASTARD
get a life u immature low self esteem child in a mans body
Nintendo Fanboys when Talking about Nintendo making money: Of course they’re all about money, they’re a company.
Nintendo Fanboys talking about Sony or Microsoft: OMG $ONY and MICRO$OFT ARE HERE TO MAKE MONEY. HOW TERRIBLE
Fucking Hypocrites
That isnt a bad price for 3DS XL at all!
3DS USE TO COST $250 & 3DSXL COST $200 THUS ANYBODY WITH A BRAIN CAN CLEARLY SEE NINTY TRIED TO OVERPRICE TO STEAL MONEY CUZ THEY GREEDY BUT EVEN THEY WERE SURPRISE THAT FANTARDEDS WOULDNT BUY NINTY PRICED HIGH!!!! NINTY COWARD.LYING AND CROOKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Either your Caps Lock is broken or you are too dumb to switch it off.
IM NOT BUYING SHITENDO THINGS HAHHAHA WII SEE HOW EASY IT IS FOR CROOKTENDO TO CAVE IN. FACT IS THEY OVERPRICE TO SEE IF WE BUY IT IF NOT THEY REDUCE AT ACTUAL PRICE=3DS. LOST MY ASS. IM NOT BUYING TILL YA REDUCE THIS GARBAGE HAHA NINTY SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BASTARD
The stupidity is strong with this one.
I seriously hope he’s joking

i feel srry for U, not even a charger? i must admit thts unfortunate get a dsi trust me.. better value than the psvita cuz i have them..
I really wanted this before it was announced but. No CPP, no western monster hunter 3G and Euro/Uk retailers raping their customers are mega deal breakers for me :(
Will not be getting unless Monster hunter 3G or 4G comes to west. I wont hold my breath though, as I know those Hitler supporting sneaky Jap FUCKS hate us and love it xD
