One of the forum goers on Cheap Ass Gamer has heard word from a retail source that the regular Nintendo 3DS will be getting a price cut in two weeks, and will retail for $139.99 in North America. The same forum member also says that Nintendo will be releasing a Mario Kart 7 Nintendo 3DS XL bundle for $199.99, which will go on sale next week.
Thanks, Simply G
Seems real cause all the 3ds deals this holidays are coming whit games so people will not feal bad if they bought them wen beforfe the price drop
It’s entirely possible, they ditch all the regular 3DS, bloat their end of year numbers and the losses are on previous quarters, so it will look like it’s all profit
But if they just started making money on it… I don’t know if I trust this. Although the 3DS is weakest here in the states.
Weakest in Europe (as expected) Japan #1 , USA #2 , Europe #3 . In terms of 3DS popularity.
Well i live in the states but the sales are doing better than any other handheld on the market right now soooo… thats good.
So just comparing to the Vita? If you include other handheld devices like phones or tablets, it just gets creamed. Don’t think this is out of hate, I love the 3DS (I’m a proud owner), I’m just concerned since I barely get street passes (unless I’m at the Zelda concert or Disney World [FL]) and also news reported from Nintendo saying that the 3DS is super popular in Japan, but not so much outside of Japan.
that’s great, but we don’t want price drops( well we do want them), what we need/want are new colors or special editions for 3ds XL
Give me a White 3DS XL and I’ll go buy it right now. It can sit next to my Black 3DS and they can be handheld buddies. Actually, I’d probably give the Black one to a friend as to get some use out of it.
So finally in the range of the original DS launch price.
Which just shows you how ridiculous their early 3DS pricing was.
Ah yes, another person for whom inflation and currency exchange rates don’t exist–must be wonderful to live in your world! Hell, it’s not fair that it’s even that much since the original GameBoy retailed for far less than that! Woo!
Lol. Ok. Are you aware of what ‘in the range’ means?
LOL “Cheap Ass Gamer”
hey, it is a great site!
Remember this comes from Simply G. Take this news with a barrel full of salt.
You must be new to this site.
Still too expensive if you ask me.
And Nintendo, HOW LONG AM I GONNA HAVE TO WAIT TO GET A SPECIAL EDITION 3DS XL? I’m putting off buying any 3DS games until I get a 3DS XL special edition. I’m gonna get SOOOO backed up on games because of Nintendo moving so SLOW.
No, you are getting SOOOO backed up on games because of you being so CHEAP. $169 for a pprtable system with a strong library of games, plenty of packed-in features, and great 3D is an absolute steal.
@Platinum_Johnny
Being “cheap” has nothing to do with why I’m waiting to buy anymore games for the 3DS. It’s because I HATE that small screen on the regular 3DS, and it’s annoyed me ever since I first bought it.
Hey Aeolus, you can buy one now, and shut up your big mouth.
It can be priced at 100 dollars and still be to much for him
I’ve had one for more than a year, you stupid fuck.
so this means that you hate nintendo, but you still buy their stuff…
Well done little troll
LOL
My dick in your mouth, is what you have for more than a year.
Fail as a gamer and fail as a troll. lol
Also considering, I’m more than likely getting paid than your fatass does just sitting down and wasting your parents resources worshipping Nintendo, perhaps I should buy you one as well, kiddo.
[positions comma after also]*
The irony of your comment…

It’s going to be really hard to compete with the 3DS if they drop the price that low. I hope Nintendo isn’t giving away the Farm!
My 3DS still get’s play and carried around with me, but I admit, it’s tough competing for my time against my WiiU!
This^ (is what will happen to me!)
The original 3DS is so ugly :/
I’m glad I waited for my 3DS XL :D
The XL looks retarded and defeats the whole purpose of beign portable :l plus that matte looks cheap.
It’s still portable enough. If iPads can be carried around with no qualms about it, the 3DS XL can too.
Notebooks are much bigger than that and are still considered portable. Same with iPads. Oh, and the original Gameboy is still bigger and heavier than the 3DS XL.
That would be a bad move for nintendo.If they do this,they won’t be selling the 3ds at a gain.
if nintendo wanted to this would have made black friday
