In some rather startling news, Nintendo is ALREADY slashing the cost of the 3DS to about $170 bucks I believe. Or something around there. Pretty big price drop for a system that isn't a year old. Why is that? Because the regular DS outsold the 3DS since it's launch. OUCH. In good news for those of us who got it early, Nintendo is giving us 20 free download games from the upcoming NES and GBA virtual console. Cool I guess.
$170? THAT's worth it, and it's just the price drop I needed. I'm willing to spend that much money on it now.
2. By the end of 2011, Nintendo will provide Ambassadors with 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games. These include games like Yoshi's Island™: Super Mario™ Advance 3, Mario Kart™: Super Circuit, Metroid™ Fusion, WarioWare™, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and Mario vs. Donkey Kong™. These games will be available exclusively to Ambassadors, and Nintendo currently has no plans to make these 10 games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future.

But Metroid Fusion can't connect to Metroid Prime this way.
Nintendo's taking a loss on the 3DS now.

This confirms that 3DS flopped. If the price drop doesn't boost software sales, Nintendo will probably abandon it and be one step closer to going the way of Sega. This is Nintendo's Saturn.

the price was an error, yeah, it was expensive as intercourse ing poop. but i don't know what's wrong with the system. nintendo gave it a REALLY REALLY intercourse ing poopty launch and should've held off yeah, but that's not a problem with the system itself. i don't see where you're going, kid
also i like free games

Eh, with the price drop I'll get one soon. Maybe if I get accustomed to it after playing with it for a few days I'll think differently. I've just heard so many negatives about it.

Also, ten Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games are headed to the 3DS—games like Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

HOLY $?*%&#@!!!!!
TWENTY AMAZING FREE GAMES ARE COMING OUT TWO WEEKS FROM NOW?!?! AND PEOPLE I KNOW BESIDES ME MAY FINALLY BE WILLING TO PURCHASE THE 3DS?! I NOW DECLARE JULY 28TH TO BE CAPS LOCK DAY.
Nintendo better freaking profit on this; I mean, the 3DS costs $100 to make, so they should still make profit as long as people buy it.
Also, since the 3DS will be $180 with several good games by next year, Vita fanboys might not be so cavalier in trolling by then...
I don't think spending #250 is worth the 20 free games. I probably wouldn't use them much anyway since I still have a GBA and a NES and stuff that work perfectly fine.
Some people are great at math. 3DS costs just over 100 dollars to produce, that is the individual price for the parts. In bulk they would get a discount, I would assume.
LETS DO MATH
100 dollars to make
selling for 170 dollars
170-100=70
Nintendo gets 70 dollars that can go towards making back R&D, marketing, etc. From every 3DS. I don't get how that equals selling at a loss.
[spoiler]I'm probably getting one now, it should have launched at 200 or this, 250 was stupid (especially with no bundled game)
In addition to the free games, two release dates...sort of.
Super Mario 3D Land is November and Mario Kart 7 for December. Very weak names in my opinion. I don't mind Super Mario 3D land as much as it adds the 3 and 3D of 3DS to the Land series from the original game boy game since they ended at 2. (Yes, I know Wario Land was technically called Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land, but that really shouldn't count). Mario Kart 7 though... what? That sounds weak....especially considering there was no "Mario Kart 2" as far as numbers go. It's just confusing...
I blame Retro Studios. They have odd names for their games.
I love the 3DS.
This is not Nintendo's Saturn. You faggots are blowing this completely out of proportion.
Again, the only issues with this handheld were software and price, and one of those issues is now remedied. There were myriads of other problems with the Saturn, including software.
At the Play N Trade I work we're already getting customers asking about the price drop. We had somewhere around 20 something people on day 1 of this news getting out, asking about it. This is something Nintendo should have done at launch, but oh well, they'll learn from their mistakes. Hopefully Capcom gets wind of this.
What ever happened to "Mario Kart 3DS"? Guess not? Then again it's one character off from MKDS, so I get it. Less confusion this way.

Did you ever consider maybe, just maybe, that report, which assumed that Nintendo uses all of the cheapest parts they can find, doesn't take the retail cut into account, and even lists it as having 64MB of RAM when we know it has 128MB, might be inaccurate?
So, time for wish lists: which 5 missing NES and GBA games are you guys hoping to get?
For NES, I want:
Kid Icarus (highly likely)
Metroid
Tetris
Punch-Out
Mega Man (not likely given the last couple months, but hey, I want it)
As for GBA, my list is longer, so I'll just list them all:
Advance Wars
Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Fire Emblem (either one)
Golden Sun
Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga
Super Mario World (can't remember which Advance that is)
a Pokemon version (I know, fairly unlikely)
Donkey Kong Country
Minish Cap all the way.
I don't see what the big deal is with the free games.
You get to play games you played years ago with a 3D foreground.
But now I'm only $20 away from getting a 3DS, so intercourse yeah. （ ≖‿≖）

False: none of these 20 games will be 3D. Also, I never owned a NES and had probably 5 good GBA games ever (didn't get big into portable until DS), none of which have been confirmed so far. I'm basically getting $100 of brand new games out of this, except for Super Mario Bros (I had the GBC version) and The Legend of Zelda (I have the Gamecube Collector disc). Plus, it's all portable, and the NES games are [eventually] going to get multiplayer upgrades, which is cool.

Why would you play the GBA port of DKC
They just changed a few things and took a poop on the graphics/music.
By the way, Iwata is taking responsibility for overpricing the 3DS by taking a 50% pay cut. Most humble exec ever, and part of the reason I have more respect for Nintendo than MS and Sony. (And Sony will try to brag about being the cause of the price cut, when in reality they know they just got played like a violin. I mean, they crippled the Vita by cutting the RAM in half and removing the internal storage just so they could match the 3DS's price without selling at a significant loss, and this happens. I would not blame them for being mad.)

It does have a backlight, and an internal battery. It can't use regular link cables without an adapter, and good luck finding the micro specific ones. But it does have an actual headphone port unlike the SP. (never did like the SP)

Sonic Colors was a well-reviewed game that sold 2.18 million copies in the first two months. Also, saying that only the people who bought it are the fans is redundant; it's like saying, "The only Zelda fans are the ones that played Ocarina of Time," or, "The only Star Wars fans are the ones who saw The Empire Strikes Back."
And I assure you, despite having 2 bad main-series games and several bad spin-offs, Sonic as a franchise still has a large and very loyal fanbase. There's a reason the comic book series has been running since 1993.

Rumored list of games from a supposed leak:
NES (First set)
Super Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Super Mario Bros. 2
Kid Icarus
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Kirby's Adventure
GBA (Second set)
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Metroid Fusion
WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Pokemon Emerald
The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Kirby And The Amazing Mirror
Mario Pinball Land
WarioWare Twisted (Up To Date 3DS Motion Controls)
It seems kind of unlikely to me that we'd get two Wariowares, and Emerald is a bit out there as well, but still, I definitely wouldn't mind if these ended being our games.

And yet, Nintendo still hasn't told us WHAT games we're getting...
It's a surprise.

I hate how Nintendo acts like the people who have it already are the only "true" fans. I dunno why, it just kind of seems like they're trying to make everyone else feel bad for not buying the system already. Like
"You poop holes, we made this $170 system but charged $250 for it. You were supposed to buy it ANYWAY, since you're supposed to follow Nintendo like sheep. Well, all the GOOD people who bought it get free games now. How do you like that, poop holes?"
STFU Nintendo. I wasn't going to pay $250 for a handheld that didn't have games. Maybe if you waited to drop the price, like maybe when there were MORE games out for it, I would even pay the $250. But no, you dropped it before we even had a reason to buy the system other than OoT.
It's clear they're frustrated and trying to spite the people who didn't jump to buy the system for $250. Yeah, I would have paid that much if I had more games to play on it. But otherwise it's just a tad outrageous.

The only thing that's outrageous here is how outrageously butthurt you are. You seem pretty intercourse ing upset that you aren't getting free poop and you're demonizing a company that's only attempting to please early purchasers so they don't get as irritated over the price drop. It has nothing to do with us early purchasers being "true" fans(lol as if buying one early instantly made me a bigger Nintendo fan than you) in Nintendo's eyes nor is Nintendo trying to spite anyone.
EDIT:
Also, why the intercourse do you care about free NES/GBA games when you can get them for free online to begin with? Chill out and be happy you get to buy a 3DS for way cheaper than I did, and in a time where the library wasn't poop. If anything, you guys that are waiting were right to wait.

I uh... what? If I wasn't clear, I don't give a darn that I'm not getting free poop anyway. I never said buying one early made you a "true" fan, it's just the message it sounds like Nintendo is trying to convey with the "ambassador" program.
And just to get this through your head: If I got free NES games, I probably wouldn't play them anyway. I don't want them. I don't need them. I have a NES. I have the internet. I honestly don't care one bit about not getting to play NES games on a 3DS. I'd really rather pay $80 less than get free games. I think waiting was the right choice, really. Being able to play NES games on there for free is cool, but not quite worth $80.

Or make us feel worse. I seriously think Nintendo is going out of their way to tell all the smart people who waited something like "You couldn't have disappointed us any more."
Like, really. It's a handful of games. Who gives a poop? I just don't want to see any of my friends who are doing this rubbing it in mine or anyone's face. You spent an extra $80+tax on a few games, most or all of which you'll forget about and stop playing in a few weeks.

That's just silly. If you don't care about the games and you understand why Nintendo had to do this, I don't see what there is to complain about.
kayo, u mad?
I'm a true fan
you're just a POSER
Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
Balloon Fight
Ice Climber
Donkey Kong Jr.
Metroid
Yoshi
NES Open Tournament Golf
Wrecking Crew
The Adventure of Link
I know I shouldn't complain about free stuff, but this second half is pretty disappointing (besides Metroid). No Kirby? No Dr. Mario? No KID ICARUS? LAME; who the heck gives a crap about NES Golf and Wrecking Crew?
Personally, I don't like Kid Icarus. We can still hope for those ones to be released. Remember, these aren't the only NES games they're releasing.

That is not the message they're trying to convey. You thinking that this is what they're trying to accomplish with this promotion is what heavily implies that you're upset over not getting free poop, as I can't think of any other reason why you'd be complaining about something like this. You tried to call Nintendo out on spiting their own customers man, that doesn't even make sense.
It's good that you're waiting, I already said that its good. All I'm trying to get you to understand, is that Nintendo isn't trying to make you feel ashamed for waiting and they aren't trying to spite anyone. They're just trying to cover they're asses, lol. That's really all there is to it.
Basically Kayo, you're really over analyzing poop man. Chill brah.
Super Mario Bros. - Played a million times
The Legend of Zelda - played a million times
Balloon Fight - isn't a good game, kinda lame.
Ice Climber - is alright
Donkey Kong Jr. - is ok, I guess
Metroid - I'd rather play Zero Mission thanks....
Yoshi - why?
NES Open Tournament Golf - Blech, a sports game...of GOLF.
Wrecking Crew - Meh
The Adventure of Link - *in CD-i voice* Oh boy! The worst Nintendo made Zelda game!
Yeah... not to excited about the NES games coming. The lineup could've been way better. Hope the GBA line-up has a better second half than the NES group.
I really need to play Adventures of Link again. I don't think I gave it a fair chance before, but then again, I already own it.
Why they chose Yoshi, the most obscure Nintendo puzzle game ever to be released in America, I have no idea. Why not Dr. Mario, or even the slightly more well known and much more fun Yoshi's Cookie? Yoshi isn't Nintendo's greatest.
All of the black box games are cool, especially Balloon Fight.

Because Yoshi. That's it, really. They assume people will download it just for the character, I guess, and they won't have to worry about losing sales on the game that not a ton of people would buy. It's padding around the bigger titles that most people already own in several forms.
Nayr ninnyes about everything.
Anyway, all of the games announced are games that I see myself playing the poop out of, even golf. I know I could get and emulator and roms to play these, but I have a hard time getting into games that I didn't obtain "officially" for some reason. I think it'll be nice to play Mario on the go, anyway.

the games are out
time to play zelda ii
I downloaded them all. Maybe I'll finish Zelda II for real this time (got it for the Wii's Virtual Console too).
Nintendo didn't add save files to Mario and Metroid?! I know it keeps the authenticity (and saves time and money for Nintendo), but I HATE password systems.
As for the games I've never played before (my Nintendo life started with N64 and never looked back):
Ice Climber - meh
Yoshi - simple, fun, and addicting, though it's no Tetris
Balloon Fight - way more fun than I imagined it would be; can't wait for multiplayer
Wrecking Crew - meh
NES Open - haven't really tried anything

Isn't there a suspend feature?
Password systems? LOL.
Glad I have my Gameboy.
lol passwords. Justin Bailey to the rescue!
Geh, still wish the line-up was a bit better though. *waits for Star Fox and GBA games*
Then again you could look up game-end passwords online if you wanted to be a loser.
I'd rather save than suspend the game somewhere. I remember I didn't save my Link's Awakening DX file and just suspended it. I'm afraid to learn what would happen if the file got deleted by accident or something...
I love Balloon Fight.
I don't know what everyone's all excited about. The games look like poop on the 3DS. A friend of mine showed me Yoshi, The Legend of Zelda, and NES Open. They look horrendous. Way to small to even see anything.

Nintendo's abandoning the 3D Classics line because it's more difficult than they thought it would be. There will only be six total, and I think four have already released.

Only the NES games that originally had passwords have passwords, like Metroid. We were simply a tad upset because Nintendo didn't change this and add save files.

Ohhh, okay. I get it. Alright that's not so bad, it's just a more exact port. Yeah I doubt they'd dig back into an old game to throw a save file in there. Seems more likely that they'd just port it as-is.
Anyway, I think Pokemon on VC would be possible. You couldn't trade up to your DS games or anything, but we already know multiplayer can work in the VC due to the announcement that the NES games will be getting it later this year. Heck, I'd have enough fun just playing it by myself; Kanto rocks.

Not really. If you had say, Pokemon Ruby on the 3DS, you wouldn't be able to connect with Pokemon RSEFRLG on a GBA or anything like that. If they made it so it could only connect with other 3rd gen games on the 3DS (not necessarily 3rd gen, remember) then that would be silly, especially since it's very likely that there will be a remake of R/S.
What I'm trying to say is, if they DID input the trading, then not only do they have to break into the game and make it compatible with 3DS local wireless, but it makes a whole new sort of half-gen of Pokemon games; i.e. a group of games that can easily connect with each other and not others. Multiplayer on a Pokemon game has always been more complex than multiplayer on say, NES games. Because of how complex the games work and how certain mechanics would have to bend to fit the 3DS (remember the realtime clocks?) it would take a bit of work for Nintendo to fix them to 3DS compatibility, and I doubt they'd do that.
Who said anything about Ruby? Nintendo currently has no plans to release GBA games onto the VC outside of the 10 exclusive to Ambassadors; I'm just talking about Red and Blue, or just Yellow by itself. And they don't need to be able to connect to any DS or 3DS games; they'd be a self-contained release (just like the original games, actually, seeing as how there was no GBC-GBA connection). VC games are never meant to be anything besides nostalgic, anyway, completely separated from modern games; Pokemon doesn't need to be an exception just because it's Pokemon.
They'd have to make it so the games use wireless trading/battling instead of link cables (possibly raising the price a buck?), but other than that it's not terribly complicated.

Alright we'll just leave X Pokemon impossible to obtain by any means. Also who would even give a intercourse about playing Pokemon RBY on a 3DS? The nostalgia value is better on any older system, in my opinion. Not like that affects anything, but I just have to argue with you because your argument posts are often extremely stupid and I feel like I have to make an equally stupid post just to be sure you're on the same page I am.
Also you clearly didn't read my post at all. You saw "Pokemon Ruby" and were so quick to try and call me out on that. I was using Pokemon Ruby as an example and never once said it would be a game that would come out on VC. Plus, they probably WILL make GBA games on the VC available to non-Ambassadors eventually unless they're even dumber than I thought, but that's a point for another day.
Making everything wireless is more complicated than you think. Any big internal edit to the game like that is tons more work than just porting it. They definitely would NOT do that with Pokemon Red/Blue. A self-contained release? Maybe. Maybe Nintendo has just enough gall to actually do that. But I highly doubt it.

What are you 12 just say FUCKER there are no internet nazis watching over everything you type to make sure you don't type a swear word. If you're really concerned about typing out language on the internet, I'd like to point out that you just clearly typed out the entire word "FUCK". K thanks.

Your F followed immediately by a U, a C, and finally a K without interruption seems unlike you, then. But typing "FUCK*R but if you take that asterisk out and put an E there" seems over the top for someone even as cautious as you. I really don't see why you don't just type FUCKER and get it over with. No one's going to judge you.
Also I'd like to say something about that whole resolution thing. Obviously NES games look worse on a handheld because the exact game was intended to be played on a full-size TV and they crammed it into a what, 4-inch screen? It only looks "bad" because it's shrunk so much and you're not used to it. Especially when you're used to staring at a big TV while playing a NES game and now looking down into your hands is quite the difference. I'm sure the resolution is as good as it can be.

Calm down, I'm not insulting your girlfriend, I'm just saying it could be done. As for X Pokemon not being obtainable, I guess that would be a problem with Yellow, but releasing Red/Blue instead could work.
Actually I'd like to point out that they look better than ever on the 3DS. The pixels are far more vibrant than the pixels old tvs can output and you don't have the "wtf" blur of an HD screen that you get from trying to play old games on a new television.
So, am I the only one here with perfect vision or what?
Kayo, making VC games have multiplayer on 3DS isn't much of a challenge at all, especially for GB/C/A games which are already designed for play on multiple systems. In fact, Nintendo could add online with a few tricks and it wouldn't take a ton of effort or money. (Though, they obviously won't do that.) Nintendo knows they'd make quite a bit of money putting the first- and second-gen games on VC, and the minor adjustments they'd have to make to the emulator would be more than worth it.

Actually I'd like to point out that they look better than ever on the 3DS. The pixels are far more vibrant than the pixels old tvs can output and you don't have the "wtf" blur of an HD screen that you get from trying to play old games on a new television.
So, am I the only one here with perfect vision or what?
I wasn't sure if I could really judge since I never owned an NES, but I DID own Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on GBC, and I definitely noticed that the 3DS version of SMB looks prettier. I honestly didn't have a problem with any of the games visuals, for that matter, and if they really are as awful as people say, I must have missed some absolutely beautiful television images back in the 80s.

Calm down, I'm not insulting your girlfriend, I'm just saying it could be done. As for X Pokemon not being obtainable, I guess that would be a problem with Yellow, but releasing Red/Blue instead could work.
The hell you completely missed what I said yet again. There are still Pokemon that you can't get in Red, and Pokemon you can't get in Blue. Without trading you still wouldn't ever be able to-- Ah forget it this point is stupid and you wouldn't understand me anyway I'll just move down the line here.

Excellent. I'll have to see it for myself before I can offer a firsthand opinion though.

Kayo, making VC games have multiplayer on 3DS isn't much of a challenge at all, especially for GB/C/A games which are already designed for play on multiple systems. In fact, Nintendo could add online with a few tricks and it wouldn't take a ton of effort or money. (Though, they obviously won't do that.) Nintendo knows they'd make quite a bit of money putting the first- and second-gen games on VC, and the minor adjustments they'd have to make to the emulator would be more than worth it.
That bolded line is what I've been saying. I know what they COULD do with effort. I'm just saying they're not going to. I highly doubt they'd really go through any of the trouble to change up the games. They know that they'd make just as much money with or without fancy new features. Because as Neerb so bluntly said people would apparently buy them anyway for their pure nostalgia value. Got an argument against that? Talk it up with Neerb, because that's not my alley.
When I said Red/Blue would work, I was implying "if you could trade between them," although I'm sure of people would still pay for them if they couldn't trade (just not as many).
And I'm pretty sure Hero's line "they obviously won't do that" was just referring to the sentence it was in; that is, Nintendo wouldn't add Wi-fi to the games.

I know what hero meant, I'm just saying that it can be applied to everything I've said. If you read my post you would have gotten that.
Also your first statement contradicts what you said in the past slightly so I'm not quite sure how you truly feel about it.

My vision sucks and I still think that the NES games look perfectly acceptable.
Also, Kayo, you are arguing pointlessly.

No, I mean they wouldn't add online. They're already going to add local multi to the NES games, and doing that is harder than doing it for Game Boy games. All it really takes is a few coding tricks with the emulator. There's barely any actual effort at all. It all comes down to money, and they'd definitely earn a lot more money by putting the games on VC and using the emulator to "emulate" a link cable.

But Neerb, knowing everything in the world, said people will buy them anyway. What is this madness?
But it doesn't matter how much or how little effort it takes, it's just whether it's worth it. I do think it would be odd to make them tradeable with only each other because, like I said, it's like having a new mini-generation of Pokemon. It would be like Red/Blue that can't link up with Gold/Silver or whatever it is. I'll just wait for the Pokemon remakes, because if there's anything new and exciting coming in the Pokemon world it's more likely to be the heavily speculated Ruby and Sapphire remakes than a new network of 1st or 2nd gen games on the VC.
That being said, I wouldn't pay more than $5 for them even if they were on the VC. I'm the kind of person who would much rather have a physical copy of a Pokemon game than a virtual copy.
Fuck carrying carts around all the time.
Having a hacked psp since 2006 has taught me that its fantastic to have 1000 games at your disposal.

How many of those 1000 do you play per day, honestly?

I approve the first half of your post.
But I highly disapprove of the second half.

I couldn't really give you an estimate. I'm not the type of person that'll boot up one game, get bored quickly, and move onto another. It's just whatever I'm feeling atm.

I see what you mean, and I see what's nice about having so many games in one system. Believe me, I do. I just like collecting physical games, I guess.
