I'm so glad it went down to $169.99, haha. Now I'll for sure be buying one before I head back to school. XD
|
What. What. What. What.
I spend $250 on a system that is $90 cheaper afterwards. Well, at least I get exclusives. |
I bought this for $250 but it's my money and it was my decision to be so impatient... But 20 games are worth it IMO, especially if 10 of those games are exclusive to "ambassadors."
|
This seems pretty good. I feel as if this is a sort of replacement for having to pay $249.99 USD for a 3DS, and the extra $80 that we had to spend will be replaced by tese games. I just really hope that Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire will be available, but I really wouldn't mind trying a free game. Also, Super Mario Advance 3 is particularly exciting to me. When I first got my GBA, I got this game, so I would love to play it again, especially since it was one of my first video games.
|
Uh oh.
Though if the prices drop to $170 then I don't see 3DS sales struggling. |
I'm pretty sure that there's a turnabout brewing for the 3DS. Especially when its price is now... well, lower than the cheapest PSP that you can get in Japan...
With the heavy hitters coming out, and Vita still not being out, I have a feeling that the 3DS, with the price drop, might finally reach its target. |
I think that $170 may have been a mite too low, I'd personally say 180 is perfect even as a desperation maneuver. As for the Ambassador program, what do y'all think of that? 20 free eShop games, 10 NES and 10 apparently-exclusive GBA games. I think that it's suitable compensation (well, so long as you ignore caveat emptor).

There were how many Pokemon GBA games? 5. I'm obviously probably dead wrong, but the thought makes me happy. Now give me my Boktai and GBA Earthbounds and I'll be on my way. |

I didn't think for one second that Nintendo would have done anything except port the games since they are giving them away for free. |

Also, is it possible to stop upscaling of VC games? |
I'm hoping for multiplayer as there's Mario Kart in the list too. NES games were already confirmed that they'll have multiplayer when they get available to everyone but what I've seen there's no mention o multiplayer GBA games.
|
I'd rather have free 3DSware titles instead of NES and GBA games I already have, but whatever. I'll take what I can get. It's free.
|
Ok so I got something about Nintendo Video.
Why cant you view previous videos? Do you think this is a bad idea? |
Quote:
Everything they offer is in an RSS feed-like setup. If it's old, good luck ever finding it in the case of WiiWare, etc. And with Nintendo Video, new videos replace the old ones completely. Not that I have any desire to watch that one short of "Dinosaur Office" repeatedly and forever, but it just shows Nintendo's... attitude |
I think the mentality is that Nintendo Video is basically providing elongated 3D commercials. There may a few exceptions, but after the first pass, that's what it feels like (bar, perhaps, the OK GO video). I suppose you could conceivably store the files for the video on the computer or something, and the 4-at-a-time thing keeps your memory card reasonable. But so far it just feels like advertising. Maybe I won't mind that when they show trailers for a game I'm excited about.

People who own a 3DS most likely own or have played the games that Nintendo is offering, hence why we got a 3DS, but oh well, hopefully there's at least 2 or 3 games that I haven't played.
|
I think I'm going to sell mine and then rebuy it when there is a suitable level of games available.
Chances are the price will drop a fair bit by then anyway. :D |

New theory: Nintendo should have "channels" for Nintendo Video. You select up to 4, like College Humor/Nintendo News/Music Videos/Whatever Else out of a longer list, and it downloads the current videos for the those channels, basically providing more variety and customization. People like variety and customization. Quoth a little post on nintendo3dsblog, the Ambassadors are currently set to receive their complimentary games with an unfinished interface. No suspending the game with Home, no save states, no sleep mode, no multiplayer, wireless or otherwise (and this, unlike the others, says "not supported", giving the vibe that they aren't even gonna end up fixing this).

I was under the impression that they would later update the games (the NES ones anyway) and could then update for free too when they do so, or so I recall from the initial announcements anyway. But what's the source on it being like that?

So is there anything too this? Cause if Emerald is really one of the titles I will **** bricks. |
No - it's just vague rumours with no evidence and Pokemon Emerald would be really darn unlikely. Consider false until proven otherwise.
