much much MUCH better price. If a price drop didn't happen soon, the Vita would have embarrassed the 3DS. I do think that such a massive price drop so quickly just goes to show how greedy Nintendo got with their hardware pricing. isn't the actual manufacturing cost of the 3DS half of what they were charging?
OMG WOW o_o When I saw this on twitter I literally say "OMG What The F_ck!" I glad I didn't get a 3DS yet O___o 3DS lite must be coming ALOT sooner than we thought....
*looks at calender* no april fools....hmm

I was expecting a price drop by the end of this year, but I didn't think it would be this soon, nor by that much. Hopefully this'll help give the system some momentum.
Also, I hope WarioWare doesn't stay exclusive to early adopters. I'd pay for that for the third or fourth time, because I'm a whore like that.

Fuck you Nintendo. Fuck you. Im always with you from the get go and now this is how I'm rewarded?! Essentially being screwed out of $80?! Thanks ... Thanks a lot.
Lolololol.
So glad I waited, well I'm still waiting.
I don't care for old games, I don't care for ds games.
I want proper core 3ds games. Just give me 1 and I'll buy your little 3d doohicky.
Street fighter is the only one that interests me and that is a minor interest.
At least after a few more months of piss poor sales I might be able to pick one up real cheap!

I don't regret buying my 3DS early. I've used my 3DS enough that the 80 dollar price cut doesn't bother me. Especially if they're offering 20 free games as a way to apologize.
Those aren't really worth it in my opinion, they should of given early adopters something more.
anyways I hope Sony drops the Vita price as well till its next to nothing

Do you have a list of every game Nintendo is planning on giving the people who just got totally screwed by this?
Of ALL the gameboy advance titles to choose from, that's what they decided on? I'll be okay with this if we get some games more along the lines of "Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga" and "Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby". But they're Nintendo, and Nintendo these days just isn't that down to earth with their decision-making,
Not even Nintendo can ride on nostalgia and sub par software anymore.
Perhaps this will drive them to drop the bullshit and start up some new and innovative IP's.

20 free games...too bad I'll already own over half of them...ah well, it'll be nice to have them all in one place.
Hm. I'm glad they're giving away decent games. The 3D Classics were making me start to think Nintendo had forgotten what their good older games were. They could've just given us the next 10 Gameboy games that are due to be released....
Well they needed a price cut and it was the smart thing to do. Seems like a decent apology to early adopters (I'm one of them). Its not like they can offer much else.
I will be more careful about early adoption in the future though.

So early adopters paid 80 dollars more, but they got it 6 months early, excite bike 3d, and 20 free games (considering nintendo will probably price those games at least 8 bucks each) it's not too bad a deal I guess.
Although people complaining really have no right IMO. You saw that the system was overpriced, you saw that the launch line up was barren, you knew that the Vita was coming, you should have known a price drop would be somewhat soon, and you know that there will be a 3DS lite coming soon which you will also complain about because you were too impatient to wait. I'd say you're lucky for any compensation.

You can't blame nintendo, the system wasn't selling as much as they expected, and I think even nintendo realized they couldn't go head on with the vita priced in the same range. But cool for me I guess, I didn't buy my system and am getting 20 free games, I feel blessed. But nintendo hatred WILL go wild, and in all honesty I wouldn't blame the people who actually bought it, this is no 20-50 dollar price cut after a year, but an 80 one in mere months.
Whatever. I'm not gonna whine about losing out on 80 bucks. Its money I was planning on spending anyways. And since the GBA titles are apparently going to be exclusive to this program, and most of them are ones I actually want to have, I don't feel too terribly reamed. Not worth the butthurt.
@llort hex
Good point, plenty of people assumed a "3DS Lite" would be coming soon and waited, when others got it anyway.

I have no regrets being an early adopter and paying the full 250 price. Hell I bought two on launch day. Now, since I was an early adopter I get 20 free games. Old games or not that's pretty awesome, who wouldn't want something for free?
Also, did anyone NOT see a price cut coming especially after Sony announced the Vita at $249?

I don't even mind as an early adopter. At least the GBA games are sweet, I'd have paid for every one of those listed.
Just imagine, people are gonna wake up to this in the morning, then things are gonna blow up, it shall be interesting to see how people respond. I need to hit the hay too, 1:35, fukk.
God dammit! Now, more people will get a 3DS!! I was hoping that, since I bought it early for $250, Nintendo would have let me have a chance at showing off my new handheld! Nyaaaaaaa!!!!! Fudge you, Nintendo! Now my cousin will get one, and I won't be able to rub my 3DS and my balls to his face anymore! *whines like a kid who went shopping with his parents but didn't get the toy he was promised with*
... Free games you say??... But none of the Hoenn Pokémon games??!! WTF?! Sure, the Hoenn remakes are coming later this Gen, but I would have wanted to experience one last time since my DSi and 3Ds don't have GB slots!

I knew a price cut was coming after the PS Vita was announced,sure I didnt know it was going to be such a huge drop,but it still doesn't faze me,getting 22 free games in total is nice (including Excitebike and Pokedex),and lower price=more people have it=more games coming out,so frankly IDGAF.
I don't regret my purchase; I wanted the 3DS on launch day and never was in need of an avalanche of games right off the start (my time nor wallet would make that feasible anyways) and I did just that, the same I did when the phat DS came out. thanks for the games Nintendo (I rather have a $80 voucher though lololol).
I was literally seconds away from trading this thing in to Amazon until I read that I get 20 games. Although I'm angry about it being new and getting a price drop these games are some of my favorites. I'm just disappointed that there's no Pokemon included or available on the shop yet.
Drop region locking and I'm interested. Recent events have highlighted more than ever nintendo's inability to treat regions equally.
Now all they need to do is release a new Pokemon game for the 3DS, and they'll being swimming in a pool of money a la Scrooge McDuck in no time.
WTF! I would not pay $80 for 10 NES games and 10 GBA games I probably already own! How about a choice of "thank you packages," like free Skyward Sword a few days early?
Early adopters with no regrets represent. A gift of twenty free games is nothing to sneeze at, even if they're old games you didn't get on the Wii Virtual Console because you already own them on the NES (and replaced the save batteries yourself like a boss).
It's funny that most of you are forgetting that those GBA games are half of the package and that alone is almost the 80 bucks they dropped.
They could have easily done NOTHING to early adopters, they put you on VIP and you take it as a disservice.

Free games are nice 'n' all but I do still feel like a dick for buying the 3DS at launch (especially when my original unit bricked less than two months in). I've barely touched the bastard thing since day 1 and in all honesty if I had the choice between a bunch of games I've mostly played several times before or spending almost a third less in the first place, I'll take the latter.
1) I hope this also means downings on DS products (I could be in the market for the absurdly large DSi XL).
2) Fusion?! Mega Microgame$?! Eff yes. With the 3DS's gyro, this better also mean Twisted! is in the pipeline.
Now, if only they could associate those purchases with an account past who claims goodies in Club Nintendo.
