Nintendo announced a massive price drop for the Nintendo 3DS today. Following this news, Amazon.com has opened pre-orders for 3DS systems with the new price point which will begin shipping on August 11.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
It's actually quite tempting
I really want one now that the price is dropped. Say it goes to about 120 pounds, I think it'd be a steal.
I admit I don't know much about tech or anything, but here goes...
I have a router with WPA encrypted security and I don't want to change it... (pretty sure it's dangerous)
of course, not most launch games for a system are ever good (iirc) but I would like the 3DS to play some online DS games (I wonder what I'm missing out on all the pokemon games). I'm interested in a lot of titles, but I'm not disappointing with it. It's only been a few months... I can wait for better games especially when I have my time full with other great games coming out
I would wait a little longer for better games and another price cut.
Will wait for a 3DS-Lite revision.
Hopefully it'll have some good games by then, not just Mario rehashes and N64 remakes.
