I was too lazy to post this myself but here is a link from NEOGAF also. Early Adopters of the 3DS get 10 free NES games later to be sold to everyone and 10 free GBA games not yet announce for sale.
Games must be downloaded before august 11, me thinks.
Wasnt expecting one to be so soon, but good for those who did not like the original price or couldnt afford it such as myself :P
Great! I thought GBA games weren't going to be downloadable, just GB/C?I was too lazy to post this myself but here is a link from NEOGAF also. Early Adopters of the 3DS get 10 free NES games later to be sold to everyone and 10 free GBA games not yet announce for sale.

Well on the article it said they would be exclusive for the ambassadors of the system and they have no plans (yet I'm guessing) to release them.I was too lazy to post this myself but here is a link from NEOGAF also.

"These games will be available exclusively to Ambassadors, and Nintendo currently has no plans to make these 10 GBA games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future."
The high price just did not make sense. It should have been less then 200 out of the door in the first place.

the high price was from the wonderful reception it got post E3 they were going to go less from the start but it was praised highly when they showcased it

Lucky. :Phas there ever been a price cut this quick into a system release? sucks i bought it at launch oh well at lest i get some free games.
I'm in awe. Seriously Nintendo, what a slap in the face for early adopters like me, as if we havent already gotten the shaft...
Well I do suppose that Nintendo has effectively won the handheld war already as this is good for both consumers and producers.
**** Wasn't expecting them to drop it that low so soon. Now I feel like regretting getting it day one. Yeah I think I not going to get anymore systems day one lol.

Oh that nice through would be better if it was SNES/GB games instead of NES, but I can go with the GBA games (hopefully they are good choices).

Oh that nice. Don't really care for NES games, but I can go with the GBA games (hopefully there are good choices).
Some of the GBA games I can remember from my heard are, Metroid fusion, Mario Kart GBA, Warioware, Yoshi's islandI was too lazy to post this myself but here is a link from NEOGAF also.

One has to purchase a 3DS and connect it to the eShop by August 11th to be able to download the games. The NES games will be available for download Sept. 1st and the GBA games sometime at a later date before the end of the year.
Yeah, the 20 free games are actually really nice, especially the GBA ones. Glad they are including Yoshi's island because I sold that a long time ago and regret it terribly. Hopefully The Minish Cap will be included as I never played any of the GBA Zeldas.
Whoa I was not expecting that. Ninty must really be feeling the pressure good thing Sony priced the PSV at 250-300 usd.gamefan67
i dont think it had anything to do with sony that much i think it was more of nintendo only wants and gets high sales and the 3ds was not doing that so they cut the price
The GBA games list is nice. Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island, Wario Ware, Metroid Fusion. Even the NES games, which include Zelda and Ice Climbers, ain't half bad. If they include Minish Cap and Link to the Past for us 'ambassadors' :roll: too, then I'll be somewhat pacified. But seriously Nintendo, WTF? It's a slap. That's it, I'm never buying hardware day one again.charizard1605
Well there are 5 GBA games yet to be announced, so you can still hope :P.
Also there are still 5 NES games yet to be announced as well apparently.

Yeah those four are nice choices since I never played any of those so that good. Maybe the first Zelda game could be nice but I bet I won't get into the NES games much...
I still pretty piss through. I definitely not getting a PS Vita day one now or any system for now on.
Wow 80$ price drop if you include tax Fan boys must be kicking themselves for buying it day one even tho it had Zero games.Shielder7Fanboys are the only ones to buy day 1 :? I bought a 360 day 1, and yea I am no Lem.
Woah... Sony's in trouble now.
3ds is still an overpriced gimmick at this point, but with the games rolling in later this year i wonder how PSV will manage. Furthermore i thought Sony was going to lose money on Vitas they sold? Now they have to consider a price drop sooner than anticipated perhaps.
Nintendo must have been really desperate thou, and the massive price drop only confirms how overpriced 3ds was to begin with... Biggest slap in the face to early adopters i've seen... and more ports as compensation... Buying a next gen console to play older gen games is not my idea of a good deal so i'll wait up and see how the handheld war is going to be.
[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="93BlackHawk93"] At least newer consumers will never get them. :P93BlackHawk93Let's be real, maybe a year or so down the line, they'll be released to everybody at large. Don't make me feel sad. D: It's sad, but it's true. Everybody gets the NES games- we just get them first (the press release says so). It's obvious the GBA games will be released to the public later too. Meh. Never buying Nintendo hardware early again.
