Hot on the heels of Nintendo Japan, Nintendo of America has announced plans to drop the suggested retail price of its Nintendo 3DS system from $249.99 to only $169.99 in the US. The new price comes into effect from August 12.
“For anyone who was on the fence about buying a Nintendo 3DS, this is a huge motivation to buy now,” said Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. “We are giving shoppers every incentive to pick up a Nintendo 3DS, from an amazing new price to a rapid-fire succession of great games.”
In the US Star Fox 64 launches September 9, followed by Super Mario 3D Land in November, Mario Kart 7 in December and Kid Icarus: Uprising during the holiday season.
Since Nintendo 3DS launched in the US on March 27, more than 830,000 systems have been sold.
We’ve heard from Japan and North America, and now we’re waiting to see what the European price cut will be.
