It should have been a launch colour, yup. It should have also cost $169.99 at launch, yup.

LOL.

I'm abstaining from anything for XBox 360 or PS3 unless they're exclusives. I'm waiting on the Wii U port fest.

I'm going to wait for the PC release...

I understand, but 4 months later? Come on, that's a bit too soon. It should have been done from the get go because even then they were probably going to make profits or be even with this new price.

I would rather support devs (including those that work for Nintendo) the honest way i.e. by paying for the product, than getting free stuff. To me it just seems like Nintendo's Plan B for the 3DS, and in a way this move from Nintendo is so similar to Sony's rewards for their security mishap, as in they're giving away first-party titles which most people already have them, so it's not much of a reward.

If they're going to do the same thing with the Wii U, I don't think its launch is going to be that successful because there's the possibility that a lot of people are going to remember this and just wait for the price drop.

Not to mention they want to stay competitive against the PS Vita, which I wholeheartedly understand because they want to be ahead of the game.

After typing (ranting) all of this, I just thought of something that would make me happier. Reimburse me, let me spend that money on 3DS products of my own choice.

WOW. I'm shocked. Honestly I would have preferred this price at launch. I would have bought a couple more games.

I already own a bunch of NES games on the Wii, and I have all the GBA games I wanted, so this is no reward of any kind for me. Don't care about portability, or added 3D to these games.

Thumbs Down to Nintendo on such decision.

Hello Kira. Welcome to Pixlbit.

I'm guessing you're happy about this game coming to North-America?

I don't see this being a success for Nintendo, but since Microsoft and Sony also do it too to some extent then they might as well join in with the others.

I'm so hoping that their 2012 tour will come to Toronto. They just have to.
