I feel like a dumbass now. I knew there would be an eventual price drop, but I certainly didn't expect it to be within four months and a huge 32%.
At least there are new VC games listed, because I want nothing to do with any of the current crop. Although since it's all Nintendo-published crap, I'm not super excited for very much of it.
eh..no big deal to me. Early adopters or people who buy games day one always have to keep price drops in mind. This was a bit sooner than I thought for the 3DS but with no retail games and slow sales Nintendo had to do something. Still not clear what will be free. Twenty free games???
Yes. 10 each from NES and GBA, with the GBA ones supposedly exclusive to this Ambassador program (I wouldn't expect that to last longer than a year though, if that). About half of them have been announced, and they're (mostly) highly-regarded classics.
Jesus Christ. Read this bullshit from Reggie:
edit: If the NES games I've bought on the Wii VC aren't transferable, I'm going to lose my shit. I don't want Mario or Zelda. I want my Castlevania and Contra.Quote:

Besides which, there's no delusion involved, he's a paid mouthpiece. He's gonna say that whether he believes it or not, because that's his job.
Resident Evil: Revelations isn't coming out this year.
The 3DS lineup and that ridiculous claim is up against this (from October through December):
Dark Souls
Rage
Batman: Arkham City
House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut (PS3 only)
Battlefield 3
Silent Hill: Downpour
King of Fighters XIII
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record
Uncharted 3 (PS3 only)
Anarchy Reigns
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Need for Speed: The Run
Rayman Origins
Saints Row: The Third
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
I excluded Gears 3 and MW3 per your criteria.
edit: Oh, Reggie used Star Fox too. Time to add September:
Child of Eden (PS3 port)
Otomedius Excellent (360 only)
Dead Island
Driver: San Francisco
Resistance 3 (PS3 only)
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
I also excluded all the HD collections.
edit2: For the record, I'm buying Star Fox, Mario, and Mario Kart. Kid Icarus is doubtful, because it's going to play like shit.
Crap, that got pushed too? I knew MGS had. :(Quote:

Now if they would just release one with a larger screen and better battery life I would be all over this. Though holding out past the release of Mario Kart is going to be a problem.
