Nintendo announced today that the price of the 2DS will be reduced on August 30. On that day, the system will only cost $99.99, down from the current suggested retail price of $129.99.
All 2DS units in North America will continue to come with the digital version of Mario Kart 7.
NE: "Kirby's been on more than a handful of adventures, and we've gathered a list of 10 of the best Kirby games here."
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
I wouldn't recommend the 2DS to a friend under normal circumstances, but if price is prohibiting you from buying an system with an incredible library of games to play, the $99 2DS with packed in Mario Kart 7 is a steal.
The included video makes some decent points about whether we'll see price drops on other models and if North America should expect to see the New 3DS sometime soon.
