The Nintendo 3DS has struggled since its launch, and Nintendo has announced a severe price cut of $80 to $169.99, down from $249.99. The price cut will be implemented on August 12, 2011.
If you bought your 3DS before August 12, the 3DS Ambassador Program will offer 3DS owners 20 free digital titles.
According to the press release:
“These free games are available to anyone who owns a Nintendo 3DS system and uses a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 11. These users will automatically be registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program.”
The free downloadable titles will be released in two stages:
Let us know if the cut to $170 will influence you to pick up a 3DS, or if it’s just too much – or if the games you’re waiting for have yet to be released.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the episode, i had the time to listen to it while i was driving to a concert 🙂
I hope all the Nintendo games, that are coming are going to be as fun as the look like. The remake is worth a try i think .. we will see 🙂
Star Citizen … puhh .. everyone is so hyped about it .. for me iots completly uninteresting .. i dont like the setup. Maybe if i will see my friends play it .. dont know.
And the Metroidvania game i meant was not Prince of Persia .. i will listen to the epdisoe (or the beginning) again and try to find out what name do you say.
So keep on with the good work guys, stay healthy and have fun playing games 🙂
