3DS

The hottest gaming news today is probably the price drop for the Nintendo 3DS system effective starting August 11th, for a whopping ￥10,000 less!

Since the price drop is happening barely 6 months after the launch, Nintendo is offering early adopters free downloads of 10 Famicom and 10 GBA games from the virtual library, which amount to ￥10,000 worth of game downloads.

I was also able to verify somewhat that while 3DS is region-locked, North American DS games seem to play just fine on Japanese 3DS systems.

Now I just need to wait for a nice colour to come along and snatch one! XD
