Nintendo 3DS: Thread 03 - Discontinued Edition

[Cepp]

Yeah just a matter of time.

Just as a heads up for anyone that's interested, NISA have Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight on sale for £9.99.

Barring the obvious security concerns for Nintendo, is this actually that big a deal? (genuine question).

The people who acquired this info appear to have acknowledged that they cannot put it to any good use (ie. improve 3DS emulation) for fear of Nintendo's lawyers totally having them for breakfast.

Not really that I know of, curious if it was part of that previous leak though or if they've been hit again

[briareos_kerensky]

Apparently it's part of a 2018 hack or leak.

Just looked on Argos
Some crazy deals but as my local not yet open it would have to be delivery & argos don't always offer my address for delviery...which seems weird.

Trying to navigate Amazon for the cheapest games is ridiculous as always unless you know the titles you are looking for

Bravely Second: End Layer - £2.49 @ Argos. Jump on it quick if you're interested.

It would appear that Argos are no longer allowing items to be reserved for pick-up/payment in-store, presumably because of the current climate. Payment in full is required before the reservation can be secured.

That sucks.

Yeah it went pretty quick.

They do have Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash for £2.49 still.

Erm...I never said anything about being disappointed about not getting a copy.

Think you might have misunderstood what I said?

Argos used to allow items to be reserved for free online for you to then collect and pay for in-store. This is no longer the case - they are now asking for money up-front before they allow you to reserve and collect.

*That* is what I was referring to when I said that sucks.

You sure have a way with words mate.

For anyone else on the lookout for 3DS games, I'd recommend bookmarking the 3DS page on HotUKDeals.

https://www.hotukdeals.com/tag/3ds

There's some cracking deals being posted there at the moment, presumably companies wanting to shift the last of their stock.

Not really. My words are perfectly fine and easy to understand, mate.

But no harm done.

After a decade and approx. 76m units sold globally, the end has finally come for what might well be the last true out-and-out Nintendo handheld hardware (No, I don't count the Switch/Switch Lite!).

Nintendo have officially confirmed 3DS discontinuation.

RIP (2011 - 2020).

It's definitely time, but what a life the little guy had - so many excellent games.

With it, I hope we are burying region locking for good.
