They aren't supposed to be 3 cents. When they ring up 3 cents, it is a queue for them to pull them off of the shelf. Apparently this store AND its staff didn't get the memo.
64GB from the same brand is just $4 more.
https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-64GB-Speed-MicroSD-Adapter/dp/B07F6TS4TD/ref=sr_1_5
These are just the new normal prices for this brand and SD cards though, the 32 GB has been this price for 2 months, the 64 GB 1 month.
I own this version and to be quite honest, it’s a very well done remake. I’m noticing that most first-party titles released at the end of the 3DS lifespan don’t use the 3D feature of the console, and this game has one of the best implementations of it.
The game feels very natural to play on the 3DS and includes some extras worth playing again if you are a fan of the GameCube version.
Edit: For anyone still on the fence, the price is (currently) cheaper on Amazon by mere cents ($28.35 at time of posting).
If anyone is still curious about the remake, Digital Foundry did an amazing video on it here.
BUYER BEWARE on anything from PayPal Digital Gifts. I would recommend reading through the comments at the link below and researching the allegations reported there before buying:
If your money could potentially be at risk it should not be taken lightly.
Sorry Mods, but I think I got it right this time...
This sale might end very soon, so I'll put the camelcamelcamel link for prosperaty incase it goes back up to $40 in a few hours and people call me an idiot for posting the standard prime price.
Shipping makes this NOT a sale >.> Explorers with the cheapest shipping is about $21 and Amazon has it for $20. https://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-Explorers-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B012TRQKZA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486478221&sr=8-1&keywords=final+fantasy+explorers#customerReviews
Here's the link to the Amazon page.
Also found it on Walmart for $20.10
I'm surprised that some stores still have this. This was initially put on clearance like 9-10 months ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3DSdeals/comments/7gacrf/target_usa_assorted_3ds_games_clearance_incl/
also this: https://slickdeals.net/f/10980743-new-super-mario-bros-2-3ds-14-98-target-b-m-ymmv
It seems like half the stores in my area still appear to have it.
edit: Looks like they marked the price back up to MSRP ($29.99) for some inane and unfathomable reason
Free shipping for prime members. Also available at Walmart:

Saw this deal in a post in /r/3DS, but since it wasn't here I decided to post it. So credit goes to the OP there.
Holy shit, I just got a new 3DS XL for $148 through this! The red is a bit over $200 right now, but the black is currently $175 and the 15% off code works on top of that.
Preorders for white up on Walmart NOW!
Edit: not my affiliate link, I copy/pasted from NowInStock so I could be faster
Edit 2: gone, 3:15 PM Eastern
Bring it down to $26.99 with a $5 off credit for installing the 1Button browser addon. I installed it, used it, got the credit, and uninstalled with no issue.
Black friday 2013 it dropped to 19.99, other than that it rarely ever drops below 30$.
Tried the demo out before and rather enjoyed it. Never played the Wii U version but seems like a great game with a lot of charm.
Amazon also pricematched this deal.
Amazon link for the lazy! Currently only 14 left in stock at that price from Amazon, just FYI :)
Looks like Amazon has it up now too at the normal $39.99 price.
They do exist. Doesn't seem to be for sale on the official Nintendo site - it would be on the page linked. They seem to run cheaper than the XL version (about $40 shipped on ebay). Here is a pink one on amazon for $22 and a baby blue one for $27
Walmart has a bundle. It gives you the 3ds and external pokemon power bank for $177.05
Not worth it's own post, so I'll put it here:
Mario Party Star Rush - Nintendo 3DS is also on sale for 33.99. Best price ever according to camelcamelcamel.
Read what I said genius. It's 19.99 365 days a year... Because that's msrp. You're trying to tell people playing over retail is a good deal...

I tried searching but I could not find the post on reddit. I don’t know why, I searched for 10 minutes but nothing. I googled it and it was this
https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-mario-kart-7-for-the-nintendo-3ds
Download code available by Groupon for around the same price. Shipping is $4 for Groupon but you may find a discount code to cover those fees.
You can get Majora's Mask 3D for $30 by price-matching Majora's Mask 3D to $35 via Costco.com then using the coupon. Best Buy does ad-match Costco.com btw.

According to Amazon, the "charger bundle" is a New 3DS XL without a charger, plus an add-on charger.
The 15% off is nice, but I have no idea where they are getting this ~~$319.99~~ starting price.
Titanfall 2 at Walmart for $24.99 Actually posted on PS4 deals sub or another one I can't remember. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Titanfall-2-PS4/52599732 Dishonored 2 at Walmart for $39 Which with this target deal basically you get 3 games for $40/ea anyways if they're all $60 games https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dishonored-2-Standard-Edition-PS4/55048832?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222228065398164&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=169737958253&a...

150 price up on walmart guys!!!! You can honor your $99 price if it was cancelled!
https://www.walmart.com/ip/54906123
Edit: k wtf that sold out in like 1 minute. Does anyone have any idea how many they put in stock for the 150? It seems like a really small amount because it sells out so damn fast. Literally wtf one minute after typing that it went in Stock again, are they putting up units one by one??? That's what it looks like. http://imgur.com/8Qa5S3W
Okay it just went in Stock again, peeps trying to get the 150, stay on walmart.com it keeps coming in and out of stock.
Walmart has them back in stock for preorder as of now!
Long ass-direct link
white in walmart is dead.
Treasure Trove includes all the existing expansions. Apparently there is another expansion coming in 2018 called King of Cards(scroll down to the includes section). that will be freely available if you own Treasure Trove as well.
Too good to be true if you let the skeptics get to you. On all the links posted, there are people receiving their orders and thankful for the deals. https://slickdeals.net/f/8325917-who-bought-from-wepowershop-com-any-updates?page=14#commentsBox
Same - I'll update if I get any more info on the order. I used their contact page to ask a few questions. It does look scammy like /u/AtheonsBelly said. I found a few day old thread with people talking about it here https://slickdeals.net/f/8318185-looking-for-a-sonos-deal?page=4#commentsBox - no solid word on it being legit or not, but I will definitely be keeping track of it.
Update: Interesting turn of events. A couple people received their (Sonos) orders/items on the above link and their items were shipped by Best Buy... this may not be a scam after all.
Well just find anything that fits a dsi I'm assuming would fit. They are about the same dimensions so you can base your case off that. Or just get the 3ds one off amazon for 10 bucks.

There's a red/black one for $111, too, but like you said it's a new seller so I'm unsure if I should or not. Seems like if it's an issue, Amazon will handle it.

If you're thinking about buying a bigger SD card, I bought this Samsung one, as it came out about $1 less than others. Apparently this counted as a camera purchase, because Amazon gave me a $20 voucher for Shutterfly:
>Your recent purchase of a digital camera qualifies you for $20 off one purchase of $20 or more on Shutterfly.com. Visit www.shutterfly.com/amazonholiday to redeem your $20 Shutterfly offer using the code above.
Wow, they did it. First try. I didn't have to give a fancy excuse or anything. Already got the adjustment email.

Amazon. Same link as OP, just click buy digital.
Edit: fixed link. Apparently the smile/non-smile Amazon URLs are different
Also on Amazon but apparently will take a month or two to ship.
For what country?
If you are in the United States:
* New 2DS XL (Black & Turquoise) at Target - $129.99
* New 3DS XL (SNES Edition) at Amazon - $149.99
Both Target and Walmart still have it at $13.19:
http://www.target.com/p/nintendo-selects-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-time-3d-3ds/-/A-50662793 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Legend-of-Zelda-Ocarina-3-Nintendo-Selects-Nintendo-3DS/49911797
(as far as I know this deal has been running for a couple of weeks now)
Right... Well, this is the one I found. What do you think?
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-slide-pad-dedicated-expansion/dp/B005TESKW2
The 3DS is 239 g and the 2DS is 261 g. That's just over 20% less despite having essentially the same battery life.
There is also a slight difference in distance between the buttons and top trigger because the 2DS is a little more compact.
Everything else is the same.
For us, and our totally subjective opinions, the 2DS is more comfortable to use for long gaming sessions. I consider my hands large (4" wide palm, index to wrist 8", and extended thumb to pinky 9.5"). For me the decreased weight means I can use the 2DS for 2+ hours without any grips. but I need a grip for the 3DS for anything more than 30 minutes.
Coupon still works until the 3rd of August (if you have one), but no new coupons are being given out.
This page doesn't reflect that fact.
So don't bother downloading the game and logging in to kongregate on it, you'd be wasting your time just like I did.
Thanks anyhow, keikun13, if only I had seen this earlier :-D
edit: I grabbed it at $10 just now and it's pretty fun so far
edit 2: I was worried that the copy I got was their last copy at the gamestop I went to. Gamestop opens 1 copy and puts the case on display or something like that, so I was worried that the club nintendo reward code would've been used up by an employee. This thankfully wasn't the case. Would be best to check more than 1 local gamestop if there is one that has more than 1 copy available.
It looks like Walmart has the Black 3ds back on pre-order, but the catch is, it's $150 now: https://www.walmart.com/ip/3DS-BLK-HDWR/54906123?affp1=VHcC4PqKrU5-K4sP9Y_fZhxHP79QpEcQtM-izpNyKrU&affilsrc=api&u1=&oid=223073.7200&wmlspartner=AKGBlS8SPlM&sourceid=07239488320848997440&affillinktype=14&veh=aff
It's been up for pre-order about three hours now or so, so I contacted an online rep (again) to see if this meant they now had stock to fill my (and other's) orders. The rep stated that yes, they are looking to fill out orders with this new stock, and while they had a lot of orders to fill out, that I should be getting a shipping notification (I ordered mine to ship to store) by Tuesday. My order has been on hold since Thanksgiving morning.
Just thought I'd pass it along for anyone who still wanted to order it despite the price, and to give hope to those who are also still endlessly waiting in the "processing" stage.
Walmart has preorders right now but they are at $150 also i heard amazon does to. This must be good news then if there doing preorders then we should get ours to.
Also only for black 3ds i dont see it for the white ones.
Edit I dont see anything on the amazon site i dont no if you need prime or not hopefully someone can let us know
Edit 2 They also have a sale for the new xl 3ds for $175 here check it out https://www.reddit.com/r/3DSdeals/comments/5hc1cj/target_us_new_nintendo_3ds_xl_17499_1218_1224/
Not updating currently, and it was just 30, (clearly not since current price doesn't match what they say it is). This shows it is a sale though. http://camelcamelcamel.com/Zero-Escape-Virtues-Last-Reward-Nintendo/product/B007FMSDU0
I just ordered on on jet.com a while ago along with Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker... https://jet.com/product/product/34ad5d2287e24a1491211d589935f30b
Used a 20% off coupon from the mail and came out a little bit ahead of the current deals. May be worth considering if you're not in a rush to get it.
This may be only valid for Costco members in the US, but I pre-ordered mine from there for $34.99 + $1.99 shipping. It's not a ground breaking deal, but it's something. Compared to Amazon ($39.99 + local tax), it saves a few dollars.
http://www.costco.com/Code-Name%3A-S.T.E.A.M.-Nintendo-3DS-Video-Game.product.100145974.html
The black version is selling for $199.99 on Walmart.com right now... wondering if this means that post Black Friday we go back to full price?
https://www.walmart.com/ip/54906125
But it is not in stock now. I ordered back then (Nov 19th) and still the status shows that is in processing. I am not sure if they will actually ship and if they do, will it be the correct model. Because it is being sold by a thrid party.
This is the only thing I have seen most recently:
https://slickdeals.net/f/10617724-new-swych-app-users-20-nintendo-eshop-gc-16-10-nintendo-eshop-gc-8-smartphone-required
Paypal Digital Gifts on eBay also occasionally runs a promo on eShop cards, though if you ever buy from them I would strongly recommend that you add the balance to an eShop account quickly and not let it sit on the gift card unredeemed for long. This is reportedly because of security issues in the past where people lost the value on their virtual gift cards due to hacking.
No longer available. But for $30 more than OPs deal, it'd be a no-brainer.
Nothing wrong with the company it seems, I wouldn't pass up this deal. Only complaints are that they got backed up from Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Check out https://slickdeals.net/f/8325917-who-bought-from-wepowershop-com-any-updates?page=14#commentsBox. People are receiving their items and the company is replying to inquiries.
> Received my Wii and another is in shipment somewhere. These people really came through with this stuff. No confirmation and no ship notice. +1 for wepowershop for sure in my book
Sorry if this is a bit dumb, but would I be alright ordering from this? I’ve looked around everywhere and Amazon is the cheapest I’ve found so far, but I’m a bit skeptical. (https://www.amazon.com/Shin-Megami-Tensei-Summoner-Hackers-Nintendo/dp/B00APBF8A6#)
Heads up: It's cheaper on Amazon, and shipping might be cheaper too.
https://www.amazon.com/Theatrhythm-Final-Fantasy-Curtain-Call-Nintendo/dp/B00K5K4JQG/
I bought it about a month ago. Great fun that makes me nostalgic for all those bygone FF classics.
Super YMMV, I haven't seen it at any Walmart around here in probably a year or more and it's only 3rd-party sellers on the website at like $40+.
edit: Amazon currently has the digital version on sale for $29.99
Moon is also available at $30 on amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Pokémon-Moon-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B01C93CWSI/ref=sr_1_12?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1492553671&sr=1-12&keywords=2ds&th=1
Amazon has this for $16.99 with prime shipping too. I ordered it this morning.
​
Walmart and Amazon both have this deal.

> So I haven't bought a DS since my DS Lite, and I really want a 3DS XL or 2DS XL. Do you guys really use the 3D much/is it worth paying extra?
Honestly it varies from person to person and it just comes down to personal preference. Some people like myself rather enjoy the 3D effect while others don't really care for it. In the past I would have suggested going to a retail location to try the 3D on a display model but you won't find these anymore as it's all 2DS XLs now and it's been that way for awhile. Maybe a GameStop might let you test drive one? i don't know. I'm not sure what to suggest. No one really carries the New 3DS XL anymore btw. The only really reliable place to find it is a refurbished unit direct from Nintendo (which are basically like new in my experience and also include the standard 1-year warranty).
As far as current deals go Amazon has the Purple & Silver 2DS XL for $139.99 and GameStop has some 2DS consoles $10 off this week, although most of them don't seem to be available online so it may down to local store stock. Pro tip: if you have a mobile device get the GameStop app and use it to check local stock instead since it will show you more detailed infomation like "New" vs "Pre-owned" condition instead of just saying "Call Store" like their website likes to do these days.
If you want physical of Theatrhythm, it's on Amazon for under $10.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call - Nintendo 3DS: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K5K4JQG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sLmaEbPVN2666
Hello!
I was looking around for a capture card for my 3DS (new 2DS XL) and found one on Amazon that doesn't look too expensive, but since I have no knowledge about capture cards, I don't really know if it would work well.
What I want to do is just film my 3DS while I play and then have the video file on my computer. Having a cord connected to my 3DS is no problem.
Here's a link to the capture card I found : https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Loop-Out-Streaming-Recorder-Nintendo/dp/B08HVCK8Z1/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=3ds+capture+card&qid=1603293388&sr=8-3
If you have better suggestions, I am open to them! Also if you need more info like what type of computer I have, I can anwser too. Thanks!
I just picked up a purple 2DS and 6 used games my gf wanted, but they don't have cases. I would like a nice way to wrap them that will also give her a way to display them. I wanted to do the DK Barrel but $35 is more than I spent on the games. She won't travel with it. She also has a bad habit of not playing games she doesn't see - so I would like to avoid zip up cases.
Does anyone know of anything like the DK Barrel, know where I can get decent replacement cases, or have any other suggestions?
Walmart currently has both colors, each at $129.99. Free shipping if you don't want to pick up in store.
Just bought a black/turquoise one from their online store last week. ~~I'm sure they'll price match in store~~ edit: they wont do it in-store, but they claim they will online, but even if they don't it's still discounted by twenty bucks.
Also, Ocarina of Time 3D is on sale for $16 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AC3ZDCE/
Found a case here that can hold 68 games total, but its a combination of switch and ds games. (48 3ds and 20 switch). I know its not quite what you wanted, but its still pretty close to what you were looking for though.
I've seen it on amazon and other places at 19.99 at regular price for a while now.
based on the pre-order for this FE game:
I believe some of the later games will require the system to be of the "NEW" variety.
And also it is up for $28.49 on Amazon at the moment if you want to have physical.
I really want this 3ds for the cover plates, but the prices have been $250 + for the past few weeks. Do you think it's worth it to buy or should I wait? To be honest, I'd also be fine getting a 3ds and buying the plates separately, but I'm having a tough time finding the plates.
Any thoughts appreciated.
The system is available on Amazon Prime Now for the Raleigh region at approx. 6PM with zipcode 27695 https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B01MFAWPRA?m=A1GX7G3DZPVKWG&qid=1481432705&sr=1-8&ref_=pn_sr_sg_8_img_A1GX7G3DZPVKWG
Was able to purchase one this morning from walmart.com for $149. Took 3 live chats but I was able to get the price match from amazon. Final price was $106 with shipping. I used this link with zip code 30303: https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B01MFAWPRA?m=A82DWXAU0FNYR&qid=1481646719&sr=1-0&ref_=pn_sr_sg_0_img_A82DWXAU0FNYR
Yea so sorry I didn't post it. I got my copy for $26, it's still on sale tho, just for a bit less:
Monster Hunter Generations - Nintendo 3DS Standard Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJI62WA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_th2vybB13JJAX
I bought the illumishield screen protector which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/iLLumiShield-Nintendo-Protector-Anti-Bubble-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B0159EESEA/ it installs pretty well and I even managed to install it successfully in my dusty room lol. It also comes with 3 pieces for each screen in case you mess it up the first few tries.
I bought a hard drive pouch for my n3ds, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VVH8Y6/ it runs a lil big but the n3ds is held by a elastic strap which should prevent it from shaking inside the pouch.
Hi guys would this sd card work for the New Nintendo 3DS? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-SDSDQX-032G-AFFP-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B01FRGZHK4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482103520&sr=8-1&keywords=sandisk+32+gb+micro+sd+card+extreme+plus
Yea I had issues with the first one, just gotta keep trying until you get a good one. I also tried to provide concise information. I accidentally clicked away before I could save the transcript but my initial request was just like "I purchased two 3ds for $149. Amazon now has it at $99. Can you guys price match that?" With my order number in the section.
When they asked I also provided the plain link to the item:
https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B01MFAWPRA
and immediately added "if the item isn't showing up you need to input the zipcode (whichever zip code is working - I used a Virginia beach one, my billing zip code was not that one)
They took forever to respond (like 5-7 minutes) but I just let them work. I also thanked them throughout the process. Then they said they could only price match one item so I thanked them and said that would be wonderful.
So basically luck, kindness, and conciseness are key
The first person I gave a complicated link and explained what Amazon prime now was because they didn't seem to be able to understand that it needed a zip code. And she shut me down for my troubles because they only price match Amazon not Prime Now.
Good luck
I have this one and I like it: https://www.amazon.ca/iGadgitz-Black-Travel-Nintendo-versions/dp/B011ILD57E/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&qid=1481041567&sr=8-47&keywords=3ds+case
Sometimes hurts my fingers a little bit to take the console out of the case (and I have small hands), but it is a fit for the regular sized N3DS.
Would this sd card work for the new nintendo 3DS? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Standard-Packaging-SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA/dp/B010Q57T02/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482539886&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+sd+card
I feel you. But this kind of tells me that it'll happen again. And maybe it happened other times today and I just missed them.
does that link work? should show you the 3ds black, not in stock. I also should mention it was from the glendale location, my zip is 91214. Even when it was listed, I tried another los angeles zip and it didn't show.
I got one for my 8 y/o niece. Is there anything else I might need for her to get started? I got a protective case, Pokemon Sun, and Super Mario Maker. I assume these will be good starter games. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FDA42PU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DV0CVGW4L6E5
Placed order for a black one aswell.
I also ordered a NO.45 faceplate (black gray camo finish) to match the black 3DS, it's gonna look cool

Alternatively, the Sea Green 2DS is beautiful and I actually want one for myself. I've seen a few dusty ones at Target.
The sense I get is that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is generally regarded as the best in the series and Generations is 2nd at this point. Some people might flip those two but if you were to take a poll I think MH4U might come out on top overall. Plus you can get it for like half the price of Generations so you might be better off, and there are surely many hours to be put into it and by the time you do so Generations might be cheaper by then if you want more. Here it is on Amazon for $20:

I think the digital download version is also on sale for $20 on the Nintendo eShop currently since there is a Capcom publisher sale through next week I believe.
As far as some other titles to start a library goes, it depends on what genres you like of course, but it's hard to go wrong with any of the main 3DS Zelda titles (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, A Link Between Worlds), Donkey Kong Country Returns, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Shovel Knight, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Star Fox 64.
Resident Evil Revelations is also very good and currently on sale for $5 on the eShop, which is a steal.
I don't know about online, but you can go to any Best Buy store and ask them to match Amazon's price:

Show them on your mobile device or they can look it up themselves too. Both the black and red models are currently available for purchase direct from Amazon for $175.
Actually, I found a solution that worked for me ;) In case this ever happens to come up in someone's search, I figured I'd share.
Picked up this pouch:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LXAP0RE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits the n3dsXL with the dreamGear grip very snugly, so it IS on the smaller side, the main compartment can only hold the console and this 24-cartridge case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K6LQAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And the front pocket holds the charger.
Same price on Amazon.ca! Someone must have price matched it. I didn't even know it was on sale at EB, but I saw it on Amazon and purchased it right away.
It's good for all the other lazy bastards like me who want to buy games without leaving their chair.
