Nintendo just announced a massive price drop on the 3DS from 25,000 to 15,000 yen ($190). That’s a markdown of around $100 USD. The reduction goes into effect on August 11.

A similar drop is planned for overseas markets during Nintendo’s fiscal Q2. While specific dates have yet to be announced, Nintendo aims to “accelerate market penetration” in time for the holiday shopping season. May want to hold off on those purchase plans until then, unless you have an immediate need for a new handheld.
