Nintendo to Cut 3DS Price to $169 in August

Nintendo will dramatically slashed the price of its new 3DS handheld gaming console to $169.99 on August 12 following sluggish sales since it was introduced earlier this year. In addition, a new program is being instituted for those who paid the original full price.

Citing a lack of top tier software as a reason for soft sales totalling 710,000 units sold between April and June, Nintendo additionally announced Star Fox 64 3D , one of the most well-recepted upcoming 3DS games unveiled at E3 last month, remains a no-show on the release slate.

Amazon.com has already adjusted one of its 3DS listings to coincide with the announcement. The more popular Cosmo Black model is no longer in stock and now lists a ship date of - surprise, surprise - August 12. The price hasn't been adjusted down to $169.99 yet, but is expected to by the time it ships and credit cards are charged.

Current owners of 3DS who paid the original $250 premium are getting a little added bonus. Anyone who logs into the Nintendo eShop prior to 11:59 pm on August 11 will automatically become a member of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program. The first element of this program begins on September 1 and will allow 3DS Ambassadors to download 10 NES Virtual Console games for free before they are available to everyone else. A sample of those games includes Donkey Kong Jr.

Ice Cream Sandwich, maybe? Being a former BlackBerry fanboy, it has been a hard transition from some of the most exquisite portable QWERTYs to their not-so-friendly software counterparts. The more I use Swype, the more I hate it.
