Black Friday’s shadow is upon us, and with that, you know for sure that there will be plenty of deals that are available which many of us will be able to take advantage of. For those who already own the more powerful video game consoles of the current generation and would like to try out something different can always look to Nintendo. After all, with the Nintendo Wii’s release all those years ago. things have certainly changed when it comes to console gaming in the living room, not to mention the Nintendo DS drastically altering the way portable gaming worked. Nintendo does not want to miss out on the Black Friday festivities, which is why they are rolling out some deals that might actually hook you to pick up one of their consoles. Hey, why not complete that purchase with several triple A titles that are on sale as well?
Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon’s recent release is a big draw to say the least where a gaming title is concerned, and this would also mean that Nintendo 2DS as well as 3DS bundles will certainly be in demand if priced correctly. All of the major retailers will more or less offer the new Nintendo 3DS Super Mario Black Edition as well as White Edition for less than $100 -- with pricing ranging from $99.00 to $99.99, which means a difference of less than a dollar, depending on where you make your purchase from. Nintendolife has narrowed some of the best picks to the following :-
Nintendo 3DS bundles
Best Buy - New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario Black Edition - $99.99
Amazon.com - New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario Black Edition - $99.99
Walmart - New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario Black Edition - $99.00
Best Buy - New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario White Edition - $99.99
Amazon.com - New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario White Edition - $99.99
Walmart - New Nintendo 3DS Super Mario White Edition - $99.00
Nintendo 2DS bundles
GameStop will be offering the Nintendo 2DS in two different bundles -- the Nintendo 2DS with Mario Kart 7, arriving in Electric Blue and Crimson Red, retailing for $79.99 a pop.
Obviously it is not too difficult trying to choose between the Nintendo 3DS and the 2DS, but if you have many bundles that you would like to purchase, it will definitely add up at the end of the day. The Nintendo 3DS will obviously be the better purchase in terms of design and portability, making the Nintendo 2DS a good way to introduce newcomers to the world of handheld gaming
Nintendo Wii U
The Nintendo Wii U is on its last legs now, with the Nintendo Switch being prepared for a release some time in the first quarter of 2017. However, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be the swansong title on this well aged console, which incidentally will also make its debut along with the next generation Nintendo Switch. You might be able to pick up a Wii U with a really, really low price, and with it, classic titles on that platform as well without breaking the bank. Sort of like the feeling that you have when you buy a new car which is one generation removed from the existing model. It is a new ride, but there are some bells and whistles that are missing.
