    If anyone doesn't know, if u have a Wii you can play the Original Ocarina of Time; either as packed in with Windwaker (GameCube) as the Wii plays gamecube games, or as LoZ : Collector's Edition (Gamecube) which has the two NES games and the two N64 games (OoT and Majora's Mask).

    U'd be able to pick either up for cheaper than buying the OoT 3DS. And you get to play it on a TV!

    Although if u have a 3DS you should definitely play Ocarina of Time, I just prefer playing things on my tv :o and for cheaper lol

    You can also download it off Wii's Virtual Console, it's about 1000 points. Something near a tenner last I recall, haven't used the VC in yonks.

    we better be getting that cut :mad: it wouldnt be right if the us was paying $170 and yet we would still be getting f****d for €250 does seem like the kind of dick move that would be pulled on us though.

    Can't wait for Star Fox, it's due out on September 9th. Kid Icarus:Uprising is another I'm looking forward to.

    Bad news about Snake Eater 3D though, it's been delayed: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/07/metal-gear-solid-snake-eater-3d-delayed-until-2012/

    I can tell you that the EU are definitely getting a cut, it was announced to the company I work for, but there's been no figures thrown about yet. Pre-owned prices have been cut to reflect the future drop in a brand new 3ds and trade in prices have plummeted too. We'll know more closer to the 13th.

    Hopefully that means they're going to overhaul the visuals, they looked pretty jagged and ugly in the videos.

    well tbh we should at least have the same figure as the us $170-€170 (even though our currency is worth more :rolleyes: )

    US figures dont include taxes

    how much will a US 3ds cost after the cut? $180 or so?


  • Registered Users Posts: 27,322 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    It'll be interesting to see how much the console actually is in shops after the cut as many have been discounting it already. HMV are selling it for €215, having previously had it at €205.
