Here Comes Santa Claus, There Goes 3DS

Somehow I doubt a 3DS would top Naruto's
Christmas list today. But he's all grown
up and stuff now, right? Maybe that old-ass
system got passed down to Boruto, or
Newruto, or whatever his son's name is.

Season's warnings, everyone. Amidst the big sales on games for consoles and computers, there's a substantial but not well publicized holiday discount on games for the Nintendo 3DS. This is important, as rumors have been circulating that Nintendo will shutter the 3DS eShop as soon as next year. If you want some el cheapo titles for the dual screen, three dimensional handheld, this is both a golden opportunity and quite possibly your last one. Trust me on this... although Sony left its own digital storefronts open for its legacy systems after a public outcry, sales for the Playstation 3, PSP, and Vita have been all but non-existent for at least a year.

Nintendo Everything lists two dozen Atlus titles up for grabs on its web site, but the sale goes deeper than just one publisher, with parent company Sega and several others making significant cuts to the prices of their own 3DS titles. My humble suggestion is to get what you can while it's cheap, and more importantly, while it's there.
