If you are thinking about buying a Nintendo 3DS, there are some no-brainer purchase titles. Well, starting on April 22nd you can pick up five of them for a lot less. The titles will be available via the eShop of course, but will also hit this price in retail stores as well. How much of a slash? Down to $29.99 Let’s dig into what’s on offer:
Starting April 22, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D will be available in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS and in retail stores at a suggested retail price of just $29.99 each.
In order, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land and New Super Mario Bros. 2 represent the top three best-selling Nintendo 3DS games of all time in the United States – each one has sold more than 2.15 million physical and digital units in the U.S. alone.
