The new $169.99 price tag on the Nintendo 3DS just went live nationwide today, August 12, 2011! A 1Up Member and proud owner of the 3DS since its launch blogs about what new purchasers should check out in terms of colors and games. Another blog details useful lessons taken away from games made by The Learning Company and Sid Meier. The gaming boards were alive with creativity as the 1UP Community took to MS Paint to create favorite gaming scenes. Also, be sure to check out a 1UP Member’s awesome cosplay photos of the less appreciated Katherine from Atlus’ Catherine game!
