A few months after a price drop in the United States<\/a>, Nintendo of Canada has followed suit with a price reduction for the Nintendo 2DS.<\/p>\n

As of yesterday, July 15th, Nintendo lowered the price of its kid-friendly portable Nintendo 2DS system to a suggested retail price of $109.99. The previous price point for the portable system was $129.99.<\/p>\n

The Nintendo 2DS launched in October 2013 and is part of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. <\/p>\n

\u201cNintendo 2DS is the best value available for a portable dedicated gaming system and is great for gaming on the go,\u201d said Pierre-Paul Trepanier, Nintendo of Canada\u2019s General Manager and Senior Director. \u201cThe system has a library full of high-quality games for purchase, some in our Nintendo Selects category for less than $30 each, featuring Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Zelda.\u201d<\/p>\n

The price drop will become especially significant when the holiday shopping season rolls around. There are several bundles with the 2DS, with Yo-Kai Watch<\/a><\/em> and Mario Kart 7<\/em> coming pre-installed in some of the systems. These are sold at the same price as systems without the included bundle. Add to that the Nintendo systems are often on sale during the holidays, parents looking to get their kids a system could be in for a treat. <\/p>\n

I myself managed to pick up the Yo-Kai Watch 2DS bundle last November for my son and got it on sale for $99.99 CAD.<\/p>\n

Also, with the Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> craze sweeping the globe, it should’t be overlooked that the next original game in the series Pok\u00e9mon Sun<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Moon<\/em> will be released for the system on November 18th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
