The sale description warns that supplies for the sale are limited, and that Amazon may pull the sale at any time, so we don't know when it will all end. But it's a nice chance to expand your 3DS or DS library nonetheless.

Still waiting for some great 3DS games to come out. Hopefully Kid Icirus will be out soon. Nintendos E3 should be epic to say the least.

Man, the 3DS launch was awful.
Waiting for OoT 3D has been so excruciating.

In my opinion, it's much better than the DS was.

@KaBob799 Agreed.
You know, I really don't remember what I played on my DS at launch.
Probably the Prime Hunters demo.

It would be a good deal if there were really any 3DS games I wanted to buy right now. I'm not into fighting games, so SFIV is out, and I have Ridge Racer.
Everything else is pretty mediocre.

Is Ace Attorney Investigations 2 on that list?
Oh wait, right, Capcom canceled that one.

That can't be a good sign for system sales when big retailers are trying to just offload recently launched software.
Or not good for software sales. One of the two, or both.

Amazon does buy one get one half off or buy two get one free deals all the time. Has little to do with the 3DS's sales.

Just got Bowser's Inside Story and the 3rd Layton game. I am such a tool, I bought these brand new and instead of some awesome Capcom published games just because buying them plus Ocarina of Time would take me to 600 Club Nintendo points (platinum reward).
Damn you and your fiendish reward system Nintendo :(

I'm a little tired of expanding my library right now. I think I'll wait until mid-June to start spending money again.

Oh goodie, 1 decent title out of all that mess.

@iAlejandro
Are you also judging the Nintendo DS list?
Or just the 3DS?
...either way, you'd be wrong if you were expressing it as a fact.
It just depends how wrong you'd be.
There's barely a handful of moderately good - to - great games for the 3DS, but it's more than one. Granted, the games aren't for everyone... so in that sense, it's one decent game per genre.
But if you're talking about the DS list... you'd just be blind...

@blahblah55 I stand corrected, I "was" referring to the 3DS games library. Not the DS.

Toys R Us is doing a similar deal. Through Saturday, they have buy1get1 half of on ALL DS and 3DS games. I believe it's both online and in-store.

After the first page, the list of games is pretty awful. Plus, I think I've amassed all the DS games I've really wanted.
