Nintendo Leaning On Star Fox 64 3D, Flame Red 3DS To Relaunch The Struggling Handheld
Meet the red 3DS. It's a lot like the standard blue and black model, but, you know, red. The Flame Red color flavor debuted in Japan a while ago, but Nintendo is finally bringing it here as part of the system's relaunch this Friday. (As if the color red will help the 3DS)The 3DS hasn't exactly been a hit so far. The company took a big loss last quarter after sales came in well below expectations. This clearly caused the company to reevaluate the 3DS's $249 price-point and so, the system was cut to $169. That price cut goes into effect this Friday as Nintendo desperately tries to stop the hemorrhaging.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/C8Tk1ossS18/
