The console will ship in time to receive Ambassador Program games.
The Nintendo 3DS is now available on Amazon.com for around $216. At the time of writing, the price was fluctuating between page loads, so it could be a good idea to check several times for the final price. Both colors, Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black, are available in limited quantities.
While Nintendo recently announced a price cut for the 3DS worldwide, users who purchase and connect their devices to the internet before August 12 will be eligible for free downloadable software through the Nintendo Ambassador program.
