Another 3DS Price Drop Imminent, Blue 3DS XL + Mario Kart 7 Bundle To Be Released Next Week

The Nintendo 3DS (the small one) might just be getting another price drop as Nintendo is rumored to lower the price of the handheld from $169.99 to $139.99 in two weeks time.

Back in August 2011, Nintendo was forced to drop the price of the 3DS from $249.99 to $169.99 as a counter-measure to the handheld's weak sales performance. It's a whole different ball game now and the 3DS was able to hold its ground.

Cheap Ass Gamer user "htz" claims that it's currently unclear whether the price drop will be a MSRP or just a retailer discount. The same forum user suggests that Nintendo will be releasing a Blue 3DS XL + Mario Kart 7 bundle for $199.99.
