Yesterday’s 3DS price-drop was sudden. It caught many off guard, including some Japanese game retailers. https://kotaku.com/nintendo-3ds-gets-sudden-massive-price-drop-5825495 One Japanese shop posted a notice that until August 11, when the price [[link]] drops ¥10,000 [[link]] (US$129), it will refrain from selling the 3DS. This is leading to speculation that retailers are being burdened with heavy inventories and might take a loss on 3DS units they’ve already purchased.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The 
Akihabara branch of 
Sofmap, one of the country’s biggest game retailers, sent out a tweet hours ago, notifying folks that the price of used 3DS units is being slashed—from ¥22,800 to ¥13,800. Sofmap said there are limited number of 3DS [[link]] units, encouraging Twitter followers to act quickly.
Other photos floating around online in Japan show game shops with large inventories of used 3DS units. One store is only buying 
back 3DS units for ¥1,000 or $12.87. This is anecdotal evidence at best, but with the low sales numbers, it’s hard not to think that the rot has already set in.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood.

The mobile interface is smooth and intuitive. I can play all my favorite slots on the go without experiencing any lag or glitches. The design is responsive and user-friendly, which makes gaming on my phone just as enjoyable as on my computer. The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
