Wal-Mart has announced an early price drop for the Nintendo 3DS, this will bring their price for it to $169.96. We have received word that while not every store has made this move, most of them have.

If you are able to get one early, you might still be able to take advantage of Nintendo’s early adopter offer of 20 free downloadable games. Of course, we can’t guarantee that you will actually get the games, but if you act quickly it is worth a try.
