Coffee Beans
The Nintendo 2DS is releasing next month at a suggested retail price of $129.99, $40 less than the suggested retail price of the regular Nintendo 3DS. It is probably what we will end up getting Bean 1 this holiday season for Christmas, unless there is some other shiny new toy that turns up between now and then.
There are already a few games on my list to get Bean 1 eventually, if not day one, and between now and Christmas I'll be paying closer attention to 2DS/3DS deals. If you currently own a Nintendo 3DS, or perhaps are planning to grab a Nintendo 2DS this holiday season, below are some current Nintendo 3DS games that are at least 20% off their MSRPs or List Prices.
Brew yourself some coffee and see if there are any games that jump out at you, or perhaps that you would recommend to others!

Caffeinated Thoughts
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is at the top of the list I have for Bean 1, with New Super Mario Bros. 2 close behind it. Bean 1 demoed Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for about 5 minutes at GameStop many months ago, and he still randomly requests to play the game.
I'm hoping that Nintendo of America and Amazon.com will get their systems situation worked out, and Amazon.com will start carrying Nintendo systems before this holiday season. Amazon does discount other game systems from time-to-time, and I think every penny helps. The $20 or $50 saved in the examples linked above would be enough to pick up an extra game or accessory.
Questions
Have any of you played and really enjoyed Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and think that a younger child would be able to play and beat it?
If you own a 3DS and have played any of the games listed, are there any you would/wouldn't recommend to new 3DS, or soon to be 2DS, owners?
