Should you buy a 3DS or not?
Total votes: 450
The compensation for us early adopters is 20 free GBA and NES games (50/50 split), BTW. About $50 total was saved over here due to a Target deal anyways. So, 20 free games - all of which are pretty solid first-party titles so far - for $30 is satisfying for me.awp wrote:

Anyways, yes, this was badly needed. $170 is similar to the price of what the various DS models were, so this is a very good price.
P.S. Also, Super Mario 3D Land is confirmed for November, and Mario Kart 7 for December.
I bought the 3ds just for The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of time, was worth the money. If I was still in LA on the 12th august, I would have totally waited to purchase it on that date.
Legend of Zelda has been the most substantial 3DS Purchase I've made so far. It's pretty much had a graphical overhaul (OHGOD TEXTURES) and it includes both the original and Master Quest.
I also got an Ocarina of Time, but no luck playing it, yet.

I plan to get one at that price, but I'm probably just going to play DS games on it for now until Starfox/Cave Story/Mario/Kiddick
That's exactly what I've been doing, actually. The circle pad is so much more comfortable than the DS's control pad.awp wrote:

I would pay extra 100$ for Camelot to release Golden Sun for 3DS :c That'd made quite a lot people purchase the 3DS I believe.
I'm still waiting for Cave Story. That'll be all I play for some time when it's released.
Well, there's something.Nintendo Australia wrote:
Nintendo Australia plan to offer an exclusive Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program to consumers who have purchased the Nintendo 3DS at the original launch price. The program will enable those Nintendo 3DS owners to download 10 NES™ games and 10 Game Boy™ and Game Boy Advance™ games for free from the Nintendo eShop.
These free games are available to anyone who owns a Nintendo 3DS system and uses a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before the price drop on 12 August. These users will automatically be registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program. The program contains two elements:
1. Starting 1 September, Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors will be able to download 10 NES Virtual Console™ games at no charge and before they are available in the Nintendo eShop to the general public. These games, including Super Mario Bros.™, Donkey Kong Jr.™, Balloon Fight™, Ice Climber™ and The Legend of Zelda™, are slated to become paid downloadable games, but Ambassadors get them early for free. Once the paid versions of the games are posted to the Nintendo eShop later in the year, the updated versions will be available to Ambassadors for download at no cost.
2. By the end of 2011, Nintendo will provide Ambassadors with 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games. These include games like Yoshi’s Island™: Super Mario™ Advance 3, Mario Kart™: Super Circuit, Metroid™ Fusion, WarioWare™ Inc.: Minigame Mania and Mario vs. Donkey Kong™. These games will be available exclusively to Ambassadors, and Nintendo currently has no plans to make these 10 games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future.
Just got my 3DS. I'm actually very happy about this purchase.
Ahaha! GBA games yeeeaaah!
Super CIcuit go go go racing mario yeah!

Golden Sun ftw, also hope they release some advanced wars.
The true, albeit obvious, reason for leaving out the GBA slot revealed.
I would recommend it if you want the games. I've tried it and the 3D works well (Which is important when you wear prescription glasses, the other alternatives don't fit very well), but it's really just a gimmick that doesn't add a lot to the gameplay. It is nice to look at, but I personally would prefer higher detail over 3D so I'm going with the PSV when it comes out.
Or I may end up getting both, with that price drop I can probably afford it... Cave Story 3D might be worth that. Would be a shame to waste the XL I already have though, maybe there's a good trade-in option somewhere.

apparently I'm immune or at least pretty resistant to 3D headaches. I played for an hour or so and didn't feel anything. Also dicking around on the 3D camera is neat as long as you don't allow common sense to spoil the novelty of it
I don't approve of Portable 3D Devices. Although it'll be better if it gets shipped to PH bleh.
Uhh you can buy a 3DS in the Philippines?Haseo wrote:

Initially I got hyped real badly for it, but then it all subsided when the retail prices first popped up. No way in hell I would pay €249,90 for a console that's worth €189 in US currency. The initial list of games didn't please me at all either.
Still not willing to spend my money on it. Maybe once the presumable 3DS Lite comes out... nah, rather wait for the Wii U.

The 3DS is already pretty small - almost uncomfortably so, I'd argue. Very little of the inner surface area is not occupied by screens or buttons
Yeah, it's actually about as small as a DS Lite. It's probably a tad bigger but it still fits into my old DS Lite case.awp wrote:

I doubt they'll do a Lite version specifically, but there'll presumably be a Version 2 of some kind eventually. It's just the way they do handhelds. I do wonder about this one though, just because the 3DS has so under-performed compared to their expectations. I don't know if that suggests a revision sooner or no revision at all, but I imagine it'll have a big impact on their plans one way or the other.
That's not very pretty.
Yes, I buy it already and I and a wonder;) graphics beautifull but the pictures are a little bad and the games you buy them at 50 euros each (that comes to mind issues for the ds 3d r5) 
The Nintendo Game Gear 3D
naw man it has the look and feel of a game gear now
Going to wait for KH 3DS to come out and get a 3DS way sooner for that.
Then I might be able to judge... When it comes out, of course.
Needs more Battery Life, not eye-killing quality.
Oooh, Pokemon Rumbles.

SF643D tomorrow, yesss
If that second stick isn't one big "Yeah, we're planning a new model" sign, I don't know what is.
I'll be interested when the new Mario and Kid Icarus games are out, and so long as Nintendo can keep a good stream of content coming themselves, that should be enough to keep me happy. 2/3 of my DS & Wii libraries are their stuff anyway.

And now the Square fangirls can start making all sorts of crazy new slash fiction. Check the upper left for a new face in Dream Drop Distance.
Oh God It's Neku.
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PUTTING NEKU INTO KH, INSTEAD OF GIVING HIM HIS OWN SEQUEL.

I don't think TWEWY was meant for a sequel anyway.
The game itself was already complete.
That being said, it would be interesting to see how KH will develop the world. Noise-Heartless?
Screw that. I forgot that they don't make original SquareEnix worlds for KH. We'll likely get an Auron.

I already read that he just shows up in Traverse Town here. It would be cool if SE started incorporating some levels based on their better non-FF games once they run out of good Disney movies to use. I still just want some Pixar stuff the most, though.NoHItter wrote:

A sequel was announced but then scrapped because SE wanted to capitalize on their big sellers.
Just so you know.
Where does DDD fit in the timeline, anyway? Looks like they're using the old (old as in historical circa KH1) model for Sora, yet Riku looks the oldest he's been to date
Probably set in some kind of virtual/dream/virtual-dream world
I hope at least one of these games (maybe not until the real KH3) gets some Muppet cameos. Probably not a whole Muppet world, but a Muppet Theater building would be a nice addition to a Traverse-like world.

3D is set after the events of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. And the rest I'll put in spoilers:
SPOILER
Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_He ... p_Distance
Following the destruction of "Ansem" and Xemnas at the hands of Sora and Riku, Xehanort is revived. In response, Yen Sid decides to put Sora and Riku through the Mark of Mastery Exam in order to become full-fledged Keyblade Masters and counter Xehanort's threat...So maybe this game takes place just before the Mark of Mastery and prepares Sora and Riku to it in virtual spaces?
...According to an interview, Nomura said the game will take part, at least partially, on the Mark of Mastery.

Maybe. I seem to be playing handhelds a lot more often, but I m definitely going to wait for a price drop and more games to come out. The only game that I m REALLY interested in is Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked. Just not enough good games yet to make it a buy.
