There are good games for 3DS like Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Land, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil Revelations and more are coming. But I dunno about spending all your money on it.

You can make your very own Mario Kart 9 by taping your copy of Mario Kart 7 to 2/7 of another copy of Mario Kart 7. And then you just have to mod your 3DS so the new cart fits.

Yeah it's nice purchase if you have extra money and you like games from Nintendo.

Confused it with Mario Party 9

In other news: if you're part of Club Nintendo, you can get free Kid Icarus: Uprising cards. *waiting for mine even though I'm not getting the game (yet)*
mm201
Then get on more often! >_<

What if we're actually around but nobody calls a kartparty because they think nobody is around?

Buy 3DS if you want games for 3DS. I'm currently slightly (not much) regretful since I never use it.

Oh yeah... So did anyone get Kid Icarus: Uprising? If so, thoughts on it?

Oops... I thought it was out already... Well anyway, so IS anyone getting it?
CNM501
I was thinking of getting Kid Icarus but then I saw Mario Open Tennis... I want that instead. LOL
Dieathan
I'm interested in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Also, I just realised that Rhythm Thief is coming out in a few weeks. I'll probably check that out as well.
NaomiMinette
I'm also interested in Rhythm Thief. Hopefully there will be a demo.

Just beat all of Super Mario 3D Land. Both with Mario and Luigi, including S8-Crown. Time to get back to Shinobi.

Hahah, Blaze and I were talking about SM3DL too.

Welcome to the 100% club :3

Did you get Crownx3 lives?

Eh... I'm not getting it unless I'm convinced it's not just a simple shooter/beat-'em-up. I know you can up the difficulty, but what I mean is if you can use powerups during flying and/or land battles.

It's not even out here yet. Yes, more MK victi--I mean--racers :D

Let's talk about Heroes of Ruin for a second, because I am a bit interested in this game.
To be honest i don't know much about it except that the gameplay is similar to Diablo (at least i think it is). I'm not sure if it has random dungeons like Diablo but everything else seems similar.
I think it would be nice if this game has a MP where you could play with firends to kill hard monsters and so on but this game is published by Square and developed by n-space.
I don't know any good game from n-space ... they did crap like Duke Nukem Time to Kill and those CoD ports for the DS. They all sucked D:

I just wanna know what you guys think of it ^^

"The game also features a memoir function where players can see the overall plot of the entire Kingdom Hearts series..."

Cool~

Oh crap... I wasn't aware of this...

Just wondering though: do you have to play a previous game to understand this one, or does it not matter?
Azure_Kite
Each Monster hunte game is generally a self-contained game, where you wash ashore/drift into the village as a wanderer, and make a name for yourself in the respective village.

I'm sure these ones will be no different.
xerxes_oli
AH! Theatrhythm, Kingdom Hearts, Epic Mickey Power of Illusions, Zero Escape, the list goes on and on! It's going to be a good year for the the 3DS :)
Dieathan
Just beat Shinobi. Realised I was near the end of the game actually. I finished it with plenty of Save & Quit abuse involved to save lives and having to do the whole level over again.
Still need to get Snake Eater 3D and before any of you ask, no Kid Icarus: Uprising is not out here yet. It's coming this week though.

Do you have played it on PS2? or do you have a PS3 or Xbox? because the HD Remake has the same price and it has 3 MGS games (mgs3 included with MG1 and 2).

Snake Eater 3D got pretty bad reviews so I wouldn't suggest bying it. It has less content than PS2 and HD versions and the control scheme is bad.
-kevincela-
Just bought Kid Icarus. Man,it's amazing! D:
Really well done,and I don't find many problems regarding the controls (like many people were saying)

I've played the original on PS2 but not Substinence. Can't be bothered with the HD Collection because MGS2 means dealing with Raiden for the rest of the game after about 2 hours into it and I can't be bothered with Peace Walker for some reason.
I mean, it hasn't even been a whole year since I played and finished Snake Eater on PS2. This is my issue with games I technically already have. I simply cannot tell whether I should buy a rerelease or not unless they add plenty of new content rather than porting it (Zelda and Star Fox were no-brainers though. I bought both.)
I hear that it's not perfect but still a great port. Besides, I still need to get The Last Story anyway.

I didn't buy it at first because it was too expensive. Now, if I buy it, a new DS will come out in a week and I will be behind again. No use trying to keep up ._. Also, the 3D hurts my head. Not worth it for me...
NaomiMinette
You don't HAVE to play with the 3D effects. Just saying.
Soaprman
I usually play with the 3D turned off because I like holding it at weird angles that aren't 3D friendly. But sometimes I turn it on when something happens that gets me thinking "wonder how cool this would look in 3D".

The battery life's also not so bad if you play with the 3D off and the brightness on a lower-than-maximum setting (I use brightness 2 or 1 depending on the lighting in the room).
NaomiMinette
Yeah, I don't use 3D all that much either, just only when I NEED it. I sometimes cut it on while I'm charging my 3DS, though.

I only use 1 when not playing with a charger, regardless of my location. Oddly enough, I rarely use 5 even WITH a charger.

I barely even use my 3DS, prefer the PSVita.

I use the 3D almost all the time and strangley enough it works out fine for me without any problems. I only ever play with it off when the battery starts to get low or when I turn the slider down by accident without noticing.
Pokebis
Me too. People just suck at using their eyes. I've never had problems with it. Four hours full blast motha' fucka'z.

Well, that seems to be the main difference between my DS Lite and a 3DS, so wouldn't want to spend that much money on a feature I won't even use.
NaomiMinette
Yeah, but some games are exclusive to the 3DS, so I don't even think of it as a DS Lite when I don't use the 3D effects.
Shohei Ohtani
You know what I hate about the 3D, though?

I'm just playing, and someone walks by.

The first thing they do. . . *plop* turn off the 3D effect ;~;.

For most Kartparties, I just feel random impulses to scream it into modhelp. I generally do it at like, 5-8PM :>
Soaprman
I've tried a few times but never had any luck. I think my schedule isn't aligning with anyone else's very well these days! Why can't everyone live in my timezone and have my schedule? Argh! Who came up with the idea to give people the ability to not be on my schedule anyway? I'm going to sue that motherfucker into oblivion.

It's been exactly one year since the Nintendo 3DS system launched across North America on March 27, 2011. In that time, millions of people like you have discovered the fun of Nintendo 3DS.

To help celebrate this special anniversary, a surprise visitor is waiting to greet you in StreetPass Mii Plaza.

His face will be familiar to Nintendo fans, and you’ll see that he’s dressed for the occasion!

Slightly disappointed after finding out who Europe and Japan got...meh
NaomiMinette
Lemme guess... We get Reggie while they get... uhh... whoever runs Nintendo there.

Yep, it's Reggie. But it's special shiny golden Reggie with kung-fu action Kid Icarus promotion.

So I bought Resident Evil Revelations. It's quite fun, and the Raid Mode is excellent.

The only gripe I have is that the subbers were CLEARLY asleep or didn't know English very well; spelling errors, incorrect grammar, words are dropped entirely from the sub, when everything up to said points has followed dialogue.

But, minor things.
NaomiMinette
Any highlights on Kid Icarus: Uprising's good points?
Haneii
Kyaaaaaaaa~ There are remixed tracks from TWEWY (actually I only watched a clip with "Calling"...had to stop myelf) in KH3D.

Ruined the OP for myself...I teared up. This is so unfair >_<
Shohei Ohtani
I haven't played it, but people are all "omgomgomg" because of multiplayer and something about "I CAN FEEL THE NOSTALGIA" or something (even though most people never played the original until after Pit was announced for brawl .-.)

The game is super addicting because of its "Fiend's Cauldron" difficulty feature, it makes you want to replay levels multiple times for greater challenges and prizes. The achievements are definitely an incentive to try different challenges because you get power up rewards and sometimes even new weapons. Everyday we get a new weapon crystal from Lady Pauletena via spot pass and some are really awesome! The voice acting is cheesy, but fun, its like having nonstop cut scenes without slowing down the game and action. The multiplayer is great and there is always hearts (cash) and secret reward given out after every match. There's soo much more to it than i can explain and I'm barely halfway through the main game!

I'm aware that you can raise the difficulty level, and I know the action is probably hectic on the highest difficulty and probably multiplayer, but I mean like... do we get to use power-ups found on the field/sky, if any, for both single- and multi-player? If not, I'm still not convinced.

Power ups? As in the "spell" like things you see in the Multiplayer preview video? You get to use those in Land Battles in both single and multiplayer. As for sky battles, you can only use one *clear screen* skill. Each Power up has levels and amount of uses, but also means bigger blocks. (You get a grid and you place what power ups you want to use, like a puzzle)

Stat upgrades depend on weapons (includes hp boost, def boost, speed boost, status attack, etc), and those can be played around with via weapon fusion.

Wanna point out that power ups and weapons you earn in multiplayer can be used in single player and vice versa.
xerxes_oli
Of course some Powers are block from multiplayer matches since they would give an unfair advantage but most are usable, the 3 on 3 are super fun and balanced since even if you have the strongest weapon in the whole team, if you die they lose tons of health, you can be the biggest weakness, it really takes a lot of thinking, which is actually fun.
NaomiMinette
*sigh* They should've released a demo in the eShop...

Downloaded the Resident evil revelations demo~ hopefully going to get kid icarus :)
Azure_Kite
Got Kid Icarus now, I'm up to chapter 16 but damn, the amount of Fourth Wall obliteration is hilarious. The dialogue in the Story mode is light and humourous, and it's made me laugh quite a few times. And I rarely laugh in real life.

G FORCES, IN MY FAAAAAAAAACE.

So, here's the list of online games I own, if ever anyone wishes to play with me or something.

Resident Evil - The Mercenaries 3D
Resident Evil - Revelations
Dead or Alive - Dimensions
Super Street Fighter VI
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Starfox 3D

I also have Doctor Lautrec, Super Monkey Ball 3D and Samurai Warriors - Chronicles, but they're Single Player.
Irisu_old
Yeah finally got Kid Icarus (thank god they had a discount...) love the story so far and I'm enjoying the dialogue~

Also Kid Icarus is an amazing game, I've been playing it for a while now and I've enjoyed it. It's slightly annoying for a left hander like myself but you get used to it (you are slightly inaccurate during attacks though)
Azure_Kite
Personally, I haven't had any problem with the control scheme; I know in some reviews some people have been complaining about hand cramps. 89/69/24 Treasure Hunt achievements later, and I can pass some 9.0 intensity levels without issue.

Multiplayer is amazingly fast paced and balanced. I love it just for the sheer fun of it all.

Finally completed RE: Revelations and what do i get? Multiplayer Cooperation mode xD I wish i had that earlier.

My Conclusion: Nice game but some places are unfair. It isn't scary/creepy after you have enough ammonition. Unnecessary touchscreen bullshit and no real riddles :/. Nice story/twists and action scenes. Many unlockable stuff :D
