live in Russia @ don't buy consoles until they get hacked

Though for me this 3ds thingie looks same as anything Nintendo made over past years: outdated graphics and more unneeded feautures, which only a low percentage of games will use in a fun way.

no.
Reason? Region locked.
Anything else? No Project DIVA games.

... if they release maybe some Digimon Games, then I probably buy only the japanese 3DS. Otherwise, nope. also expensive~~~

P.S.: I don't like 3DS though and Taiko 3DS is nonsense o_o"

Not impressed or fazed by the new design and functions. Let's be honest here, all you really need a handheld console for is to play games while most of the unnecessary rubbish (including camera, internet etc.) can be accessed and utilized better on other devices.
If you like carrying 30 million gadgets around everywhere. There's a reason why phones destroyed PDAs.

My main hope is that all this online stuff will make for a better matchmaking experience than friend codes could.

got my 3DS last night, yea the release games aint the best but they are fun, i got street fighter and ridge racer, SF is a lot of fun and ridge racer is cool too.

tbh im enjoying it a lot, also i noticed that the 3D effect in games is a hell of a lot better than it was with the AR due to the low quality camera's

the bat life aint that annoying tbh for me, if im out for over 3 hours i will just turn off the wifi and 3D which gives around 5 hours life, and for other times the combo of the dock and the plug works out very good

so yea....my view is im enjoying it so it was worth getting ;)

Wait a couple of months. There's not a single good release game, early units often have design flaws, and they'll have lowered the price at least once by the time it has a decent library.

Well, PSP and NDS were must-buy consoles. And since 3DS are better than them I'm gonna buy it too.
The 3DS isn't going to support piracy unless you permanently disable wifi though, which means it won't have the emulation capabilities of the PSP which is a bit saddening

actually it just occurred to me that the homebrew community will in all likelihood figure out how to can all the 3DS's anti-"piracy" security

given that the 3DS was hacked to play DS games in about 3 days since its JP release, I'll remain optimistic

Got it.
SSFIV3D is pretty good, and visually pleasing.
The best thing by far though is Face Raiders. This shit is fucking awesome.

Okay after playing around with it on my brother's yesterday I take back what I said about it. The 3DS is FUCKING AWESOME!. Add a few more underlines and you'll see how awesome it is. It isn't as MetalMario claimed like a hologram, it is full properly proper 3D. Playing shit like PES really looks as if you're looking straight into the pitch. Also Face Raiders is the funniest thing ever.
I still would suggest waiting for more games though. The launch line up is terrible imo. Seriously, what's with that Pilotwings? It's just the Wii Sports Resort flying minigame with a few more vehicles. Weird.

"Lenticular Printing" has tis own, separate Wikipedia article, linked to from your article, and it's somewhat more detailed and interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_printing

I agree that the concept is pretty much the same, but the implementation seems distinct

After trying it out, I do want one. Waiting a bit before I get one, though, so I don't have no games for a long time (Devil Survivor Overclocked at the end of June).

The fact that the 3DS costs $249.99 (excluding tax) in my area is absolutely ridiculous, so no. I have a perfectly functional Nintendo DS Lite anyway, and I'd rather save up those ~283 bucks for a new iPod Touch. :3

Got myself one at launch and played around with it.

Took me a while to get used to the 3D but it's really good fun, especially with those cards they give you. I got Ghost Recon with it and, being a fan of Advanced Wars, am having lots of fun shooting things (admittedly only done the first couple of missions so far).

My biggest gripe so far is how it handles DS games, it's blurry. I guess my DS lite will not be collecting dust just yet.

You can disable that if you're okay with having the game letterboxed in the middle of the screen. Just hold start and select as you boot up the game.

250 dollars for a launch price does not seem that bad at all to me. Though, the launch titles do seem pretty weak, and every store I've been in has had plenty of units available, so it sure isn't facing the Wii's scarcity problem.

I'm gonna buy it when no one wants it anymore. I'm perfectly fine with my pal the Gameboy SP.

Holy shit, that's a great game library!
But honestly, i'll wait half a year longer for the Nintendo 3DS Lite
But if Devil Survivor 3DS comes out sooner than expected... i also want to see Yuzu's 3DS Cleavage...

I'm not going to get it until they come out with the 3DSi Lite XL Toasterbackpack in 6 months

Wikipedia, DS model release dates, NA/JP wrote:

Nintendo DS - 21 November 2004 (NA)/2 December 2004 (JP)
Nintendo DS Lite - 2 March 2006 (JP)/11 June 2006 (NA)
Nintendo DSi - 1 November 2008 (JP)/5 April 2009 (NA)
Nintendo DSi XL - 21 November 2009 (JP)/28 March 2010 (NA)
So, hey guys, release dates. The time between DS releases is a little ridiculous, yes, but it was only a problem with the DSi XL (especially considering the fact that they released info about the 3DS exactly one week away from the US launch of the DSi XL). I'd give it more than a few months. In fact, I'd give them more than a year, at least, seeing how it's a new console with a completely new library of games being released.

Also, I like the 3DS as is. I'm going to purchase one as soon as I have the money to.

My, without the Stretching on DS Titles, they look rather small on the screen. That's the change in resolution for you.

Not that I mind. OTO 2 and Okamiden are still fun, either way.

Due to the fact that my DS Lite seems to be dying (flickering screen, sometimes full-blown darkness and a random shut off that made me lose 2 hours worth of Pokemon breeding) I'm going to get one of these sooner then I planned.

I got one about 3 days after the launch! :D Face Raiders is freaking AWESOME! HAVE YOU SEEN THAT SHIIIITTT!

I got Nintendogs + Cats: Golden Retriever and Street Fighter 4. The cute and fluffiness of the dogs (and cats) are GREAT! Street Fighter 4 has great usage with the 3D.

found out today that Cave Story 3D is supposed to exist and it's NIS America's job to get it out the door for Q2

that is even more appealing to me than OOT

I'm not buying that. Ever. I don't like Nintendo or the Nintendo DS or this new 3D fad. I'm waiting for the NGP.

I have one and I have to say it's amazing, the Streetpass system that allows you to meet Mii's of other people and share Puzzle pieces with eachother just by walking past eachother is awesome and a friend and I meet up every day just for that. Face Raiders is fun for awhile but it's not really something you can play everywhere.

The only game I have is Super Monkey Ball 3D and it was over sort of fast so I can't judge on that but Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus Uprising and ofcourse Ocarina of Time look amazing

Let me add Kid Icarus: Uprising, Star Fox 64 3D and Super Mario Bros 3D to that.

I havn't heard anything about a Super Smash Bros. on the 3DS, though it wouldn't suprise me if they announce it tomorrow.

Also, (this is just my opinion) I doubt there will be a Nintendo 3DS Lite, I know the DS has been ''remade'' plenty of times too, but the 3DS pretty much already has every one of those ''upgrades'' each new version of the DS got.

The price really isn't that bad, and I think the release games are being underrated. I had lots of fun with Super Monkey Ball 3D and Super Street Fighter 3D, besides that I've seen Pilotwings Resort and it really shows the 3D at its best

There's been a serious decrease in Nintendo's profits over the last few years. The decline in the popularity of the Wii and the DS has predominantly affected this. To resolve this they've introduced this 3DS gimmick and have announced the Wii 2.

Except for the Micro I don't see a single one that wasn't an improvement.

Also yeah Nintendo likes money. being a company and all you know.
Though I'd rather have Nintendo receive my money than Sony/Microsoft.
