    • I have to say...all my hype for the 3DS drained when I saw the launch lineup. I wasn't even that turned off by the price, but the fact that there are no good games at launch (even OoT might have persuaded me to jump at launch, and I've played that game multiple times) makes me want to wait until some other games like Zelda/Star Fox/Kid Icarus come out before jumping on the 3DS. Plus they'll have all the online infrastructure and eShop set up at that point.

    • About time you showed up, Morkula! XD

    I do agree. The release titles, IMO and for my personal gaming taste, aren't the best that could be released. The only reason I am getting the 3DS on release date, is because that is the only time I can get the discount and I am not even buying ANY games with it! XD.
    But I can't pass off £100 for it.​

    • Yeah, I agree with Morkula, there don't seem to be any good games out on the release date. All of the great games that got me really excited about the 3DS are out later in the year. Hopefully something will be brought forward, or else there better be some good stuff on the download shop.

    By the way Captain Fabio, the wikipedia page seems to have a lot of release dates on it which you could add to the first page.

    If you'd actually looked at the article, you'd have seen that you don't. But whatever, I was just trying to help.

    No no, don't take my comment the wrong way. Please don't.
    If I seemed short, sorry, I am just rather stressed at the moment! :P

    Which parts did you mean? Thank you for the input.​

    I'm more hyped for the hardware and AR games than I am for the launch games. Preordered a while back, and I'm following through with that, but I'm not sure whether I'll get a game right off the bat. I may simply have to play Pokemon until Paper Mario comes out! Admittedly Pilotwings, that samurai thingie and Steel Diver seem interesting. SSFIV and Nintendogs don't appeal to me much. The rest seems to be proof that shovelware will indeed exist for this system.

    Japanese release in 10 hours. :D AR Graffiti looks really amusing.

    I'm crying tears of joy with you! (;
    I remember playing Street Fighter at a hockey rink that I use to go to and just played for hours straight. It's definitely the first game that I'm going to get when I purchase my 3DS!

    I changed my mind and decided to go for Cosmos Black when I saw Aqua Blue when I saw some videos people did of the Japanese Aqua blue console a few days ago. It kinda looks like a plastic toy IMO. xD

    I'd go for black, but I think I'll hold on to see if they release a white version, as that is the quintessential DS colour for me.
