Silver Soul of Johto March 19th, 2011 5:50 AM

My Gamecube still works. My Playstation on the other hand crapped out a long time ago. luckily I got the Playstation 3 that is backwards compatable so I can still play the old Disgaea, Katamari, Twisted metal, Silent hill, and Okami! I enjoyed the Gamecube because of how many people can be on it at once instead of everyone waiting around to take turns

Kenshin5 March 19th, 2011 7:22 AM

My Gamecube has been dead for several years now. I kind of Wish it still worked so I could play Colosseum and XD from time to time.

Silver Soul of Johto March 19th, 2011 7:46 AM

D: awwu, I donno what I'd do if mine died! I have all the resident evils for mine! -__-

I remember watching X-Play a long time ago and they where running 'tests' on the Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube and when being dropped and being hammered to death, the Gamecube kept kicking!

.Fenris March 19th, 2011 7:57 AM

Oh man, I'm thinking about selling my gamecube and some of my games.

Witch March 19th, 2011 8:27 AM

D: hope you don't plan on trading it in to Gamestop. prepare to get next to nothing!

The only game I saw that I might want to play on it is the Cave Story port, but it's still not worth it . . . they're selling 3DS systems here for $480, and I, like so many others here, have a several-years-old Lite which is still in perfect working order, albeit somewhat lacking in the battery life department.

So nah, no 3DS for me. Not worth it. And then Nintendo's gonna go and put a Pokemon game out in 3DS exclusively, and I'm gonna go 'NOOOOOOOO' and have to buy one. :(

Holy **** 0____0 That's unreal!
They are something like $240 over here. I've decided that for right now I'm gonna hit up the pawnshop and get me a used DSlite charger (or gamestop, but that's farther away) and eventually go to this game store in the mall called 3DGames. I talked to a guy there once and he said the store has a tech that will fix old broken systems and a DSlite is standard like $20. So I think I'm gonna have them price out my DSlite whenever I get the chance.

Bloo March 19th, 2011 4:04 PM

I plan on trading in my DS Lite for a 3DS. I think the 3DS opens up a lot of new gaming opportunities, and I'm looking forward to getting it. It's an altogether more powerful device. I also can't use WiFi on my current DS because of my WiFi's security, WPA2, so when I get it I can play Pokemon on my DS, lol. I'm also looking forward to playing games in 3D, too.

Cherrim March 19th, 2011 4:28 PM

I just got a new DSi last weekend. :/ I think the 3DS is ugly right now and none of the games I want are going to be coming out any time soon so I'm gonna try my best to wait for the inevitable "3DS Lite".

Logiedan March 19th, 2011 4:32 PM

I'm hoping to get the Paper Mario for the 3DS. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. :C

Cherrim March 19th, 2011 4:34 PM

Omg I can't wait for that one too. That game, the Layton vs Phoenix Wright game, and Kingdom Hearts is what I'll get the 3DS for. n_n

Luck March 19th, 2011 4:35 PM

I'll be waiting for the 3DSLite as well, although a 2 year+ backlog may be too much at the beginning. I never played Layton or Paper Mario so I don't care for the 3DS versions.

And I still believe that Final Fantasy Tactics is the best Final Fantasy game. Too bad Tactics Advance didn't follow in its footsteps.

Nintendo announced that they wouldn't be trying to make a new model for at least a while. You can read about this here. You might not be able to get a more compact version on the 3DS for a while, but if you think it's worth the wait, go for it.

Mr Cat Dog March 19th, 2011 4:38 PM

Apart from Pokemon Black, which I'm playing now, the last game I played on the DS was probably Mario Kart. And that was at least a year ago. I don't even follow console news as much as I used to, although my local HMV is offering free demonstrations of the 3DS until its debut next Friday - over here at least! Might give them a go to see what all the fuss is about: is it really very different?

Since they region-locked the damn thing, I have no reason to really buy one until the new Kingdom Hearts game comes out in English, which could be quite a while from now soooo I have no issues waiting like a year or two. :P Worst case, I pick it up after a price drop rather than get a new system.

Kenshin5 March 19th, 2011 4:45 PM

I am just waiting for Megaman Legends 3 too come out. I have been waiting for years for a new one. Paper Mario 3DS looks great as well.

bobandbill March 19th, 2011 5:07 PM

I preordered my 3DS yesterday - I have a gift card that needed using soon so I used it for that - getting the 3DS in Australia with a game and accessary pack for pre-ordering for only a little more than the standard 3DS price in America is not bad at all methinks. =D Only getting one of th launch titles (Street Fighters) - like others I'm waiting for stuff like OoT and Paper Mario which looks like TTYD in gameplay omgefwfjkhwefjhwe =D

Already tried it out at a demo and it is pretty darn good have to say - 3D effect is donee well as is the slider for it and one's eyes adjust to it pretty quickly. Blue is superior btw.

Thomas March 19th, 2011 5:11 PM

I paid for my Black 3DS in full yesterday, so next Sunday I just have to go in the store and pick it up...the only DS game I have is Pokemon White...I really won't buy another one until I beat that one...and that will be a WHILE...the way I've been playing games recently. XD

countryemo March 19th, 2011 10:59 PM

I agree the Gamcube / ps2 (never rely played or owned but so what) was like the best gamming time. So many good games and awesomeness

Eh dont see what the big deal is with 'big' stuff. Ill be getting a 3DS, idc if it would be like a inch thick, ok maybe a lil, but ill get used to it.
Not allot of good release games :o but we'll live really. we got pokemon! :D
/I really hope pokemon dosent go full 3d. and the scaling. dsi to xl dosent really stretch so it works.

ill prob be getting. The pilot wings resort, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, OoT (didnt play 64, not really the GC, so maybe this one. I still think windwaker is better >.>)
super mario ??? (if that was for the 3DS) and ill try out Kindom Hearts. ect

cant wait :3

インフェルノの津波 March 20th, 2011 12:13 AM

Well it looks like I'm officially broke this month, so I'll have to wait for the 3DS till next month.

Though I probably wasn't going to get it anyway, I think the line at my Gamestop (not sure, wasn;t paying attention) started already.

I hope this isn't like Halo Reach.

Silver Soul of Johto March 20th, 2011 4:27 AM

I love hanging out for midnight releases. It's pretty fun until people show up with squirt guns in the middle of winter.

Witch March 20th, 2011 6:45 AM

I normally work all the Midnight releases. The customers are normally pretty cool & everything. The best one I've worked so far was Halo 3

Meganium March 20th, 2011 6:58 AM

Some guy at my local swap meet was selling his game cube for $15. It comes with 2 games and a controller. He was also selling Game Boys for $10 and GB games for $3. I was going to buy them and grab all of the games but...1. I'm concerned about their status, he won't give me a guarantee of they work or not. and 2. I'm a poor college student. >_>
-------
I'm more likely to get a DSi probably next week. The 3DS can wait another year. xD

This is pretty much my sole reasoning for really wanting a 3DS. I mean, my DSlite is crap but I could just get a new DSlite. XD;

Before I heard that MML3 was in the making and for the 3DS, I thought the 3DS was extremely lame. Then I saw MML3 being advertised and everything changed.. XD;

AshPikastar March 20th, 2011 10:21 AM

I wanted the 3DS because I think there was Pit game coming out for it. I'll most likely will get the 3DS later on.

I can't wait till Kingdom Hearts for the 3DS either. When is it coming out? I'm feeling lazy today XD. A lot of the 3DS games seem very enticing, in my opinion, and I'm looking forward to getting one.

I just wish they had more info out right now outside of the introduction of a new character Aero.

That's about all the info on it thus far. The release date is TBA.

Raiskit March 20th, 2011 11:38 AM

I want the 3DS solely for the Phoenix Wright game. But that'll hafta wait a loooong while. ;;

Witch March 20th, 2011 3:08 PM

I would only get it for that resident evil merc game :3 /weskerfangirling

Charizard★ March 20th, 2011 3:12 PM

*pops in*

So yea, I was walking in the park by my house and I found a DSi with a Pokemon White in it......guess what I did with it? :D


And a 3DS sounds a bit cool, altho I don't think I would want it for any reason.

Witch March 20th, 2011 3:23 PM

Nice!!! The only cool stuff I've found on the ground was a gameboy advance with ruby & $20 :D

WriteThemWrong March 20th, 2011 3:36 PM

cause people will take them and not think twice about it

I guess. Did you make sure that it didn't belong to anyone in proximity of where you are? You wouldn't want to be a thief, but then again, if it wasn't anyone's, someone else probably would've taken it...

Flamboyant March 20th, 2011 5:02 PM

Well the thing is, with valuables like that, anybody could claim it :/
You know, if you ask people if they dropped 20$, there are high chances of a positive answer xD
But yeah, sucks for the person who lost it... I'd be so mad.

Witch March 20th, 2011 5:29 PM

Sure, who wouldn't say they lost something just to intern, take it from you?
