But you get so much more enjoyment out of consoles and games than stones.

True, but my parents think differently.
Everytime when they buy me a new console,
they always give a flashcart/hack that can
make me play games for free without having
to pay the price of the games.
I am now an anime dubber, cover singer and a fan of anime. I can still apply as a translator and grammar corrector, though.

*Shudder*
I hate those things. Anything that i to do with ripping off the games industry makes me rage.

So your parents are fine with stealing games?

Right, we are getting a bit off topic now.

If you are going to buy the console, and you could get 2 games with it, release games that is, what would they be and why?

OoT, and Kid Icarus, because those are the only two that are really appealing to me right now.


I have a flashcart. They're great.

And with a price of $350 for the Australian 3DS, it looks like I'm getting one for that too!
So you'd buy something that costs 350$, but wouldn't pay 30-40$ for one of its games?

Well first off, games will be at least $60 here, if not $80-100.

To answer your question however, yes. I will buy something for $350 if I want it, because I can. It's bad enough I have to pay so much for a console, so I'll cut my losses by not paying for the games.

But don't get your panties in a bunch, I always buy the Pokémon games. It's not GameFreak's fault that Nintendo are greedy.

That's interesting. I've never heard of parents that are basically letting their child steal.

And um, I'll agree with Speed on release games. I'm only really interested in Ocarina of Time and Kid Icarus. Those aren't release games, are they? Thought they came out later in the year...

Yeah, I don't think those are going to be out on Launch day, but they should follow sometime in the year. OoT on 3DS will be awesome.
Apparently my old sig was too big or something so I'm just putting this here because I'm too lazy to actually replace it properly right now.

Eh. There aren't any launch games that I want. :/ When they are released, I will be picking up Animal Crossing and Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright. :Dv

ALSO. GUYS.

GUYS.

I had an epiphany the other day. Some people pay two hundred dollars for a pair of sunglasses, hundreds more for a pair of jeans, and even thousands of dollars for a pair of shoes.

Obviously those people are muy loco, but $350 is nothing if you're really passionate about what you're buying. I bet everyone who bought an iPad would kill to have payed only $350 ( unless they got it off eBay or sumzeen ).

I'm really going to wait and see before I buy it, even once I do have the money. I really want to see two factors before deciding:

1. How well the 3D actually works, and if it's any huge graphical improvement. 3D has been tried a few times before with games, and never worked well. Hopefully this time will be different.

2. What games end up getting released for it. I probably won't spring for one until I see some games that catch my eye. I'm hoping for a good Shin Megami Tensei title. Either a new one, or maybe remakes of the first two games, since they never got a US release. A Devil Survivor or Strange Journey remake probably wouldn't cut it for me, though.

No, because $350 is still $350.

Quote FTW.

I agree with Calibri. Just because you can explain other peoples buying methords, doesn't mean it justifies the price. I have never bought shoes/shirt/polo/jeans/what ever that have individually cost a stupid amount. I never see the point, since it will just get ruined down the line.

This question is a amazingly hard for me to answer. The launch games are... disappointing, to say the least. I simply don't understand using Kid Icarus and OoT as your main selling points, then release months after the 3DS hits? I'm honestly only buying the handheld because I KNOW Nintendo will pull a "Wii" and have a shortage of 3DSs for months. The only launch game I'm semi-interested in is SSF4 3D, but I hear the 3D is really lackluster in the side-scrolling mode and I refuse to play a fighting game in an "over the shoulder" view.

This did, however, tickle my fancies. :)

I'm probably going to end up waiting for another color as well. Or until Pokemon is announced on the 3DS, which is what I did with the DS. I didn't get one til I read the news about DP being released on it. I used to get this weird hatred for new consoles when I was younger. I didn't like change.

I'll be buying this. In fact, I've already pre-ordered it from the USA website.
My parents are generous enough to buy me this awesome console for
the brilliant results I've had in my exams.
Now, the problem is, I MAY have the console faster than most people,
but I won't be getting the games anytime soon.

If I buy the 3DS games, that'll be against the rules of my family. (Motto: Video games aren't worth the money; money can be used to buy better items like diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, etc.)
I need to wait for the 3DS R4... I wonder how long it'll take...
First of all, Nintendo already stated that this is their best console so far regarding anti-piracy system, so you wont probably be seeing R4 pretty soon on 3DS, you already stated that you pre-ordered from USA website, does that mean you live in Europe or any other country that's not in North America? because 3DS its region locked, so you will find yourself in need to order games from U.S. as well

I'm hoping the third game to Black and White (THERE WILL BE ONE!) will be on the 3DS, so I'll get it. I like how the insides are black for a more cinematic effect but the outsides have the splash of colour. The purple one looks nice, but I'll be going with blue when I get mine. Hopefully by then, they'll be cheaper, it should be 2 years when "Pokemon Grey" will come out. Or maybe the 3DS2/XL will be out by then and I'll get that ^_^

How long do you think the 3DS' timeline will be? I'm hoping it's long, 10 years+ Nintendo need to take a break/what else can they come up with now? o_O

That's all well and good for them to be saying that. Besides, the likely method of homebrew applications and other things on the 3DS will probably not be the flashcart style.

Very easy to answer since the launch up isn't that great there are two very clear frontrunners.

Nintendogs
Street Fighter 4

I'll only get one of them though.
