Anyone else regretting buying their 3DS?

Be honest... we paid $250 for what exactly. Ocarina of Time was a nice feature... but that is already getting old. The weekly 3DS store release are nothing short of a bad joke.

No one held a gun to my head but I am already looking to unload this thing. What did we pay $250 for?

This is exactly why I didn't buy one yet. There's hardly any games out for it yet, and by the time they do, the 3DS will probably be cheaper.

Nope. I only have 3 retail games and loving it. You need to remember that when buying a gaming system early on in its life span means that you will probably have to do some waiting before any good games show up.

The question here is; Anyone else regret buying their 3DS, or, Anyone else regret buying their 3DS NOW?

To be quite honest, I might have regretted my purchase some time during the first few days of ownership. But then I got Ocarina of Time, now I can't put the 3DS down. Seriously, that is about all I need and now that I've seen how intuitive the system handles aiming (gyroscope thing), I can't wait for Star Fox. Also, I have to admit I doubted the cradle, but the thing is just awesome, I'm yet to have the 3DS die on me and I get to enjoy almost full brightness with the occasional 3D viewing.

It's been the platform I've been playing the most this year.

Pilotwings Resort is still something I have to finish, I haven't done the free flight mode collecting nor have I got 3 stars on all the challenges. I still play Super Street Fighter IV 3D time to time and I beat The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (my first time playing OoT) and now I'm going to do the Master Quest version. I downloaded Shantae: Risky's Revenge, Plants vs Zombies and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, all of which I haven't played before, so I have that to do. I still haven't finished Pokemon Black or Dragon Quest IX, so I have those as well. SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked is releasing in August, so I have that to look forward to as well since I never got a chance to play it on the DS. Then I have Super Mario 3D, Mario Kart 3D, Tales of the Abyss and more to look forward to during the Fall.

I'm not regretting it thus far.

I only have OoT so far and I think the system looks to be quite awesome. Great games are coming.

Since I don't think I'll get a much better deal than I did anytime soon, I don't regret getting one.

No.

The 3DS has many great games lined up to come out in the future. I, for one, can hold onto my console for a few more months to wait for the good games to come out. Honestly I don't understand how I could regret it.

No, I don't regret buying a 3ds. I love it to pieces.:)

No I don't regret it. So far I have played a fair amount of the games available and have been impressed. I agree that the lineup has hit a bit of a snag with nothing major really coming out in the near future. However I have been more than happy to spen dmy money in the eshop instead of at reail now. I never had a DSi so I was not able to experience a good number of DSiWare games that had always intrigued me. Now I have that ability. Being able to play games like Cave Story, Santae, Art Style, etc help to offset there not being a lot available at retail. Plus while there is nothing major coming out at the moment. Coem Sept there will be the bigs one like Star Fox, etc that will remind you of why you bought a 3DS.

No, too busy having fun playing the games for it, and I got $50 off with a certificate anyway, so I didn't even pay full price. Lots of fun games, not just Zelda.

If you're getting tired of Ocarina of Time, get more games. I for one regret nothing. I'm loving it.

I feel at a loss of words on why you feel that way.

I love my 3DS.

It's great if you don't already own any kind of DS.

Just keep it and wait for Mario 3D, Mario Kart 3D and Kid icarus.

Then next year we'll get Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, etc.

Nope. I bought both OoT 3DS for it and Dead or Alive:Dimensions. I also downloaded Kirby's Dreamland,Super Mario Land and Link's Awakening from the 3DS shop. I dont regret buying it at all.

To be honest, I do just a tad bit. Games are not much of a problem, I got 5 which were all great in their own ways, its just the system itself. The 3d viewing angle is fine if I'm at home and not moving, but forget it if im on the go. Battery life is also pretty bad. The top screen imprints from the bottom is also a disappointment. I probably should have waited for the next iteration, but its not too bad. I still have fun with it, and once the next updated 3ds comes out, I'll probably trade this one in for it. The difference may be what 50-100$ to play a 3ds for the first 2 years? Not too bad.

you payed 250 to experience 3d without glasses...its like paying 100 dollars to go to disneyland.

i had 3 vists to disneyland... pilotwings, rayman 3d, and zelda ocarina of time.... so i got my 300$ moneys worth 8)

also the virtual console is the definitive way to play gameboy and gameboy color games....just wait for the store to get 100 titles or so..

I see your point, I actually use my DS lite more than the 3DS.

I agree with the arguement about the games, although I'm not really that bothered as I'm sure there'll be a few dropping soon that I'll be keen for...

What upsets me more (and I argued this on the day of release) is that Nintendo seem to have not really put anything forward at release that really has excited me so far... feel like they should have held off and put the system out with a few more games. Also the advertising in Australia was practically non existent.

The weekly 3DS store release are nothing short of a bad joke.

I haven't been using it much. Haven't really had the time to get too into Ocarina, either. I don't regret buying it, quite, as there will be great games I'm sure. However, I won't lie and say the PSV looks like it could be really really sweet. I only want one portable, so....

I regret buying it so early, basically because there is not enough games for it yet and because the price has dropped considerably in my area since launch.

I do not, I only have one retail game for it as of now (Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars) which I have yet to beat, but I plan to pick up Ocarina of Time, Dead or Alive: Demensions, and either some old Nintendo DS games I missed or a download card to get some virtual console games tomorrow. I love the 3DS and it made a 3D believer out of me.

I bought one with full knowledge that there were only really a couple of games for it. I don't regret it because I knew what I was getting into. If Nintendo suddenly abandoned it out of nowhere, yes I'd regret my purchase. Actually, I'd be outraged.

Since that isn't likely to happen, I'm eagerly awaiting several releases for this year.

Well, when more good games come out it will be alot better.

I feel like people forget that with every Nintendo system. Think back and tell me what the last Nintendo system was that didn't have a bad launch? It's not easy.

Nope. It's getting the same treatment I gave my DSlite when I first got it; taking it everywhere with me, sleeping with it, and completely ignoring any other device since I'm constantly using it. :P

I didn't buy one. At launch is typically the worst time to buy a console because that's when it has the least games to choose from and is the most expensive.
