Should i buy a Nintendo 3ds ?

i've always wanted to buy a 3ds (xl or the normal one) and now im thinking if its a good idea, mainly beacause the system has 2 years on the market and i don't know if its getting old or if i should wait until the wii u gets things right... what do you think?

Well it's definitely not getting old or irrelevant... Both the Wii U and 3DS have a pretty sweet holiday lineup. 

If you want to get one now, I'd say 3DS because you'll have a ton of games + I don't see the price dropping a whole lot more.  Maybe wait a bit for Wii U to take advantage of possible price drops/bundles along with the awesome holiday lineup.

hmmm anyone else?

The line-up of games for it right now it fantastic, you're bound to find something you like on the system. Lots of exciting games coming out soon too. A resounding yes!

As someone who likes RPGs, the answer is a resounding YES. I'm swimming in quality JRPGs ever since I bought the system, and I don't regret the choice one bit. I would go for the XL because the extra screen size is amazing if you have bad eyes, or just want to see more on the screen at once.

alright !! thanks everyone 

I'm in the same position with the 3DS (XL)... I already have a Wii U & I like it. I understand it takes time for games to come out, so I haven't complained about it yet. As for the 3DS, I haven't bought one yet because I'm worried there will be A Link Between Worlds edition... Anyone have any input on how likely that would be?

If you enjoy rpgs, puzzle games, and platformers, then yes, I'd say it's worth it. The whole reason I wanted a 3ds was for animal crossing, but I ended up getting other games like professor layton (newest is on 3ds), virtues last reward (first game on ds is a must though), zelda oot (never played it on 64), and luigis mansion (didnt think it would be good but I was wrong). Still haven't got animal crossing new leaf, but I do look forward to it. For me 3ds was very worth it, just do research on the type of games it has and see if it matches your preferences as far as genre is concerned.

I have a 3ds but i'd wait till you see a flow of games you like come out. Doesnt seem like there are many games. 

I'll likely buy a Ps Vita to fill in where the 3ds may lack in games.
