These Launch Titles.... ****

I hate to say it but I put down $250 for the 3DS just because I haven't owned a DS since 2007 and wanted to buy the games I missed between then and now (mostly Dragon Quest games and Shin Megami)

Nintendo hasn't had a good handheld launch since Game Boy Advance.... now that was awesome.... bought about 25 GBA games within the first year. I don't see myself buying many 3DS games this year.

Seriously who would buy Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D? 99% of people over the age of 16 have played it before.... They re-released on Gamecube when Wind Waker came out..... You're telling me THAT'S the signature game on 3DS? :(

The 3DS might not have the brightest launch in the history of game launches, but I've found some games that are somewhat fun anyway.

But for you to rule out the entire DS game library is pretty laughable. The DS had a lot of really good games, maybe you just haven't looked through them hard enough. I agree that the GBA had some good games, yeah, but the DS has definately had as many, or possibly more.

The launch lineup is nothing special, but in 2 or 3 years the library is gonna be massive. I'm patiently waiting for those titles.

Goodness the thing's only been out for about a month. There will be amazing games over the years. People have got to be more patient. Besides, Mercs 3D is coming out!! Oh, and I'm 17 but have never play OoT, so I might as well do that now.

It's so bad that I think Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions might be the only game I would consider buying on 3DS this year. :Dderekjeter2005

Then you shouldn't have bought a 3DS

So far there haven't been a ton of great games, but the future looks pretty nice with Paper Mario, SMT games, and Tales of the Abyss. At least for me that is.

I can't remember the DS launch line-up, but I had just 2 games for the best part of the year. Super Mario 64 DS and Wario Ware: Touched. Once Mario Kart DS came out, my collection built up so quickly. I hope its the case again with the 3DS. I am looking forward to a number of games, especially Ocarina 3D.Raiko101

I'm getting OoT 3D. I haven't played the original in over 5 years and I figured this would be a great way to replay it. It is a remake with much improved graphics, along with an updated interface and 3D of course. Should be a great game to hold us over until Mario Kart 3DS and Paper Mario come out.

You're telling me THAT'S the signature game on 3DS? :(

no thats the first big game...

mario kart and super mario 3d are released this year too.

This is why I am buying it, mainly to have a portable copy of one of the best Zelda games of all time in my pocket when I am out and about.

I'm 18 and I've never played OoT.

A starting line-up doesn't make the system.
True, it's not exactly a stellar line of games.
Honestly, the only thing I would get is SSFIV and mayyybee Nintendogs and Cats.
But it's what's going to come out later that makes the system worth a purchase.
(SMT, OoT, RE:Mercenaries, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, PW vs PL, Kid Icarus, Starfox, MGS 3)
And if you don't think you're going to like any of those, then maybe the 3DS just isn't for you.

If they haven't play the original OoT, they can either go to amazon and buy the 2-disc special with Master Quest that came out with WW on Gamecube or they can get a used copy for N64.derekjeter2005

Or they can buy the 3DS version with the updated visuals and content. :roll:

So you have no interest in Mario Kart, Paper Mario, Super Mario 3D, Animal Crossing, Kid Icurus, Resident Evil, The Conduit, etc., or any of the (frankly underrated) launch titles? Serioulsy, man, why the hell did you even buy a 3DS? Or are you just saying you bought it so you can get away with talking crap about it?

I've got to admit I agree with you, to an extent. I've been defending this system, and while I actually just bought OOT3D today, it gives me the feeling that we may not see a new zelda for quite some time. We know that Mario will be shown at E3, and others I assume, but based on major game releases being spaced apart, a new zelda may not arrive until holiday 2012. That's a long ways off. I still dig the console--a 6.5 for Pilotwings!-->are you kidding me, the game is GREAT--yet Nintendo, at least imo, is leaving rather sour, "we released the most successful console ever in the DS and you will buy this based on that" taste in my mouth. It's a mistake, really, because for one, the software should really be stressing the 3D. An article in the most recent EGM has nintendo saying that they are going to back down from the "3D as a play mechanic." That is a little disheartening considering it was the reason why people like myself bought it. Here's hoping, though.

By the way, what is up with EGM? They seriously only reviewed ONE game, in SSF4.

I have played OoT too many times to count and I am absolutely excited for it. Actually, I'm beyond excited, I'm ecstatic.

Who wouldn't want to play OoT on the go? I suppose now you'll tell me to hook my GC up to a tele in my car and play it that way.

there were only 36 m n64s sold , not all of them bought 00t so ,

ya pretty much and excuse me gba had the same problem at launch as any console/handheld its when the system is a year or 2old and still has not manygood titles-psp in the west has not seen many good games , and when it does youll always gotta say about time because the rest are ports of other games ,

so 3ds will be a good handheld and it will have a strong line up by the time ngp comes out and thatsall that matters and will be 100 or more cheaper
