the 3D effect is nice, even if it's just an extra. it's like movies, okay watching them in 3D, but if the content sucks, then who cares about the 3D effect?

so it's a matter of content, if you like nintendo games, then it sure is worth it and the graphics look good on that little screen.

Most of the good software is coming out around November/December, but at the current price point I'd say there's enough content if you're interested in those games (OoT3D, SSFIV, Dead or Alive, Pilotwings Resort, Star Fox 64 3D, Devil Survivor Overclocked), granted a lot of these are ports or remakes, but they're still quality titles. The next game(s) I'm planning to get are Tetris Axis, which is going to be $29.99 as opposed to $39.99 (All 3DS games should be this price to be honest), Bit.Trip. Saga, Star Fox 64 3D, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.

Yay. The drought is essentially over, and it is well worth the $170.

I'd wait for the holiday. More chances that retailers will offer up extra incentives to buy the 3DS. And I'm planning to get one after Kingdom Hearts comes out.

Ask me next week when Star Fox is out and I'd say probably. Ask in a couple months when mariokart is out and I'd say definitely. Ask me right now? Meh.

I have buyers remorse with my 3DS (and I even purchased it before the ambassador's program).

I'm still going to hold on to my 3DS because of Starfox and the new Mario game, but other than that, I do not see the 3DS having a successful library other than: Metriod series, Mario Kart, Mario, Starfox, Zelda, Kirby, and maybe a Donkey Kong game. With that said, all those games can be pretty repetitive.

And if you're interested in getting an old 3DS that is registered in the ambassador's program, then I would suggest for you to hold off. The NES games are extrememly mediocore and not that great.

So to sum up: If you do enjoy the 3DS library, then I would suggest in getting it, HOWEVER, if you like the PSVita's library as well, I would recommend getting that. If you like aesthetics and new (as well as established games like Uncharted) then definitely get PSVita.

I think it is pretty much dead in the water. With the exception of a few Nintendo titles, the system just is not going to offer much.

I have a strong sense of Yes to say about it, But that's only because I'm getting the most out of my System.

Can't say about other people though.

I got one in july. All I have are OoT and GR:Shadow Wars and I dig them both. But I got GTA CW and Ninja Gaiden DS as well. I like it a lot because there is the DS library and the increasing 3DS library.

If you don't have/ never had a DS then sure. If you have then I think you should wait a while.

Look at the games and the lineup if it interest you buy it, if not then dont.

Honestly I regret paying full price for mine but at the price point now theres not much reason not to if the games interest you

Mate has it. I must say, it's really cool the first time you use 3D, but it's really just a bit of a gimmick for now. The PSvita looks much better, I suggest you get that

Never had a DS, so I'm already in love with it simply for the DS library. Layton, Phoenix, Mario, Rune Factory 3, Pokemon, Ghost Trick, and more have been keeping me busy. Upcoming games like Mario 3D Land, Rune Factory 4, Tales of the Abyss, and more are just icing.

In short, yay.

No, not yet. 3D is pointless imo, and the games aren't really there yet. A regular DS or a PSP would be better bets right now.

Sure, but being objective, there aren't very many good ones which is to be expected in launch year. There especially aren't ones that are systems sellers unless you're one of the few people who hasn't played LOZ: Ocarina Of Time or SMT: Devil Survivor (I wouldn't even recommend this since the added content is minimal and the DS version can still be found for cheaper). DOA: Dimensions is good but not worth buying a system for and neither is SSF4 (which is just another port).

It will be. That's a 100% certainty. I don't know whether you would consider the current library worth it.
When is that Nintendo 3DS event thing? If it's within the next 2 weeks I would definitely tell you to wait for that, and make up your mind with the games shown there and what we know is coming.

RE: Mercenaries is poor. I mentioned the other 3 already in my post and Tales Of The Abyss got delayed to 2012. Ports don't make a system good remember the PSP's first couple of years.

Gotta love that " fanboy " remark. You go ahead and claim mercenaries to be "poor" doesn't deny it's a decent game. The picture could be a lie of course. Gotta love google

this doesnt make any sense... why would you recommend the DS but not the 3DS... all DS games play on the 3DS. Or do you think that its somehow economical to buy a DS and later buy a 3DS when some good games for it?

Yeah, a piece of paper with my username on it is googled. Abit desperate are you? I would make a video to shut you up but it's not worth it since from seeing all your 3DS posts you're blind and wouldn't admit you're wrong anyway.

I'm just telling it as it is. You're up and arms because the 3DS has a mediocore library to most gamers. When someone calls me out on not owning something or playing something that I have, you better believe I will prove you wrong unless you're blind and trying to find any slight desperate piece of evidence to prove otherwise... google riight

Not a bad collection I must say. I may wait until later this year or next year even.

After the price drop I'd say yay. Some more good games are coming out in the next few months, and replaying OoT has been great. Jeez, why did Nintendo have to remake what is considered by many to be the best game of all time in 3D anyway? It's not like it's a good game or anything.
