I would honestly take Mario Kart 7 for my 3DS than 50 crap Ipod games. Dont listen to anything that troll said. Even with 3D off its like a portable Gamecube whereas the DS is like an N64.

I agree with what you say but you dont have to call the guy a troll:P

He can call me whatever he wants, it just reflects on him/her, but who said anything about crap Ipod games?

There are more games on the Ipod than Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope, you just have to look.

And for the record, I have 7 3DS cartridge games and around 50 NDS cartridge games, so I'm not anti-Nintendo, I'm just not that impressed with their product.

As for Mario Kart 7, sure it's fun, but it's Mario Kart - I've played this game six times before.

I agree about the ipod games. I was on my itouch all the time since I had so many games on there. It's been a couple of years since it died, so I can't remember many titles, but there were some pretty good ones on there that were far removed from games like Angry Birds. Plus, they are super cheap and fun to pick up when I don't feel like getting into a "heavier" game, so to speak, on a console. I also tired of Mario Kart DS and traded it back to Amazon for around $15 for a copy I have had sitting around since I bought my DS six years ago. No regrets. That game got boring pretty fast. I don't think that game would be high on my list when/if I get a 3DS. Anyone happen to know why OOP games like Super Princess Peach are super expensive at places like GameStop (like, $50 for just the cartridge), yet they will pay hardly anything for them? I thought they would pay back a certain percentage based on how much they could sell it for, or something. I'd rather sell the thing on eBay or even trade it back to Amazon instead of taking it to that place!

As much as I'm tempted to get the purple 3DS, I'm waiting for the inevitable redesign.OceansBloom
That color is AMAZING, is it not? :D [QUOTE="NamelessPlayer"]I was in the same position and decided to go for a first-revision 3DS in the end. -Kid Icarus: Uprising largely pushed me over into getting one. I don't regret it one bit. Easily the best game on the 3DS in my opinion. -News broke out that they were going to stop offering Zelda: Four Swords on the eShop after a certain date...unfortunately earlier than the delivery date of my first 3DS order (during the $150 Newegg sale). Fortunately, I wound up buying one on eBay with it already downloaded, along with all the Ambassador Program stuff for significantly less than $250. -I figured that if I get all that downloadable software now, especially the Ambassador Program stuff, I can system transfer it all to any newer-revision 3DS models that show up and sell the old one. -My original DS was getting a bit long in the tooth anyway. Dim screens, and a much shorter battery life than I recall it originally having, but expected since time isn't kind to lithium-ion batteries. -Since my little brother broke his DS Lite's hinge for the third time, I wanted to have said original DS free for him to borrow (and hopefully not break) while I have my 3DS. Oh, and while I do have a Circle Pad Pro, I don't really have any games that would make use of it. I'm not left-handed, so I don't bother with it in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It's just not very widely supported right now save for three or four games, one of which isn't released outside of Japan yet and the other which may only support it in the Japanese version, with the remaining two that would've been much better off if they supported touchscreen aiming.

Whoa. WHOA. Okay, I don't care if I sound like a newbie at all... the graphics I'm seeing for some of these games (like the one you mentioned) are blowing me away. You guys weren't kidding when you compared the 360 with the 3DS. Oh my goodness, I am extremely tempted now. (Can you tell I don't have, like, any of the newest consoles out right now?) Would you say that the original 3DS model will be worth something when the newer model comes out? (Although I bet you anything I wouldn't want to get rid of it, just like I'm holding onto my original DS for backwards compatibility!) Kid Icarus looks amazing, and I don't even know anything about it. xD And yes, the dim screen is becoming way too much for me. I might even go so far as to say it's hurting my eyes since I can barely see it next to my bright laptop screen. I feel like I'm reading with minimal light when I'm looking at my DS screen, which I doubt is good for the eyes.... Not that staring at any screen is good, but whatever. :P Arghh. I wish GameStop would have some sort of promotion for it this summer. If there were some sort of free game thrown in for the regular 3DS price, I might just bite. I appreciate all the opinions here. I'm not sure whether it's making the decision any easier, LOL, but I like them.

Thanks for all your responses! As of now, it comes down to whether or not I want to spend the money on a system that I might only be able to use for the next few months, as I'll be overseas next year and probably wouldn't take my new DS with me. The games out so far do interest me to an extent, and I'm definitely anticipating some future releases, but I'll have to see what is most practical. I didn't really think there would be a new release. If I were already 100% on wanting a 3DS, I wouldn't have waited for it anyway, lol. Thanks. :]

[QUOTE="Spinnerweb"][QUOTE="aykayen"]Thanks for your input. Not sure I'm sold on the games available yet.. [QUOTE="demon-zer0"] What is E3? ^_^;;

Electronic Entertainment Expo. A convention where gaming companies announce stuff like new games and consoles. It's taking place in July :D

Ohhh. So I guess Nintendo usually has a big presence there? Maybe I'll wait it out, but it just seems unlikely that they'd release a new model right after releasing a new color. Unless that's something they've done in the past. :P

I just looked that up. Looks interesting... It also kind of sort of makes me want to get Nintendogs again, LOL.

Wait until E3 - if they announce something new than wait a little longer, if not than go with current 3DS

Wow, that's something I definitely haven't heard yet, haha. I had heard that there weren't many good games for it, yet, but all the reviews I had seen were raving about it. I actually don't play DS games continuously, just if there is a title that really catches my eye or a series that I like. Right now the only game I actually know that I want on it is Pokemon Black/White 2, since apparently there are some features only accessible to the 3DS. But your point is really interesting. I used to have an iPod touch until I used it so much that the battery died. That thing was amazing. Hmm... I'll definitely take that into consideration. Thanks for replying. :)

Yes, I have the dinosaur DS. I was originally thinking of getting a Lite, but the price is not that much lower than the 3DS, so I figured that would be the better investment. Especially since they're coming out with purple and that is my absolute favorite color. :P However, someone mentioned to me the possibility of a newer model with two circle pads, since apparently some games require a circle pad accessory in order to be played properly. What do you think? I'm tired of how clunky my old thing is and how dark the screen is, but do I really want to spend $170 on something that can't even support some of its own games by itself? Also, I've heard the battery life isn't that great. On the other hand, would stores like GameStop offer some sort of trade-in for the current 3DS so you could buy whatever newer model comes out at a lower price? (If you can't already tell, I don't have that much experience in gaming, so don't shoot me down and tell me to read articles about the consoles, please. I've already been looking through some of that stuff, but I'd rather hear direct answers. Thanks.)
