    I'd like one since I don't even carry around my DS anyway and I'd like the bigger screen.
    Yeah. With iPhones etc no-one carries around a DS anymore (in general), unless they are super into one game that they can't put down or need to finish. If I was going to play 3D games, 99% of the time it would be on the couch or in bed. So if I WAS going to get a 3DS... It would be that one.

    I love the design of it. Very smooth.

    Agreed with the last two posts. I'm getting one as soon as it comes out.

    Everyone else holding off on the 3DS might as well go ahead and pick one up, though. This is the revision that they were waiting for, and it won't rock their socks.

    I'll get on eventually. Maybe this Christmas if they make a special edition one like they did with Zelda last year.

    I don't really consider my iPhone a viable alternative to a DS for portable gaming. Angry Birds is fun, but it doesn't keep my attention like a DS or 3DS game does.

    Yeah I don't play any games on my phone except for chess occasionally. Most games on the phone are games that are like 5 minute attention grabbers. That being said I don't really take my DS anywhere but since I have to take the bus every day now I might consider it. I still just don't really trust the R4 cards for the 3DS yet. Also DS games are so small that Nintendo should just throw a hard drive in the 3DS and let you download games from the wifi. I would buy one in a heartbeat then.

    They're doing that, starting in August with the new Mario game.
  • MATATATMATATAT
    Do you mean the 3ds virtual console?
  • SailSail
    No, I mean that retail games are going to be available as downloads.
  • ninjarabbininjarabbi
    It seems like they already did it, but I have nothing to back that up with.

    Damn, better get a fat memory card.

    At least they don't cost as much as the Sony proprietary bullshit memory on the Vita.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're just straight-up SD Cards, aren't they?

    Indeed
  • SailSail
    Yeah, they're SD cards. But I have about 30 things installed on my 3DS and I've only used about 20% of the included SD card, so.
  • AxelAxel
    I imagine a full game will be bigger.

    Yeah, but the point is that this is like a 2GB SD card and it would be incredibly cheap and easy to triple or even octuple the amount of storage I have.

  • AxelAxel
    Yeah. 16GB SD cards are cheaper than I thought they would be. XD
    16GB MicroSDs are super cheap, and then the adapter to make it a regular SD card is cheap as well.

    I have an 8 GB microSD, but surprisingly it is compatible with very few devices even with the adapter. Haven't tried it with my 3DS, though.

    Hmm...Interesting.
  • MATATATMATATAT
    well shit, maybe ill consider getting a 3ds in the near future.

    I have used a micro sd adapted with my friend's DSi, so I can't see why it wouldn't work for the 3DS

    Pre-ordered my 3DS XL today.

    Time to jump in, that is a nice looking piece of tech. They seem to have addressed almost every complaint with the original, save the 2nd stick.

    Since I never take my DS anywhere anymore, the form factor will be an asset, not a liability.

    I'll pick up Mario 3D land and Paper Mario shortly after (I'm a HUGE Paper Mario fan) and then just see how I go from there.

    $200 US is pretty good. I was expecting it to cost more.

    Along with checking the Wii-U, the 3DS titles you can check out at the Nintendo booth at PAX, look interesting.

    Really digging Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Only good if you like tap-based music games and FF music, though.
  • MattMatt
    For the record, the PS Vita is now just as old as the 3DS was when it got its famous "Oh shit. We are fucked. Here's a price drop and sorry about the launch" speech from Nintendo. Vita is barely selling half as much as the 3DS at that juncture, so Sony must be REALLY fucked. 3DS went on to double its lifetime sales within a month of that announcement and hasn't looked back. I don't see the same thing happening for Sony.

    I'm considering getting a 3DS now that I have ~$160 in gift cards for Amazon. My Supercard DSTWO is supposed to work with it, so I might not even buy a single game, seeing as I'm a poor, filthy pirate. Trying to pick a color now.

    Doesn't work in 3DS mode, just DS mode, bro.

    What? Fuck this then.

    I'm not going to pay for games after buying a console for only a little bit less than they payed to make it.

    Harmo Knight is a side-scrolling rhythm game from Game Freak and looks fantastic. Want.
