| Way too much methinks - I just don't see it selling that well at that price point. Most people would probably opt for a current gen console instead (if they don't already have one) |

| Something cool to be placed here in the near future. |
| Did I just say that it was too much? Scratch that. 300 bucks is a small price to pay to play Mega Man Legends 3. Oh hell yes. |
| |
| just gonna wait 6 months for the slimmer, 100 bucks cheaper and better preforming model to come out. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| There's also a new Kirby game... now give me a new Star Fox. |

| Getting something that's as much as a ps3 slim, not to my fancy at the moment, but as soon as it drops to around £90, yeah maybe, not that I use my ds much at the moment. |
| if its around $200, ill buy it but daaamn, illl wait till the price drops =D |
  |
| they practically revealed a new game for every series im interested in on this idc if it's $400, day 1 purchase for me. |
Jigero said: Pretty much.just gonna wait 6 months for the slimmer, 100 bucks cheaper and better preforming model to come out. Besides, there doesn't seem to be too many appealing titles yet, so it would be pointless to buy it right away. |
| With snake eater 3D, Zelda oot 3D, Super street fighter iv 3D and resident evil. I'll be getting it on day one. |
  |
| So I just learned about the Tales of the Abyss port and am hoping that Bamco doesn't fail me again since I'm still a Nintendofag. The time when I buy it will probably be when the next gen Pokemon comes out though, then I'll hoard games. |

| Love Plus 3D pretty much may solve the problem with Japanese men not getting a girlfriend as they won't need one after this. Maybe the women will stop their maniacal idea that a $680,000 a year salaries equals a good man. Might lower the suicide rate a little bit in Japan. |
 |
| I'm not excited by the price of the 3DS, but there seems to be an awesome game library already. :D I haven't bought a DS since the release of the Lite, so this'll definitely be my next upgrade... Once there's a price drop. |
| Daaang, that is pricey. I think I'll wait until there are at least five exclusive games for it that I can't live without (ie. top-shelf RPGs, which are kinda rare these days anyway). Frankly I prefer playing on home consoles than handhelds. Jigero said: just gonna wait 6 months for the slimmer, 100 bucks cheaper and better preforming model to come out. This is also probably true >_> |
| I will get this. Man, all those games sound awesome! |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Too rich for my blood at the moment. There are about six games that I want for it so far, so I definitely plan to get one. Knowing Nintendo, they'll make an upgraded better version of it six months after launch, which hopefully will mean a price drop for the original. So, I can wait. |
| 2011 is not going to be pretty in my bankbook. Buying a new phone, new console and now a new HANDHELD console?! |
| I think I'll hold off on buying one of these until the first revision hits and the price comes down a bit. I do like some of the launch titles but nothing is a 'must buy' for me. |
| ʘ‿ʘ |
| - Zelda - Paper Mario - Mario Kart - Tales of the Abyss - Kid Icarus - Harvest Moon Yep, I definitely have enough games to keep my satisfied. I just hope it's region free. I'll probably wait a few months to see if there is a new model announced and to avoid any of the launch systems. |

right_behind_you said: Now now, if there's still DS games you haven't played, just get a flash cart and it can still serve a purpose.I finally have an excuse to toss my launch day original DS to the curb. Besides, there's no way in hell I'm passing up the new Paper Mario. And with that said, I think I might just wait not only for a price drop and a new version, but for a good flash cart to come out as well. And then I'll probably buy a expensive proper one with updates and all. The R4 clone I got for my DS is a bit laggy now and then. |
R4yn0r said: I remember the ps3 being expensive, but an 8gb flash card shouldn't have run you that much even a few years ago. You could've probably saved yourself $100 or so if you would have purchased a 3rd party sd card. Sony just pastes their name on something and adds another digit to the price tag.300$ is nothing compared to the price of the PSP when it released... I paid fucking 450$ incl. 8gb card etc |
| Pugs are the best dogs |
| It's mind blowing to see this on a hand-held device. I remember going on road trips as a kid with my big, clunky Nintendo Gameboy. The graphics looked like this:  Which considering what they were working with was still pretty good. |
| It seems pretty good, especially for FPS games. They should work more on things like multiplayer though. |
 |
| i know i will at least wait a month or 2...but i definitely see myself buying this if it isnt another visual boy which chances are...it wont be :) |
| I would buy the 3DS for Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater. I wouldn't mind paying for a bundle. |

| Definitely getting a blue one ;D hope it lives up to everyone's expectations (and kicks the other system's asses) ^_^ |

| Do not want. Ever. One : I can't stand 3D. I saw a 3D movie not so long ago and my head ached for about an hour. So gaming with physical pain? No. Two: I tried somebody's DS before...I just...I can't. My hands are way too big. Three: I believe we will mostly get 3D SPAM in their screens... Because when we have something that's great, we have to abuse it. But that's just me. |

xDoN904 said: There is a switch in there to disable 3D and you don't have to play with 3D. So why would I want to pay 300$ for a 3DS. WHY. |
Cthulu said: Thats the price in Japan bro. Its $250 i believe.xDoN904 said: There is a switch in there to disable 3D and you don't have to play with 3D. So why would I want to pay 300$ for a 3DS. WHY. Obvious answer: The game lineup they have is currently worth buying one, but not at release date since i doubt ill have money right now. |

The game line-up is very nice. But I don't want any of them. |
| 300 bucks for a HANDHELD?! then again paper mario his coming out on this and 3D with out glasses very nice indeed |
 |
Cthulu said: Also, the graphics in general is better than the DS as I recall.So why would I want to pay 300$ for a 3DS. WHY. And before long, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE POKEMAN GAMES ON IT! Yup, that's my reason for wanting it. |

| Wow. They even got Project Aces on working on a new Ace Combat game for this. Definitely buying 3DS now. |

WHY. And before long, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE POKEMAN GAMES ON IT! Yup, that's my reason for wanting it. On the main topic of the 3DS, I'm saying yes. The hardware is impressive. I mean, I didn't even think 3D effects were plausible without some type of lens to filter light. My main fear is the possibility of having to hold the system at the proper angle to get the proper effect. That would be a serious ergonomic problem. The switch to adjust the 3D depth (it doesn't just toggle it on or off, it completely adjusts it, off, full, and everything in between) is a must. I'm glad they thought about that one. I also hear it has a telescoping stylus. :D The game lineup looks... on par with most other release lineups. Of course the best games aren't going to be released until a while into the system's life. I'm psyched for Mario Kart, though. I'm a long time fan of Mario Kart. The system software I feel they might screw up a little, trying to pack in a bunch features that no one really cares about. It should have integrated web browsing like the DSi, which would be wonderful (as long as they've improved on it since the original DS browser, which I suspect they have). Miis are always fun, too, but overall I haven't been seeing any other apps that look useful or even worth the disk space. Overall, it should be yet another welcome introduction into my collection of Nintendo handhelds. With the exception of the ridiculous amount of upgraded DS models (I mean, I thought the Lite was pushing it, then they throw out two more iterations? No, Nintendo. Bad!), Nintendo has yet to disappoint me with their handhelds. |
| Ah, hell. It's probably going to cost 3x the price here, as always. Oh well, gotta start saving up then! No way in hell I'm missing POKEMANZ IN 3D! |
| there is just way too many Pokemanz now...i just buy their games because they are such good timewasters :) |

| Oops, I completely forgot to list what games I plan to get for it. Resident Evil Revelations Super Street Fighter IV Ninja Gaiden Dead or Alive 3D Kingdom Hearts 3D Kid Icarus: Uprising Pilot Wings Resort (Yay! They are finally bringing it back) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (maybe) Super Robot Ridge Racer Harvest Moon Class of Heroes 3D Splinter Cell 3D |
