So I've been reading articles and reports on the 3D feature being criticized. Apparently, you have to hold the system at a specific angle, and with games like Street Fighter, where you are pressing buttons constantly and moving the system up and down, because of it, it makes the 3D very...well not fun to put it straight.

I played the 3DS at last years E3 while waiting in the dreadful line for more than an hour to get about 20 minutes of gameplay. To be honest, it is a delightful machine. Being able to augment things in reality is very mind boggling, and the line up looks good.

Even though I have no reason not to buy it, I'm still skeptical about an immediate purchase. Star Fox and Metal Gear drove me even further into buying it, but I still enjoy my DSi to the point where buying the next iteration is pointless. Big bitters like Resident Evil and Street Fighter are awesome, and the appeal of portability makes it better, but I have that at home. The N64 remakes are great. but I bought them for Virtual Consol already. Even BlazBlue is being released, which is great, but yet again I have it.

Don't get me wrong, I love the 3DS and the possibilities of amazing game ports, but I don't feel the urge to play anything presented at the moment.

For me the selling point of the 3DS would be GBA games on the virtual consol, but odds are that may not go into full swing until later in the year.

Also, smash 3DS? Maybe? Please?

I am 100% expecting Smash 3DS as an interquel between Brawl and the true Smash 4.

Plus if a Smash 3DS actually had decent online I would definitely buy the system. And there's the new Paper Mario that will eventually come out.

I think Nintendo will be fine game wise when it comes to sales. The 3D feature will attract casual audiences once again, and the for the other gamers, well all it takes is a game with the word "Mario" or "Zelda", and you get your money that way.

However, if I do have a concern, it's that right now we're in the current trend of everything has to be 3D. 3D movies, 3D tvs, and now 3D games. Like all trends, they come and go. While the DS did have renditions come out, it was never truly the next system for them. It will be interesting to see how long the 3DS can last before people just get bored of the 3D thing.

At the end of the day, I'm not gonna buy this or the PSP2. 300 minimum is a lot to ask, and I figure the games will be 40 bucks each so...meh.

Surprised no one here is talking about Mega Man Legends 3 lol.

^ just saying, and it is a few years off (ps3/wii have so much room to grow, I don't expect it even MENTIONED until end of next year), but next gen consoles will be so expensive it'll match these handhelds.

The 3DS is $250. But its understandable why you wouldn't want either system.

^ Pwned. I don't see the 3DS pricetag being too bad, since it's next gen.

Actually, I did know the price, but I don't know why I was thinking 300 the whole way through when I typed that up. I guess hearing all the talk about how PSP2 has to be 300 to be competitive registered in my head as what the 3DS was. Honestly though, I don't see why you have to be so irked about it. People make mistakes.

Well, most of us that are discussing it either post at or view the Capcom-Unity boards for that game due to the activity there, as the thread for it didn't last more than two months on this forum. . . . . . .

I agree. I borrowed NSMB Wii from a friend only to find that the game was boring and it felt like absolutely nothing new, don't see why everyone seems to love that game.

Although it would be interesting to see what 2D games look like with a 3D effect.

Really? I thought that the battles were pretty creative (ESPECIALLY Bowser's, though it
isn't actually a battle per sae, you'll see what I mean if you get to the end
) and a lot of the stages felt fresh and new, though mostly later on. The multiplayer is also pretty fun.

Hopes Square makes FF5/6 on 3DS. It'd follow the I/II > III/IV trend on Gba/DS (ignoring 4/5/6 on GBA, that was just...IT DOESNT COUNT ok.

Expect to see FF I, II and IV on the 3DS. God forbid that Square regularly remakes any other old FFs than those three.

I never got to Bowser, I think I got up to world three before I got bored of playing was basically Mario Bros. 3 with prettier graphics.

IDK, I never really liked Mario Bros. 3 all that much, I personally think that Mario World is better but w/e.

I think it's ironic how, despite moving into the IRL 3-D, Nintendo still wants to make 2D Games for a 3D system. It's not a bad flaw, but honestly, can we please move on from that 2D formula? The only time it works is when they hit it EXCEPTIONALLY well, which they haven't done in a while. NSMB Wii wasn't fun to me, and neither was NSMB on the DS. They just feel like....almost personality-less. Bringing it BACK to the Classics makes it feel hackneyed.

I'm still not planning to get this system on the launch date. For one, I don't like the colors (gripe all you want, I don't want to hold a teal blue 3DS and I'm never fond of the black Console). Two, absolutely none of the launch titles excite me; no matter what 3D shoots forth at me, it doesn't affect what game I'm playing with it. I'm exceptionally excited to see what comes of the system though, and it's a given that I'll pick one up eventually.

He didn't say a remake of Super Mario Bros:

"I am now making a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo 3DS system," Miyamoto revealed.

I wonder if it will have the "New Super Mario Bros" title or if that was just a coincidence.

However, a kotaku post mentions that a version of Super Mario World with 3-D effects is also possible, it doesn't seem related to the above.

Wrong.

If it was a NSMB game, "new" would have been capitalized. He meant that he was making a new (not NSMB) SMB.

Please inform me how one capitalizes a letter when you're talking?

Irregardless, "a New Super Mario Bros game" and "a new Super Mario Bros" game still mean it's a new game, not a remake.

There's a difference.

SMB is not NSMB.

He said a new SMB game, not a NSMB game.

It may end up being a NSMB game, but it also might not.

Mic is saying that whether it's titled "Super Mario Bros. (insert whatever it's at now)" or "New Super Mario Bros. 3DS", it's still and always will be a NEW adventure game that isn't a remake of something.

The only thing that sucks is its battery life, otherwise, it seems pretty cool.

15-19 hours with NDS lite compared to 5-9 hours
