The Nintendo 3DS is going to be a massive thing, the preorder sales are already outdoing the Wii (which was significantly higher than 360, ps3 and psp).
I for one am going to preorder one within the next few days. Here in Australia it comes out on 31st of March, and Europe and America get it a few days earlier, and them lucky guys in Japan get it in a couple of days.
Here are the games that'll be available in Australia on Launch Day:
- Resident Evil?: The Mercenaries 3D
- The Sims? 3
- PES 2011 3D
- LEGO? Star Wars? III: The Clone Wars
- LEGO? Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game
- Ridge Racer?3D
- Super Monkey Ball? 3D
- Crush? 3D
- Thor?: God of Thunder
- Samurai Warriors: Chronicles
- DEAD OR ALIVE? Dimensions
- Tom Clancy?s? Ghost Recon? Shadow Wars
- Tom Clancy?s Splinter Cell ? 3D
- Rayman? 3D
- Asphalt? 3D
- Combat of Giants? Dinosaurs 3D
- James Noir?s Hollywood Crimes?
- Driver? Renegade
- Puzzle Bobble Universe?
- Rabbids? 3D
America will also have Steel Diver and PilotWings Resort on release day.
Soon After we'll also be Seeing MarioKart 3DS, Starfox 64, And Zelda OoT 3D.
Who else is getting one and what are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that the 3ds is gonna kick ass... a year from now. The system itself is awesome, with some really creative functionality, but the starting line-up sucks and it's going to be a while before owners get any amazing titles. Another huge disappointment is it's battery life. What was it? 3 hours? That's much too short for a portable. A year from now, they'll come out with an updated version of the 3ds to fix the battery life, and by that time it'll have an amazing assortment of games. Until then, I'll pass.

Nintendo reckon 3-5 hours with everything turned on max (brightness, 3D, wireless, streetpass etc.) some places reckon that without all that, you could be getting 7-8 hours, or up to 12 with everything on low and the 3D turned off.

Sounds like plenty to me. I do agree that the launch lineup looks a bit weak, but the system overall looks sweet. I've always enjoyed 3D movies, so the idea of having a handheld 3D gaming syste without the glasses is definitely something I will want to try out. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm gonna have enough spare cash to get one anytime soon.

Yeah, I doubt that I'll play it for 3 hours and not have a chance to charge it (taking into account I'll get a char charger and stuff.)
And yes, unfortunately it is a touch on the expensive side, though thankfully I've kept a bit of money aside for a few months.
But to be completely honest I think it's gonna be awesome, sure there's only a couple of good launch games, but before E3 we can expect Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda OoT: 3D, Starfox 64 and more. So I don't think there's much to worry about.

Do a barrel roll Starfox? As in a legit port of Starfox from the N64? I might just have to reconsider buying this in the future.
I'll definably wait before purchasing this, probably when the amount of games is a lot bigger.
I'm excited about Paper Mario 3DS, by the way. Looks awesome.

Yep, they basically just updated the graphics heaps, made it 3D, and fixed bugs and whatnot, I dunno if they added stuff though.
Well,
Today I went to a 3DS expo and played a number of games and tried out the features and whatnot, and I am very glad to say that the 3DS is AWESOME!
The games I tried were, Face Raiders (Built in), Zelda OoT, Pilotwings Resort, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Steel Diver, Resident Evil, Street Fighter IV 3D, Augmented Reality Games, Plus the Camera and other built in features.
The best were Zelda and Steel Diver.
And the 3D is amazing. And the Hardware is virtually perfect.

Awesome :P Good to hear. I'm anxious to see it for myself some time.
A bit of a bump, but it is relevant now since it is released (at least for me in the USA).
I randomly picked one up, been having a ton of fun messing with the built in games and 3D. It really is quite cool. Though, not sure how much use it is going to get right now until some better games come out, but I'm excited. I didn't realize how small it is (roughly the same size as the DS Lite). The battery has been really good for me too.
Anyone else get one? Anyone want to trade friend codes? :P
Got mine Sunday, on release day :3 Indeed, the built-in stuff is amusing to play with, and I got Sims 3 just so I had something to play until some of the more desirable games start coming out (Kingdom Hearts, Ocarina of Time, Animal Crossing, Professor Layton)

OMG, i MUST get one now. Love that series :3
Yep, I'll be picking mine up tomorrow (launch day in Australia) and I'll probably pick up a copy of Rabbids 3D since the Australian launch line up ain't that great, and just to play something until games like Super Mario 3D, Animal Crossing, Professor Layton, Lego Pirates etc... come out.
It's been released? Yay! :D
...But my dad discovered a problem with the 3DS. If you hold it at a certain position, 3D won't work. Oh well, I expected problems with the first release.
I'll wait a year until I get the 3DS, letting the games stock up.

Uh....duh? It's more like you have to hold it at a certain position to make 3D WORK. That's just how stereoscopic 3d works. :/ No upgraded release of the 3DS is going to change the laws of light and physics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy
The unfortunate thing I see happening is now that Nintendo discovered how to implement stereoscopic capable mobile devices, that other companies (e.g. Sony) are going to follow suit and create their own. Their inevitable release of a 3D capable PSP without glasses will no doubt be released as soon as the 3DS gets a decent line-up of games, and once again, the 3DS will fall to the wayside.
Gotta give it to Nintendo though, once again, they've proven themselves the revolutionary video game company, often setting the standard for capabilities that all other companies must meet and (sadly always) exceed.
I'm not a huge fan of handhelds, but does any of you know if professor layton and ace attorney crossover is coming out for this system? I might borrow it or something, hah.
It is coming out for 3DS, yes. It hasn't been confirmed for coming out anywhere but Japan thus far, though D:

Physics MAY change after 2012 though.
I am going to wait for them to come out with the next version of the 3ds, eg. a 3ds lite or something before I consider buying. I want to give them time to perfect whatever things may initially go wrong with it...since this is such a new concept in the gaming industry.

I was under the impression the DS line of handhelds was the most popular (at least in recent years), easily outnumbering the amount of PSP's sold. That was heard second hand though, so I could be sorely mistaken.
@Chaos: Oh man, I had completely forgotten about Animal Crossing and Kingdom Hearts (though I have no idea which storyline it will follow... I thought everything that leads up to Kingdom Hearts 3 was already played out!). Ocarina of Time, Paper Mario, Mario Kart 3DS... we so excited.

Pretty sure that's correct.
I'm going to wait until a couple of months when the game lineup improves, then I'll get one.

No one needs to read an article to give at least 3 reasons, why that will never happen..
I stand corrected. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the consoles when it comes to who dominates the market (I've never owned any Nintendo handhelds past the gameboy color). I have no doubt that just like the Wii did, Nintendo will dominate the handheld market for a long time to come, outselling all other handheld products, but so far as I assumed (don't have proof), the Wii is no longer the best selling console, like it was back in 2007, and I'm positive that we'll see new handhelds in the future that give the 3DS a run for its money.
My post was more along the lines of "Nintendo is always 'the first' to do that", and then every other company eventually gets up to that standard that Nintendo sets, and at least in the console world, once the others meet and exceed that standard, Nintendo is outdated.
Believe you me though, I've always been a supporter of Nintendo, and wish they could step up to be the un-disputed best in the industry, but then reality sets in.

I'm not positive on the details since I havn't checked on this in sometime, but I definitely know that the Wii absolutely dominated the console market for pretty much the entire time it has existed, and I don't think that would have changed too drastically in the last year or so since I checked. Even if other consoles are now selling more, they would have a long way to go to catch up to the Wii in total sales. I'm not as sure about the overall success of the DS, but I know it has also dominated the competition pretty hard.
I am certainly not trying to make any statement that nintendo is has "the best" consoles, but they certainly have the most succesful for the current generation of gaming. I also wouldn't count on the PSP succesor copying the 3D stuff. Sony already has announced the design and features for the "PSP2," and it does not include 3D (although it does have a few other fairly nice features).
im not sure i might hold off on buying one until dead or alive comes out for it or some other games i might like. metal gear solid snake eater is sure making me interested since it looks like a pretty good port of the ps2 game. also ive never played any of the metal gear games.

I am sort of on the same page as Venuse when it comes to buying one. The system looks great, but I'm not sure I want to fork out $250 for a system when there arn't really any games I want for it at launch. Once they start coming out with some good 1st party games I will almost certainly get one.

All I have to hear is Metal Gear Solid and I'm sold! Especially the third. Yep, I am definitely buying one just for that.
So, going over the list of games planned/in development for the 3DS again, these are the games that pique my interest, in no particular order:
-Animal Crossing game
-Cave Story 3DS
-Contra game
-Final Fantasy game
-Kid Icarus: Uprising
-Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
-The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
-Mega Man Legends 3
-Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle
-Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney
-Star Fox 64 3D
-Super Mario game
-BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II
-Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy
-Bomberman 3DS
-Harvest Moon game
-Mario Kart 3DS
-Splinter Cell 3D
-Yugioh game
How bout you? :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_3DS_games
I cant help it but to see that some of those games were 2D in the past. How will they work in 3D. Unless the graphics are remade or its a series of 2D images on different depths or they are just 2D. Also I cant help to say that lots of those are old titles brought back. Seems like Nintendo just made a few good games and lives off there reused title's (In all scenes of the word) that gets gamer's nostalgia to use there wallets.
In other words I would like to play those games.

Mind you, the ones I followed with 'game' are games that don't have an official title yet, so at this point it is just a game of said series.
do you want double the normal battery life on your 3ds then try Nyko's battery for about 19 bucks.

Sweet, great find man! I personally have felt that a lot of people and reviews have been a bit overly critical about how "bad" the 3DS's default battery life is. I mean I myself would almost never sit and play a handheld game for more than a couple hours in a single sitting anyways, so 3-5 hours of battery life to me is plenty. But either way, more is always better, and it sounds that the battery pack you linked would certainly help a whole ton! Nice to know that the system is even capable of using new/replacing the default battery too.
I just recently traded my DSi XL for a 3DS. I'm trying to figure out how to redeem my DSiWare games I had on my XL. How do I redeem my purchased games? I really don't want to repurchase them.

On the 3DS, update your system and choose the Transfer option, then on the DSi, download the 3DS transfer tool. The rest is history. (Note: save data will be deleted since the software can't be duplicated)

Can't do that. I traded my DSi and no longer have it. The people at GameStop said that you can redeem your games at the online marketplace, so they didn't transfer my games when I did the trade. I can't find anywhere at the marketplace where I can redeem, so either they lied or I'm missing something. The games were worth $30 total, too. :/

Can't do that. I traded my DSi and no longer have it. The people at GameStop said that you can redeem your games at the online marketplace, so they didn't transfer my games when I did the trade. I can't find anywhere at the marketplace where I can redeem, so either they lied or I'm missing something. The games were worth $30 total, too. :/
I think they probably made a mistake, because I'm fairly sure you need your other system to do it. Go back in and talk to Gamestop and see what you can do.

Just tried to. They won't let me use their internet to download the necessary software and I can't carry the device out of the store.
Oh well, lesson learned. Always be prepared before doing a trade. If I downloaded the 3DS transfer software beforehand, I would of been able to transfer the games. :/
