So who's getting one?
I prolly will since I'm a sucker for Nintendo handheld devices, and the inevitable BADASS LIBRARY OF GAMES that will soon follow after launch. But the price tag ($249) is kinda OUCH, and Nintendo most likely already has a 3DS-slim version in the works...
-
I'll stick with my DS, my GBA, and my PSP for my handheld needs, the only thing this has that might be up my alley is a Virtual Console for Gameboy titles (I prefer to track down original carts/CD's on anything I have). Not to mention I'm no fan of 3D so no thanks Nintendo, I'll continue supporting your other handhelds.
-
I'll get one eventually for RE: Revelations and MM: Legends 3, but not right off the bat. I'm waiting for more substantial titles, not to mention the inevitable "slim" version and/or price drops.
I really, really want Sega to make a Panzer Dragoon for it, though.
-
Im getting one for both kid icarus and Ocarina of time remake.
As well as my first chance to own and play OoE
-
I have the 3DS pre-ordered, but now I'm not so sure I'm going to get it. There's a possibility (rumor) that a game is going to get released for the Playstation 3 outside of Japan I kind of want, so I might buy a PS3 instead.
The concept for the 3DS sounds cool to me and plus I want the new Kingdom Hearts game. It's one of the game series I follow and would pick up a game system just for the game. Eventually I'd get more games for it anyway like all the other systems/handhelds I've done that for, like when I got the DS for Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow. ;)
-
I'll hold off on buying a 3DS and wait and see what types of games come out for it.

-
I'll probably wait a bit, although the line up of games coming out this year looks pretty good. However, I'll follow where ever Castlevania goes. Although the 3DS does look more appealing than the NGP, so I'm hoping that Konami sticks with the 3DS.

It does have a slider that lets you turn the 3D effect off.

3–5 hours battery life, insane price for a handheld... Yeah, I'm interested in the 3DS, but I'm gonna wait for a new model and price drop.

3-5 hours is fine. The PSP only gets about 4 hours of battery life. Sony may say 7 hours, but thats a load of bullshit, mine has never lasted more than about 5 even with minimum brightness. 3-5 hours is perfectly normal.
-
It's complete shit battery life. You'd have to play the thing with the adapter plugged in if you ever intend on playing it more than five hours at once, and apparently it takes a reeeaaally long time to charge from empty to full. And that's three to five hours; it could very well only last three or four. And with games like Ocarina of Time and what I expect to be a pretty awesome game library with games you'd wanna play for plenty of hours at a time, 3–5 doesn't cut it.
-
We wouldn't have to worry about batterylife if they would just give us a "proper" powersource for our handhelds in the first place. I almost never bother with batteries since I use wall outlets.

-
I will most likely be getting one mostly because i want to play 1 perticular Resident Evil game thats coming out for it.
I will not however get it upon its release but will get it "eventually".
-
everyone here is making me think twice about getting a 3ds
-
Oh don't worry Oralox, I'm sure all the naysayyers will turn around once they actually have a hands-on impression. That's what all the game sites are saying; you can't really make a final judgment until you literally have the thing in your hands. That said, I know once I demo it a week before release I'll be convinced that it's a must-buy. And if 3D isn't your thing you can just shut the effect off. The only real downside is the price (which will drop eventually)
People were saying the same stuff when the DS slim was revealed, even when the GBA-SP was revealed too, "I'll stick with the original kthnx." Nowadays, does anybody still use a 1st gen DS to play their games? That thing is ancient-looking lmao.
also the inevitable new Mario Bros was recently confirmed (http://kotaku.com/5749209/a-new-super-mario-bros-is-coming-to-nintendo-3ds-asap), which will break all sorts of records no doubt.
-
I bought a DS, followed by a Lite, followed by a DSi XL; and I also bought one of the backlit SPs. :p But considering Nintendo's knack for releasing new, refined versions of their handhelds, and the ridiculous price tag of $250, I'll definitely be waiting for that price drop and newer model which will hopefully increase the battery life. I mean, by your reasoning, this first 3DS model will be looked upon as a piece of shit in a few years. "WHO PLAYS 3DS GAMES ON A FIRST MODEL 3DS ANYMORE? LOLOLOL!!!!"
-
This naysayer isn't changing, I use an original model GBA for my GBA games, and my GB games, I still have an old brick GB for GB games, I have a DS Lite for my DS needs, and a first model PSP for my PSP needs.
-
So by your logic you WILL be buying the 3DS since you probably won't be buying the future revisions amirite? ;)
-
I'm more inclined to buy a NGP at launch than the 3DS, since it's more of a evolution than the last... the 3DS only brings the 3D, and I don't like it... oh yeah, the analog was a nice addition too. If the NGP announce a killer line up on the E3, then that what I'll buy first. But I'll get a 3DS too, just sometime later, since it's inevitable to see a Castlevania game getting announced there.
-
Sony better give that sheeit a different name upon release, because NGP will always make me think of Neo Geo Pocket.
-

It needs more than Puzzle Bobble to win me over, plus at that price, I can get a boatload of classic games.
-
It does seem a bit expensive , but you have to admit that developing the glasses-free 3D screen probably cost a ton of research funding. Since it's basically a supped up, portable, 3D Wii an extra 50$ doesn't seem so bad. The PSP has never been any cheaper at release time. Not to mention that as soon as they start getting traded in GameStop will have them for 200$.

Just like those glasses-free 3D flatscreen TVs they're advertising now uh?

The 3DS doesn't just bring 3D, its significantly more powerful than the DS and the cartridges also can store a much larger amount of data.
-
Is the cartrage size like that of the DS? Are they somewhat smaller or are they just a little bit bigger then the DS carts in order to store all that info?

Maybe. Depends on who developed them.
I think the cartridges are smaller than DS approaching SD size even, but don't quote me on that. I could have heard about it during development and the final product might be different. Thus far they've always been smaller on the newer gen than on the previous one.
-
Makes me wish the next-gen consoles would ditch discs and just go flash memory cartridges or something. Faster, sturdier...
-
I don't really have a problem with Disc loading now since they seem to be much faster then on the older systems. But yes, I'm very much in favor of the classic cartrage which take little to no time at all. Unless you're playing Civilization for the SNES and that game had loadtime for whatever reason. :P

Okay im not getting a 3ds now :-X

Hell yeah! I hate having my games get scratched.
-
I will probably pick up a 3DS over an NGP. Mainly due to the fact that there are going to be more games on it that I like(Super Street Fighter 4, Resident Evil, Zelda, ect.) and personally, the NGP doesn't hook me in as much. Don't get me wrong though, the fact that the NGP is having a second analong stick, better graphics, and a touch screen is a big improvement over it's predecessor.
-
I feel the same way about the NGP.
The only real improvement it the second analogue stick.
The touch screen should have been there from the beginning and is just another cue taken from Nintendo's innovative example.
And I really don't give a rat's ass about the graphics. That's just icing.
-
My main beef with the NGP is that it's just going to have what I'd rather play on a console anyway.
That and no UMD compatibility sucks.
-
UMD sucks, they admited that even, so I think using it would be ridiculous at this point. Play the games on your PSP.
3DS don't have nothing innovative besides the 3D (lol) and the analog. It'll just like a natural evolution of the DS.
What I'll buy first only depends on Sony, when they announce the official line up for NGP.

Well besides 3D, you have to admit the graphics(not that i care about this aspect really) look much nicer than the DS's graphics ever did. On top of that, there seems to be more third party support with this system and they don't all seem like shovelware. I am looking forward to the upcoming ssf4 port, that game looks kick ass and playing it on the go with all the content of the console version(and more) is really convenient.
-
No one seems to be mentioning the 3DS's motion controls.
-
I'm sort of torn between getting one, at $349.00 AU and no zelda title to start with.
or to get a few ps3 games..........
Need for speed shift 2 unleashed
Mortal Kombat
and Duke forever.
Will have to see what the 3ds looks like first.... then decide.
-
I am waiting for the eventual release of 3DSi Lite XL.
Maybe then I'll consider buying one.
-
Day one purchase for me.
NGP, urrrr...
I got a psp and used it for like a month. NGP doesn't seem to indicate it wouldn't be the same. I don't care much for Killzone, Uncharted and Twisted Metal as it is.
