fuck it, preordered. YES COBO (also I get to write it off).

I plan on haXor1ng it as soon as I possibly can and in those cases it's always best to have first-revision hardware. more importantly, PAPER MARIO 3DS.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Nintendo saw my pre-order and immediately decided to delay Paper Mario 3DS for like five years tho :(

you know what, i just realized i've never preordered a system before and that this thing is gonna sell for twice what i bought it for on ebay if i wanna ditch it so fuckit i'm treating myself.

i do feel like the proper response to "$250" is "fuckit" though

so tempted. on one hand, i finally got a job. on the other hand, i finally got a job.

maybe i'll just buy them for scalping

too many problems with this to buy any time soon. gonna be interesting to see what sony announce about the psp2 next week though.

NA launch titles according to Defucktoid:

http://www.destructoid.com/3ds-north-american-launch-titles-192044.phtml

* Pilotwings Resort
* Nintendogs + Cats
* Steeldiver
* Dead or Alive
* Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D
* Madden NFL
* Super Street Fighter IV 3D
* Asphalt 3D
* Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D
* Ridge Racer 3D
* Resident Evil: The Mercenaries
* LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Pilotwings and Steeldiver it is then.

Awful launch line-up.

yeah, surprisingly so given the initial announce.

c'mon, lego star wars in 3d will be pretty cool.

Traveller's Tales? It will be awful.

I wish I was 13 again*, and knew the rich kid in school who would buy this so I could play the shit out of it but not drop the ££s on it.

*I dont wish I was 13 again....but you get my point.

really? i'm pretty psyched for SFIV, Mercenaries (the bonus mode in RE4 was great!) and that Ghost Recon game being done by the XCom dude

does seem like it would be more prudent to see if they are good bundles during the holiday season, or just wait for the inevitable first revision

oh WOW did not know Ghost Recon was Nu-X-Com, guess that's happening day-one too.

yep, it's turn-based ^_^ probably won't have any overhead strategy though - none of Gallop's post-X-Com games have had base building, just the tactical portions. still very intriguing.

Hell Fuckin Yeah to these 3

Crush 3D (Sega)
Steel Diver (Nintendo)

tentative Hell Yeah about these 2

Anyone else get the feeling that they are rush releasing this to get it out before the end of the financial year?
most the games that are ready at launch are cheap ports, features like the VC shop and video playback aren't gong to be ready for launch & will come with a firmware upgrade at an unspecified date - in fact if you want to transfer the DSiware games you bought to the 3DS so you can sell your DSi the promised software solution to that is not going to make launch either.

again, the bottom line for me is that I can almost certainly resell it for what I paid for it within the first three months if i don't like it.
if you don't think these things are gonna be sold out for six months you gotta be crazy.

Cave Story 3DS
- actually 2.5d like NSMB
- more content developed w/ Pixel
- retail version, not downloadable

Lots of UK places are doing sub-£200 preorders now.

At sub-£200 I am actually getting pretty tempted. Still probably wont actually pre-order one, and therefore miss out.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (Atlus)

As much as I love that game and think it is maybe the best DS game, I just can't imagine how 3DS will contribute to it

Ok, just ordered from tesco for a NUTS price of £157.60.

http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-8270.aspx

no way they are going to honour that. but worth a try!

Well yeah, that's what I figured.

Why did they ruin Kid Icarus, argh.

how can one ruin Kid Icarus

I loved that game as a kid.

No one agrees with me, I know.

C/D: Kid Icarus

holy shit, the music from this post is still live somehow!

So good

I wanted the new game to be more like Mario Galaxy, I guess. A 3D game world that still evokes the old game. But instead they made it in an anime style that feels weird to me with that property.

Of course I'd also like an updated sidescroller but I know those don't tend to sell well.

i'm still not entirely sure just WHY i've preordered this as I hate 3D in general and none of the immediate launch titles screams MUST HAVE but i suppose reselling the thing for face value after a month or three of testdriving is reason enough to have a go at it.

I had a couple of chances to buy one with a free game for $300 but couldn't be bothered. Maybe I dunno another £160 deal will emerge and I'll just import it.

Because, you know, your pound is so pissweak that we can't ever go wrong atm.

why in the FUCK is this not launching with Layton in the US

cos they still want to sell you Layton 4 before you get this one

(tho wouldn't be surprised if Layton 4 never makes it abroad - its got a bonus RPG thats probably not worth their time localising)

DO you know why I am stoked for the 3DS: every screen shot from a 3DS game in the new Nintendo Power has a red bar at the bottom w/all caps warning "2D IMAGE OF A 3DS GAME." Until they get the ability to publish 3D images, this hilarity will ensue!

btw HOLY FUCK LAYTON RPG!

big-ass article about Julian Gollop's Ghost Recon. sounds awesome! bonus points for the subtle Sid Meier quote (the whole "interesting choices" thing).

Iwata: Well, I feel that I've started to understand, little by little, what makes Ocarina of Time special. Of course, the Nintendo 3DS version of Ocarina of Time is crammed with interesting things that weren't in the Nintendo 64 version, but we'll wait to talk about those the release.

IWATA YOU FUCKIN TEASE!

I have pre-ordered (Cosmos Black).

I have not pre-ordered any games?

Perhaps I should do this!!

i think a gamefly subscription is a better idea than buying a bunch of games as the first run of stuff will likely include three good games and a slew of shitty half hour playtime gimmick runs
