I canceled my pre-order, saving money for the PSP2 Let's see how things play out by Christmas... If the PSP2 is not out by then, 3DS it is (or a better deal like buy the 3DS and get two games or something, we'll see).

NiCK Crush

If anything gets me to buy a 3DS, it will be these two games.

Fuck. I wanted to keep away from getting a 3DS, but a New SMB will definitely make me get one. Fuck!

I just cancelled my pre-order on Amazon. Will wait for the 3DS Lite...

The 3DS is already as small as the DS Lite.

DS: 148.7 mm (5.85 in) wide × 84.7 mm (3.33 in) deep × 28.9 mm (1.14 in) high
DSL: 133 mm (5.2 in) wide × 73.9 mm (2.91 in) deep × 21.87 mm (0.861 in) high
DSi: 137 mm (5.4 in) wide × 74.9 mm (2.95 in) deep × 18.9 mm (0.74 in) high
3DS: 134 mm (5.3 in) wide × 74 mm (2.9 in) deep × 21 mm (0.83 in) high

Most likely the next upgrade will be a 3DS XL.

Just curious as to why a 2D platformer would be the game that convinces you to buy a $250 3D gaming system.

Because 2D Mario platformers are my favorite games of all time; games that I can play over and over, and I'm assuming that this is the only device I'll be able to play this one on. And the pointlessness of a 2D platformer on a 3D system is what inspires my "fuck".

I wonder if we'll see Super Mario Galaxy 3 on this baby...

Anubis2005X

That may be, but once I saw this picture, I realized it looked much more like the original DS than the Lite version. When they make a slicker version with better form factor, then I might be a bit more interested.

I would love to make fun of them for ripping off Professor Layton, but I'll gladly take a Layton clone if it is good.

CAV gives a full official review of the system

I'm stoked. Got mine all paid off.

I'm starting to look forward to getting the 3DS. I just need to show some restraint and not pick up too many filler games while waiting for the bigger titles like Mario Kart and Zelda. I'll probably start with Nintendogs and Pilot Wings, although I may consider Super Monkey Ball if the reviews are good.

slop101

Don't like that the release date is a Sunday, which means we can't get release-date delivery from Amazon.

But I can't wait for all the soccer moms to assume that the 3DS will turn all their kid's regular DS games into 3D.

So the 3DS is still a thing and they've been talking about it at Iwata's keynote at GDC.

Netflix, 3D trailers, 3D video recording, DSiWare software transfer all discussed.

Looks like they're about to blow the lid off Mario 3DS.

Liver&Onions

Does anyone know if i need to have my current DSi present to innate a transfer of shit i bought, not that I care though? I'm considering trading it in for the 3DS.

pinata242

Supermallet

I've already traded mine in, so if you do need the DSi...fuck it.

CreatureX

3D Netflix content is pretty cool!

Liver&Onions

yeah, and i was trying to think of what's on it that I might want - couldn't remember shit, so I don't give a fuck.

Edison

Judging by the transcripts of the conference the only thing they stated about the DSiWare transfers is it will be an added feature sometime in May along with a web browser. Maybe you'll use your club.nintendo.com account to transfer titles?

CreatureX

Nintendo also announced the 3DS Virtual Console will feature Sega Game Gear and TurboGraphx-16 games.

Matt

When you see it, you'll shit bricks.

'eh. The Tanooki suit is overrated. It was awesome 20 years ago, but Mario has had better forms of flight since then.
