I believe it's pretty much the same sort of thing if I remember correctly from going from 3DS to 3DS XL.
I have my fingers crossed that someday they'll simplify their stupid system. I have no clue what I'd do if someone stole my 3DS or Wii U.

Why not pre-order it from Best Buy where you can get The Legend of Zelda : Oracle of Ages download code emailed to you with purchase? (and 20% discount for Gamer Club Unlocked members?)

And now Jett Rocket II is randomly in the eshop. This is the best day of my life!
There is also a Zelda sale in the eshop now. The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II are both $3.49 each in either the Wii U or 3DS shops. Link's Awakening is $3.99 on 3DS.
For the next 4 weeks, there will be character themed sales. Next week is Mega Man, followed by Mario and finally Donkey Kong.

I dont see this Zelda sale. Is it over already?

We're about to be flooded with reviews for A Link Between Worlds - the review embargo ends in less than ten minutes.

Oh Destroid, giving 6.5/10 because it's not magical. There is the outlier I guess.
It's getting anywhere from 90% and higher elsewhere - IGN gave it a 9.4, a 9 from GameSpot which is great from them, lots of perfect scores.
A 9.8 from GameTrailers - http://www.gametrailers.com/reviews/...-worlds-review

THE VERDICT
What could have been an easy sequel that traded on past glories is instead a compelling argument for digging up the foundations of Zelda and seeing what happens - rather like Wind Waker did 10 years ago. A Link Between Words is not a total revolution, but it may very well be the start of one. I haven’t been so challenged by a Zelda since Ocarina of Time, and rarely have I been so consistently surprised by one.
Between Worlds recaptures the spirit of adventure that gave the early games Zelda their potency, and lays out a vision for Zelda games still to come. It invites them - and us, the long-term fans - to let go of conventions that may have been comforting, but were ultimately holding us back. It’s at once intensely nostalgic and powerfully novel, unpatronising and cerebral. As a Zelda fan, I couldn’t wish for much more.

Re: Nintendo Announces 3DS - 3D w/o Glasses!
I'm debating getting this or playing Link to the Past first as I (shocking i know) have never played it and will probably miss out on some stuff having not played it.

Start playing A Link to the Past now. I'm sure there will be some connections (of varying degrees) but it's one of the best games of all-time.

Thanks. Downloaded it tonight. Still as fun as when I was 11. I'll try to finish it before the new one comes out. Just wish I could play it on the Wii as well.

Re: Nintendo Announces 3DS - 3D w/o Glasses!
Really dumb question...
Can 3DS games be played in a standard Nintendo DS? For example, the new Zelda... can I pop that in and play it in 2D, or do I HAVE to have a 3DS or 3DS XL to play it?

Oh. 
I think my wife has a DS "lite" or whatever... so that won't play it at all. I was hoping it'd still work, just without the 3D (of course), but that's why the 2DS exists, right? I'm not sure I can justify purchasing one of the newer models, despite how much I want to play A Link Between Worlds.

Re: Nintendo Announces 3DS - 3D w/o Glasses!
^ Exactly what he said. Seems like a good plan. Especially with the sales on 2DS that will be happening in Black Friday. Also, Cowboom is a great place to get a used 3DS for a great price. I got my 3DS XL off of there last January for about $108...it was graded a 4 which meant if had imperfections...but it was flawless outside of missing the AC adapter. Seems to be the experience most people have with Cowboom.
