i still haven't found a single 3ds game that's enticing me to buy the system over while DS lite games have kept me busy even till now. But if you have the money to spend, it sure is a cool toy to show off to your friends

There's a good and a bad side. It's gonna cost a lot of money, but games are probably going to be 3DS only. Just like how no one makes GBA games anymore.

The 3DS is worth the money, not because of the 3D (though the 3D is really nice in some games), but because of the fact it is a general improvement over the DS family. In addition, if you want to keep playing new DS games, then they're going to start being for 3DS only.

Besides, if there aren't any games that you might want just yet, I'm sure something in the future will come out.

I am debating about purchasing one as well, I think I may wait until the 3ds XL (don't care about 3D, just the bigger screen) releases in Canada, but upon further research I may say screw the 3ds and just buy a DS and save over 100 bucks :/

You and me both. I'm also going for the 3DS XL due to the big *** screen itself (was actually thinking about getting a DSI XL two years back, but couldn't save money from my job to get one) so playing DS games on it would be a blast.

The 3DS being worth the money depends on how big of a fan you are of nintendo. Course the latest mario and kid icarus itself is a console buyer factor for me. The 3D is more of a bonus for me and I'm seeing myself just imply turning it on just to simply wow the people around me if I'm playing this in the office (add the bigger screens to the wow factor as well).

No, the 3ds is really expensive and the games are too. I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm waiting until Fire Emblem comes out for the 3DS. Then it's mine.

i'd wait for one of those package deals that comes with a game and maybe some other sales bonus, if we're talking about just waiting

 

at the moment there are fun games to be had but it's not ds volumes yet by a long shot

 

ofc all i really needed was harvest moon 3ds heheheh

 

as for the 3d being gimmicky the real attraction is the increased graphical power

 

and believe it or not the graphics are actually clearer when you turn the 3d on, as if there's a subtle level of depth capable of expressing visual detail beyond that which we have now, and what we obviously perceive when things "pop out" from earlier iterations of 3d technology

 

it's hard to explain on simple terms though

I think it's a good system and plus if u like the Mario bro games u need the 3ds system to play the new game I think

[adol135]

Yes it is worthy, just buy some of that games that are in Club Nintedo and claim for the code

i have a ds lite and a 3ds; the original one not the new one with the better processor. I only have a few games on my 3ds and play it much less than my ds lite. i probably bought more games for my ds lite too. there just aren't enough games on the 3ds to keep me interested. i liked the touch screen games like trauma center, phoenix wright, etc. they don't have a lot of those for the new ds. I also play my ds more because the 3ds has horrible battery life. I can get a few hours on my 3ds with the 3d turned off, but I can play for maybe 12 hours on my ds lite. I turned off both consoles and they were both fully charge. After about 6 months of not turning it on, my 3ds batter was completely drained and my ds lite still had about half the battery left. my ds lite is about 7 years old so that says a lot about the battery life of the 3ds.
