	I'll probably pre-order it, if only for hope of Paper Mario release very soon. None of the launch titles stood out. I have a feeling that they'll be out of stock for a while. ____________________

With that in mind, I might buy three 3DS's so I can sell two of them once they sell out...

Just like what I should of done with the Wii's when they first came out

I had planed on being first in line at my local Wal-Mart to get the 3DS (like I was with the Wii) although after seeing what the launch titles are going to be I must admit that I'm quite disappointed. I was hoping that at least some Mario game or Ocarina of Time would be a launch title although right now it looks like that isn't going to be the case...

	Nope. Just not interested in it. I don't really use my handhelds that much. ____________________

I can't afford $250 for a handheld.

When the price drops, though, I plan to get it.

It's neat but I probably won't get it right away, if I get it at all. I'm not much of a gamer, and 3d effects never work particularly well for me.

I will get one, but probably not at launch... I'll wait to see how the game lineup finally shakes out.

I will say that a lot of the new features are nice, though... including Nintendo *FINALLY* making the Friend Code format acceptable by having one code per system - NOT per game.

Behold this post by the Great and Powerful Trixie!
Not changing my DS phat for anything in the world in at least a few more years. I can't go around buying systems like anything you know.

When the there stop being DS games altogether and they have a better model, I'll get one. (Actually, I kind of don't like the buttons layout, but whatever)

I got a GBA to play GBC and GBA games, after all.

Yeah, Trixie layout. I was thinking about doing a Twilight one based on cpu's Stocking one as a joke, but I'm too lazy. Maybe later. Also yes, ponies.

Nintendo isn't exactly known for long term support of previous systems. Maybe a year or so but not to the extent of Sony. DSi is to the DS as the GBC is to the original GB. They still made games compatible with both for a whilr, but after the GBA came about, it replaced the GB/GBC pretty quick. I can see the 3DS pretty quickly replacing the DS in the same way, so I wouldn't depend on them releasing games for it for much longer.

I'm really excited for Star Fox 3DS. hope they don't fuck it up with some gimmick.

Apparently there's some type of easy mode (of course) along with a score attack mode and improved multiplayer. So at least they're adding some bells and whistles.

Ocarina of Time won't have any new content but it'll have a MUCH improved inventory system on the bottom screen. You know how annoying the Water Temple was? More tolerable now thanks to this.

Hi. I am a poor. 

But Starfox 3DS looks very tempting, so it'll likely be the first game I'll get when I can.

Turns out my tax refund is going to be about $400 more than I thought, so I'm gonna change my last vote. I'll get it while I know I'll have the money.

Fixed the thread title for you, Pyratroopa. Anyway, don't think I'll be getting one at launch (gonna spend my Christmas stash on something more useful, like an Android phone and an Arduino project kit), but definitely before the end of the year. After all, I want my day-zero flashcarts to still work when I buy mine ____________________ board2 - Jul - OC ReMix

Probably not, I'm poor!

But when I do get one, it'll be that sleek red one. Looks so awesome.

regardless, it's still the same 12-year-old game

i don't see any particular reason to buy it if i already have that master quest wind waker preorder bonus

maybe if i hadn't gotten that bonus, since i never really owned ocarina of time :/
