Is that really necassary? Im asking this question because I know that not everyone will switch to the N3DS. Sheesh. Are people really this harsh on NLife? :/

Not everyone, just the most...loyal, I suppose. It is obnoxious, though. Like everyone's gonna upgrade. I would upgrade, but I need to save my money.

Oh thanks for the reply. It just seems a little harsh on how some people answer on here. I just think there was no need for that on here, NLife. Again, thanks.

I am very undecided....Just got a chunk of change and not sure to get a PS3 or a 3DS. There is no good PS3 bundles right now so that gives me a week to see the nintendo presentation to help me make a decision. I have a wii and love it, and a lot of the ps3 games dont appeal to me because I can just get them on my computer. But bluray would be sooooo nice!

Is 3DS backwards compatible with the DS? That will be a factor.

What do 'yall think? I know you are biased because we are in a nintendo forum! Thanks all,

People may take things too far, on simple jokes.
But' we're all mostly nice here....._{but me}

I probably won't get one until Nintendo releases some sort of "3DS Lite," or an update to the original system. I generally don't buy game systems the year they come out; I like to wait for an updated version. That, and I usually don't have enough money saved up for one until a year or two after the system comes out.

As tempting as it is, I think I would rather wait a year or two. I'm worried not only about the cost of the system but also the cost of the games. Iwata's hints seem to suggest the games will cost just as much as Wii games. If I had any extra money, I would love to get a DSi XL to replace my lite. My current DS has a very scratched up touch screen from a short period when I didn't realize my stylus had the equivalent of a hangnail (can't think of a better way to put it). Sadly, I think I will be using my lite for a good while yet. Either way, I know I can find high-quality DS games for cheap, and I know I won't be able to do the same with retail 3DS games.

I don't think Nintendo will be keen on doing repeats of portable games, but it's inevitable.

There were 3 revisions of the Game Boy before the Advance came in, and the Advance was redesigned once.

The DS was re-did 3 more times. So yeah, hope for a redesign, but not really an exact redesign like last gen.

Nope, holding out for the 3DSi. Even skipping the lite redesign, probably won't add much.

The Nintendo DS was re-did 3 times? I thought it was only two? The Nintendo DS (Phat) and the Nintendo DS Lite (Smaller and neater version of the Phat) Then came the Nintendo DSi which was a completely different console.

I think there are a lot of people that might be holding off on getting one. I live in a decent-sized city and was the first to reserve it at my GameStop. And I didn't get there to reserve it until WEDNESDAY, three whole days after GameStops apparently started taking reservations. Found it curious. The economy isn't too great here, and something like this looks like a sign of that. Of course it could also be that nobody had heard of the reservation program, but with the internet around, nobody is that ill-informed these days. And my GameStop is in a mall with heavy traffic, so it's not that the location isn't busy.

My conclusion: These are bad times for making any excessive pleasure purchase of hundreds of $. Or people are just afraid of it being Virtual Boy 2, LOL!
