You guys forgot one really important issue: onboard storage. It's grossly inadequate since DSiWare can ONLY be launched from the system and not the SD card. I've been forced to stop downloading DSiWare games because I don't want to lose high scores and other save data on my DSiWare games. Not to mention the load of games I have on my SD card all downloaded but not playable.
.....grrr.....

Holy crap, awesome. I remember playing these in the arcade. And it has online? I'm sold. I hope the bundle is reasonably priced.....

I'm playing now
You want to join me?
My Nintendo Network ID is Kriedler

I'll be buying this if you give it a good review
But with this, SC2, Mirror of Fate, Lego City and two versions of Monster Hunter.... it's an expensive month

But, see, Nintendo throws around the word "value" a lot. They put out something inferior, like consoles that are weaker than far older ones; that lack Bluray/DVD support (despite the fact that Reggie said "time spent on any other device is a missed opportunity"); games that would have wildly benefited with online play but lack it for no apparent reason; and charging full retail price for 1+ year old digital games online, then they say "but, you're not thinking of the VALUE."
Why is it a value? If I'm going to get less for more, they'd better give me a damn good reason.
I do love my Wii U, but it's a missed opportunity
Or several, rather...

Searched Slayer, no hits. Instant pass.

I'll get this just for the awesome South Park reference in the first screen

Well, since they stiffed us in the PAL region on a retail release, guess I'm grabbing this one up

I love CDON, but they've been very wrong before. I preordered Dead or Alive Dimensions there, and when I inquired if the ban (that happened a day or two before release) meant I wouldn't be getting mine (they typically ship a few days before release), they didn't know anything about it and were so sure it was just sold out
Damn Swedes....

I'm more bummed that they didn't do what they did with Gold/Silver. Give extra functions etc for anyone using the new hardware. They could have at least given it the new aspect ratio for the top screen or StreetPass (it has a primitive StreetPass, if anyone remembers from the first B/W) if you're on the 3DS.

I'm actually surprised. The price of the NSMB2 download is actually cheaper in Norway than it would be in pretty much any store... by about 15%.
(This is one of the most expensive countries in the world, haha)

@James ME. And I played like hell, anyways

Finally, a reason to check Google+ other than Jessi June updates

Looks like some half-decent shovelware. If this gets a 6 or above, I might get it

Too bad I don't have a very impressive collection of games for either console. I'd love one for the 64, though. And a pocket-sized USB Gamecube would be AWESOME

Just played a few rounds and I loved it. This needs a release

I'd buy this on the eShop. Nintendo, if you're reading this, GIVE IT THE GO AHEAD. And for god's sake, don't censor it. Censorship is the bane of humanity.

@shingi: I know, right? I love their games, but not being able to launch DSiWare from my SD card is killing me. I don't want to delete any more save files to get more DSiWare games

If they really want to make the 3DS a great machine, they only need to do two things: Swapnote, and adding the ability to launch DSiWare from the SD card. Then, I'll be 100% satisfied with my purchase.
Oh, and when the new Flipnote comes, it'd be cool if they could be sent in a similar fashion to Swapnote

I hope this means they'll start listening to their fans now....

I'm gonna wait a little while to pick one up at all. I already know the next iteration of the 3DS will have the second stick on it. It's just a matter of how long until it comes out

@Dyl_Doe They did in the vein of RPG dungeon raiding, haha. I'm sad to say we may see a few more iterations of the classic Harvest Moon before we see anything spectacularly new

I couldn't figure out how to join the group, either. Am I missing something?

I'll be getting this, but I'll need to know if the L and R buttons will be used. Gotta know if I'm finally swapping DQIX out of my DSi or if I have to use my 3DS. Or I can just take my f'ing DSi apart and void the warranty....
But, I digress. Looks awesome. But, need more info

My first time playing a Metroid game was Metroid 2 on the GB. My friend said he was going to run it over whenever his parents left their keys around because he hated it so much, so I rescued it. I remember getting a Nintendo trading card a few years before with a picture of Samus on it, and had always thought she looked cool enough to give her game a shot. Never stopped playing since then. I've bought every_single_one by this time, and still pissed that the 3DS hasn't had an announcement for one yet

Wanna know how to win a lot of fans back? REMOVE THE REGION LOCKING. Do it. Freaking do it. I'm going to the States in September and I want to stock up on cheap games

WEAK.

Too bad. I liked the "original" port on the DS. Was kinda hoping for a more portable version

Just make the DSiWare version available in Europe, christ. I loved that game as a kid

I remember getting this one on the DS and thinking it was an awesome direct port of the original, but kindof a missed opportunity for an enhanced port
Features like moving in realtime until you make contact with enemies and such (like in Jagged Alliance 2) would have made the game a lot better

@Omega Assassin's Creed

Ok, it says there's multi on the box. I'm guessing we're not getting it on the VC?

Just say "randomizer" and I'm sold instantly. It kept me going on Diablo forever, it'll probably get me into this

Well, I'm contributing. I'm glad we're getting Xenoblade, but it's stupid that NA won't get it. This kind of crap is why you shouldn't region-lock

If it's all predetermined, what's the point? I guess it's just a tech demo, like albc5023 says

Since when did the DS screen not track multiple inputs? Anyone remember in Hotel Dusk when you had to hold those two breakers at once?

It had better include Europe, but I'll buy it, regardless. Love Excitebike
Now to get Excitebike 64 on the VC....

Looking good. This may be an early pickup for me

Man, we've been RAGEing about this one for like 3 days now

My wife loved this one

It'd be nice if it hit the VC ;P

No sir, got it on CDon.com
I asked them and they said they didn't order enough copies and mine would be along ASAP.... which probably means in like 3 weeks :@
But I did get free shipping on my next order to compensate

Awesome. My preorder didn't show today. I asked, and they said "SORRY DOOD WE DIDN'T ORDER ENUF"
And I don't know when mine's coming. I'm glad the promotion repeats '

List me as one of the lovers of F-Zero GX

I'd kill for another good F-Zero game.
The only complaints I had were the terrible soundtrack and the cheesy story (and the attack button mapping was better on the 64 X), but the track design was awesome, the graphics were incredible, and the game was stupidly fun
But BRING BACK THE DEATH RACE :@

"When a publisher declares to have up to 20 titles on a games console by the time it celebrates its first birthday, most can agree that's a pretty ambitious goal to set for yourself."

Yeah, or it's Ubisoft shoveling crapware at you

I'd go
Way too far from my house here or in the States, though

I'm still going to get it, but I'm bummed about the lack of online. And I don't know anybody nearby who even has a 3DS

This is really disappointing. It had better be an impressive shop with a good selection of games. And passable friend interaction. And a good browser. I was patient enough when they announced (a little late) that it wouldn't be day one, but now I'm feeling like I got screwed by getting their system at launch.

Man, I wouldn't even care about the flashcart blocks if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't seem to do a lot else. I'm really hoping it's for the 3DS transfer tool, but until we get that confirmed, I'll just be protesting the update on principle
I know it probably won't hurt my system, but all those stupid black screens people have been getting on the 3DS make me nervous. Grr, the curses of update-able firmware
