Very disappointing indeed. On a side note: thanks Nintendo Life, now I've got ABBA's "Waterloo" stuck in my head for at least the rest of the day.

@Five-seveN I know it looks very good in the video and it's very promising, and the fact that they're rebuilding the entire thing from the ground up for the 3DS probably means that it's going to be a fantastic game (maybe THE killer app), but I'm trying to be realistic - and careful, because 3DS retail games in Brazil have a standard price of 75 dollars and I don't want to be disappointed. I decided to buy Rayman 3D (cost me the equivalent of 50 dollars in Brazilian currency) in spite of all the reviews and that taught me to be even more picky from now on.

I really hope this one comes to the 3DS. It's very interesting indeed, but there are not enough details and I prefer to read reviews first. Having said that, I sense I'll love it if I ever get to play it.

I'm very excited about this (never owned a Wii, so never got to experience its great platformers), but I'll wait and read some reviews before I buy it. The fact that it's a great game on the big screen doesn't mean it'll be a great game on the 3DS (as is the case with "Rayman Origins").

@Zeldalover Coincidentally, exact same thing here. I don't know why they haven't released SMB3 already; it came out on New Year's Day in Japan. I would also freak out if they released Pokémon (R/B/Y and G/S/C).

They haven't given any information as to when this is coming, right?

@1upLuigi Looks pretty cool. I gave my DS Lite to my 5-year old brother; let's see how long it'll take until he breaks the hinge and I have to do the same thing you did. My guess is within a week's time.

I didn't know that the DS Lite's hinge broke so often. I had mine for three years and took it everywhere, never owned a case, and it never broke. My only complaint about it is that it was very hard to keep clean. The small crevices were always dirty.

I've never owned a proper home console by any company, only Nintendo handhelds. I got tired of my GBA in 2005 because good games were expensive, and the DS was VERY expensive here in Brazil at the time, so I thought my gaming life was done for good. Then in 2009 I talked to a friend and he told me about the DS Lite, which was very accessible for gamers with little money, and I got a white one (identical to the one in the pics above) right away. It was my first true experience with great titles, and it helped me define my taste in games. My favorite one of the bunch, as you can tell from my avatar, is Henry Hatsworth; I probably beat it ten times in Gentleman Mode. I retired my DS in late 2012 after deciding that the 3DS XL and its games were a good investment.
