The state of the economy in the U.S. is a HUGE reason for the lower sales in the video game industry over the past few years, IMO. Most people simply do not have the disposable income they had a few years back.

It is utterly ridiculous that 95% of a year's releases occur within a few weeks around the holidays. Weeks later, many of these games have been reduced to bargain-bin prices b/c no human being could possibly play them all. Then, executives sit around and try to figure out what is wrong with the sales of video games. It is complete madness.

How hard is it to make a little kiddo game like this that doesn't completely suck? I mean, with the Chuck E. Cheese name attached ... this thing will practically sell itself. Pathetic, but completely expected.

Ice White looked sweet, but Apple has played out that color to death. Anxious to see what purple will look like in person ... and if it will de-throne Flame Red as the hottest 3DS color.

yeah ... mario party 9 is probably too little, too late. should have bumped it to wii u for release.

such differing opinions on the physics. i thought that this was a definite for me, but now i am reconsidering. especially with pushmo getting rave reviews.

Stateside ... pleeeaaasseee!

Awesome job. Every possible resolution to suit your needs. NLife done it again! BooYah!

Epic Yarn provided plenty of gameplay, if you sought 100% completion. Otherwise, I could see someone blowing through it pretty quickly.

The Flame Red 3DS may not look like much in pictures, but in person it is a real head turner. By far, the best looking color of the 3 released in the US. It is probably one of the most gorgeous finishes on an electronic device that I have ever seen.

Thanks for the comments regarding screen darkness. The early reviews on Amazon really made a point of this issue. Since I already own it on Xbox, I'm still on the fence about buying - especially without Medieval Madness and Arabian Knights.

Can you comment on any darkness issue when using 3D? Several comments on Amazon have suggested that the top screen is very dark when 3D is activated.

Yup ... Still waiting

Use the motion controls, lose the 3D sweet spot. Nah, thanks. Circle pad for me.
