@xenomaster Only if you have school after June 4th.

3DS is has sold 15 million worldwide, right? So, is that 9 million from Japan, 1 million from UK, and 4 million from US?

@James You want us to be here on NintendoLife during E3? Dude, I wouldn't have imagined it any other way.

I can't wait to see the Wii U's final product. I also can't wait to see what the competition is dishing out. Can't wait for the games that are going to be revealed... E3 is going to be incredible.

@rjejr I don't think that will be a problem. The WiiU is basically a Giant 3DS. When I play my 3DS, I don't find that I have to look at the touchscreen at the same time as I see the 3D screen. I think that when I use this, I will look mainly at my television and if I need to use the touchscreen for anything, then I will do so and once I'm done, I'll just look back at the TV. The only way I would encounter something like this is if they had a Call of Duty U and you used the controller to Aim Down the Sight (ADS).

I don't care. I like both the "original" design and this "newer" design. Either way, I'm getting a Wii U once I scrounge up the cash. The ONLY way I would have an actual opinion on the new controller is if the Final Product ended up being the same size as the CPP-infused 3DS (not the top screen, just the touchscreen, face buttons, L, R, Zl, Zr, Left and Right Circle pads, D-pad, start, select, home, and power buttons). By then it'd only be about 7 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches.

I would get it, but sadly, my friend who is INSANE over Kingdom Hearts is graduating and I won't be able to show him. You know...to entice him to buy it..., but since he's gone, I won't. Sorry, SquareEnix.

I was under the assumption that it was already happening. Elite Forces Unit 77 was a DS game, was it not? You can purchase that on the eShop.

Personally though, your picture makes me want Mario Kart DS as a downloadable title. I would like to have a good Mario Kart with me everywhere. I'm looking at you Super Circuit. Only the Super Circuit tracks though. Super Mario Kart tracks can stay.

I can't wait until Kindom Hearts Dream Drop Distance comes out. It is a DEFINITE buy.

Oh my goodness, thank you Nintendo!! I can finally go back to ENJOYING Mario Kart 7's online. I know I still have to wait until tomorrow before it is required, but I DON'T CARE. THAT'S ONLY 24 GLORIOUS HOURS UNTIL THE PLAYING FIELD IS LEVELLED!!

And now I will pick Maka Wuhu when I go online.

Alright. I don't care anymore, though.

Definitely going to hit up Mario Kart 7. I'll also delve into Kid Icarus: Uprising again to shoot for 9.0 intensity mastery.

As for the Wii, if I get time to play a home console, I'll have a go at Majora's Mask.

PFFFT! I have an Aqua Blue and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Go ahead, Nintendo! Make my system RARE.

Digital Download sounds cool, but I would rather have Physical Media. I mean, I like the idea of digital download for Virtual Console games because that means I don't have to go buy an N64 and the games I want which wouldn't be hard to find (thanks to an old game store near my house), but it would be expensive.

I like physical media because sometimes I get bored and when I can't play my games, I can still look at the boxes and whatnot.

Also, my brother has a PSP Go. His system went on the fritz and now it just randomly dies and comes back to life. I don't want a ton of awesome games stored on digital media only to be destroyed when my system finally kicks the bucket.

And then there is the obvious reason of being able to sell the physical media...

This looks pretty cool, but I'm going to pass on it unless all of my friends get it.

I don't care what games come out for launch because Nintendo will make some incredible and perfect games down the line. Also, Nintendo puts a decent game with the system.

I want the SYSTEM to be perfect. I got the Wii without any games (besides Wii Sports) and I enjoyed that and Mii Maker for the first 6 months. I got the 3DS without games and enjoyed Face Raiders. The Wii was (in my opinion) perfect at launch. The 3DS, not so much, but it was better than I thought it would be (I went straight from DS Lite to 3DS).

Here's the deal. If the game has Call of Duty in the title, it will come out for everything except the PSP and possibly 3DS. It will come out for PSVita (or at least CrossPlatform compatibility), 360, PS3, Wii, Wii U (eventually), cell phones, and wet napkin.

Actually, I also experience no discomfort using either set of controls.

For maximum comfort, I use the CPP, but I use the right-handed controls. I switch the right-handed shooting button to the R button so I can use ZL to shoot. I am also able to use my pinky to hold onto the right side of the now CPP bulked system in order to have two hands holding the system.

I personally love both sets of controls, but for different purposes.

I use the stylus controls for the on-rails flying segments because it is easier to survive and aim.

I use the ABXY face buttons to rotate the camera on the ground segments because to me the layout is similar to that of other third-person shooters (such as BattleFront and Tomb Raider) so using a "dual analog" option made more sense.

I did like how Sakurai-san decided to keep the touch-screen controls no matter what control option you choose. That was a nice touch.

I think the Wii U needs to do ONE thing and ONE thing only. It needs to come out at less than $500. I'm willing to pay at least up to $600, but a lot of people (even on nintendolife) aren't willing to pay for a console that expensive unless it is a Sony console. I don't care WHO made it, $600 is a LOT of money for some people (actually for anyone).

@Knux Yes. The awesomeness of Sony that makes you pay $600.

Iwata-san, I am already saving for the Wii U, I just want to know when I can get it. I still can't wait for E3!!

Just as long as it's as good as (good god that is a lot of "as") Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you have my support.

It's okay, Nintendo. I have a job now. I will buy as many games as possible. Even though that will only be an insignificant drop in the financial bucket of Nintendo.

@James Yeah, this would be the first CONSOLE loss, right? Didn't Nintendo make playing cards thirty years ago? What? Did they make a new set of cards and sold them at a loss because poker was dying out?

Nintendo, if you want to sell 10 million units in the first year, You have to...
A. Bring out a BAD-A$$ launch line-up.
B. Make sure the price doesn't pull a PS3.
C. Advertise it like it is a new console, not just a new controller.
D. Keep the Virtual Shop (UShop I guess) on par with the 3DS's eShop.
E. Make a new Mario/Zelda/Metriod within that first year (if it's not at launch)
F. Give one to this guy when he walks up with the money in his hand.

I'm perfectly content with our Update. We can't see the full name (or 3 letters) on the folder on the touchscreen, but now I don't have to scroll through 50+ icons to play something.

As for the eShop revamp, I didn't pay attention to the news, so this was a nice suprise.

All I want now is patching for MK7 and Kid Icarus.
MK7: Maka Wuhu glitch FIX
KI: Circle Pad Pro (Dual Analog) compatibility

I might have to buy this one second hand. I'll be sure the book is still with it though!

And as for the Wuhu glitch, I know a kid at school who uses it because "It puts me in first in online races." I can't wait to race HIM again the useless...

I cannot wait until tomorrow. I will have folders for...
3D Classics
GB Games
GBC Games
3DS Ware
DSiWare
GBA Games
and Videos.

My Apps such as Pokedex3D and Swapnote will stay unfoldered.

I'm probably going to get this one. I haven't gotten a ton of Mario games, but the ones I play I LOVE. I'll probably get Paper Mario first. I need an RPG for my 3DS.

And to all the haters of how many Mario games come out, don't get me started on the Call of Duty series. I love the series, but there is now LITERALLY a new Call of Duty game (or expansion) that comes out every five minutes.

$18 dollars is crazy expensive (for a downloadable game, in my opinion) and I would only spend that much if I got all of the Pokemon from past generations along with a game to play on the app itself.

Not trying to be cheap, but my most expensive eShop purchase so far is $10. I'm willing to go as high as $12 because I still have enough money to get another GOOD game. Like a 3D Classic.

I'm going to try and tackle Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS) again. I might also play some NES Ambassador Titles, GBA Ambassador Titles, and 007 Agent Under Fire (GCN). I need to get back to Monster Hunter Tri (Wii), but I've been away from DQIV:CotC for longer.

I don't care. I'm looking forward to the Wii U. If this is my first Wii U game, then I'll play the [expletive] out of it.

No Baldur's Gate on the Wii U will be sad, but on the other hand, I don't care. I have Zelda, Mario, Call of Duty, Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Kid Icarus, Soul Calibur, and a bunch of other games that will most likely take up my time as opposed to Baldur's Gate or a Champions of Norrath look alike.

Besides, we've got Heroes of Ruin coming to 3DS. There. Baldur's Gate hole filled.

Here is both a TIP and a FACT.

[You will] Use the motion controls. (Wii Remote and Nunchuck)
It makes aiming easier. Enough said.

Great game. I just hate the Ink Ribbon saving system. It doesn't work for a handheld game. You really have to think HARD about when you want to use one. Do you save after playing for 5 minutes just because you dealt with 20 Hunters without getting touched and you don't want to deal with them again? Or do you play for another hour and risk getting killed by a cheap shot and losing all your hard work? Most times you will choose the latter so you CAN have an "extra" Ink Ribbon or two.

Would have loved it a lot more if it had a Resident Evil 4 save system. Keep the typewriters, lose the Ink Ribbons.

"It's dangerous to go alone, take this!"

I love the exploration in this Zelda. I played it all the way through for my first time because I got it as an Ambassador title, and I have to say, it is definitely up there right along Ocarina and Twilight Princess. It is only difficult because if you don't have a brand new NES version of the game, you are left without a map. Yes, as most people know, the original Zelda gave you a map in-box with the NES cartridge. IT didn't show anything besides the area and some of the top was missing, but you basically knew where you were in relation to this vast and wondrous world.

In short, to fully enjoy this game, go online and find the original map.

9/10 in my book.

Decent sales. Decent sales...
@Myx Releasing the 3DS before any "quality" games were released, thus putting it out BEFORE the Vita led the system to get a 15 million headstart on the Vita in system sales. As for the launch titles not being quality, I quite think Super Street Fighter IV, Dead or Alive, and Nintendogs are great titles to launch a handheld on. As opposed to shrunken versions of what you could already get on the handheld's home console counterpart.

This was incredible. I might have to see if it is on iTunes...

Excuse me, Mr. Miyamoto, but how could you have made Angry Birds better if it was on the DS?

That's like saying "Is Microsoft/Sony over-reliant on Halo/Killzone?"

Every company needs their first party titles. If Microsoft just killed off the Gears of War franchise or if Sony just ended the Uncharted series, then there would be one less game to enjoy made by the company.

I was a day late in getting the 3D Classics Kid Icarus for my GameStop PreOrder, but I don't mind. I got plenty of freebies from Nintendo lately...
Legend of Zelda Four Swords Anniversary Edition
20 Ambassador Titles
Excitebike
Pokedex 3D
(free-ish) 4 Club Nintendo Rewards

That's 27 free games. Missing out on one is fine by me.

GUAAAH! ONE F*BOOP*ING DAY!!! JUST ONE G*BOOP* D*BOOP* DAY!!!

For everyone saying things about the WiiU's launch titles being simple ports of PS360 games, why is that a problem? It only makes the GAME more popular. Also, if I had the choice to get a next generation console that can play a last generation game, I would rather get the next gen console as opposed to the last gen console. "You could just get the game for the PS360 easily and cheaper." True, but in another two months when Sony and Microsoft make their PS4s and 720s, then what? They haven't been kind to backwards compatibility this generation, so...

And to everyone complaining about the $300 price (speculated), why?! Remember how the 360 and PS3 launched at over $300? And how the Wii came out at $250? Wouldn't $300 be perfect knowing that Sony and Microsoft would have to jack their price up EVEN more to both A. Make it more powerful than the WiiU and B. Avoid selling at a loss by making it more powerful?

Personally, $300 would be perfect and I would buy it day 1 if it came out around Christmas.

I just thought of something that I saw in the Wii U reveal video. Remember how they used the Wii U controller to use as a sniper scope? Imagine using that as an optional way to aim down the sight in a Call of Duty Wii U?

I love my 3DS in every way. i was happy with it when i got it in June. I didn't have to deal with no eShop or internet, but I didn't really use that since I was looking forward to the games and 3D. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, NINTENDO!!!!!

Happy Birthday 3DS! Thank you for the best handheld experience since I got my DS Lite years ago!

All this complaining about price is a bit annoying.

When they released the system, in my opinion, the $250 price tag was WORTH IT. It was an excellent voyage into portable 3D gaming, it had awesome features and games, and it was a part of the successful DS family.

I mean, if it was any cheaper, do you think you wouldn't be complaining about the price now? If it wasn't that expensive, then we wouldn't have a miraculous price drop and the Ambassador Program.

Which brings me to another point. If you paid the $250 price tag, you got twenty free games. FREE GAMES. And since all of the NES games are $5 so far, that is already $50 worth of FREE GAMES. That means that we got basically, a FIFTH of the price of the system in FREE GAMES. And then we got the GBA games and we don't even KNOW how much those are. Even if they are $5 a piece,m then we got $100 worth of FREE GAMES for paying $250. That means that we got $20 of extra FREE GAMES considering the new $170 price.

I'm really saying all of this to say, WHY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LAUNCH PRICE WHEN YOU GOT $100 WORTH OF FREE GAMES WHEN THE PRICE ONLY DROPPED $80?!

I only have three Nintendo 3DS games, so my top would have to be...

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
2. Mario Kart 7
3. Dead or Alive Dimensions

They're all very good, but putting them on a list, here's why I put them in their respective places.

Ocarina of Time is a MASTERPIECE. Every time I pick this one up, I find myself playing for hours on end. I love the music, the story, the characters, the gameplay...EVERYTHING. I even loved the Master Quest and Boss Rush Modes. I consider this to be gaming perfection.

Mario Kart 7 is just wonderful. Also, it's Mario Kart. At times it can be really unfair. I loved/hated Mirror Mode because everything I knew was new and refreshing and a LIE.

Dead or Alive Dimensions is awesome. I get to fight as a seductive collection of pixels and cool-looking dudes. However, this one is lower than MK7 because the online is pitiful. I either win or lose because I happened to mash the button as we started moving again. The story is also broken and confusing.
