damn i wish i lived in san diego
These events never happen near me. Oh well, looks like it will be fun for those in attendance.
James, are u guys doing a review/impressions of the 3DS XL ? Ive read a few on other UK based sites.
there are 3 reasons that I would ever go to San Diego
1)This
2)Chargers games (Football)
3)The Wiener Dog Race Nationals (look it up on youtube)
I'd kill for the chance to play New Super Mario Bros. 2 a month early!
@TheHermit We still have our review up very soon. Watch this space!
I'll be excited to get my hands on the 3DS XL.
I'm not at all convinced that I'll be buying one anytime soon, but I'd like to check out the hardware before I completely write it off.
I'm adamant about picking up a 3DS XL, due in part to my fascination with drawing on a touch-screen, the benefits of drawing on a larger touch-screen, and the failing touch-screen of my current 3DS.
My avatar was drawn on Colors! 3D, and was quite a popular piece on the Colors site that week. I'm looking forward to drawing more on Colors! 3D, as well as Art Academy 3D in about 18 days time.
Nintendo should have WiiU there so the general public can try it out.... :/
I'm only 2,967 miles away from San Diego!! Better start walking...
No Wii U :{
Awesome! I'm going on Friday & Saturday! Man I can't wait for all of the Street Passing, since I've been pretty dry for awhile now and still need 4 Mario Tennis pieces.
@NintendoMaster: Hold B to run dude!
Awesome
Did Capcom say anything?....You know, about the 3DS? >_>
Awesome! Gonna get the 3DS XL, and this time, I'll try to go to the Comic Con. It'll be...like a dream.
Wish I could get someone to drive me over to San Diego. I only live like 2 hours away. D:
Also, I'm still waiting for my Animal Crossing: Jump Out info. D:<
There's so many games coming out now, It's great. I'll save a couple for my xmas wishes.
