It's just too expensive and too similar in design to the DS lite. Parents can't tell the difference between that and their kid's current DS. There's no incentive because it looks like "another one" I'd like to see this price drop and upcoming software cause the 3DS to rocket up the sales charts, but I'm not so sure the mass market really sees the value right now.
LOL, nintendo how can you continue to talk about the "value" of your games when you are releasing the same exact game on Wiiware for 10x the price. Most of the time nintendo is correct, but the way they handle digital games is very disappointing. Rarely any demos, no sales, no bargain.
EDIT: Also even with 100 levels...I doubt the majority take more than a minute or two to complete...so when you think about replay value and amount of content...it just doesn't add up.
Posters are nice...and I like the idea of the AR card (I don't have a 3DS though) I'll be saving my coins for anything metroid related in the future (what I really want is a metroid or samus figurine)
The game already has a development team...that really loves the game. Not sure how this would change anything. Capcom doesn't care about us or the game.
For $30 this game is a day one buy. For $50? No way, I'd rather just get Skyward Sword and wait for a price drop on this. Sadly the game is priced at 5800 yen so that's bad news for US (it'll most likely be $50 here)

Re: Talking Point: What If Nintendo Became a Third Party?
As long as nintendo sells hardware there is no reason to put content on other companies platforms. They must continue to have exclusivity.

The large majority of casual gamers won't even notice.

Re: First Impressions: Kirby: Mass Attack
It seems that since kirby's abilities aren't used at all this would have been a great game to launch a new IP with...just saying.
Re: Solatorobo Dev Would Like to Work on Mega Man Legends 3
The game already has a development team...that really loves the game. Not sure how this would change anything. Capcom doesn't care about us or the game.
Re: Capcom Apologises for Poorly Worded Tweet
Wanna apologize? Put megaman back in production.
Re: Capcom Blames the Fans for Mega Man Legends 3 Cancellation
It makes me angry. Very angry.

Woah, sounds pretty bad...good thing I'm only really interested in the HD versions.
Re: Mega Man Legends 3 Cancelled
All I feel is rage and sadness. I hate you capcom, I hate you.
Re: First Impressions: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
I think the d-pad should have been used for the camera, how often do you move and move the camera in metal gear right? It's not about run and gun.
Re: Review: 3D Pixel Racing (WiiWare)
Really cool graphics, what a shame they couldn't design a good racer around that.
Re: Dedicated Gamer Aces Dragon Quest IX After 773 Hours
I put about 10 hours into it...man he's really dedicated.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles is Coming Early, UK & Europe
Thanks NOE.
Re: Capcom Will Not Repeat Mercenaries 3D Save File Mistake
Oh really? How odd, I thought it was a fantastic idea! (sarcasm)
Re: Talking Point: The Growing Storm of Operation Rainfall
Then why is Nintendo of Europe bringing the games out? Are they stupid for doing it? Are they looking at losses?
Re: These Are Your Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@Koto They gave away a Zelda soundtrack for registering Ocarina 3D and will give out a different soundtrack for Skyward Sword
I really like this pin set. Nice packaging, cool designs. 3rd year of platinum for me.
Re: GameFly Isn't Renting Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D
I have no interest in the game regardless. Bring on Revelations.
Re: Talking Point: The Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D Save File Debate
I wouldn't have bought it regardless, but it's a bad decision to make the save permanent.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Bundle Pack is Beautiful
NOA wants to cater the hardcore crowd....next gen.
Re: RE Mercenaries 3D Save Data Will Not Die
A horrible decision that will only hurt consumer experience.

I liked Shadow the Hedgehog and loved Sonic riders. So...

No such time. Ever heard of the SEGA genesis and SNES? There has always been fanboys. And there always will be.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 Due "In the Near Future"
As long as they tweak the physics and have original levels. I'll buy it day one.
