@SilentHunter382 You got the right idea, but there's more. The 3DS and CPP do infrared connection. The built-in circlepad would waste that infrared port. Also, the circlepad would take up more room. It's not as simple as just placing a circlepad somewhere.
EDIT: Also, including it would make original 3DS owners, especially Ambassadors like myself that paid $250 (or whatever it cost in your country) very angry.

@James Sonic can run on water. Just saying. As for myself, I'm a huge Sonic fan, so I'll get this. I liked the first better than Mario Kart, so this will be great.

I expect the next one to have roughly the power of PS Vita and keep the 3D. I hope the 3D remains an option for all future Nintendo handhelds.

Theses are nice numbers. I sense a repeat of the DS vs. PSP scenario.

@shinesprite Reggie is Ganondorf, Miyamoto is Link, and Iwata is Zelda.

Soooooooooooooooo...many...POWERUPS!

Don't get too angry yet. You don't have to buy it, and it might end up having WAY more content. You never know until it happens.

Silly people! You're not supposed to talk with search engines!

@LordJumpMad Admit it. We all know you love to be that guy. I agree with that though. Pacman would be alright, and maybe some assist trophy nods, but that should be it. I miss Brawl...

I'm literally crying. James is my favorite staff member.Good luck.

I'll get it if it's between $10 and $15 and is also a retail download.

I haven't played Tekken, but if it's got a lot of combos, they could show the moves on the touch screen.

@Flowerlark I used to have that Zelda DS Lite. My brother grabbed it from me and broke the hinge. He later let a friend borrow it for a weekend. He "lost" it.

Now I get why people actually enjoy this game! It came with a map! I wish I knew that earlier. For years I could never find the second dungeon- hell, I STILL can't find
it. Now I just want some way to print out that map.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY RINGS!

I hope the 3DS will have Miiverse accessible from the home menu, but I doubt it will happen.

@Palom Beat me to it.

@Super-Maro-Fan HA! I finally know your birthdate! Ha ha ha ha ha! I'm a creepy stalker that needs to know everyone's birthdate! JK. I miss my GBA SP though. It was supposed to be my first system, but my parents got a GameCube instead because my brother wanted it. I was genuinely angry about that.

@Bubbab55 No.

@SuperMarioGalaxy DAT BRASS!

@Littlerves I third that notion. It was surprisingly my favorite as well. I didn't expect that much out of it, but it was great.

I'm surprised this wasn't made by James. (Listens to Angel Island)

The blue reminds me of my old DSi.

I'm speechless. I've never seen a download week this good.

I'm getting this because my 3DS' L and R buttons started to function weirdly to the extent I don't enjoy it anymore unless I'm playing a game that doesn't use them.

Microsoft never really had many IPs besides Halo, and Sony has quite a few but they don't use them anymore. The only way for Nintendo to make as many new IPs is to screw most of their fans by releasing one Mario and one Zelda per system. The big idea here is that Nintendo has established excellent franchises that people don't want to leave. Remember all the clamor of Kid Icarus needing to come back? And how people still want another F-Zero? If Nintendo stops making games for a franchise, they get yelled at. If they don't make new "IPs", (I hate that term) they get yelled at.

I've really overdone the, "It's the Legend of Zelda and it's really rad," thing, so instead I'll just put this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leEq_TYVuxg&feature=related

@SandMan
Actually it's a video game sequel to a movie inspired by video games. I'd say that's better than a FPS game adaption of a movie inspired by a strategy board game.

I'm about 13, and I'm a huge Sonic fan. My parents bought me a Sonic shirt when I was a little kid. I soon found that the character on my shirt had his own games, and since then, Sonic games have always been my favorite. Also, I knew who wrote this before I clicked the link.

This would be written by James. I must agree with the first statement.

I'll probably get this on Black Friday, do a system transfer, sell my launch 3DS, and get a murse.

I'll get this eventually. Kind of stinks that I payed 50 extra at launch though.

Looks like Nintendo's stepping up their game.

Mario DLC! Nice!

I'm getting it. I mean, dat screen! I'll buy it, transfer, and then sell. I'm a sucker for Nintendo.

My wallet isn't ready.

I sense "Ambassador Program-Take Two".

Dear God! The lack of a second analog stick is horrendous!

I was merely jesting. I do apologise for my irksome behaviour.

My body feels just like a purple pikmin preparing to kick arse and take names.

@ocarinadude14
You're just jeoleous of my body because it's more ready than yours.

22 minutes long.

Could you please do live text? I can't use my computer right now and my phone can't watch live video streams.

Anybody else unable to log in on the HoR forum?

I must say that this asymmetric multiplayer reminds me of the 1 vs. 3 minigames in Mario Party. I loved those minigames, so I have a feeling I'll enjoy this very much.

I would pay for a Super GameBoy/GameBoy Player app on the Wii U.

@ThomasBW84 and @James
Could you add me? I'm getting Heroes of Ruin as soon as it comes out here in NA. My FC is 3909-7508-7026. As for what I'll be playing, I've been having a Zelda craze, so I've finally decided to actually spend the time with Skyward Sword that it deserves.

Could you guys add me? I'm getting it as soon as it comes out in NA. I'm away from my 3DS currently. So I will edit it in later.

@FluttershyGuy: Wish granted. You can look at that picture and you don't get to play Majora's Mask, even the original N64 version or its re-releases. Oops, wrong topic!
