Here in Holland, the cheapest one I've seen so far was €158,- at Free Record Shop.

Geesh! How hard can it be? Without too much effort they could even include online capabilities if they really wanted too.

If GBA VC games ever become available to everyone, which I think will eventualy happen, perhaps they will do it.

I wanna see Super Mario Galaxy 2 and New SMB Wii as well, I haven't played those yet.

Don't have a DSi to try this on. BTW, I hear there is a cool new 3D version of Flipnote coming up for 3DS owners. If only they allowed that version as well, more of use could've tried it out.

I loved this game, but got tired of the lock-on system, which I found annoying, before I took the time to finish it. I should buy a copy of the Wii compilation sometime.

Yay! I'm glad that NintendoLife at least takes the time to give Samus here well-deserved birthday recognition. Nintendo only did that for Mario and Zelda.

This is gonna be sweet!

Super Mario Galaxy was a tremendous achievement in any concievable way. I don't know how they are gonna top that in creativity.

Amazing Mirror is ab utterly overlooked Kirby game. One of the most enjoyable games in the series. It's kinda like other Kirby games but mixed with a little bit of Metroid.

Anyway, I'm expecting Minish Cap.

I do not feel tempted to buy it before 12 August. The games on that list are ones I am either not interested in or ones I already own on other systems.

I am interested in picking one up next month, though. It's mostly because of the legacy of Nintendo handhelds. I loved the DS and the various Game Boy systems before it. I was actually waiting to buy one at the first price drop, but I didn't expect it to come this soon.

What concerns me about 3DS, though, is that the 3D will turn out to be not much more than a gimmick. The DS and the Wii introduced engaging new ways of playing games and would sometimes even make the gap between player and game feel a lot smaller. I think it's a really cool effect, but it didn't bring up any ideas in my mind immediately on how it could be put to use. With the DS and Wii, I immediately saw the potential and how developers could apply it. I think that's why those two systems were so phenomenally succesful.

I do not see that same amount of potential in the 3D effects on the 3DS. It kinda feels like a purely cosmetic thing. It makes the games seem more realistic and alive, but nothing that could be put into gameplay mechanics. This is because the 3DS does not introduce any new means of control, like the Wii and DS did, rendering most of the innovations purely cosmetic. I admit I really like the AR and how 3D works really well in making it feel even more realistic, but it doesn't actually rely on 3D. It makes it look a lot cooler, but nothing else.

The 3DS is more of an evolution, rather than a revolution like its predecessor was. Nintendo will have to proof the 3DS is more than just a next-gen DS when you turn the 3D off.

That's what you get for making the new Pokémon a slightly underwhelming DS game instead of a 3DS launch title.

Mario Kart 3D would have been a more logical name if you ask me.

Here's hoping that eventually the GBA games will be VC titles open to the rest of us as well, which I expect to happen sometime in the coming year eventually.

Yaaaay! I was thinking about picking one up this summer so this is great news!

U mad, early adopters?

I don't see why not. I prefer Wind Waker, though.

That's a fail that does not deserve to be called epic!

Looks excellent just like the other sites.

Too bad, I really was enchanted by the visual presentation.

Speaking of which, it couldbe very suitable for a LEGO-style racer where you build the cars and tracks yourself in a Minecraft-like setting. Now THAT would be cool.

Just 500 point for 3D Pixel Racing? I really hope it turns out well because it looks pretty sweet for such a price..

Seems it could have been even worse than it already is.

It would be cool if you could build new cars or even tracks from those blocks. This looks really awesome!

I doubt Nintendo is celebrating the 25th anniversary like they did with Mario and now with Zelda, which is just not doing the great Metroid series justice. Thankfully, fans are there to do so.

The AR potential is definitely there when it comes to museums.

Tachnically, all you need is developers that implement a 3D mode and costumers owning 3D TV's. In a sense the Wii is technically 3D-capable.

It depends on developers entirely. Particularly PS3 developers are busy with 3D even though the hardware wasn't initially made with 3D in mind.

This game was designed to be beatable by tounger audiences as well.

They succeeded, this the first video game I actually beat.

This was one of the best-looking games in the early GBA era.

Release it here, already!

I recently beat the monochrome version but I must get this coloured version as soon as I get a 3DS and play that as well.

The best game ever back then, still the best game ever now and even better than ever. Life is good. No matter how many times I've played through this game, it always brings joy and enchantment. Magnificent in any possible way. What makes this game so special is not just that every detail and little gameplay element is executed tremendously well, but also the fact that they all blend together seamlessly!

Still as great a coming-of-age fantasy epic as it ever was. What makes Ocarina of Time so special is not just the fact that all the individual elements, even the tiniest, least important ones, are executed so well, but also the way they blend together seamlessly.

We'll see. I hope they do it better this time around. From what I'm hearing so far, Nintendo is determined to do just that.

That looks amazing!

Looks pretty cool... but in a remake I like it when it still looks familiar without making it look archaic. This is just a complete overhaul.

What appealed to me in the original were the simple-yet-charming sprite graphics. That's all gone here.

Not surprised about GC discs. I'll hold on to the normal Wii or even my old GC.

Is it multi-touch?

Perhaps you should consider changing the title of this article a little bit or is that just me?

Is this a new game or the GBA version?

This looks A-MA-ZING!

And the mosquito is back! Oh, and the Tetris part is genius.

That's great news. I'm so happy they do this kind of stuff on 3DS as well.

I don't think technology is far enough to make a game like OoT easy and quick enough to download, without the unit becoming very expensive. You cannot compare such games with a simple-yet-fun title like Angry Birds.

But, and I am sorry if I'm one of those green eco-whiners, I really hope to see downloads becoming the only way to get new games within a few years. It will save manufacturing and packaging costs, and there won't be any need to cut down anymore trees. Cheaper for manufacturers, costumers and better for the planet.

I read a comic in a gaming magazine that combined Ocarina of Time's time travelling with BttF.

This one's like a week old...

Not really that much of a Sonic fan.

So awesome!

That looks like a really cool idea.

By the time E3 rolls around, it also has a pencil sharpener, a coffee maker and a toothpick.

Saw this on the news the other day. Really cool!

Ocarina truly is the greatest game there is!

Exactly like the game: the same old artwork but looking better than ever.

An absolute VC essential! Few games I've played do such a great job at telling a story.
