Not much longer now, and it'll be worth owning a 3DS!

Why did I get a 3DS on launch day?

Nice review! Might have to pick this up sometime.

Zelda looks different in this picture than the GI cover... doesn't she? Or am I imagining things.

@mjforthewin

. It's not like it took that long to make Luigi playable... he's just Mario with green clothes, so who cares? :/

Glad too see they are supporting the DS still. It's wise, actually! I mean, might as well get some more money from the DS if people aren't buying the 3DS.

I love my red Mario 25th Anniversary XL, but I like the Pink one too. (But still nothing beats the red one.)

@I-U The screens on the XL are so fantastic. I can't even play DS games on my 3DS because I'm used to the clarity and size of the XL screens... if you do get a DS, that is definitely the model I recommend!

I am enjoying this game so far. I'm extremely biased when it comes to Pokemon, though. I think a 7 is fair, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who didn't enjoy the WiiWare title. It's gameplay is exactly the same.

I spent 40 bucks on it, no regrets. But like I said- I'm biased! I love Pokemon, any Pokemon. XD

Aw man! Why doesn't Nintendo ever have good colors at launch?!?! I would love to have this over my blue one... hmph.

I'll be playing Avenging Spirit, Majora's Mask, and Luigi's Mansion!

@19Robb92 Sunshine was my favorite 3D Mario. It had it's faults, but nevertheless it was the most unique of all the Mario titles and that is not always a bad thing! But.. It's all about opinions and perspective!

Anyway... Mario 3D Land.

This quote from the preview:
"It's modernising the past, not pointing to the future."

This made me both happy but sad at the same time. I'm glad we're going back to the old ways, but what about moving forward?

Regardless, I'm very much looking forward to playing this game and I am pre-ordering it very, very soon!

They said they currently have no plans to bring GBA to the eShop. I betcha they will eventually. But if they don't, well I will be disappointed, but I like the idea of my 3DS being a "collectors item". Hah!

LOL 7 people bought a PSP Go. XD

Seriously, glad to see the 3DS is selling. It's had/having a rocky start. But if anyone can pull through a rocky start on a console, it'll be Nintendo.

If only I had 500$ lying around...

A seven? I was expecting an 8 or 9... regardless I'm still picking this up since I have heard good things about the titles separately. Or, maybe I'm just desperate for a new 3DS game.

Really awesome guys!!

Hurray for NintendoLife, hands down the best Nintendo site!

:/ I wish this was fake.

Not buying unless there's a game the absolutely has to use this that I want.

This game looks nice. I will be buying if it comes out in the US.

Am I the only on looking forward to this? :/

Besides, a new generation of Pokemon won't come for a long while. The history of Pokemon releases show we have a BW revamp (like Emerald & Platinum) and remakes of older games, which this time will be Ruby & Saphire. Unless they surprise us, but I doubt we will be seeing a new generation any time soon.

I want the creepy friend collection game too.

Nice, I love the color!
Kind of wish I would have waited... oh well.

I want this! I love my Mario one but... this is so pretty! D:

I love this game to death.
I really feel motivated to beat it now!

Read the review on this one.
I will be buying eventually.

@42 No frills = nothing fancy.

Looks odd.

Why are they adding this though? What game could they be making that would absolutely require a second analog stick?

Thanks for the review! Will be downloading.

Mother 3... lol, NintendoLife. You make me laugh. I guess we can dream... right?

I just want Minish Cap and Mario & Luigi. Never played Advance Wars so that would be nice to.

Majora's Mask 3D? Or... Pokemon Ruby and Saphire Remakes?

Those two would make me happy. Otherwise, meh. Whatever.

Awesome! grabs 3DS

That's odd. In the US they were available day one... why is it taking so long?

Eh. Ok line up I guess. Can't complain, they are free!

I'm more excited for the GBA games anyway.

Can't wait! Not much longer left.

Ok, pre-ordering the DS version just for this.

I was going to get the 3DS version but forget it, I'm not waiting.

It appears they fixed the problems from last night.
I'm in! Yay!
(As I should be.. I bought it on launch day..)

Glad for everyone in Europe who gets to enjoy this game.

I sure do wish I could.

I was going to preorder but I'm waiting on info of some sort of collector's edition to be announced.

Still very exciting to have an official release date announced!

I think one generation of video game systems "flopping" isn't going to force Nintendo to stop making consoles.Remember how poorly the Gamecube sold?

I really don't think anything is going to make Nintendo give up, unless it gets really bad. And even then, I think they would end up like Sega making video games for other consoles... which I guess is the whole point of this article so why am I even typing this.

Great news!
And 3DS will do even better during the holiday shopping season!

Will be downloading!

I've never been a huge Kirby fan but I think this looks great. Will be picking it up!

@39 Prices on 3DS games will go down. :/ I've l already seen some go down to 20$. They aren't that much more expensive than the DS games anyway.

I have a feeling the 3DS will start selling better this holiday, but I highly doubt Nintendo will see the sales and 3rd party support that the DS saw. Which is unfortunate, the 3DS is a great machine. (But remember how much the DS sucked when it first came out? We need to give the 3DS time.)

Yes, phones are going to kill video game consoles!

Sarcasm aside, I do not know many people who have smart phones. Let alone play a lot of video games on them! They're good for casual, 5-second games. Not full on console games.

Buying all of these except for the last one. I can't wait for new games on my 3DS! Since I beat Zelda I have barely been playing except for Donkey Kong on Virtual Console...

Looks great. I will be downloading!

Looks nice. Might have to pick it up soon!

Thanks for another great review!

The red one looks really nice, but I still like the blue better.

@19 Lol. So quick to not like it just because the controller is a giant? Have you played with it? If not, then how do you know it sucks?

Anyway, I'm excited for the Wii U. I hope the online is as great as they're hyping it up to be!

That's awesome. Giant AR Card, here I come.

This will make me Gold for the year and all the 3DS games coming out will probably put me up to Platinum.

Also, I very much enjoy getting free stuff, which allows me to get more free stuff. Definitely makes up for the 80$ price drop. Thanks, Nintendo!

@MechaPhoenix @MasterGraveheart Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm going to start playing Metroid.
Which ones would you guys recommend for a beginner?
