The DS lives on. I love my 3DS, but I have about 50 games for my DS making it my most played system. And I am still buying games! It has a wonderful assortment of games. Platformers, fighters, adventure games, RPGs, casual games, and even shooters! It has something for everyone. It's no wonder the DS has run such a long, successful life.

Go DS!

Well deserved indeed.

Go Nintendo!

I enjoy both 2D and 3D gaming. I hope 2D stays around for a while!

The thought of 2D side-scrollers on the 3DS fascinates me. I can't wait for Cave Story 3D!!

I think they should wait till the holiday season next year. They should have done that with the 3DS.

The only reason I want this is because it'll sell better.

Very interesting. I will read this next time I have some time. Thanks for posting!

I might get this just for a controller. I need to get a second Wii Motion Plus controller anyway, why not pick up the game that's only 10 bucks more?

@Zephren

A Link to the Past probably won't happen, since we are getting Four Swords for free on the DSi Shop, and that was a part of that game. I would much rather have Minish Cap since I never got my hands on it.

Besides, a port of a port? That would suck... oh wait... Yoshi's Island... cough

It has a possibility of being extremely annoying, or really cool.

So we'll just have to wait and see.

For 8$, I might just have to download.

@20 Lol, "90 year old Zelda fan". I haven't even been a Zelda fan for that long, and I would love love love to go to this. Zelda captured my heart instantly when I first played it. And yes, I play all of the retro ones.

And yeah, everyone who plays retro games is 90!

Mega Man 2, Kid Icarius, and Kirby's Adventure.

Would also like to see Battletoads, but I highly doubt that will ever happen.

It's madness. This whole thing is madness.

But I have faith that Nintendo will pull through this, dust it off, and move on. Once Nintendo releases Mario Land/Mario Kart, the sales will pick up and they will be back on track. It's actually quite a genius move by them at the same time. For 200$, a child can open up his 3DS with Super Mario 3D Land or Mario Kart on Christmas morning. And, since the 3DS is around the same price as the DSi/XL, parents might just say "What the heck?" and get the 3DS instead.

It's genius, but madness at the same time.

No virtual console.

Me = sad. I can't wait to get those free games though. I guess it'll be worth the wait.

My list. I would happily pay for these games too. These are my favorites, or some I missed out on.

Pokemon FR/LG/R/S/E
Zelda: The Minish Cap
Mario & Luigi
Mother 3 (LOL, yeah right)
Harvest Moon
Golden Sun

... for NES the only one I can think of that I don't already own, would be Kid Icarius. (Not to mention, that would be a great marketing technique for Uprising!)

I really like the Pokeball one

Majora's Mask 3D PLEASE Nintendo! I'd be a happy camper. Lots of people want it. Why not?!

A new Zelda game on the 3DS would be good too, but a remake doesn't take as much work as a whole new game, and it wouldn't delay a new 3DS Zelda that much. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo already has a new Zelda in the works already.

"Pokemon Red on 3DS VC, that is all."

More like Red Blue and Yellow, and Gold Silver and Crystal. And the GBA games. I would buy all of them. (Pokemon obsessed.)

I'll be picking this up when it comes out.

"Make you wonder if other games have been held back due to the console's sales, though."

If they would just release good games for it instead of delaying everything, it would sell better.

Everyone needs to give the 3DS some time. The DS wasn't exactly the greatest console ever when it was first released. We also need to consider the fact that Nintendo loves hardware updates, people might be waiting for a newer, better 3DS to buy.

The DS is selling better because of 3 things. The recent price drop in the DS Lite, the fact the there are 3 different models of the DS available right now, and a library of fantastic games. The 3DS at the moment lacks all 3 of the those. Though Ocarina of Time 3D is fantastic, most people will need more than one game to really want a console. Give it some time, it might not do well, but it might end up selling as well as the DS, though that seems hard to top. It's too soon to tell yet.

"it’s not necessarily the case that we would use that graphic style or depiction the same way we would in a new Zelda, when there is a new Zelda for the Wii U."

WHYYYY. It looks so good. I hope they do use the graphics style... but as long as the story and gameplay is good, I won't mind.

Wait- are we really anticipating Zelda for the Wii U, when Skyward Sword hasn't even been released yet?!

GHEESH, the DS sold almost 3 times as much as the 3DS.

As far as OoT, that number is fantastic for less than 2 weeks on the shelf.

Why do people find it so hard to believe that the Wii U is more powerful than the PS3, when it's a next gen console?! Of course, the sucessor to the PS3 and 360 will be more powerful than the Wii U, since they're being released later. But again, who cares about power and graphics if the games are good?

And of course Sony is going to copy Nintendo eventually. So will Microsoft. IF, if the Wii U controller is successful like the Wii motion controls.

Wow. I had no idea this game was that huge. I own it, but I haven't played very much. I should play it some more...

I really hate FPS games. No, not because they're violent or that the gameplay isn't that great.. it's the perspective. It makes me feel slightly sick... I can't even watch videos on YouTube of any first person perspective games, even Minecraft.

I've noticed the trailers in the eshop are low quality...

The screenshots look REALLY good, in my opinion.

:/

Nothing I want, again. I'm starting to think that 5$ I have left on my 3DS is going to sit there forever.

@AnotherWorld

...

How did they give it a higher score? They gave the original a 10. If it's the same game, WHY GIVE IT A LOWER SCORE?

Logic = none.

I like the pins, but I was really wanting something Zelda related instead. :/ Oh well, it's free. Can't really complain!

I refuse to purchase any game with a permanent save file. I hope their sales go down even more because of this, and I hope that other companies don't follow this. It's ridiculous and like a stab in the back for those people who buy new games.

@57 WHY IS HD SO IMPORTANT?!

The games still look great. HD is nice but it's ridiculous to constantly hear "HD HD HD HD" all the time! So annoying!

Graphics are nice BUT THEY AREN'T THAT IMPORTANT. It's SAD that people buy consoles just because they have good graphics.

A definite release day buy for me. I am loving Cave Story on DSiWare. I love the old school type graphics, but it looks good with modern graphics too.

Hope the US gets Kirby!

Why announce it now if it's not coming out for years? :/

And also. @25 Don't like it, don't buy it. I wanted a portable SSB!

@79 Zelda is not an RPG. Just clarifying. A lot of people think that though.

Anyway, the game is great and worth the 40$. I'm addicted to it right now, I can't stop thinking about playing it.

Boring. ):

Touch screen portable gaming console? Welcome to 2004 Sony!

This is why I hate Sony, they're so full of themselves. Immaturity is just... annoying.

They can keep their "hardcore" graphics loving, FPS obsessed fan boys, but please just shut up about Nintendo and quit trying to compete.

Sorry to rant... I'm usually not like that but I'm not in a good mood today.

I just realized my gamestop sucks.

The controls on Skyward Sword look like they're really great. I'm so excited to own this game!

First everyone complains about remakes, then everyone wants re-releases.

Is there any pleasing you?!

@6 - They can't take the time limit off of Majora's Mask... that makes NO SENSE and it would ruin the game. Like the moon would hang there endlessly until you got all 4 giants? It seems to me like the game would lose it's feel. No time limit = would ruin the game. Sorry to rant but MM is my favorite Zelda game.

I miss the exploration of Mario titles. I think that's why my favorite Mario is Sunshine. There's so many things to do in that game, so many secrets. But I loved the linear path of the galaxy games as well, so I'm sure either way, Super Mario will be great!

People complaining even though it's free... just take it, it's free...

I doubt it will have online. I don't care, I will be happy to play Zelda wirelessly with my brother.

"Software sells hardware."

How true. I bet sales will continue to grow, especially after the release of Ocarina of Time 3D. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "I'm buying a 3DS just for this game!"

Who cares? Can't afford the games, don't buy the console.

I'd rather have Nintendo focus on long games for 60$, rather than short games for free.

Free games are a waste of time. They would lose money if they spent time working on a game and then giving it away, when instead they could have spent that time working on a great game they could sell for 60$.

Are you guys really surprised?

Besides, who at this point doesn't have a DVD player?! I mean come on.

Blu Ray isn't as common but I have one, and it would only make the console more expensive. For me it would be pointless. Why do people care so much? I buy a console to play games, not watch movies.

Yet another title I'll be getting on launch day!

Link costume is not new. It's on City Folk.

They've added enough new features for me to be happy. Can't wait!

@28 It's a date that should be a holiday, honestly. And since it's the 10th 9/11 since the attack... I don't think releasing it on 9/11 is a good idea just because some people might not appreciate it. But honestly, it's not that huge of a deal.

@29... it's been 10 years, not 11. :/

Looks perfect. Awesome. Amazing. Hope it comes sooner rather than later.

Awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Smash Bros but I do enjoy them and will probably pick up the 3DS version. My brother is going to freak though, he's spent countless hours playing Melee and Brawl.

I love how crazy the crowd went as soon as he said "Smash Brothers".

Awesome! Will probably be picking this one up. Glad to see the DS isn't getting completely abandoned by Nintendo just yet.
