I love colored consoles. That's why I'm glad I waited to buy a Wii, so I got a beautiful red one. I think they should follow like the 3DS did. One plain color (black or white), then one color. Like blue, red, ect.
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW. I want to know more about the Wii 2 already.
Exactly, @61. My DS games look great on my DSi XL. I feel bad for anyone who traded in their DS for a 3DS, the DS/DSi games look awful on the 3DS. I plan on my DSi games staying on my DSi XL.
Why does everyone complain about the Browser on the DSi/3DS? Yeah, I don't already have 2 other portable devices that have fine internet capabilities. Not to mention my laptop! When would you ever want to use your DS to surf the web, when you already have a laptop or a smart phone? I don't get it.
Anyways. Sounds like a good launch! I'll be getting the free stuff (duh) and Super Mario Land, because I never really played that game but I've always wanted to.
I hate the word "hardcore". It seems to me the people that call themselves "hardcore" are the only who sit and play shooters online all day. (Not all, but some.) Then they call people like me, who play Mario and Zelda, not "real" gamers.
I really hate how divided the gaming community is. Why can't we all just be GAMERS and enjoy our games without fighting?
The beginning was amazing. I want this as an ad on my television, randomly hearing the song of time in between commercials for crest and toilet paper. sigh
@22 It's my guess that they will be closest to Wii Virtual Console prices. 5 for GB, 8 for GBC, 10 for GBA, 12-15 for 3DS Ware. It makes the most sense in my opinion.
Quit putting it in sleep mode. It kills the battery. StreetPass is cool and everything but you need turn it OFF once in a while and let the battery rest. I can go 2-3 days without needing to charge it and I use StreetPass all the time.
@LTD Don't forget, the 3D on the 3DS makes the graphics look a lot smoother. None of the video or screenshots live up to the way games look on the 3DS imo.
3DS is a great system but it's definitely missing something. We need better games, I am still playing my DSi XL more than my 3DS. OoT will be nice but there has to be something more original coming, and soon, or else the sales aren't going to get any better.
This is looking like a really great game. I'm starting to actually want it... still not sure though. I enjoyed the DS game but it came bundled with my XL, I don't know if I'd pay 40$ for this one.
I might get Twilight Princess since I never bought the Wii version. I will be getting the Mario Super Sluggers. Heck, for only 20$? Why not? I hope to see more releases like this especially with the new console on the way. (I want a price drop on Mario Kart, without the Wii wheel!)
This is going to look so much better in 3D. The game looks great in 2D but I don't think we should judge it by a video. Videos of games always look like crap anyway.
@thanos316 "Most developers thought the wii wasn't gonna be a success and missed the boat, i think developers are fascinated with the big grapics and big power, but if u have nothing innovative to bring no one will buy it. How many shooters can u come out with, im not saying that most shooters are bad but if the market is saturated with just those then most poeple wont get them."
I couldn't agree more! They care more about graphics than gameplay. Yeah, sure, good graphics are nice. But gameplay is the most important thing in a video game, in my opinion. Nintendo is the only company who understands this, it seems.
Also, to people complaining about the graphics being better... I bet they will look better in person. The 3DS screen is smaller than a YouTube video. Plus youtube pretty much destroys the quality of anything that is uploaded on it.
@34 Wow, someone who actually does worship Gen. 2? I am shocked. I loved the games but they are a tad over rated in my opinion.
Gen. 3 is, and always will be, my favorite generation. FireRed was my first game and Ruby followed close after. They are the best Pokemon games. Maybe I am biased because of nostalgia though... Oh well.
Dang it. How much money is Nintendo going to get from me this time?
I don't like the screen on the controller idea though. It sounds weird, and gimmicky. BUT, I said the same thing about the 3D on the 3DS, and it was the opposite. So.... we'll see. I actually just got a Wii this Christmas so I will probably wait a while on the next console too.
I want HD, too. But you know, graphic aren't the most important thing in a video game. As long as it's fun, that's what matters, good graphics are just the icing on the cake in my opinion.
Nintendo always brings something new to the table, whatever will come out I'm sure will be great.
I'd rather buy I game that will keep me busy for a while for 49$, rather than spend any money on a game for my phone that will keep me occupied for 5 seconds while I'm waiting in line at the grocery store. There's free games on the App Store for that.
isitorange - Actually you can. You only have to beat the first level of Episode I then you can go on to any episode.
I really do enjoy this game. I prefer the DS version just because it's such a "pick up and play" casual game for me. Highly recommended for Star Wars fans like me.
I've only played Ocarina of Time a little (yes, and I call myself a Zelda fan...) but I am SO excited for this. The screenshots look amazing! I will be pre-ordering as soon as possible!

Hopefully NA gets something. Not sure why they would do that for Europe and not us.

Re: DS Lite Drops to $99 in US, Mario DS Games Go Red
I might get Mario vs Donkey Kong. I want just one of the red packages, and it's the only game out of those that I don't have.
Also, are the prices on the games being cut or are they just changing the package?
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Made the 3DS Download-only?
The should have a combination of both. End of story.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
@Hero_of_Time What? It's the same game. Are you kidding?

Grrrr where is ours Nintendo?! I pre-ordered mine months ago, and for what? Nothing! UGH.

Re: Rumour: Project Cafe Controller Contains a Camera
It's not even a controller anymore. It's half the console itself.
It sounds extremely weird to me, but so did the Wii at first...
Re: Features: Re-Examining Zelda: Twilight Princess
Why does everyone regard OoT the best in the series? I loved that game but it's completely overrated.

Re: Japanese Hardware / Software Sales Show the 3DS Needs a Boost
3DS is a great system but it's definitely missing something. We need better games, I am still playing my DSi XL more than my 3DS. OoT will be nice but there has to be something more original coming, and soon, or else the sales aren't going to get any better.
Re: Nintendo Changes Club Nintendo Privacy Policy
Not getting anything either... checked my email as well.
Re: New Elements Planned for Mario Kart on the 3DS
This is looking like a really great game. I'm starting to actually want it... still not sure though. I enjoyed the DS game but it came bundled with my XL, I don't know if I'd pay 40$ for this one.
Re: Nintendo Drops Wii to $149.99 and Launches Budget Games
I might get Twilight Princess since I never bought the Wii version. I will be getting the Mario Super Sluggers. Heck, for only 20$? Why not? I hope to see more releases like this especially with the new console on the way. (I want a price drop on Mario Kart, without the Wii wheel!)
Re: Get Another Taste of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D with This Video

Re: Nintendo Confirms New Console
Why don't I just give nintendo all the money I make for the rest of my life? Seems like that's what I'm doing now any ways!
Don't get me wrong, I am excited... and I will probably end up buying it just like I did with the 3DS. Dang it.
(Side note: I hope Skyward Sword is out before this. I don't want a repeat of Twilight Princess!)

Re: Come On In for Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D's Intro Movie
Looks beautiful... Man. I love it.
Already pre-ordered. Can't wait.
Re: Talking Point: StreetPass - Is Silent Communication the Future?
I live in the middle of nowhere (I am surrounded by cornfields) and I got one hit today. Hurrah!
Re: Talking Point: StreetPass - Is Silent Communication the Future?
I think streetpass is really cool. I want to go out and leave my 3DS on now LOL.
I have no life.
Re: Another Zelda Remake for 3DS?
Verrrry interesting.
Anyone who is sick of remakes, haven't you gotten used to it yet? Come on. Nintendo does this all the time and they will continue the tradition.
Re: Rumour: Wii 2 to Cost $350, Support 3DTVs, Out in October
This controller looks so stupid. I'm sorry but I am not liking this so far.
Re: Review: World of Goo (WiiWare)
Ok, I am getting this. It's not everyday a WiiWare game gets a 10!
Re: Review: Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D (3DS)

Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)
Just bought this game on a whim today, glad it has a perfect score on here. I have high hopes for it!
Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D's European Box Art is Simply Beautiful
Looks fantastic! I like both covers though.
Re: 3DS Launch Sales Have Been Breaking Records Worldwide
Glad they aren't kicking the DS to the curb yet. I have a 3DS but I still love my DSi XL, especially since I just got in December.

Re: Pokemon and 3DS Helped Nintendo to a Record-Breaking March
I never would have thought Black and White would do this well. I'm glad!
Nintendo outdid themselves with these games, they exceeded all my expectations.

Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Launches on 19th June
I love this cover art. It looks fantastic.
Re: Fils-Aime: Next Home Console Unlikely to be 3D
Good. Playing with 3D tires my eyes too quickly.
I want HD, too. But you know, graphic aren't the most important thing in a video game. As long as it's fun, that's what matters, good graphics are just the icing on the cake in my opinion.
Nintendo always brings something new to the table, whatever will come out I'm sure will be great.
Re: Angry Birds Dev Calls Nintendo Games "$49 Pieces of Plastic"
Haha. I did laugh at this.
I'd rather buy I game that will keep me busy for a while for 49$, rather than spend any money on a game for my phone that will keep me occupied for 5 seconds while I'm waiting in line at the grocery store. There's free games on the App Store for that.

Re: Review: My Exotic Farm (DSiWare)
If you want a farming game go with Harvest Moon. I've played some other ones and none compare to Harvest Moon.
