I am still excited of the 3d effect even in the original 3ds and I am buying the new one for the improved 3d. The 3d is expensive graphical effect, it eats half of the GPU, but in my eyes it makes games 10 times better looking.
Many call these special features gimmicks, but if I buy several consoles, I buy them for the 'personality' they have(in addition of games of course). Extreme processing power is not exciting gimmick for me(well I am planning to build quite extreme PC for virtual reality, but that is another matter). I think the processing power is in pretty good balance on the 3ds; if it was more powerful, it would have been more expensive as well(it already was too expensive at launch), and then it would not have as many good games as now. And even the Resident Evil Revelations, one of the early games on the system, is still one of the best looking mobile games in my eyes. Of course the resolution has gone beyond appreciable figures long time ago on more modern mobile devices, and shadows are very rough on the 3ds, but it still gives quite realistic impression, especially in 3d.
The co-op alone sold it to me. I don't want to give any funny and unfortunate ideas for them, but I would have paid even more for the GamePad ideas. I am such a fan of Nifflas.
AAAAH!
The Aria and Dawn of Sorrow are my favorite Castlevanias! I hope that they will release the DS games next. I missed The Order of Ecclesia and I cannot wait getting it.
I also would go nuts, if they made 2D Castlevania for 3DS, that would have:
-not only the Castle, but other areas as well, in the Simon's Quest vein
-Castlevania 4 style controls
-2D gameplay but 3D graphics
-Not made by MercurySteam
It still looks very fun, but the controls are clearly downgraded. The smoothness and freedom of flying has changed into clunky and slow paced dual analog clumsiness.
If they are going to do it, I hope, that they are REALLY careful with the casting. Finding good enough fit for a Link will be difficult.
And even though we are not playing Link this time, I still think, that Link should be mute.
(Edit:
Well, some one mentioned Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and suddenly I believe, that it might be possible to make it happen. I think he might even be able to talk a bit as long as he is not very talkative person, and written with great care)
I'll just copypaste my wishlist here and everywhere possible. There are surprisingly lot of interesting Wii games, but these are my strctly narrowed down most wanted games:
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers Fragile Dreams Muramasa: The Demon Blade Okami No More Heroes 2 Xenoblade Chronicles The Last Story Trauma Centre: New Blood Another Code: R Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Conduit 2 Wario Land Zack and Wiki Boom Blox 2
I played them all many times back in the day, so I would have to try to resist, BUT: Having the Wiimote controls in 1 and 2 is tempting me so much!
My trigger finger is itching like hell, and there are no other FPS(FPA in this case) coming for the Wii U. I just want more things to shoot with my Wiimote!!!
At these introductionary prices, I'd buy all of these and more:
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers
Fragile Dreams
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Okami
No More Heroes 2
Xenoblade Chronicles
The Last Story
Trauma Centre: New Blood
Another Code: R
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Conduit 2
Wario Land
Zack and Wiki
Boom Blox 2
@WaveyChristmas Monkey Ball will benefit from the New 3DS so much! I bought it a while back, and I liked it a lot, but that game doesn't work with both 3d and gyro on, so I decided to wait until the N3ds.
Being able to use both 3d and gyro in all games is my no. 1 feature on the New 3DS.
I will also get Revelations 3DS version particularly for the gyro aiming! (Really shame, that the Wii U version didn't use it)
I love the cross buy deals, but I think the 50% is the absolute max the developers should ask for buying the same game twice. I think it would be a nice way of asking 1-2ish dollars from customers, but when it goes close to a 10€, I will buy another, completely diferent game.
If there is a way to use universal save files, I wish they would become a standard soon.
One of my favorite shmups from that generation, or ever. Inventive use of Snes's impressive GPU makes levels interesting, and surprisingly good looking even to day.
I have hoped, that Nintendo Land's excellence would some how get the attention it deserves. It usually, if ever, doesn't happen, but I hope this time a hidden gem is unearthed while it's still in shelves. I want sequel for it so bad, that I could cry a bit, but this news is comforting to hear.
I also dream about people suddenly emptying shops from Zombi U's and keep hoarding a million or two of them from the eShop as well.
So you can use old save files, Fantastic!!! I have been longing back to Pandoras Tower for a long time.

I really wish, that the C-Stick doesn't mean, that the gyro option is taken away. I like the C-Stick as an addition to gyro controls, but the gyro is more important to me.
Taking the view distance into consideration, my 42" is actually smaller, than the GamePad, and even when the resolution isn't as high as some popular 500$ tablets, its pixel density is still also higher than on my Full HD TV. I know people, who prefer to look at the GamePad, as they can focus their eyes easier on objects that are closer.
The cockpit in the touchscreen makes my Tie Fighter panties all wet. In addition to expanding the functions you typically control in a console 'simulation', it could give more varied experience, when controlling different vehicles.

Nothing for easter!?! I would think, that it would be more favourable launch day, than most other days at spring.
I have waited for local multiplayer game for easter holiday for YEARS.

@Souldin Yes, I was going to write all that.

Re: Interview: IRONFALL Invasion's Developers on Bringing Third-Person Shooting to the 3DS Masses

Some one, make 4 player Gauntlet -like game for 3ds or Wii U.
And Roguelikes too.

Re: Children of Morta Hits Stretch Goal to Confirm Wii U Release

I was surely going to buy it, but now I am surely waiting for the Wii U version.
And I'd like to see a report about those KS projects, that have not reached Wii U mile stone yet from time to time.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Japanese eShop Release Dates for Sin & Punishment 2 and Pandora's Tower in Japan
Pandoras Tower AAAAAAHHHHH! Thank you! (I mean, bring it to EU, and then I thank you)
I borrowed it for a while, I absolutely love it but couldn't play it through that time. Now it will be mine.
One of my favorite games of all time. It is among many other tings, in a way, the 3D Castlevania of my dreams.

But most of all:

Re: Tomonobu Itagaki Gives an Update on Devil’s Third, Describing it as the "Biggest Game"
The online games massive structure is super intriguing, and it has already sold itself to me.
I just really, Really, REALLY wish they would exclude auto aim and ads snap and include gyro aiming option.
And Wiimote would be rather ideal controller for this kind of game.
Re: Video: Kadokawa Games Showcases Rodea The Sky Soldier Footage and Hands-On Event
It still looks very fun, but the controls are clearly downgraded. The smoothness and freedom of flying has changed into clunky and slow paced dual analog clumsiness.

Re: Sega's Wonder Boy Lives On In Monster Boy, And He Could Be Coming To Wii U

I loved the Super Off Road, and have played Slick and Slide for years, and while graphically this looks perfect, the gameplay seems slow and sticky.

Re: Nintendo Confirms New 3DS eShop Shooter IronFall Invasion

I love touch screen aiming, but not every one have thumb straps anymore, and Gyro is always with you. I have started to like gyro more anyway.
