This sounds fun. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this.

Hmm, this does look more intriguing then it did before. I'll keep an eye out for it.

This game looks awesome, I really wanna get it.

@BRAINFOX I will watch this each time I hear Nintendo mention "core audience" in North America.

The only reason why games in the eShop are rated as high as they are is because you have to put some time into them in order to rate them. If anybody could rate the game, the game would be much lower.

I'll be looking forward to seeing what REAL support this system gets. Show me the games, don't just announce em.

Awesome, gives me choices in which painting app I want to use. This is one of the major reasons why I like the DS and 3DS platforms so much, the fact I can use them as a portable digital art pad is a huge plus. Hopefully we'll see the ability to listen to your music on your SD card while painting as well, that would be awesome!

Free games shouldn't be done regularly however a drop in price in games and the addition of demo's would greatly help sales. The price they charge for older games especially is quite a bit for completely untouched games without any new functions like leaderboards and online multiplayer.

This is interesting

Thats a different kind of back story. Kind of funny.

Its looking good

yay zelda

Great article. I remember when I got my GBA. I nabbed Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, Metroid Fusion, and Sword of Mana only to have the system and all 3 games stolen. >.<

I'm so glad to be part of the 3DS ambassador program, it now gives me a chance to play all those games I missed

@41 agreed

Happy b day Nintendo!

I'm interested

I'm glad they're bringing out all the Wiiware titles that they've been talking about for so long!

I have a feeling GBA games will be available down the road. Just not anytime soon.

Its really sad, I've been gaming for quite some time but never really played much on handhelds which is also one of the driving reasons I got a 3DS (yes for the VC). I really need to go back and play GBA games!

Looks good!

Lame. Capcom needs to stop being stinko

You know what, this list is awesome however I must say... it needs more cowbell!

So much negativity surrounding the system from the press but tbh, as a multi console owner, I still found the stuff shown for the 3DS the most interesting and appealing. Then again, I'm also a Monster Hunter and RPG fan.

looks cool

nuff said

@26 I agree

2 strategy RPG's, 1 turn based RPG, 1 online action rpg. Thats all I needed to hear. I'm happy.

Very nice

This sounds nice but I'd like to know about messaging and voice vid and text chat functions as well as if we'll ever be able to invite friends to online games as well as if I'll ever be able to add people over the net to my friends list.

Looking forward to this one.

this game looks awesome

Free games? Yes plz!

I'm very passive on this, I just want to get the games I missed or the games I loved and want to play again. Doesn't matter if they come quick with with glitches or longer with polish.

I happen to be one of those people that's looking forward to the GBA games. I'm also waiting and hoping to see NeoGeo Pocket Color announced for the 3DS VC.

I was just looking at this game, like many other games that had trailers and info before the launch, it was showing off online multiplayer in the trailer..... I'm glad I came here and checked out the review first.

They shouldn't of released the system without a second analog in the first place to be honest. It would of given them a lot more support however I think working on the online features would be a lot better then a second analog. You know foreign never before seen concepts like messaging your friends, using the mic for voice chat, fixing the lag in street fighter, and this strange strange never before heard of demo thing in the eShop could help game sales.

NoA.... why art thou forsaken thee!?!?

that stinks, I'm really looking foward to this one

And now we play the waiting game

Talk to Blizzard about this.

Envy.....

They need to get more Kiosks in stores first off. While the 3DS is a cool system, the fact that it's not available for demo in a lot of retailers is bad, the Wii was playable just about everywhere before it came out and after it came out even more retailers had it. Red flags should be raised when I walk into a gamestop and can't demo the system.

Another thing, for the system owners, they gotta really start pumpin out the demo's for games in the eShop BEFORE games release AND start working on online features. The fact that I still can't message friends is a no no and drives away a lot of the initial people who purchased SSF43D because they can't easily play and communicate with friends.

They have to kick it into high gear.

It's hard for me to be enthusiastic at this point. I need to see a lot more.

@Chicken_Brutus
I too feel guilty for not getting De Blob 2 now...

Good news!

Yes! Finally I'll be able to find Super Paper Mario new in stores again! w00t!

I would buy the Arcade Edition as DLC, not a new full priced game, especially not on the 3DS. As for Street Fighter X Tekken, yes, I'd purchase it, even on the 3DS.

Is the ambassador programme offer enough to appease you?
Yes, I have many feelings on this too. First off I know the press is very quick to throw Nintendo under the bus about this, but just like the welcome back package, I feel it's more then worth it. Sure it's older games but 20 free games either way is a great deal, especially considering most companies normally don't compensate early adopters for price drops.

Do you feel your early purchase has been worth it so far?
To an extent yes to an extent no. I really enjoyed SSFIV and the 3DS's built in software and I also like the fact the system only uses 1 friend code. I didn't like the fact that the eShop and video services weren't ready at launch, though I'm glad to have them (and netflix) now. I don't like the fact that so many games that should have online don't have online, that demo's aren't available in the eShop, and I completely hate the fact I can't message friends. Seriously though, what's the point of having 1 global friends list if I can't contact the people on that list?

I'm glad that they're doing this price drop, I'm sure it will be a huge boost in sales and I'm glad I'm getting 20 free games however they really need to work on the online offerings, not just video... FEATURES. This is something Sony had to learn with the PS3, blueray is great but people want strong online features. Learn from them Nintendo, 3D is great but not at the risk of having bad online.

I feel that if nintendo wants to come back to a good spot they need to really be more open when it comes to building an online community.

@Drewciffer I feel your pain

Animations and physics need work, it looks stiff.
