I want to download movies/shows. They tried to do it on GBA with those video cartridges with the pokemon shows on them and on PSP with movie UMDs but I want some downloads lol. Also, I want some GBA games on the VC. I know its a bit much to ask for, and probably won't happen, but having access to GB, GBC, GBA, DS and 3DS games on one handheld device could be a potentially epic.
@BulbasaurusRex I like Smash Bros, and the concept does appeal to everyone, but I, personally, don't want to spend money on a clone project. As someone who grew up with games instead of cable television, the appeal of Smash Bros to me is higher than this game because I know the Smash Bros characters. But thats just my reason, so yeah...lol
I'm not saying that Punch Time Explosion is a bad game, just that it's on a system that pretty much prioritizes your purchases; it's costs too much to get something second rate, unlike the DS where this game might have only been 20 bucks. (I hope I'm being a bit clearer lol I hate misunderstandings...)
I'm pretty content with DOAD. In my opinion, the appeal of games like this aren't going to do well because of the 3DS's more mature audience. It's not like the DS, which had the appeal of a toy; it's starting to shape into an actual system and is slowly shooing off the casual market. Other companies are appealing to the age demographic that's most likely to own a 3DS (teens to young adults) with games like MGS and the like. It's too expensive a system to gamble with shovelware or sub par material. But it's not bad, though. I'd pick it over Monkey Ball or Steel Driver.
The 3DS is much more powerful than the DS line of systems, though. You really have to experience the system to really get it lol it's not enough to just look at screenshots and videos.
I see the appeal of downloads, but too many factors ruin it. Hackers, viruses, server malfunctions, and even blatant overpricing all turn me off to the idea of a download only console. The 3DS did the right thing by making online (eShop) an option and not mandatory.
I got eye strain playing my friend's 3DS. So I was a bit worried when I bought mine but, lo and behold, I didn't have a problem. I just needed to turn the brightness down. (She had is on "Sun" lol)
@Yasume I think it's alright. Resident Evil could do fine since it's currently the only shooter for the summer (I think); the only thing that could be a turn off is the M 17+ rating for those parents who bought a 3DS for their kids. But all the people I know who own a 3DS bought it themselves and they're waiting for this game lol
There's nothing fun to do on it after a while. Face Raiders and AR only keep you busy for a minute or two. Now I'm bored as fudge because I can't use the internet or see videos like I was promised lol
@shinobi88 You make a valid point. The games are on two different mediums, two different crowds. But the people I know who own a 3DS are more excited for OoT than this game.

Re: Japanese Gamers Put Off by High Price of 3DS
Launch titles weren't all that great and it's pretty pricey. But it seems like it'll show it's worth in the next few years. (I have one, btw.)

Re: Japanese Hardware / Software Sales Show the 3DS Needs a Boost
And another thing: they chose the most impossible thing to advertise. The 3D is but its so hard to show in a commercial without a bit of exaggeration.

Re: Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion Knocked Back to June
No way this is going to sell during Zelda Month.
