For me anyway, this is perfect. I've purchased Luigi's Mansion 2, will be picking up DKCR 3D with some birthday money, and after playing through the Fire Emblem: Awakening demo, I'm determined to make the game mine by the end of May.
This leaves me with the tough decision: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, or Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
2 years? Wow. I remember it like it was yesterday. To be honest, the main thing that helped me get hyped up for the 3DS was social media. Nobody around me plays video games, so if I want to play against or with someone, I have to hope that games I'm after have online multiplayer.
That day, the whole excited Nintendo community posted countless pictures of their Aqua Blue or Cosmo Black 3DS onto Twitter, along with their choice of games and accessories. I took the day off work too, specifically for the occasion.
Here's to many more years for the 3DS, it's hitting it's stride now.
@squashie Thank you! ^_^ Glad you enjoyed it. Yup, I started writing back when the 3DS was released almost 2 years ago with NScene... Time flies and so much happened!
I can see Nintendo releasing a bundle to celebrate the release of X & Y. Just my own prediction, one for X and the other for Y. The Charizard 3DS XL would be fantastic though. A 3D version of Red alongside this would be perfect!

Re: Nintendo of Europe Offers Free Game in "So Many Games!" Promotion
@Five-seveN That makes more sense in fairness. I have MH3U for the Wii U, so I'd imagine I wouldn't be missing out too much. AC:NL it is!
