Wait does the Majora's Mask N3DSXL actually come with the game? Because all of the ones I've seen online say it doesn't come with the game and that they're already sold out.
Not sure how I feel about the new models. I like the aesthetics of the new 3DS, including the iPhone-esque white band on the 2 outer cameras, but the 2nd circle pad looks awkward to use.
Also, I'm kinda sad they now have regular Start/Select buttons; I liked the (somewhat odd) rectangular buttons on the bottom screen's border
I'd love to have a massive post-game (similar to D/P/Pt), and if they could combine elements of the Pokemon World Tournament from B/W that would be the selling point for me.
Although these are certainly cool systems, there was an article some time ago with turquoise and orange XL's...I think I drooled a little when I saw them...
This is my favorite game in the series so far; even the "filler" cases are a lot of fun to play and it's a lot more fun (and easier!) to replay certain cases.
Digital releases dont bother me; if I can play the game I'm happy. But I am worried about system transfers if I upgrade to an XL, which I'm thinking about doing (would upgrade today but don't have the cash right now).
Backwards compatibility is almost, if not completely, necessary for a system to have. But it does make me sad that I won't be able to play GCN games on the Wii U.
There are undoubtedly going to be some excellent games (especially as more and more titles are developed) out there, and I don't really want to be paying $60 for just one game.
@Silverbullet89 True, but the price drops a while after the game was released (some exceptions apply, but not to most "big Nintendo" title such as Mario).
The Wii (which was bundled with Wii Sports) retailed with a launch price of $250 in the US. I'd be incredibly disappointed to see the Wii U launch with the same price but without a game included.
I'm hoping to pick up NSMB2 today (no money for that+3DS XL), but since I live on the East Coast I'm not sure if my Gamestop will have it in stock (last time I checked they received shipments 1 day after the original release date).
Still not really sure if it's worth my $40 seeing as how this isn't really more than NSMB (music is similar; I've heard some tracks on Youtube), but I'll probably end up getting it anyways
I should have seen this coming before I bought the 3DS : Oh well. I wonder how the bigger screen will affect 3D gameplay...does this mean you would have a bigger "sweet spot?" Anyways, my hands are getting really cramped on the 3DS right now, so maybe it's worth trying it...
There are a lot of good games to buy on the eShop but I wish there was some sort of "return" function that refunds part of your money if you find that you don't like the game you downloaded, because then it ends up being a waste of $$ and space on the SD card.
They should make a package where you can buy the system alone. That would be much cheaper for some people and. Also they wouldn't have too many controllers!
I completely agree with the PH memory. I remember being so frustrated when I first encountered that puzzle, so I closed my DS and went to play something else. When I opened it up I was surprised that the seal had transferred itself over to the map!

Re: New Nintendo 3DS Release Date Confirmed for 13th February
@darthllama
I guess there was an error in the article then. Bummer.
Hopefully they'll release a version of the 3DS with the game pre-installed.

Re: Capcom USA Senior VP Responds to Ace Attorney Concerns
I hope AA5 will do well enough so that they can localize AAI2! Regardless, AA5 is a day-one buy for me.

What a shame...I thoroughly enjoyed all of their orchestrations and listened to some of my favorite songs from OoT and ST on a regular basis.

Re: Competition: Win The Chance To Attend The Wii U Experience in LA
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it, but my entry would be:
"My body is ready for Wii U because I see myself in Wii U, and feel like flying."

Re: Site News: James Finds a Warp Zone
Wow, thanks for your time here and good luck at Nintendo!
Re: 3DS XL UK Prices Will be Decided by Retailers
I think a 3DSXL + NSMB2 bundle might be worth $200, but I don't think that the console alone is worth $200.

Expecting a Zelda game for the Wii U sometime soon! Good to see a New Super Mario bros game.

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life Reader Awards 2011
I'm surprised that OoT 3D didn't win in the 3DS GoTY, however I am glad that it was beat by 2 fine games, Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land.

Re: Nintendo Doesn't Want a 3DS Price Situation on Wii U
For $400+ the Wii U had better be one heck of a good system. Otherwise I'll just wait and/or buy it on eBay for potentially 1/2 the price or less.
On another note I do hope that there's a good number of 3rd-party supporters so they Wii U can have an extremely strong release, like the Wii.
