I still wonder why Ninty does not use its IP to sell non gaming merchandise en masse. Think back a few days ago to the Majoras Mask night light, which they could have sold for tons of money, but instead appears as a restricted reward.
If you think how Disney plasters Mickey Mouse on everything from coffee mugs to baby's clothes, I wonder why Nintendo does not try to do the same with Mario, Zelda and the other big franchises. Still, good news that profits are up!
I got my 3DS at the beginning of 2012. An absolutely amazing machine and I play it almost everyday. At the moment, I am swapping Fantasy Life, Smash and Kid Icarus in and out of the cart slot. Thank you Nintendo for the all fun!
While I was younger, I had both a SNES and Gameboy - good times! But I 'grew up' and forgot about games until I stumbled on my old gameboy in my mother's attic. When I plugged in the batteries and replayed Zelda, I realised that growing up was a mistake!
The 3ds (and I've bought a second hand ds to play gba games on) fits in so well with my life, in a way that a full console cannot, but it gives a far richer experience compared to the Flappy Bird clones on mobile phones. My original 3ds really is one of my best purchases, and I've had many hours of great gaming from this fun little machine. And yes, I still switch on my old gameboy from time to time!
Kid Icarus all the way, although I also loved FE Awakening's sound track. And even though they are by Level 5, I wish the Professor Layton Soundtracks were released. I absolutely loved the music in the Azran Legacy and Layton vs Ace Attorney.
I've recently bought this secondhand to experience it for the first time, and I am onto the third dungeon.
While not my favourite handheld Zelda (for me both Link's Awakening and ALBW) I find the gameplay more refreshing than the Oracle games. My only bugbear is that Minish Cap really shoehorns you into a linear path. However, the shrinking mechanic is great fun and I have been enjoying the game so far.

Re: Talking Point: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 1st April
For the 3ds, I think they will hold off Fire Emblem until E3. I'm betting on a new 3d-Land game or Warioland game reveal now

Re: Poll: Which Nintendo Franchises Should be Produced as TV Shows?
Why not a Layton tv show? The Eternal Diva was such a great film...but of course, it's up to Level 5 to decide that one.

Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2015
MM3D all the way, and I reckon there must be a Warioland game somewhere in the works.
