I think Stardew Valley is the farming sim king. I may eventually get SoS: Trio of Towns (so i have a farming sim for my 3ds), but I'm not in a big hurry. Not a fan of Minecraft, so I don't have much interest in Skytree Village.
I won't be getting one now, since I just upgraded to the N3DS late January (early Valentine's gift). I was holding out for an N2DS, but didn't want to wait anymore. Oh well, I hope it's successful anyway!
Personally I'm not ready to be done with the 3DS family. It's been probably my best handheld experience to date. Whether it's supported for another 1, 2, or even 3 years (though I'm thinking that's not likely), I will enjoy every minute of it (and will be playing that beautiful backlog beyond that).
If you've moved on to the Switch, that's fine. Let those of us still reveling in the 3DS/2DS goodness stay in our happy place for awhile longer (please).
I would have gotten this if I hadn't already upgraded to the N3DS XL earlier this year. Why on Earth did it take them so long? I love my Galaxy N3DS all the same, though.
Overall pretty happy with what was covered in the 3ds lineup. Was hoping for EOV and EOU III news by now. Though with Ever Oasis, Hey! Pikmin, FE Shadows of Valentia, FE Warriors, plus a few titles that are already out (but I haven't gotten around to purchasing yet), I won't be bored while I wait.
Love my N3DS! Fantasy Life, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Etrian Odyssey, the list goes on! I'm thankful for a big backlog of 3DS games to complete since I have no plans to purchase a Switch.
If it would have come with the amiibos instead I might have tried to get a pre-order (even if it had made it a little bit more pricey). I'll be satisfied with just the standard edition though. I still need to finish Revelations!
That's kind of disappointing...might wait for a price drop. However, with as many other 3ds titles that I'm looking forward to, I might forget about this completely.
I'm going to be an optimist and give 3DS 2, maaaaaybe 3ish, more years. My hubby got me an N3DS XL as an early Valentine's Day gift, so I'd be happy for continued support from Nintendo!
If my oldest kid were a little older, he'd play the heck out of this! He loves Halloween! He stills wears his Batman costume from last year (at least we're getting our money's worth).
Unless the Switch goes down in price, or they make a smaller, cheaper version, they need to keep the 3DS fam around. What parents are going to want to shell out $300 (more with games and accessories) for their kid to take on the go? Plus, I imagine parents would rather pay $40 or less per 3DS game, as opposed to $50-$60 per Switch game. The 3DS family is more "family friendly" in my mind.
I'm hoping for at least another year or two. Lots of games I'm looking forward to this year. Hoping to hear about a few more soon (like EOU III and EOV). Plus I'm really hoping they cut the N3DS (XL) price this year, though I'll probably upgrade regardless to play Fire Emblem Warriors.

Re: Video: What We Think Could be Announced at E3, and What Definitely Won't
If the Nintendo presentation is only 30 minutes, I doubt it will have much, if any, 3ds news. If that's the case, I hope we get a 3ds direct after e3.
I'm not anticipating getting excited about much this e3, since I don't have a switch. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, though!
Re: Atlus Is Bringing Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology to the West in 2018
I was just thinking about this. Glad to know that it's still coming!
Re: Etrian Odyssey V And SMT: Strange Journey Redux Confirmed For Western 3DS Release
FINALLY!!!! The news I've been waiting to hear all year! Looking forward to Fall. EO V, come to mama!
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Pokémon Direct and Its Big Reveals?
None of it surprised me, tbh.
My interest in Pokemon kind of fizzled out after X anyway. Never played the first Sun or Moon, and I aim to continue that trend with "Ultra".
Re: SNES Classic Edition Gets Name-Checked In Xbox E3 Survey
Even if it were true, why bother?
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (3DS)
I can't wait! Should probably finish Revelations first. . .I've been a little busy. I have pre-ordered this though. Looking forward to Friday!
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo's E3 2017 Plans?
The only "odyssey" that I'm interested in hearing about these days is Etrian Odyssey V. Hoping for a few more 3DS surprises as well.
Re: First Impressions: Exploring a New Land in Ever Oasis on 3DS
This is one of my most highly anticipated games this year! Cannot wait!
Re: Harvest Moon: Skytree Village Gets New Trailer Ahead of June EU Release
I think Stardew Valley is the farming sim king. I may eventually get SoS: Trio of Towns (so i have a farming sim for my 3ds), but I'm not in a big hurry. Not a fan of Minecraft, so I don't have much interest in Skytree Village.
Re: Hands On: Hey! Read These Hey! Pikmin Impressions
I'm open to trying something new, and I have a feeling that I will enjoy this game.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Pricing and Details for DLC in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
I'll be passing on the season pass. . .but then I've never purchased DLC for any of the FE games. The core game has always been enough for me.
Re: Reggie Explains the Reasoning Behind the New 2DS XL
I won't be getting one now, since I just upgraded to the N3DS late January (early Valentine's gift). I was holding out for an N2DS, but didn't want to wait anymore. Oh well, I hope it's successful anyway!
Re: Brace Your Wallets For Maximum Impact, UNIQLO's Nintendo Shirts Are Coming This Month
The Splatoon one is my favorite!
Re: Nintendo States That Support for the 3DS Family of Systems Remains Strong

Re: Quirky 3DS RPG Miitopia Lands on 28th July
I don't think I'll get it day 1, but I probably will get this eventually. I loved Tomodachi Life.
Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July
I JUST upgraded to a N3DS XL, but would have waited had i known this was coming! Oh well, I love my N3DS all the same.
Re: Rumour: SNES Classic Mini Coming Later This Year
Oh goody, another system that I'll never see in stores.
Re: Layton's Mystery Journey is Coming to 3DS in Japan on 20th July
Haven't played a Layton game since the first one. I may give this a go, it looks great!
Re: New Splatoon, Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Bros. amiibo Announced
So glad they are making the female version of Corrin! That and the Pikmin amiibo are all I want of the newly announced.
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
Never saw one in stores. Guess I never will. I really wanted one too (without bleeding my bank account). Grrrrrr!
Re: My Nintendo Gets a Fresh Batch of Rewards
Still don't have an account. . .still not missing much, I guess?
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 12th April
Overall pretty happy with what was covered in the 3ds lineup. Was hoping for EOV and EOU III news by now. Though with Ever Oasis, Hey! Pikmin, FE Shadows of Valentia, FE Warriors, plus a few titles that are already out (but I haven't gotten around to purchasing yet), I won't be bored while I wait.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories is Coming to the West
Since I'm not really into MH, I'm going to wait and see on this one. It looks intriguing though!
Re: The Quirky Miitopia is Getting Localised to 3DS in the West
Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one!
Re: Hey! Pikmin will Launch with New amiibo on 28th July
So getting this. Probably not day 1, since my brother is getting married the next day. I won't wait too long though (if my budget allows).
Re: Ever Oasis Journeys to 3DS Owners on 23rd June
COME TO MAMA!
Day 1, so excited!
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Nintendo Direct - 12th April
Etrian Odyssey titles, Pikmin 3DS, Fire Emblem, and Ever Oasis. That's really all I'm looking/hoping for.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For 12th April - Focused on Splatoon 2, ARMS and More
Won't be able to watch live (oh boo!). Hoping for some 3DS game release dates!
Re: Meet Li'l Judd, A New Judge in Splatoon 2
Totally adorbs!
Re: Review: Tank Troopers (3DS eShop)
Since single player campaign is what I would most likely play, I'll probably wait on this...if I get it at all.
Re: Atlus Confirms Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 And Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey For 3DS
EOU III? EO V? Please?!
Re: The 3DS is Six Years Old in the Americas, How Time Flies
Love my N3DS! Fantasy Life, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Etrian Odyssey, the list goes on! I'm thankful for a big backlog of 3DS games to complete since I have no plans to purchase a Switch.
Re: Atlus Reveals Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology For 3DS
Never played the original, guess I'll wait for the remake! Sounds exciting!
Though I'm more eager for EO5, and hopefully EOU3, to be honest.
Re: Video: Nintendo's Fire Emblem Echoes Overview Shows How It Shakes Up the Formula
Can't waaaaaaaaaait!!!!!!!
Re: Nintendo Reveals a Lovely Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition
If it would have come with the amiibos instead I might have tried to get a pre-order (even if it had made it a little bit more pricey). I'll be satisfied with just the standard edition though. I still need to finish Revelations!
Re: Review: Mario Sports Superstars (3DS)
That's kind of disappointing...might wait for a price drop. However, with as many other 3ds titles that I'm looking forward to, I might forget about this completely.
Re: XSeed Announces Story of Seasons DLC Localization Plans for the West
Not a day one buy for me (had to cancel my pre-order due to unforseen recital expenses). Might drop a few (not-so) subtle hints around Mother's Day.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd February (Europe)
I'm glad so many are enthusiastic about Harvest Moon 64. That was probably one of the most played N64 games in my family, back in the day!
Re: Hands On: Creating a Quest in RPG Maker Fes
This is a highly likely purchase for me! Looks fun!
Re: RPG Maker Fes and Culdcept Revolt Set for Summer Arrivals on 3DS
I will be keeping an eye on these. Can't wait to learn more!
Re: Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop Will Be Open For Business On 3DS This April
@RainbowGazelle Plus Pikmin, and hopefully Etrian Odyssey V.
Re: Out Now: Fire Emblem Heroes Is Available To Download On iOS And Android
UPDATE: Now live in US!
Re: Out Now: Fire Emblem Heroes Is Available To Download On iOS And Android
Still not out just after 3 p.m. (Central time). Wondering what the deal is. :-/
Re: Out Now: Fire Emblem Heroes Is Available To Download On iOS And Android
Still waiting.
Re: Kimishima on the Role of the 3DS After the Switch Launch
I'm going to be an optimist and give 3DS 2, maaaaaybe 3ish, more years. My hubby got me an N3DS XL as an early Valentine's Day gift, so I'd be happy for continued support from Nintendo!
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Microtransaction Prices and Early Impressions Emerge
No microtransactions for me. I'm already saving money for Fire Emblem games as it is!
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Wants You to Vote for Your Fire Emblem Heroes
DONNEL FTW!
Just kidding!
Re: Candy, Please!
If my oldest kid were a little older, he'd play the heck out of this! He loves Halloween! He stills wears his Batman costume from last year (at least we're getting our money's worth).
