        geez, you guys should have seen the article written for it on aol news. they talked about nothing but the downsides for it. they're really hatin' on the hardware. but from what i heard though using the 3D function really takes away the battery life and leaves it to five hours, while having it off keeps it at twelve. if i get a 3ds the first games i'm getting for it is pilotwings resort and mario kart. i just wish the price for it wouldn't be the same as i had to pay for my wii

          yay, another new system, another lack of mario game at launch, but all Zelda instead (even if it's a remake)...

          that being said, I'd get one right now just for Zelda: OoT 3D and kid icarus uprising.

            You finally said something I agree with. :P

            Why no StarFox?

              Don't bother buying this junk system and stick with the original DSs. The 3DS disappointed me when I realized once again that no GBA slot is present in the system. There is no way I'm going to destroy my entire GBA collection.

              Besides the fact that it may cause vision issues, it may lead to huge technical problems.

                Well, that is why I still have my old GBA SP and I kept my old DS after buying a DSi.

                        $250 is just too much for a handheld system, especially knowing that they will have a new and improved model of it out within a couple of years (they always do).

                          The conference on the Nintendo Channel was rather interesting and appealing until the part came where RFA started talking about what this system should cost and what it does cost. $249.99 for a handheld? :shock: The psp was right up there with price as well but the package seemed greater.

                            I JUST bought a DSi a few days ago from my work. Got it for 50$ (100$ off). I'm buying a flash card for 40 bucks so I can put DS and GBA roms on it. I'm not paying for no portable games, no sir!

                                I'm already planning to buy one. Yeah it's $250, but money is money. I am not afraid to pay money for electronics I want. I've got the money, so I'm not worried.

                                  I want a green one, not blue or black. I had a green gameboy, so I want it to continue that trend if you know what I mean.
