Hey everyone! So I'm thinking about buying a nintendo 3DS XL and legend of zelda to go with it. I'm a big fan of nintendo, but i never got around to buying my own 3DS. So my question is; does it make sense for me to do this now, or should i wait until nintendo releases its next handheld system and buy that instead? I am a little hesitant because when i was a kid, the gameboy advanced was released a week after i bought my gameboy colour. I know that won't be the case here, but i'm still curious. Thanks!

You will be waiting many years for Nintendo's new handheld, so you can wait if you want. They haven't even said anything about a new handheld. Just got my 3DS XL last Thursday.

I got my 3ds xl a few weeks ago solely for pokemon, and now I have over a dozen of games, including between worlds. Nintendo has yet to announce anything about a new system, and I doubt they would do so anytime soon. The 3ds family has a few years still.

I don't see the 3DS going anywhere anytime soon. The DS came out at the tail end of 2004, and was around clear up until 2011 or so. Actually I guess it is still around.

@gamerguy1415: The time was last week when Target and Amazon were selling them for $150.

You have nothing to worry about. The 3DS is an awesome system.

I think Nintendo is releasing Smash Bros for the 3DS (& Wii U) in 2014. This should become a very popular game. Nintendo will possibly release a few more popular games before moving on to the 3DS successor. I'm guessing the 3DS successor will arrive no earlier than 2015.
