I know probably already about a million other people have posted this, but are you getting the 3DS or not? I might if the prices go down after it comes out. How about you?

The price probably wont go down in years. The the original DS never went down in price.

I'm for the 3DS. But I'll be getting it when Zelda, Mario Kart, and Animal Crossing are all out.

I think the price is actually reasonable for a brand new, next-gen handheld. You can't compare the price of a brand new system to those that have been out for over half a decade.

Anyway, yes, I'm getting one.

Day 1 for me. I've been waiting on the DS successor for years, so I don't plan on waiting.

:roll:

Anyway, Nintendo has already said there are no plans for a 3DS "Lite", which makes sense when you consider that the 3DS is the culmination of over 5-years of research and development of the DS platform.

I'm waiting, not for a price drop, but for when more appealing games come out like Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart. :)

We can all admire Jasonguys sheer force of will in the face of undeniable facts that tell him he is wrong. :roll:

I would counter your post, but we've been over this and you'll disappear from the topic when me and dzimm once again show you how wrong you are to expect a 3DS lite anytime soon :P

probably. its nice in a way that japan gets it first. we will be hearing more concrete info on the battery life under different conditions as well as info on any glaring flaws in build quality (usually ninty get it right but there not perfect) and the tolerence of the 3D sweet spot. if theres nothing seriously wrong in these areas then i will be picking it up. if there is then i will wait for the lite.

"The first thing (Nobuo) Nagai-san (Nintendo General Manager, Manufacturing Division), who's in charge at the Uji plant, said to me when he looked over the designs for Nintendo 3DS before mass production began was "This time it's fully packed right from the start. That's why we don't have any short-term plans for creating a more compact version of Nintendo 3DS like we did with Nintendo DS Lite." -Satoru Iwata Source

I have no idea. I don't want to buy SSFIV for essentially the 3rd time. I might get Samurai Warriors Chronicles for the sheer hack and slash gameplay. Might turn out to be repetitive, but it's really the only game that interests me at the moment.

Yeah I don't even know if I will get a launch game because even though I will be getting Pokemon Black/White on launch, I won't be able to play them until the 3DS launches, so might just get the 3DS and play Pokemon for awhile :lol:

That said, if you know that about 1 million others have asked this why not just answer in one of their threads?

I will eventually.. but right now, there aren't enough games for me to justify paying 250 bucks for it... once the nintendo ds starts to fade and a new pokemon/dragon quest, or once they start selling gameboy games on it I will consider it a must buy :D but right now.. id just be playing ds games on it anyway :P

I will eventually. I was planning on buying it at launch, but I changed my mind when the launch games were revealed. I'm kind of interested in SSF4, but not as much as OoT. I'll probably buy it sometime in July with OoT(if it comes out by then) and Skyward Sword(IF it comes out by then). :lol:

I'm interested in the hardware itself, so I'd still get one even if none of the launch titles appealed to me. Besides, the hinge on my DS Lite cracked a couple of months ago, so I need a new system anyway.

I am definitely grabbing one at launch. I'm not overly worried about the 3D aspect, right now, because I know there will be numerous kinks to work out. I used to have a DS a long time ago, but with the 3DS, I'm finally getting back to owning a console so I'll have a bit of a back catalogue to catch up on. Plus, I'll have Pokemon Black to be worrying about.

I think the price is actually reasonable for a brand new, next-gen handheld. You can't compare the price of a brand new system to those that have been out for over half a decade.

Anyway, yes, I'm getting one.

Oh, you little CAGer :P $250 is a little steep. I'll wait for a discount/good bundle deal or I just won't get it... My DS Lite and other handheld will keep me occupied

I have my pre-order set at GameSpot, all paid off. By the way, anyone planning on getting the 3DS but not pre-ordering isn't getting a 3DS, or atleast probably not. I've been through this a couple times but i'll say it again. There are 5 million 3DS units shipped worldwide. Half of that is being distributed in Japan alone. That leaves 2.5 million units left. 900 000 units are being shipped to Europe, 100 000 of that being shipped to the UK. Thats about all that i've heard, which means the rest of the world (everything except Japan and Europe) have to share 1.6 million 3DS units. It doesn't take a geologist to know thats a spanned out distributive area, it doesn't take a mathematician to know 1.6 million units for all the countries in the world (subtract Japan and Europe and all the countries that aren't dealing with Nintendo) isn't a lot, and it doesn't take a gaming/business analyst to tell you that the 3DS is gonna be in high demand.

I feel Nintendo only saying that so that more people will buy the 3DS right away instead of waiting. I guarantee Nintendo will tinker with the 3DS over the years and release a better version.

Probably, but expect something along the lines of the 2nd gen Game Boy Advance SP with a slightly improved screen, or the DSi that added a camera, digital storefront, and some inconsequential changes under the hood and nothing else of note (and sold for a higher price). Anybody expecting a substantial upgrade like the DS to DS Lite is ultimately going to be disappointed.

I'm hoping they won't make a 3DS Lite but if it does happen then they better include 3G. These days everything portable should have 3G. And if they can't promise it for free, they can atleast include a Sim Card slot so that people who are with a wireless network can access 3G on their plan. You can share your data plan over Smartphones, Laptops, Netbooks and Tablet PC's. This would just be adding another device. And isn't that what Sony is doing with the NGP?

Right now I'm not interested in the 3DS. I'm only playing portable games for train rides, the 3DS is definitely too much of an investment for something like that. I pre-ordered the Pokémon White DSi bundle, that should suffice for a few years.

I really want to try it out so i will be getting it at launch even if there are only one or two games im interested in. THe thing is, as long as the 3DS is not broken in some way, i dont mind getting it early. It will be a long time before a price drop and even then, DS lite took 2 years to come out. IF THERE IS A 3DS LITE, i dont expect it anytime soon. Im not willing to throw away 2 perfectly good years waiting... especially when the good games will probably start to come out the first year and you KNOW those never get price drops. If i'm just gonna wait one year, i might as well enjoy it as long as i can before buying the newer version and play with it for two years.

Nintendo has said they won't consider adding 3G until they can offer it for free as they don't want to force people to pay extra to use their consoles.

Well, sure, you can be a pessimist, but as Iwata has pointed out, the 3DS is fully-loaded right from the start, so there's really no where else to take it. My gut tells me that the 3DS will be the most stable Nintendo handheld platform to date. In fact, I'll go ahead and predict that we won't see any notable updates for at least 3-years.
