But I am very hopefull in the future they will release some top quality games.

I think that this is a very complex question when you break it down. As a new 3DS owner I dug carefully into if it was worth dropping the cash into what could in reality be a one or two good game system currently. After doing some research I determined that wasn't the case and broke down in bought one, and so far I'm not regretting it. I purcahsed FE:A, Scribblenaughts Unlimited, Professor Layton, and Tales of the Abyss. The key that people have to remember is that this isn't a home theater system like an Xbox or PS3. Handhelds generally succeed as a system with games that are easy to pick up, play for an hour or so while on the move, stop, and jump right back into. As a rule of thumb, although there are exceptions, you generally aren't sitting down investing 6-8 hours at a time into a game. So if you keep an open mind and understand how the system was meant to be experienced and view games from that vantage point, the games are good as a whole. You can get quick games like Mario where you can just do a level, stop and be okay with it. Similarily, games like FE:A prove that games can have great stories and greatgameplay, while still adopting to a "quick save and go" type structure (booksmarks in that game). Even games like Zero Escape (altough arguably that is more of a interactive story with a few puzzles) can go overlooked because they aren't like COD or Gears which sadly this generation has come to see as all that matters. So approach the library like that and be willing to step a little outsid eof your typical game comfort zone and I guarantee you'll start to be a more impressed with what the current library has to offer, as well as what's coming up in the future. topher78714Ah I see. I was just hoping Goldeneye 007 would make the handheld one day. But....I want the console to succeed. I don't want it to become like the Wii U. [QUOTE="Blabadon"]There's a lot of good-to-great games in all sorts of various genres, as far as objective taste goes. As for me? The past library has nothing too much for me (RE:R is on consoles, never been into SMT or MK on handhelds, EOIV's demo was meh, SM3DL wasn't that fun and neither was OoT) except for FE:A, which was balls-out fantastic. The future has Pokemon and Mario and Luigi, two series I love. But as for the overall system itself, it has FE:A that interests me, and then nothing too much right now. I'm with you on this.
Not what I'm saying. See OOT got translated from console to a port on the 3DS. I guess the N64 games can be ported to the 3DS... But....I see the point you're making. It's spot on.so..you want like console games on 3ds?
thats what the vita was supposed to do but they failed.
aside from RE revelations.its slim pickins in that regard.

Specifically, which titles are you talking about?MinishdrivebyI'de love Goldeneye 007 and an Mortal Kombat game to be on the 3DS. Sadly I don't think that will ever happen.
Shin Megami Tensei IV soon. I'm very happy with the quality of the 3DS games. Only console I own is the 3DS everything else is PC. Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart have so much playtime I can believe how great the games are. What's not to like?so..you want like console games on 3ds?

I've been quite pleased with the system. Just bought Ridge Racer 3D and NFS: The Run is on it's way, got them cheap from an online auction site. MK7 isn't enough, I wanted something faster. Ridge Racer hasn't disappointed me although the lack of online play sucks big time. NFS has online play, I hope there are people still playing.
PS Vita has started to interest me and I'm probably going to save up to it and buy it next fall.
Edit: NFS: The Run sucked ass btw. It's slow with the 3D on, ugly and what's wrong with just driving? Damn mini games...
I think it's doing very well so far Ghost Recon, Fire Emblem, Soul Hackers, Resident Evil Revelations, the update of Devil Survivor, Tales of the Abyss, and Zero Escape are all excellent games. I'm looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Project X Zone, and there is a 3DS update for Devil Survivor 2 coming out in Japan so we might get that. I have hope for the handheld Batman Origins title as well.

Doesn't look like it as far as the 3DS is concerned. What first party games have there been? I was really excited when I first heard about the Paper Mario game but lost interest when I saw that it wasn't like the N64/Gamecube one (same way I felt about the Wii Paper Mario). I never really had any interest in Luigis Mansion or Kid Icarus. I own Star Fox and Star Fox 64 so I didn't really see any reason to buy the 3DS version.

You should get interested in Kid Icarus and Luigi's Mansion. Some of the best for this system. Mario Kart 7 is also amazing and has basically infinite replay value with online and local play. Super Mario 3D land is also great fun, but it's only about 22 hours long, and that's if you finish 100%. Haven't played my Paper Mario 3DS yet.I think it's doing quite well as far as library is concerned. I am not sure I've found a perfect 10/10, best-game-ever kind of title on it yet but there are more games I want to play than I have time to play and that is w/o taking any other systems into account. Overall, it is not at the same level as DS or GBA but it is honestly already pretty close esp. if you include some of the really great download only titles. In a few years, I could see it having the best library of any handheld ever.
