Its graphics. Yeah I know that sounds stupid but I thought the 3DS at the time was going to be another DS but it turns out it was a new platform. With the addition of a widescreen and its graphics I wanted to buy one instantly.

Nah, its got some pretty nice graphics IMO. I really enjoy OoT's graphics already, and although there are issues with 3D, I am really enjoying it at the same time.

Well, I'm addicted to Pokemon so I'd basically need to buy one eventually, so yeah...

It didn't hurt that there were bound to be other great games too. :P

For Mario 3d, I just completed the game 100% today, it took me 24hrs and 31 mins. I also bought my fiance a 3ds so we could play multiplayer games when more are out, so I bought it for the fun times with the missus.

Well I buy every Nintendo console at launch. Sure, having SSFIV for a few months and playing DS games was fun but I wanted more 3DS-centric fun. (Okamiden and P-Black held me over) Then Ocarina 3D, RE: Mercs 3D came out around the eShop and things started getting fleshed out. Now with Cave Story, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Nano Assault, a slew of great looking eShop games as well as the GBA/NES games, with Revelations and others on the horizon its all coming together to be better than I ever expected.

I guess the main reason I got one are the first party titles and so far it has delivered, even though it was just recently. I bought it on launch day anyway...basically because I'm a sucker for new systems. :p

Hopes of a new Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem, Super Smash Brothers, Shin Megami Tensei, Zelda, Mario, and Metroid game. The Tales of the Abyss port kinda sealed the deal for me though.

First party titles man! After seeing OoT, Mario, Mario Kart, Paper Mario and so on, I knew I had to have one. Looking back at the DS, the 3DS will probably get awesome third party support in the future too.

Mainly because it's a new handheld and to check out the 3D. I was not impressed but rather enjoyed Ridge Racer. Honestly just getting tired of the same first party titles and hoping for something new next year.

The main reason I got my 3DS was because I knew it would have games that I wanted to play.

And I'm not just talking about the terrific Nintendo games, I also mean any interesting and well-made 3rd-party games that come out, like they have on previous Nintendo handhelds.

I was hoping for some good RPG's. I know there's a few coming out next year, but the wait is killing me. At least I got Zelda to hold me over, but that's not a true RPG.

There's a lot of reasons but my main one is the games. I like almost all of nintend's ips. and I'm not playing all the time so those games fill me up quite nicely.

Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D

Resident Evil Revelation

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

Kingdom Hearts 3D

pretty much, those games are the reasons why I bought the 3DS, now REM and OoT are out. There are only two reasons left to keep the console out of dust.

It was a gift from my parents when I topped my class. I actually wanted an Xperia Play but it wasn't available in my country so my parents decided the 3DS was the next best thing. Some months later, I can say I prefer it to the Xperia Play. I love ya, Mum and Dad! :D

Oh, the reason? *blinks stupidly* Sorry :P I was a newly recruited Pokemon fan and a 3D Pokemon game was bound to come out on it soon. I haven't bought Pokemon Rumble Blast because for $40, it doesn't really seem worth it except for the most desperate Pokemon fan but I'll buy it used for a lower price. As it is, I'm content with Pokedex 3D as of yet because I can read up info on Pokemon I never heard of before. So, Pokemon. And Mario. Even though I despise Mario, 3D Land was very good.

Oh, and yeah. Resident Evil :D I didn't hear of Kingdom Hearts until after I bought it.

Because thankfully I had money to spend when it was released on launch day. Mario 3D Land and MK7 make it worth it.

Simple: Zelda bundle

I was going to wait a while, maybe even until until the first hardware upgrade, but then the Zelda bundle came along. I've owned every Nintendo handheld over the years, but never got any of the Zelda special editions.

EB games had a "trade in 4 games of at least $8 value and get $100 off." So, I trade some some of my Mario-type DS games for the deal. Typically, I keep all my games, but these ones havent been touched in years. (I'll always keep my zelda/mario karts though.)

So, I got the Zelda bundle for $99 and a sweet coupon book for EB games with a ton of great cupons ($10 off games, buy one get one free, trade in deals, etc)
