Mario: Super Mario Bro.

Pokemon: Honestly? Now its X

Zelda: A Link to the Past

Metroid: Zero Mission

Mario Kart: Mario Kart 64 (not that I've played many since then)

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Fire Emblem: Only played the 3DS one, but loved it.

Super Smash Bros.: SSB 64, never did play Brawl though.

I carry my 3DS in my bag, I'm just careful with my bag (besides its got my laptop and calculator in it too).

My copy is arriving Monday, really can't wait to get started. A Link to the Past is still easily one of my top three games of all time :D

Yeah my launch 3DS is the same way. Not anything I would worry about.

As for games, if you like Zelda, get the new Zelda game. If you like Pokemon, get the new Pokemon game. If you like turn based tactics, get Fire Emblem. If you're into Mario games there is one of every flavor.

Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to avoid that. Lucky we live in an age were they can hopefully update the game.

Looks great, getting very excited for this :D
