It's just a video to show off the 3D effects.

I believe they are sculptures that was at the demo, they had 7 things I believe. Resident Evil, and some other things. I just read about that on Kotaku.

I figured as much, but with all the crazy ass announcements, I had some hope!

Originally Posted by Strell Kid Icarus, Zelda, Mario Kart, Pilotwings, Star Fox, Paper Mario, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Super Street Fighter IV, Bomberman, Professor Layton, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, probably others I'm forgetting... And you're saying no killer app? I'm not even suggesting all of these are - I'm saying SURELY one of those is appealing. Just going by announcements alone, that's more than the launches of the Wii, DS, PSP, 360, and PS3 combined.

You just reiterated the announced game list. What I see from there is: Interesting, port port port port port. As I (think I) said before, I am somewhat interested in Kid Icarus, but didn't see anything on their announcement list that gets me really excited.

None of the other games you listed seems like a killer app - the kind of game that couldn't be done on any other system and that you have to buy this for. Will there be any games like this? Especially when the 3D feature can be turned off entirely? I doubt it. Then again, I see very limited uses for 3D in gaming or in film, so maybe I'm the minority here.

Lastly, talking about launch line up? Are you kidding me? If 25% of your list shows up at launch, I'd be absolutely shocked.

I'm sure I'll get one eventually, because I love Nintendo and I love new toys, but, as of right now, I see no compelling reason to line up for 3DS on day one. Especially if it's priced as I anticipate, at $180 or above, to take the DSi XL's current pricing place in their portable lineup.

Strell, I think I understand where you are coming from!

Hoping this to be out by the holidays and priced much less than $200. (as that would be the same cost as a wii)

My point is that the list pretty much hits every genre one could want for a new hardware launch. Your dismissal had me sitting around trying to figure out what could possibly be missing at this point. And frankly, a lot of those ARE killer apps. Tramping everything off as a rehash just seems can't-ever-be-pleased mentality.

Ok ok ok ok ok. I get it. No Rise of the Robots. And yes, the hole left by that is staggering.

Umm Paper mario I'm pretty sure is not a port, none of the paper mario games had a chain chomp helper character, its a new game.

the 3ds looks great and looks like there will be some solid games going with it. The only thing that I was hoping for that doesn't look like is happening is being able to transfer VC games to it. Still looks pretty good. Will have to wait for price to see if I'll be getting this at launch though.

I think I will pay any amount up to $250 for this one. Now if they only had MP3 support I would not need my zune, well considering I could listen to music with it closed, idk how the DSi works.

All I need to know is a release date and cost. Nintendo already has my money, I'm just curious and and how much of it they're getting...

Seriously, Nintendo killed at E3. Hands down, no questions asked.

I think they'll try to keep the price under $250. Ideally under $200. I'm hoping for pricedrops on all the DS's, and the 3DS at $199.99. (Well, really, I'm hoping for a 3DS for $149.99, but I don't think we'll get that wish.)

I know. Kinect and Move got nothin' on the 3DS.

I'm going to hope no more than $199. Anything higher and Nintendo knows they are asking for a slow initiation period. Yes, it's going to ride on the DS wave with another new added "wowee" factor, but you have to remember that the original DS didn't get very far until the release of things like Nintendogs and Brain Age. Besides, a handheld eclipsing console pricing is going to have weird ramifications.

In other words, either keep the price at a place people are willing to go for (citation: initial PSP price) or have some software to back yourself up.

Either way though, they've got my money too. I'm going to hope for a holiday release because that absolutely will benefit them in the long run, assuming maybe a dozen 3DS-specific launch titles.

At the risk of being called a pessimist, I find myself not that impressed with the 3DS. The 3D seems to be awfully gimmicky...something that will wow me the first time I see it, but as time goes on loses its novelty. Then of course, there's the risk of third-party people using it just to use it (without it adding anything to the game experience) or using it horrendously. To be really sold on the 3D aspect, I really want to, well, see it first hand, and see a game that uses it that couldn't be done on the DS.

Course, I'll most definitely end up getting it, just not at launch. I'll wait till at least the second revision.

Damn. A third model is gonna take 2-3 years you know.

I was thinking about waiting for a revision since I know it's coming, but the DSLite didn't get here until 19 months after the DS Launched. I don't think I can wait that long to buy a 3DS.

Man I hope this comes out by the end of the year. I want to go to a midnight release.
