[quote name='ActionKazimer']Haha, you sound pretty against it already.
It's a cool console with a cool library, but outside of Nintendo AAAs and JRPGs, you'll probably be left wanting. I'd say I play it and my Vita an equal amount. Overall, my PSN/Vita collection is larger due to all of my PSone classics and PSP titles. As far as original content goes though, the 3DS library has a pretty clear number advantage. Doesn't mean much if they're not your kinda games though.
Wish I had an answer to going rates on the eShop. I'm not in there terribly often.
And let's not kid ourselves. Look how many times the DS got a makeover. It's probably gonna happen again.[/QUOTE]
I was never mad about the extra 3DS models after the DS Lite. I started with a Lite and was happy with it... but if I had gotten a 3DS before the XL or price drop? I'd have a grudge against Nintendo. That ambassador program was bullshit and not really compensation for the early adopter fee.
I'm pretty sure I'd use it as a DS/3DS (by this I mean I wouldn't touch the 3D function, it'd be essentially locked in the "off" position)... but if for some reason those Oracle games are going to the WiiU virtual console and not the 3DS eShop, then that's another strike.
Speaking of -- did the DS backwards compatibility ever get any better than it was originally -- lots of people complained about the aspect ratio and blurriness of the original emulation, I think because of the screen sizes?
And I'm not against it, I just hate the idea of someone spending $150+ on me and then me not really digging the gift, y'know? I'm in no rush here. I'm sure I can cop one eventually, but right now it's about the only thing I could think of that fits the probable budget constraints for what I'd ask for and is something where I'd never really buy it myself but might love it if someone gave one to me.
I have a 3DS wishlist on Amazon, though I should probably update it to figure out exactly how many games there are that I would like to play on the system.
If Mirror of Fate was a proper Castlevania or even Metroidvania, I'd be more into it, but the impressions are all over the board, so I know it's not the next SotN or Dawn of Sorrow.
The Amazon wishlist has 9 titles, but nothing I'm dying for:
Zelda OoT
Starfox
Mario Kart
Super Mario 3D Land
LM2
NSMB2
Shinobi
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Mirror of Fate
Edit: Add DKCR 3D... this might have just sold me on it.
Shame that promo is ending, if it was good til the end of May, I'd be all over it.
Does any one know what the game sizes are for going digital on a 3DS? It takes generic SD cards of some sort, right? How big of a card can you get? Also, is Nintendo's digital policy any better since they started pushing digital sales through the eShop?
