I personally enjoy RPG's and since most RPG's are on handhelds these days the 3DS is a must have for me. Rune Factory 4 and Pokemon alone are enough to justify the purchase of the handheld for me. Nintendo has already released a ton of Mario games for it and those are all available at your nearest retailer. You can play games like rune factory and Pokemon for a long long time each. Even if I only had those 2 games all year I could easily keep myself busy and not desire any more games, heck some people could probably spend a year alone just playing rune factory. You can spend infinite hours with Pokemon, just breeding for good IV's, I know I have in the past!
I really don't care what people think of me for playing pokemon, if that becomes a problem with someone then I don't need them as a friend period because something as trivial as playing a video game should not be something that breaks up friendships. If I enjoy the game then I am going to play it simple as that.
There is also the possibility of the Dragon quest 7 remake coming over, in fact I would be surprised if it never came, so I am pretty sure it's coming at some point since every other DQ DS game made it over.
The 3DS also plays regular DS games, and I find it hard to believe that any one person cannot find at least 3-4 games between the DS and 3DS library that they want to play. It's just such an incredibly huge library to choose from that it is impossible to not find something you want to play.
