3DS

welsh_girl · 02-25-2011, 11:15 AM

I was playing on one today (They don't come out until 25th March here) and oh my god I loved it.

I only got to play one of the in-built games where you take a picture of someone and proceed to spin around the room with the DS shooting them flying in 3D.

I've got one pre-ordered (did before I played it, trading in DS ad Xbox for it coz I'm a PS3 person)

Anyone else have a say on Nintendo's latest?

Spenner · 02-25-2011, 02:06 PM

I can't wait to at least try one out first-- if it's as visually intriguing as I've been told/read then I'll definitely want to get my hands on one of these o:

Hopefully they have an R4 or something like it for them B)

**bmah** · 02-25-2011, 05:35 PM

Yeah, I'll be definitely getting it, but probably not until a couple months pass by first.

Same here.

Great line-up, 3D gimmick and I really need a replacement for my first-generation Nintendo DS (from 2004, iirc)

**T-Force** · 02-25-2011, 06:01 PM

It's a definite on my list.
Only one more month. x]

knaveEboi · 02-25-2011, 06:07 PM

It's a for sure thing on my list, I have heard good reviews about the 3DS from my bro, however you can only choose from two colors shining black or blue.

Too much money

**Kibblre** · 02-25-2011, 06:11 PM

I don't want to buy one, but I definitely want to play one.

Pretty much this. Although I would like a chance to play it at least once and experience it, I don't really play handhelds enough to justify my buying one, even if I had enough money for it.

Getting marissa a DS for her birthday at the end of march.

Atm the DS XL sells for $299 still... The 3DS is only gonna be $349 so I am thinking I might even jut get her one of those if the XLs don't drop in price after the releae.

Talk about money out the ass

I don't know about you, but where I live, the 3DS is going to cost $250. Better deal than a $300 DS XL.

edit: yep, just check Gamestop for instance
edit2: I think that's what you meant...in which case, a 3DS is a no-brainer; don't get an XL

bob bob · 02-26-2011, 02:59 AM

well you can get it here for anything from £159-£259, and honestly im not paying more than £179 for it, it looks good and the games look great but honestly, im still a bit skeptical after the virtual boy failure (although this does look impressive and i hope this does buck the trend)

**bmah** · 02-26-2011, 03:07 AM

Haha, you're actually making comparisons with the Virtual Boy? oh boy

bob bob · 02-26-2011, 03:28 AM

well it was their first attempt at a 3d-ish console and well

the less said the better

who_cares973 · 02-26-2011, 03:29 AM

lmao the virtual boy

**T-Force** · 02-26-2011, 04:47 AM

Jae, don't bother with the DSi XL. Either go 3DS, or, if you're impatient, DSi/DS Lite.

So which game will everyone get first?
Depending on if I get it soon after release, Street Fighter IV DS. Although Pokémon Black/White will get a lot of gameplay. XD

**nois-or-e** · 02-26-2011, 12:21 PM

I was only thinking mainly for marissa. Bigger screen on the XL is all...

Also, look up GAME or EBgames in australia and see what prices are like here

This country sucks so ****ing much when it comes to games.

I played on the Blue one. It looks more shiny Green and is actually nice looking.

I still kept my pre-order for Black though.

**T-Force** · 02-28-2011, 01:09 PM

Jae, the screen for the DS's/3DS are still gigantic. And you want to have something small enough for her to be able to hold right? =P
She'd still have an easy time seeing things with the others.

It's your call though.
