Am I the only one that doesn't find the 3ds lineup appealing?  I mean, half the freaking games are just ports or remakes.  Shouldn't that wait until after the system has proved itself with its own set of games?  

I was excited about the 3ds before I found out the price and the games, I usually buy systems right when they come out, but I think the 3ds just got set on the backburner.

I am excited for layton vs wright though.  

That list is 70% new games!

New Pilotwings (first in 15 years)
New Kid Icarus (first in 20 years)
New Paper Mario (first regular Paper Mario in 7 years)
New Animal Crossing
New Mario Kart
New Resident Evil
New Professor Layton

The 3 remakes are also pretty popular, and make more sense than stuff like God of War Collection, which was an HD facelift 4 years after God of War 1 and 2 years after God of War 2.

When the 3DS comes out, Metal Gear Solid 3 will be 7 years old, Ocarina of Time will be 13 years old, and Star Fox 64 will be 14 years old.

I mean, yeah, it's 90% sequels, and 9% remakes, but I think it's the best and most diverse launch lineup I've ever seen.  And the original games will follow all the big franchises.  I mean, Nintendogs sold 23 million and hasn't had a sequel for 6 years.  And come on... Layton vs. Wright.  That's like a double sequel.  This launch lineup is ridiculous.
