So let's get things moving with a mini-topic: What is your favorite feature of the 3DS?

That you can turn off the 3D

I am intested in the VC too. Bit weary of it though.

Ok, I'm changing the mini-topicGeneral Discussion: What are your reactions to the Nintendo 3DS?

Still thankfull I can turn off the 3D. Well, I have said it in another post, but I must say my interest in it is not that high. Being I own every Nintendo console home or handheld, thats not good for Ninty. My reasons.

Price- $250 is too much for a handheld imo. It doesnt help that  things such as the 3D which is probably a good size of the increase in price isnt that big of a deal to me, or really at all.

Games- Well, I am interested in couple of them. Such as Kid Icarus-I alo enjoy Ridge Racer games-Steel Driver looks pretty neat too. However, not one of these games is going to make it a must have for me. Theres some other games they have mentioned like Final Fantasy-2D Mario-Mario Kart-Paper Mario, Animal Crossing. etc but they are not here yet and god knows when they will be, or how long it will be before enough of them are out to finally get me to buy one. The DS and WIi are full of my kind of games. 

Direction- I have not a clue what direction Ninty is taken with this console. So far, it seems more like a N64/Gamecube type of system in high tech and game direction.  I do own both those systems. However, I never played them near as much as my others. I dont plan to buy another system like them at least at the $250 price tag. 

All in all the system is a wait and see. The DS and Wii had plenty of games I enjoyed a lot, so I am hopefull. But, im not investing until I see that hope as a reality. Note I did not buy a Wii or DS until the 2nd-3rd year of them being out.
