Software and im not talking ports, soon as Ninty announces another Mario&Luigi im there or a new TWEWY, whichever comes first


Paper Mario is far superior! Mario & Luigi RPGs just seem like Paper Mario without the quirky humor, rather going for the cartoonish humor, and I love them both but after the Thousand Year Door if I hear a new Paper Mario is coming I get way more excited than a Mario & Luigi, though you know it's coming lol

Also nonports are what I've been playing not sure about anyone else, Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver, and Ridge Racer 3D are all original titles, SSFIV has yet to be on a Nintendo console, and the first time the full experience has been on the go.

Really the ports I'm interested in are dwarfed by the original content, MGS3, Star Fox 64, OoT, and maybe Splinter Cell vs Paper Mario, Mario Kart 3D, Super Mario 3D, two Resident Evil titles, the slew JRPGs, Animal Crossing, and probably most of all Professor Layton vs Ace Attorne


I agree and these(and many more) are pre E3 titles. After E3 their might be to many upcoming releases lol.

But ports are not always bad, imagine Burnout 3 for 3ds.

I more interested in this than a brand new version because it was the best burnout since it was released. And not too many people owned it(including myself)


While you certainly need a significant number of high quality original games that take advantage of the capabilities of a system, ports offer a lot of value to gamers (especially on a handheld system).

If you look at people's playing habits, the vast majority of gamers probably didn't play 10% of the top 10% of games released for the Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBox, PSP, and Wii (the games most likely to be ported to the 3DS); and if developers port these games it means that there is a high quality game being released for the 3DS that most of the owers of the system haven't played.
