Is it just me or 3DS is... Magicians's Quest announced! New Scans for Layton vs Ace Attorney! Toriko First Screens, it's a... RPG?

Not too many interesting games for me, but I do appreciate the 3DS XL and Fire Emblem. Paper Mario is also another excellent game.

Now I'm just waiting on Advance Wars, Metroid, Smash Bros, and a new Zelda (hopefully similar in artstyle and gameplay to Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask).

Will buy a 3DS XL when Fire Emblem comes out, hopefully they make a dual analog redesign by then or at least a special edition Fire Emblem 3DS.

I never played a Fire Emblem game before (never even seen one before... yeah, I know, bad Nintendo fan!). But I'm willing to try this new one, as it looks like a great place to start. Paper Mario is also on the very top of the buy-chain.

Never played Advance Wars too - notice a pattern here? - but I'm dying to hear more Metroid news, be it on 3DS or Wii U. And I know I won't get it, but I would love a new Zelda in the same vein as the DS ones. To me it was amazing how well that gameplay worked, some moments really shocking me.

About the new design with 2 pads... I really think Nintendo shot itself on the foot... but on the moment of creation. Now there's nothing more they can do, imo. Best we can hope is a more nicely designed CPP (like that one from Nyko). To me it's 101% chance there won't be a new 3DS with 2 of those, which sucks, but it's understandable.

But what about third parties?  Have any games from them you want? I'm having a blast with 3DS news lately because my two favorites are very onboard - Capcom and Level 5.

Yea, unless you want to start on the GBA Fire Emblems, the 3DS is an excellent title to start on. I think Famitsu gave it 36/40, which is really good. Paper Mario is also an excellent RPG, but it's just not as good as Super Mario RPG for the SNES.

Man you're missing out. GBA-3DS are excellent for turn based strategy RPG's, it's the reason why I got my DS (Advance Wars) and waiting on 3DS (Fire Emblem). Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Battle are excellent too. Some with PSP, many regard Jeanne D'Arc as one of the best titles on the system and it's not that different from Fire Emblem.

You won't get the next Metroid, but you're dying to hear about it???

As for a 3DS redesign, I'm just being hopeful. GBA has a huge redesign when they made the GBA SP, but the change from DS phat to DS lite wasn't that dramatic. Still, I just don't want a system where the screens touch. Probably going to get a 3DS XL anyway, which does feature a small redesign, but anyway....I'm being hopeful.

Third Parties? I'm not interested in too many third party games yet, I think they are waiting for the install base to grow before we see anything big yet. I'll get Tales of the Abyss and Resident Evil when I get my 3DS, and maybe Bravery Default, but I don't see anything special from third parties just yet.
