I don't even have a 3DS, I refuse to buy one with such a bad battery life and two tone colours. However I do own Fire Emblem: Awakening LOL.

wth lol, get an XL it aint that bad, dont miss out, i saw your sig Pokemon Y so your gonna get it. Waiting on better color? Anyway KIU, FE awakening, Mario+Luigi, and Pokemon are all must haves imo

I want to get an XL, and brand new the battery might not be bad, but in time it will fade. a 3DS XL's battery life is I think 4.5-6.5 hours new. My first gen DS had a claimed 6-10 hour battery life, and now I usually only get 5-6 hours out of it. I usually don't need much more, but I actually only play handhelds out of the house, usually at work (I have a chills job, where I get paid to sit and wait)

So 4.5-6.5 hours now will eventually become 3-4 hours, and that's not good enough.

I'm patient though, I just bought a PSP last year and I have close to two dozen games to play on that. I kinda want to wait on a 3DS redesign, I have a feeling Nintendo might go dual analog, or at least make significant improvements to the battery.

However NoE is releasing a solid black 3DS XL with the Monster Hunter Bundle. I'm not a fan of Monster Hunter, but if this system released as a standalone unit, I'd be very tempted. I have a feeling Nintendo will at least release new colours by fall 2013, so I will get Pokemon and play it soon after its release.

Right now, my list of must haves are:

Fire Emblem
Pokemon X/Y
SMT IV
Super Mario Land 3D
Tales of the Abyss

and the rest I'm debating (I have 2 dozen PSP games and a dozen DS games to catch up on)
