So here's the thing. I have money for a 3DS (which is kinda expensive in my country) and 1 game (which will be Fire Emblem). But the thing is that I've never been a huge fan of handheld gaming. I have a DS but in all honesty I never used it that much, my gaming sessions were pretty much always on the PC and Wii.

The main reason for me to consider a 3DS is because of Fire Emblem, aside of that there is Kid Icarus and the upcoming Mario & Luigi Dream Team (which I'm a huge fan of the series). There are other games in my mind but those are the big ones for me.

Edit: There's also Virtue's Last Reward, which is the sequel to 999, one of my favorite games of all time.

The problem is that if I get a 3DS now, I might not be able to get the Wii U until longer than I anticipated (maybe next year) and with the possible line up of games for the holiday it will be kinda hard to wait longer lol. 

So basically convince me to get a 3DS XL and spend $300 (that's both the system and Fire Emblem).


Get a 3DS and try to sell your DS since you dont need that anymore. (3DS can play DS games)

Buying a WiiU doesn't make much sense for at least 6 months.     I remember when the Wii came out I was playing Twilight Princess like an addict (even tho I had a GameCube and could have bought the game for the GC)   But  the WiiU  well   I played  NSMBU with my friends we finished it within 2 days And now I occasionally  play Sonic Allstars Racing Transformed.    There is not much sense in playing Tekken since the WiiU version has no unlockables as far as I know (everything is unlocked from the beginning.....)

Nintendo Land is not much of a single player game IMHO.  Pikmin  Game and Wario will come out in 4 months or so.   No Mario no Mario Kart no Zelda no Metroid (as far as we know)  no Smash  will be out before September.


Buy a 3DS.

P.S. whats your country?
