The 3DS has games that are "pick up and play" so you can naturally close the screen at any time and pick up right where you left off. They aren't iphone games, but they're not all full console games, either. For example, Animal Crossing. Have you played Animal Crossing before? It might look kiddie or stupid, but NO. It's amazing. If you like fun, addictive games MADE for a portable and pick up and play atmosphere then the 3DS is for you. If you're looking for more of a console experience that you're gonna play in your house for long periods of time, and you never want something you can just grab every once in a while, open a game, and play for a few minutes to hours, then you don't need a 3DS. There are also some games on the 3DS that are made for long periods of play time, but they're probably not going to be your main focus. Unless they are. Also, don't confuse the 3DS and pick up and play games for CASUAL. Kid Icarus Uprising on the hardest difficulty is HARD. Super Mario 3D Land (the 2nd half) is HARD. (although I don't like that game) There is also a ton of variety and genre of game on the 3DS. So, check it out!

EDIT: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just finished my reply and you're leaving. Well then.

I just want to acknowledge xNonox who put it in terms where I now more or less understand why I have no interest in a 3DS. I never got a DS or a 3DS (last Nintendo console was a 3DS). On my PSP and PSVita I have gotten experiences very similar to what my home console delivered and the 3DS just was not made with this at heart. But I am getting a Wii U in the near future and will be using its gamepad as a handheld around my house a lot.

 

No further replies are neccessary. Thanks guys =) Looking forward to my Wii U when I get my tax refund!
