I welcome you to the painful hands club! Please tell us all about your cursing and swearing at how small the 3DS is in future threads. Especially when you get your hand on kid icarus :)

Also the eshop is wonderful. Downloads, demos, videos, trailers, etc. Even the original mario is new and different.

I'm more part of the painful back club! My gametime on the handheld is giving me crazy pain in my omoplates!

As you know already, I'm a fan of SFIV 3D, I'm also enjoying OOT 3D and Super Mario 3D Land.

DS, I am really enjoying Zelda: Spirit Tracks. It's nothing like the mainstream Zelda games, but for a lesser version it's actually better than many other games. The music is good, the action is fun, and even going around in the train can be challenging.

Other than that, I haven't played Dillon's Rolling Western but it looks like a keeper.

The Virtual Console games I would recommend are Donkey Kong (Very fun game, not your usual donkey kong game, please try it) and Zelda Link's Awakening (amazing zelda experience). I also enjoyed Mega Man on the gameboy, short but fun, and the price is reasonable. I also used to play Qix as a kid, great puzzle game. Lock n' Chase is also lots of fun.

Enjoy your new 3DS!

You must get Uprising. In fact, don't. You'll be playing Uprising so much that you won't have time for your other games. Haha

Agreed. Playing Kid icarus was for the last week nearly all I did when I came back from work.

So, do you guys have any other suggestions for games that I should have? How is Sonic Generations? Also, tell me other things that I need to know about the 3DS. Thanks, in advance.

Personally, I'm holding out for Paper Mario. Coming out in the fall. That's the big enchilada for me. Nothing else really grabs my attention, except mabye Mario Tennis or Luigi's Mansion 2. Kid Icarus doesn't look like my kind of game, and I tried Mario 3D Land and it was way too slow.

Also, Bravely Default looks like one to watch out for.

Pilotwing's not really worth it, it's more like a tech demo...
However you should definitely get Zelda OOT 3D.

I know I don't own a 3DS, but feel obliged to recommend against Pilotwing. The main reason being that it strained my eyes merely from playing a demo copy for a few minutes in a gaming store.

So basically from what I know, I go with the quoted recommendations.
