You should buy a 3ds and this is why:

1) Resident evil revelations
2) Super Mario 3d Land
3) Ocarina of Time
4) Mario kart 7
5) Kid Icarus Uprising
6) Paper Mario: Sticker Star
7) Luigi´s Mansion
8) New super mario bros. 2
9) Zero´s Escape virtue´s last reward
10) Layton´s games
11) Fire Emblem kakusei

What is this (bold)? Never heard of it. I really don't care about RE though.

Its the same type of game of 999, and made by the same creators. 999 is a ds game, its a text game, you should read the reviews, the ign one is a good one. The game is one of those cases of "amazing game not known by people".


Resident evil isn't as great as people think if you dont have circle pad pro smh. Kid icarus was not so good, cuz bad controls. Paper mario is still a dont know game seeing its new idea isnt sounding great tho i do want the gsme since i loved all the rpg marios especially the original paper mario. New super mario bros 2 is good but nothing new at all, had more fun on the wii game. Zeros escape virtues last reward is releasing on vita also and it looks alot better on it. And matter a fact the games release, it had a better vita first week then 3ds, yes outsold its 3ds counterpart first week in japan and in japan they have under a million vitas sold and like 4 to 5 mill 3ds. That says something. Layton games are only good to certain people, if you like to actually play games and not just think all day. That aint your game, virtue is only good if you like heavy rain type games. Fire emblem have a very small base, and disgaea is by far a better series. Fire emblem really onky has such a good name because smash. But 3ds has some awesome games like mario kart 7,sm3dland zelda oot3d wnd so on. But problem is apart from mario kart none of the game are not fun long term and most if not all are fairly easy games, like they made em only for kids 6 and under, even resident evil was fairly easy. Alot simpler then 4 and 5. Not to say they are easy or hard but around average. If tacticle games like fire emblem is tbis persons thing, disgaea has way more depth and is the best tacticle series out right now. Virtue is better to play on vita, and kid icarus aint worth the time with those horrible controls, i stopped and sold it after a hour lol. Kingdom hearts is the real must have on 3ds and mario kart, anything else aint really to important other then zelda or course lol

I disagree on almost everything you just said.

@pezus, it sounds to me like you dont want a 3DS at this time anyway. IF you can get Vita for cheaper where your sister is going instead of from where your at, IMHO you should go with that. As the 3ds wont be that expensive anyway



Chuva on 01 September 2012

Yes, it's a pretty cool system with great games.

Wait. Japan is well served, but not America imho.

If a 3D mario or all new Metroid comes out exclusively for the 3DS, and a brand new pokemon, then I would say go for it. Do you like Metroid?

Never really played Metro, only watched videos of it. Isn't 3D Land a 3D mario? o.O


Not like you'd expect it no. It's a hybrid.

nothing wrong with that. But I'm curious, what don't you agree with? Because I'm sure most of what if not all is correct.

Resident Evil really needs the second stick to have a decent experience.

Virtue's Last Reward, is better on PS Vita by far. 

Kid Icarus has horrible controls

Disgaea is the best Tacticle RPG series and is better then Fire Emblem and has way more depth

Most 3DS game difficulty level is too low. It really is, when playing games from nintendo and super nintendo where big.

This is completely opinionated when saying the mario kart and kingdom hearts is the only important games aside from zelda.

But it is a fact playing these games long term ain't happening because there is nothing to keep you playing on most games. NSMB2 tried but the BS you get for collection 999999999 was the stupidest reward for that amount of play, atleast a achievement or trophy would keep your honor lol. 

And NSMB2 really is nothng new. Coin collecting is something i did all the time nothing new im a person who loves to complete everything in games. And flying because you have a raccoon tail doesn't make sense still to this day. Atleast everything else has a slight bit of logic behind it lol. And gold mario -.- smh bad idea. NSMBW had a better game and better suites lol

But guess nothing wrong with playing these, but as someone who plays nintendo and playstation, these things just seem so obvious

lol i think i forgot some oh well im looking forward to luigis mansion next year. Also Paper Mario in nov, but this no battle experience and having to use stickers for battle tell me, avoid as much battles as possible and i have more resources. Really dumb concept.But i love paper marios franchise so ill get it. But nintendo will get some hate letter if they messed that game up, since ive been waiting since thousand year door for anext proper paper mario not that super was bad, but too different.

I agree with this pretty much. We have some siliar views. As for the bold let me spare you the embarrassement and tell you its a tanuki not a racoon and that you should be embarrassed. Oops, happened anyway, lol. Unless your trolling, then I disapprove.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I'm not sure if I'm too late but...

Pokemon was the only thing I used to play on the Ninty Handhelds, so if all you play is Pokemon and Mario then I would say go for it. You could also try out new games that are exclusive to Nintendo while you're at it!



NintendoPie on 01 September 2012

Oh, where in Orlando is your sister going? I could (possibly) give her some pointers.
