The thing is, I had already watched the MS, Sony, EA and Ubisoft conferences by then, so I really wasn't expecting anything anymore.

But yeah, seeing how the 3DS is pretty much my second system (third if you want to get technical and include my computer), ut's really more of a "what can you offer me to keep going with it?" kind of thing than anything else.

The other system of choice would be DS, in case you were wondering. Still lots of games to enjoy on that.

Hey cool, NSMB2 has koopalings.

Luigi's Mansion 2 extended footage Looks fantastic.

Got my 3DS yesterday...along with Kid Icarus uprising. Still learning the ropes, but the 3D is pretty nifty. I'm mostly waiting for better games to come out.

No friend code yet since I can't access the internet...

Part of me wants to say that it would fuck up pre-second pad games, as anything made before wouldn't be able to use it.

But then another part of me says that since older games couldn't use it any way (as in, they re not programmed for it, it wouldn't even register on those games), it's a moot point and they could still put a second pad any way. Older games would be able to run without using it, and newer games would work just fine. The only problem is people having to get a new 3DS to play newer games (which is normal, as most people tend to do so at some point any way).

Another part of me wants to say things were simpler in the GBA era, as that was the bestest era, and you kids with your analog this and touch-screen that can suck it. 240 x 160 for life!

Anther part of me is asking why I bothered to type all this out.

Depends on what you're still thinking about.

If you're still on the fence about getting a 3DS even now that Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus Uprising, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D, Resident Evil Revelations and more than a handful of worthwhile eShop games are out, think about whether or not Paper Mario Sticker Star, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, NSMB2 a new Harvest Moon, and Kingdom Hearts DDD coming out this year and Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing coming out early next year are worth buying this new handheld for. Tons of exclusives.

Or did you mean something else?

And some people's obsession with the 3DS needing another pad, how is the system suffering without one? It's not like the Vita is selling like hotcakes and the 3DS is missing out on key, do-able ports. If you like the games available, get the system. None of them require a second stick. Everything will be fine. I don't remember anyone bitching about the GBA needing more buttons because every other system had 4. And I seem to recall the DS had 1 Direction Pad. Did you not buy one of those because you were waiting for a revised model with an analog stick? It's a little pitiful.

Sorry for bumping the old 3DS thread. It's finals week and my life is hectic, anyways.

"Just a reminder for those that do Club Nintendo, June 30th is the cutoff for platinum status. I was resting at 580 points (20 away) and just happened to think about it randomly today. "

I bought Pushmo, and it's not showing up on my Club Nintendo account. Suppose I'll try to wait it out and see how long it takes to show up.

I'm saving my points for Pokémon Conquest until after the first, so I can use them for the next Club Nintendo year. Gotsta get Platinum again :D

[Soma]

I'm surprised I'm close to hitting platinum at all, I honestly don't remember buying many Nintendo games this year. I haven't played my 3DS at all this year either. Last 2 games I got were Mario Kart 7 and 3D Land.
