Title: Nintendo 3DS

Has anyone seen the 3DS yet?  I think it looks pretty sweet.  I watched the Nintendo Press Conference at E3 the other day and got so excited when they brought the 3DS out.  It has a superb lineup of games too, including but not limited to: Star Fox 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, and Nintendogs + cats. 

You can see screenshots of all the new upcoming games at the Nintendo Press Kit website (http://press.nintendo.com/E32010/). (Username: guest, Password: nintendo)

What do you guys think?

Nintendo utterly dominated E3 this year. Their line-up before the 3DS was spectacular, and it gave all of their long running fans something to drool about. (Hell remake to Donkey Kong and Golden Eye.) After all that, you think Nintendo would be tapped out, right? Wrong.

They revealed the 3DS.

At first, I had my doubts about the console. Honestly, I thought it was going to be nothing but a stupid gimmick. 3D Gaming? Ha. That sounds stupid. Well, the proved me wrong and I'm glad they did. The graphics on the 3DS are superb for a hand held console. (Or at least what I can tell from the one preview game.) The framerate was steady and stable. It has a sleek design, nice features, and massive line-up of games. There is a list somewhere. Most of them are Sony or Microsoft 3rd Party Developers. That just shows you how successful it is going to be.

TL;DR - I expected the 3DS to bomb. Nintendo owns my soul even more now. I'm considering getting "Nintendo" tramped stamped onto my back.

Haha Baka thats a good one. Also I agree with Raikt, Nintendo did amazing this year. Microsoft only brought up a new 360 model and Kinect...and thats it. (I think) But personally I'm a Nintendo fan and I can't wait for this and the re release of OoT.

I was a little sad when Donkey Kong and Goldeneye weren't being made by Rare anymore. Retro (Metroid Prime people) took over DK so it should be okay, but I think Activision is doing Goldeneye and if anyone has been keeping with the news lately, knows they haven't been acting very well recently.

Makes me want to break out the old N64 and play some games!!

(Also, I thought Kinect was kind of cool, I'm just waiting to see how responsive it is. Mostly excited about Halo: Reach!! I want one of the new Xboxes too--250gb HD!!)

Seems cool. I'll cross out the 'DSi' from my 'try to obtain' list, and putting the 3DS instead :P

I've never owned a DS or any of the nintendo game consoles. I don't like nintendo games too much so I probably won't bother with this.

That's a shame :(  Nintendo does have a lot of good stuff.  I admit though, I use my 360 a lot more than my Wii.  I still get a lot of use out of my DS though (for obvious reasons).  DS is the best handheld IMHO.

The 3DS comes with a little toggle switch so you can adjust the 3D to your liking (how much it pops out I guess). So you will be able to turn it off if your head starts to hurt XD

Also I heard from people at E3 that the 3D is really immersive and is almost like actually being in the game. It's just really hard for Nintendo to show that off when you're watching on a 2D TV/computer.

Yeah, I heard about that. But to totally honest i'll prolly be one of the people who leave it on till they get the headache then remember there's a switch lol

*Sigh* another DS that I have to get rid of my DS lite to get, or I could save money to get it, either way I want it (I like the black one it matches my Lite)

I don't really see this as "just another DS" considering how it's a next-gen handhold (they mentioned backward compatibility with regular DS, meaning that 3DS games won't work on a regular DS, meaning that it's a different hand held completely). Sure it's based on the DS and sure they're pretty much the same, but it's not "just another DS (that everybody wants anyways)."

I'll be getting it for sure, if not just for the Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid 3 remakes. A new Kingdom Hearts really helps it too, since I've been a big fan for a good while now. I just wish that the nest Pokemon gen would be featured on it. Doesn't make much sense to leave it on the DS now that all the hype for 3DS has started.

If they left Black and White on 3DS, they would be shutting out more fans, not everyone who wants Them will get a 3DS.

Pokemon Black and White will be playable on old DS' as well as on the new 3DS.
However, in the future, new games will only be available for the 3DS.

In corporation eyes this is clever, because that eventually everyone will need a 3DS to play the new games and therefore the corporation will make more money.

Just like the Game Boy-DS Transfer.

I think they are making too many unnecessary DS's. The DS lite made it so you could change the light, and made the DS a little smaller. Then there was the DSi, which is just a DS you can use to take crappy pictures and go online. Laptops can go online faster and with a bigger screen, and you can do so much more with them. Then they made the XL, which seems like another desperate attempt to make a better DS. The 3DS sounds cool, and I'm sure I'll end up getting one, but it seems like they need something else, something..  Awesome, to improve the DS enough so that when I see a commercial, I will say "I want that"

I'm still using the original DS I got about 4 years ago, and I'm not going to bother with a new one until I need to get the 3DS to play the games I want to play.

Yes, I didn't too much bother to obtain the DSi and the XL because there weren't the slots to migrate pokemon :P

But now that I migrated all that I wanted, plus HGSS contain many pokemon that are otherwise only obtainable through migration, I can have the new 3DS without much to left behind.

The wii has a pretty good line up of games. I am super pumped for skyward sword, and other M. I don't even own a wii. My friends have Wiis and they use them frequently. The wii is more of a party system them.

As for the 3DS, I cannot wait. As long as they make it backwards compatible I will be happy with it and probablly buy it within 2 weeks of it being released.
