To be honest I've already got 3 handhelds, I don't think I need another

If that wasn't an issue, well we know virtually nothing about the 3DS yet so it' impossible to make a call now, I'd wait for more information. I'd never buy a launch console, rather leave them some time to weed out the manufacturing defects first.

I'll actually probably by this one, skip the first revision of it, then buy the 3rd version since it would probably include quite a few new features even if it's just like a size upgrade. I disliked carrying my Original DS after having the Lite for a day.

Yes I would and will. Even though I have not seen it yet, if pre-orders were available today, I would be in line to place mine.

As soon as i can reserve one at work i will be. From that point i will see 10 to 15 bucks less of my paycheck every 2 weeks till i pay it off. Wont seem like as much of a strain to pay for that way.

I won't be buying this at all most likely. I've never been a big fan of the 3D gimmicks, whether it's for a movie, or a game system.

My opinion is open to change, but most likely Nintendo will fail to impress me with this. It will have to be truly spectacular, with a decent price, for me to even consider it.

Meh, I'll probably just buy one regardless of what the reviews say. I really hope it turns out to be a great system, but if not I can just add it to my collection :-)

AH HELLS NO!

The 3DS is going to be the DSi's DS LITE!
It is just another "hardware add on" to further prove that Nintendo has put this whole DS crap on life-support!
Just release another damn hand held gaming system all together!
Nintendo needs to stop "recycling" their hardware...NINTENDO WII...and start making better systems.

Microsoft is kicking Nintendo's butt when it comes to graphics and hardcore gameplay.
If it wasn't for BLINX the Time Sweeper becoming such a failure, Nintendo would have died with the Dolphin!

If they think they can get a cheep sale by having the 5th gen Pokemon Games on the 3DS then I won't even bother!
What good would "looking into a cardboard box filled with cardboard cutouts" going to do in a Pokemon RPG game!?

Nintendo is not for the hardcore gamers anymore, sure there are THE RARE FEW of hardcore games here and there but now Nintendo is nothing but a gimmicky, casual-gamers' paradise!

Even Pokemon has become stale and repetitive...which is sad.

You want to know how Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going to play out; well I can guess most of the storyline here.
Mario was invited to ________ by Princess Peach and was hoping to be able to relax for a change.
Until Bowser crashes the fun with _________ and _________s Princess Peach away in _________
Mario soon gives chase to Bowser and the Koopalings whom are riding into the night sky in __________.
Before Mario can reach the___________ that Princess Peach was being held hostage in __________ comes out from
nowhere and blasts Mario into the dephs of space!

Mario now wakes up on _______________ where he meats ___________ who plays _______________ with him.
After Mario wins the game of ____________ he is introduced to ______________[Princess Rosalina?] whom tells him
about ________________[Bower's plot to destroy the universe and create a new one?] and he must collect stars
to restore the engine to the __________________ [Now a super-fast star craft] so that he can travel to _____________
[where Bowser is] and save Princess Peach as well as stop Bowser from ________________-ing the universe!

There's the story, now just make 8 fuggin' worlds with 10 missions each, call up Charles and tell him we need some more voice samples for Mario and add Yoshi, then mass produce it and ship it to all the stores by Easter 2010 in the USA for all the kiddies! Oh, and don't forget to add stupid gimmicky Wii Motion Controls and some puzzles that use that crap!

I bet that's how the Mario Galaxy Game will play out!

I'll just wait for Microsoft's XION or something.
the 3ds IS NOT just an upgrade to the dsi its completely different using different carts or what ever there gonna decide to use and is gonna be frickin 3d. Its a whole new console altogether, most likely the only similarity will be the fact that they are dual screen other than that no differences.

Most definitely. But not on launch.Hell no!
I am still waiting for Sony's (or even Microsoft's) announcement about their handhelds. I always wait for reviews and my decision would heavily rely on how well it would serve me.
So, yes I will eventually end buying it but if my other options appeal to me even more, I guess I would go with that before the 3DS.

I have bought every Nintendo Handheld (with the exception of the original GB, GBA Micro, and XL, and I don't plan on buying the XL), and this sounds pretty intriguing. So I will get this launch day.

Mario games don't need a storyline unless it's an RPG. They depend on the gameplay. That's what made Super Mario Galaxy great. The storyline in SMG was shit but who cares! I for one don't pay attention to the storyline unless it's an RPG.

Just bought the DSi XL.

I am thinking the next item is either as big, or it has ZERO to offer me. I got the XL because I wanted bigger.

I am also thinking I only need to buy a new item so often.

I don't see the 3d nature of the next item being of any real worth to me.

I will buy it for sure. I may not get it at launch but I will own one eventually. But, I might buy it at launch just to resell for $$$$.
