How to cope until 3DS launch

I barely even think about it since I've already played the 3DS a fair amount, loads of stores in the UK have demo units, so my curiosity has been satisfied.

I also have pokémon black which is remarkably fun and distracting, so I'm not thinking of the 3DS too much.

I'm pretty excited myself. But I have Pokemon Black to satisfy me.

I am doing a Earthbound Zero, Earthbound, MOTHER 3 marathon run. I plan to beat them all (Zero for the first time, Earthbound for the 8th, and MOTHER 3 for the first time on HARD MODE got it's tough) until the launch.


I advise you all to join me.

You lucky dog. This island in the middle of the ocean has nothing to satisfy me. :angry2:

You know, that game didn't catch my interest like any of the others did. Maybe I'm just too distracted to play it at the moment.

I just might take you up on that. If I didn't have work to do.

Ah. That's ok. Just get around to it as soon as possible.

It's only the BEST series ever made. Just sayin'.

Or start out by trying an Earthbound run through. Should last you long enough if you take the time to explore, and have other things to do in life.

I feel exactly the same way. I literally have been checking Nintendo3DSblog and here at least six times a day for more information.

I'm constantly thinking about it, but I don't even find any of the launch games that appealing.

I try pretty hard not to talk about it to either my mom or friends, but end up mentioning at least once a day...

That's exactly how I feel! My sister has been pretty irritated since she's the only one home this week

me too, but more like 20-30 times a day >.<

Days are going by mad slow but kinda quick if yknow what I mean. Currently drooling over North American unboxings. Even if there may be demo units available near me I should best hold off as that may make the wait even more unbearable. I've waited almost a whole year, I'm sure I can wait over a week from now.

Totally know what you mean by the time thing... maybe. For me it either feels like the day itself goes quickly but nowhere close to launch, or it feels like the day lasts forever but the launch inches closer. We don't have any demo units here until after launch (and I'm getting it launch) so that's one bullet dodged (or jumped into). I also feel like I can endure another week, but it'll still suck to endure.

I found two routes to a gamestop having a midnight opening just in case.

Y'know what's worse then the 3DS release being at the end of March?
Knowing it won't have any games worth playing for a while after that. At its release, it's just a tease with some crappy games.

AR Games may be better than you think, Face raiders too.
They're by no means light on content.

I am picking up Street Fighter IV and Nintendogs Lab & Friends. Only two titles at launch that appeal to me.

YES, I find Nintendogs quite fun.

If worse comes to worse I have my trusty DSTWO as back up.

I think the thing I am most excited about is the SpotPass... I hope they give a lot of games/functions for it. It has HUUUGE potential...

As does everything about the 3DS.

Just beat Earthbound Zero, for the first time. such a sad ending... Amazing game. Hooked up my SNES and got distracted by Star Ocean... beautiful game. Maybe I will take a pit stop before playing Earthbound again...

those two and pkmn black will tide me over until OoT comes in june

I also can't cope with waiting. What I do is just play Okamiden, Pokemon White or subtitle some tv-shows (that's my hobby besides gaming)

Find a new hooby maybe play a sport basketball is always a good choice when people say wat do.

Discussion is a pretty cool guy.

I have school the next day, so I was just going to walk there after school. Plus, midnight openings are a pain; especially if you can't drive and the nearest midnight store is over the mountain

I was hoping that the preloaded games, along with Nintendogs+cats (yay cats!) and some other game (haven't decided) would tide me over until OoT is released.

I'm hoping that'll turn out to be true. I'll need some good appetizers while I wait for the delicious main course of OoT.

I think my game choices will be the same, if I have the cash. I enjoy Nintendogs as well, and the cats look like a very interesting addition. I have an AK2i as backup as well, and I might buy a 3-in-1 so I can GBA game a little too on my Lite. SpotPass sounds pretty cool, but since I don't often cruise Kailua as often anymore, it probably will only be useful if I go to the mall or something. (I camp in Borders while I game/read)

I'm hoping the same thing. I'm really looking forward to OoT, but June seems so far...

I'll give Pokemon Black a shot, and I might get Okamiden if I spot favorable reviews (or just for the lulz).
Also, subbing TV-shows? I'm imagining you are talking about foreign language shows...
