Hardware Would You Buy A 3DS?

[EVIL9000]

I'll decide once I see the thing in action. I will get to work with it any way (gamedeveloper - artist - for the ds/dsi)

 

[Satangel]

Haven't even seen it yet, how could I know it then?

 

[Hells Malice]

Not that interested in the 3DS. Especially if it pulls a DSi and never gets any f**king games.

I'll wait for reviews, and for it to have at LEAST 10 solid games. It really doesn't seem that interesting overall though.

 

[pristinemog]

I picked maybe because it all depends on the software for it. I usually don't buy game consoles (portable systems in this case) at launch anyway; waiting a couple of years for a respectable library of games (and possibly a price drop or inevitable hardware revision) is usually the way to go for me.

 

[sn0wfish]

i'll only get it if there is a game that i want to play on it

 

[Domination]

70% chance, extremely hyped for this. If this was just another DS, or a portable Wii(Like the PSP being a portable playstation) I wouldn't care. But this is a new experience of gameplay.

Still, have to take in the factors, like 3rd party support(Hell, maybe even first party support, maybe making 3D games takes more time?), the cash I have on hand, if I have the time to play, etc. I'm gonna sit out for at least 1 month. Don't think I want to squeeze and get it on launch anyways.

At least, hoping there would be Super Mario Bros. 3D and Mario Kart 3DS. 2 games should be enough, considering I take long times to complete retail games, and hacking won't come any time near the launch.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

I'm getting one for sure, I no longer own a DS so this would be nice for me. Plus, many developers will most likely shift to making games on it and move away from the standard DS.

 

[Defiance]

I don't know.. If it turns out to be pretty good, I might get it; if it's another gimmick though, probably not. I know it's supposed to be completely different from the DS, but I guess I'll have to wait until E3 rolls around.

 

[ykhan]

hmm
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabye
but damn i hope the games cost the same price

o and does anybody think that this: http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-patent...gn-165962.phtml
could be the design of the new cart for the 3ds
i very much doubt so but...yh

 

[awssk8er]

Waiting for more information.

I also have to see the lineup of games too. I learned not to buy a system from its specs from the PSP. Games always come first.

I would like to know a price, general design of it, and whether it's a new system, or just an upgrade from the DS before buying it.

 

[EpicJungle]

Waiting for reviews. But chances are im gonna buy it!

 

[lakaiskateboarding]

I will most likely buy one immediately, because I just need a new gaming system. Why is that? Well, I love hardware.

 

[themuddaload]

stupid poll.

we have no clue what it will end up being, or what it will look like...

fanboiz: omgyes ibuyit nao

haterz: its gonna suck, i wont buy it no matter what

smart folk: i will determine whether it is worth buying after it is released.

In that picture it looks like when you push the cart in the button hook locks in to place, but than to get the cartridge out, you have to press the button up top...? I like the spring system in the current DS(s)

 

[ShadowInferno119]

I'm now buying it more-or-less a year from now. It should have been out about 4 months by then.
I want to get a DSi first.

Hmm, why get a DSi first? If lets say the 3DS could play DSi Ware games, and had the browser support etc...

Oh and off topic:

Every time you post, you leave a little sexiness behind.

 

[Peelbash]

Last time i bought a system, it was Christmas 07. I deserve a 3DS, but still gonna wait for reviews.
ShadowInferno: Is that just for him, or it it for all of us?

 

[wanderone]

No.

My personal rule for buying systems that I'm interested in is that there must be 10 games I really want before investing. In the case of something like the 3DS, the technology and the games that showcase it both have to be excellent. If it's going to take a year or more after release before developers are getting on board and producing worthwhile titles, then I'll wait. If the 3D is just as much of a gimmick as some of the other DS features, I probably won't be interested at all.

Also, the system being hacked doesn't hurt. I've bought systems earlier than my ten game rule simply because I could play whatever I pleased -- but that doesn't happen often.

That's a pretty nifty rule.

I think I'll adopt it as well.

Of course, I'm so broke that by the time I am able to buy a system its almost past its prime.

 

[murkurie]

I will buy one the day they come out, as long as I can get pre-order in. or some random store has them when I walk in

 

[spotanjo3]

Would I buy a 3DS ? That's wrong answer because we dont know what it will look like and what game is like and etc. I will say no for now until I see for more features and so on before I decide for sure.

 

[Makar]

I'm getting one. I've had my DS Phat all this time and its about time I get a new Handheld -_-
