It really depends on the quality of the 3D and that it isn't gimmicky as hell. I really hope that sony will be announcing a new handheld this year so that there's something to fall back on. One thing you can count on from sony is a standard, gimmickless system with great hardware. If the rumored hardware is real, I think we'll be able to expect a ps2 emulator similar to the psx in the current psp, and that would make it the greatest handheld ever. I guess that opinion's also due to the fact that I mostly use my handhelds for their emulators; the only thing better than playing classics is playing them anywhere.

Definitely getting it possibly day 1 purchase if possible. I grew up with the original Game Boy system and have owned every North American unit from GB to DS Lite except the GBA SP and Micro. So yeah I'm a big fan of Nintendo handhelds so 3DS will undoubtedly be awesome to me. If a newer sexier model comes out later and is every way better than the original I'll sell the original and get the new one so it's no biggie.

Although I'm usually all for Ninty's products, the choices they made with the Wii have kinda put me in the grey area.

If I were to get one at launch, they'd have to ditch the friend codes, make some darn good games for it (And not just updates of Gamecube games), and be blown away at the unveiling.

If not, well, who am I kidding, I'll still probably get one eventually, knowing me.

I highly doubt that they'd get rid of friend codes. Nintendo are family friendly, so they want to keep that image with friend codes. I would assume, anyway.

I'm getting one for sure... But I'm going to wait much longer than most people.

I'm going to wait until there are atleast 10 "worth it" or "Must Have" titles.

This will give flashcart makers the chance to develop a stable enough flashcart for the new system.

I need a flashcart, I can't go back to carrying 20 NDS cartridges AND my DS in a purse again.

on launch day hell no! I got burned buying DSi and couple of month later they released XL -______-
They didn't put any love on their revisions...just to get more money out of people for useless gimmick. so unless they have some really good spec this time + enough games that actually support the 3d tech I won't be seeing this.

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.

Looks generally don't matter unless it was the GBA Micro or PSPGo.

I mean, these companies haven't really gone wrong. Maybe Nintendo. Minus everything after DSi. That and, not many systems have ever 'looked' terrible. Sony slims down their systems and cuts prices while they're at it, Microsoft doesn't really do much, Nintendo DS...blah, and Sega was good before...an article said something about some guy screwing Sega over left the company.

As for clues, it's going to pull some 'amazing' '3D' type of thing, it'll be a lot like a DS(that's a bit too obvious).

Ontopic - Not going to bother getting one. Maybe will consider it one day, but eh. -Still trying to get a DS Lite-

I might buy once its hacked and capable of running commercial roms. and as I said before, nin10doh will probably do something stupid like put 2 lcds on top of each other so that one image liiks higher than another.


no its been reported that the 3ds will use a special screen that allows the image to look 3d without glasses.

I see two sides of this.

I bought a psp fairly early in their life (1000 series)

This was good and bad, It was WAY easier to hack all 1000's are hackable, but the 2000's have a slimmer more reasonable body, and extra ram

So by buying the 3ds on launch I might get a good working 3ds, but it will be suped up later.

Then again Nintendo might not release the 3ds's upgrade for 2 or 3 years, at which point I'd facepalm.

Probably not, not due of the 3DS itself but because I already have plenty of unfinished games on the DS and GBA, it seems a bit pointless for me to buy another handheld without clearing some of those first. Whether I buy one later in its lifetime, prehaps. We shall see.

But the 3DS has backwards compatibility with DS games, so you don't have to worry about it

I'm going to buy a 3DS, unless it's really expensive like, let's say, a PSP Go.
