I've always wanted a black New 3DS (not the XL) in the states because it looked like the coolest handheld ever. Unfortunately, we didn't get the smaller new 3DS model for a while and when we did, it was bundled with a mediocre game and an undesirable face plate that just forced up the price. 

Nintendo's made some very odd choices these last few years.

Right there with you on this. Now with the rumors that the Wii U will cease production this year, I am losing all confidence in Nintendo. Been pretty tired of their nonsense for the past few years and I am sick of them getting free passes from so many people. I will most likely be selling my Wii U soon. It has been collecting dust and now it is most likely dead in the water. Thanks Nintendo.

I still think they rule handhelds, but handhelds are becoming less and less popular, so that doesn't mean much. I love my 3DS, still buy games for it from time to time (playing Fire Emblem Fates right now).

I agree that their consoles are falling behind the rest in terms of power and games, but I'm a PC gamer so all the consoles are falling behind me

I mean NX could change my mind but who knows.

I've been holding onto my Nintendo Wii U in hopes of playing the new zelda game being made but if it's true that Nintendo is halting production of Wii U titles I have no use for my system. I've found the Wii U to be underwhelming and still shocked the console won't play dvd's. Even the Mii creation is exactly the same with nothing new added and the name for the console alone is too similar to their last system. The last straw for me was at launch I had to get the basic system and I can only have at most (without memory cards) 2 game save files before the system is full. TWO! That's ridiculous. Not to mention I hate the tablet thing of a controller, it hurts my hands after 30 minutes of use.
