Nintendo 3DS Problems

So 2 days ago I retrieved my paycheck with part of the money I get for working in some illegal activities developing some e-learning courses. I have to wait a while until my bank can make tangible the money in my account because the check was from a different bank. I hope they don't take too long

 

Ok, here's the deal, I wanted a 3DS so badly, since it was announced, I just fell in love, like it happened to with the DS, but not at first sight, it was love when I held it in my hands and played with it. Anyways, my problem is that the 3DS XL (no way I'm getting the old one, though it looked cuter) is kind of expensive with a pricetag of 249.49$, every single place sells it with this mothabucka price, and when I look in Amazon it only cost 199$, they are stealling 50 dollars from me! :(

And on top of that, I still don't see the 3DS with much interesting games, sure I like me some Mario, but Mario is not something I JUST MUST HAVE, but really the 3DS is so gorgeous, that I want to try some Mario and whatnot. The games I like are cool I guess, but they don't make me desperate to get them, anyways the games I have in mind are:

  1. Super Mario 3D Land
  2. New Super Mario Bros 2
  3. Mario Kart 7
  4. Paper Mario Sticker Star
  5. Mario Tennis Open
  6. Resident Evil Revelations
  7. Tekken 3D Prime Edition/ Dead or Alive Dimensions
  8. Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater
  9. Kid Icarus Uprising
  10. Zero Escape Virtue's Last Reward (before playing this, I want first the DS predecessor)
  11. Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D (probably won't get this one XD)
  12. Rhythm Thief (probably not)
  13. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D (probably)

Note the games in bold, these are considered priority like I must have them, the other ones caught my attention but I'm not so sure about them. The 3DS is so cool, I don't understand why it lacks games! I mean good games.

 

Would it be better if I just buy it on Amazon? I have a credit card, but I don't know if the shipping end up being as expensive as buying it in here. Another thing can be wait until it gets more games, or wait if it gets another iteration lol, and probably use the money to buy PS3 and WII games (I only need like 5 more wii games to let it rest in peace, the rest is pretty much crap), there are so many 20-something games on Amazon that I always wanted to get, and the cool thing about it is that I can buy a lot of games in one order, rather than if I get the 3DS probably with just 1 game (preferably Mario Kart 7). I have enough money to buy both things, but hell no I would do it, I always like to save money, I'll never know when I can need some money for something really important.

 

So yeah, I'm kind of thorn with what to do now, perhaps maybe it's not my time to get a 3DS, even though I want one so badly. What should I do guys?

I'm not sure what to recommend, Motion but if none of those games really interest you that much, i would suggest you to wait for games like Pokemon X/Y. There might be some kind of bundle with it or reduced price.

 

Out of the list you made, i would place Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus Uprising and Paper Mario Sticker Star at the top but that's just my taste. x)

Kid Icarus is a must, that's for sure, I know ALL Mario games are good but to be honest, I've never played and beaten a Mario game in my entire life, so I'm kind of hesitant about them.

Though a MUST HAVE will be the new Luigi's Mansion, that game is a master piece. (I played the LM for gamecube)

Don't get Mario Tennis Open. Quite frankly, it sucks. The only way to win a match is through pure luck. No skill is involved whatsoever. Don't waste your money.

Agree, i'm also looking forward to Luigi's Mansion 2. I'm not sure how much interest you've in the other franchises (Kirby, Metroid, Zelda, etc), We know some of those will appear this year too. About the 3DS library being a bit thin... i've to agree.

Metroid, Zelda, Kirby, etc, are not present on the 3DS (i don't count the remake as a new game) At least Pokemon will be in oktober but i hope the other ones catch up as well.

to be honest with you I'm not a nintendo fanboy, I buy the consoles, but I consume more third party content, so that means, I never played zelda, metroid or kirby. When I say play, I mean, a deep gameplay of these games, but I know what they are. The only nintendo franchise I follow without a second thought are the Smash bros series, these are my favorites games of all times

That's okey, i'm not bashing third party content in any way. I guess i'm just such fanboy. :P

 

Either way, if you end up picking something else from that list... I would recommend Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It's so different from all other mario games and it's humorous and funny overall.

 

A bit of warning though... the game can be hard to get through. I must give Nintendo a "don't give the player a single clue what to do" award for this game literally. ^^

I was thinking on picking this game anyways, I saw a pretty good damn review about it, and I just loved it even though I never played a paper mario before.

It's very laggy, almost to the point of unplayable. I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst games ever to have Mario's name slapped on it. (Of course, I'll send you my copy if you want it. I certainly have no use for it...)
