I Just Bought A 3DS

So... I'm a bit late to the party...

 

But yeah just last weekend I purchased a 3DS (a standard Purple, I should get a Twilight Sparkle sticker for it, its so cute!)! I bought one because surprisingly the 3DS seems like the best worth while investment in any current or future console (Wii U needs a better package, more memory space would be preferable).

 

So far I really haven't done much with it... I didn't have enough cash to buy any games sadly.

Though I'll probably be buying the new Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion 2 when it releases and much much more.

 

I'm actually rather impressed with the 3DS despite not even playing a full game on it yet. The AR Games were a bit fun to play with, there's a rather humorous game called Face Raiders where you shoot people's faces from actual pictures taken with the 3DS camera, and I picked up my first person on Street Pass the other day after taking it into town!

 

But the big reason I bought it is because I see it as a VERY worth while investment. The current and upcoming 3DS library is REALLY impressive and there's so much I want to play on it... but more on that later.

 

Also another shocker is that the much snubbed 3D visuals is actually not that bad! I was expecting not to use this feature at all after trying it in a display at Walmart and getting a migraine. I'll admit that its a bit gimmicky and you have to hold it in just the right positions, but it actually does add a lot of depth to games. I think its at least worth a try to see if you think it improves the visuals on your game, some games like Adventure Time look pretty neat, while others like Fire Emblem look a bit iffy, but those are just my opinion!

 

Hmm... I'm still awaiting some cash to start building my 3DS library. Till then I guess I'll play whatever demos come up on eShop.

 

So who all here has a 3DS? Are you satisfied with your purchase? What games do you play or are waiting for? Please discuss in the comments below! :D

I'm almost mad at you. I bought m 3DS a little after it come out, so I had to play the waiting game up until now for all the really good games to come out. But that being said it looks like the wait will be worth it. I mean Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, Pokemon X and Y, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, SO MANY GOOD GAMES!!! My only real regret is that I don't have the Charizard themed 3DS XL that's is, of course, in Japan only.

Look at that sexy beast. Why does Japan get all the cool stuff? Anyway if your looking for people to add to your friends list PM me and we can exchange friend codes. Even though you have no games....but hey you'll get some eventually.

JAPAN WHY? lol

 

I have a friend who just bought the Fire Emblem Limited Edition 3DS. That one is also pretty sweet, but it has NOTHING on that Charizard!

 

*Sigh* Maybe they'll have something cool for Pokemon X and Y. I wouldn't mind upgrading to an XL if that limited edition for that game was as good looking as that Charizard one! haha

 

But yeah I have a pretty big list of Want Its and Need Its or a "Hype List" as I've come accustomed to call it! :D I feel like I got one at the right time though. I had the cash and this year is a great year for the 3DS despite the competition looming later this year!

 

I'll probably buy up a few titles here soon. I'm mainly focused on RPGs but some great additions like Mario Kart 7 (which I hear is probably the best of the series) and the upcoming Luigi's Mansion!

Luckyluckylucky. :D

 

I've wanted one for a long time, but my family has always been kinda anti-gaming up until less than a year ago, when I bought a Wii (my first console). I bought a Wii U not long ago, and now I lack the means for a 3DS (or anything, really :P).

 

If I was to get one, though, I'm not sure whether I'd get the original or the XL. Most likely the XL, as we hardly ever travel, and all the other benefits of it.

 

I'm happy for you. :D

Glad to see you join us 3dsers...Of course,I actually need to get a new one since mine broke, but shouldn't be too much of a problem.


(also, 3dses don't break easily, I was just careless).

As long as you're getting Fire Emblem Awakening, easily the best game on the system and one of the greatest RPGs of all time... well, that's at least my assesment after a week with it(and I haven't finished it yet, and already plan to play through it again many times, maybe in succesion).

Purple's a nice choice, for it is what I have as well. Very satisfied with mine and the coming library is top tier. I recommend getting Resident Evil Revelations as well, for it really shows of the system's power and what it can do if developed for right, and Mario 3D Land as well. Stay away from Tales of the Abyss though, pretty bad game if you ask me and the only purchase I've made for the system that I'm not satisfied with.

@@MatrixChicken, I'd probably recommend the XL... I don't have very large hands but the standard seems a bit uncomfortable for me. Idk maybe I'll get used to it eventually.

Plus its only $30 extra dollars for that bigger screen!

@, Fire Emblem: Awakening will probably be my first purchase. I'm not too into the Fire Emblem series, but I love good RPGs so maybe I just need to give the series a second chance. Plus I've heard nothing but good things about the newest installment!

 

I hear Resident Evil: Revelations is *gasp* a surprisingly good Resident Evil game. I haven't been impressed with 5 and 6 just depresses me, but I've heard Resident Evil: Revelations is pretty good!

 

I've never played Tales of the Abyss... weird that you say you don't like it. I really liked Tales of Symphonia for the GameCube and a lot of people say its more of the silver medal of the Tales series, with Abyss being the top tier. Then again a lot of people say FF7 is the best RPG ever which I disagree so I'm not usually on par with popular opinion!

I liked Symphonia too, it was probably my first JRPG and it was great. Abyss's story is just abysmal though
