I'll agree with GAK here, I don't have a 3DS but I have played on it at a technology convention and by god it was actually quite awesome considering it was a handheld device, should Pokemon come out on it though I will spring for a 3DS simply because it is Pokemon? Why shouldn't i?
I don't think a new pokemon will come out on it for a while. But I think these games- super smash bros, luigi mansion, paper mario, mario bros, and mario kart, kid icarus, and ocarina of time- warrant a 3ds purchase.
I don't regret my purchase. The 3D isn't even the main draw, though it is amazing when implemented correctly. The games are just fantastic. Kid Icarus: Uprising is reason enough to get one as far as I'm concerned, not to mention Super Mario 3D land and OoT 3D. The eShop has dozens of quality titles to download, and club nintendo has new ones for download every month.
I didn't buy my 3DS for the 3D feature, in fact I hardly ever use it. I was attracted to it by the good games (Ocarina of Time, Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus, Resident Evil, and especially Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater).
Don't have one yet, but my classmate does. He promised to let me borrow it for a while once KH3D is released, but I think he's playing Kid Icarus on it at the moment.
I don't have a 3DS and to be honest i really don't need it because i may find its emulator online, so if you don't wanna buy one just look for a 3DS emulator online so that you can play 3DS games on it for free.
Wow I didn't know about the whole 3ds emulator thing, i'll have to check that out. I would get one but I'd rather get myself a PS vita instead, i personally think its far more superior.
