[Megathread] Nintendo DS/3DS Discussion (Round 1! HYPE!)

[Kankuri]

I got to GameStop at 11:00 PM. I left GameStop at 3:00 AM. That was probably the worst coordinated thing I've ever seen in my life. At midnight, they opened the doors and let everyone rush in. There were some people waiting in the parking lot, not in line, that took off into the store when the doors opened. After there was literally no room to breathe, THEN the employees started taking names for those "in line," which is hilarious because there was no fucking line. There was only a mass group of people swarming the counters. After that failure, they started handing out numbers, and told everyone who didn't give their name or who didn't get a number to leave the store. This part happened at around 1:00 AM. When people started leaving, they began issuing numbers at the door. The problem with this is that many of the people that I knew were in front of me were suddenly WAY behind me due to the failed number system. Being the non-asshole that I am, I swapped numbers with someone that was standing in front of me earlier. A few people followed my lead and did the same thing. When the tension cooled down, many of us just bullshitted around while waiting on our numbers to be called. I didn't actually enter the store until 2:50 AM. I had already told one of the employees that my #1 reason I was there was because of the Zelda 3DS, and to have it ready for me at the counter. I also picked up a couple of old PS2 games my brother has been looking for. I knew the exact amount I needed, and I had my cash ready. Hell, I even broke the money down into $20 bills to avoid $100 bill bullshit. My total time spent at the register? Around 15 seconds. I already knew what I wanted, knew where it was at, and knew my total before I got there. I only wish some of those moronic customers had the same brain capacity.

But at the end of the night...this thing is far more sexy than I imagined.

And that jacket makes me look like I'm borderline 300 pounds. Holy shit.

Lord that's a great looking system. If it wasn't for those Ambassador rewards I would've grabbed that in a heartbeat.

Just a little disappointed the box didn't come with a small music jingle when you opened it.

Awesome batman hoodie!

I'm so jealous, it looks so sleek. I might just settle for the crystal armor they sell for 3DS. :/

Just for you, I'll show off the two that I have with me tomorrow. I have all three skins, but my sister has the green one on her 3DS. A friend of mine was wanting me to give a little bit more details on the Zelda 3DS, so I might as well throw the skins in there too =D

Awww you should have played the actual music while you were taking it out of the box, and done the pose first thing!

That's a pretty awesome looking 3ds though. Skelington is acquiring one, so he is happy

Hmm I'm torn between the Zelda 3DS and the Flame Red 3DS coming in the Mario 3D Land Bundle which I like somehow.
The biggest Plus for the red one is that I can just wait till next year after some more good 3DS releases. At the moment there are just 3, maybe 4 titles I want to play.
(LoZ:OoT, SF64, SM3DLand + maybe Cave Story 3D)
But till next year the Zelda 3DS is most likely sold out...

Besides: Where is my 3DS Kirby Game!? =< Would be my main reason to buy a 3DS not kidding.

They'e redoing Kirby's Adventure in 3D, but the game looks the same besides that, will be on the 3DS shop I think. I want a new Kirby title though. :<

Have you two played Kirby Mass Attack on DS? It's actually not that bad. It's kind of like the bastard child of Pikmin and Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

I stopped playing the DS since the Lite days :x. While Starfox looks great, I just can't get myself to buy a 3DS, since I'm no longer a big handheld gamer.

Yup! I have it. It's fun, but it's not as good as normal Kirby gameplay.

There's so much to love with handheld games. Far from being the kid-brother or bastard-child of consoles, handhelds have evolved into a world of their own, and it's awesome. The DS was a JRPG lover's paradise, and I have high hopes for the 3DS continuing the trend.

What blows my mind about the 3DS is the almost unlimited multiplayer possibilities. The 3DS already has a built in friend system. While it isn't much right now, they promise that it will blossom into something much more useful. I've already heard about these "communities" that are being implemented for Mario Kart 7, and it sounds like Nintendo is trying to push for an Xbox LIVE-ish online platform.

That makes me unbelievably happy in my pants.

I was already too excited about the whole "we want to make the next SSB cross-compatible with the Wii U and 3DS" part.

WTFOMFGBBQHAX...Just give me the damn game already ;-;

LoZ kicks ass, bro gave me a 3DS for my birthday with LoZ, and Starfox, my 2 fav. Nintendo games successfully revived by nintendo.
