I'm just curious who is planning on buying the 3DS when it comes out.

The only thing that looks exciting is Starfox 64 3DS, Ocarina of time 3DS, the Virtual Console for gameboy and Gameboy color games which hopefully will include Pokemon yellow and the new features for Pokemon games.

No, but we already have a thread on the 3DS...

What's with this strangely ad-like posting style, anyway?

Old habit sorry and i saw that the last post was October 30 of last year, so I thought it would be considered bumping or something. As a result I created a new thread.

I might buy it if the 3D effect works out for me. Unlikely as that may be.

If it doesn't, chances go down a lot.

Maybe I'll buy it, just for Paper Mario 3DS and Starfox 64 3DS. The price might not be friendly, though.

I'll only get it if I can find a way to get it under £200. Else, I'm sitting out until the games pool for it gets deeper.

Even if I don't play my DS much nowadays, I probably wind up getting one sooner or later.

Most likely later since i already have plenty of unplayed games as it.

I probably won't buy it immediately, but if I can find any kind of a price cut, well, that might change things.

That and when the homebrew rears its head.

That may be your current situation, but it may change. I've bought I think only one imported game. Region locking in my opinion is pointless. Not many people are going to buy imported games due to the fact they can't read it.

About half of my Wii and DS collection are of imported games.

Heck, some publishers here flip-flop between using Eu and US copies of their games here.

Importing games doesn't just mean that they're in Japanese.

The only reason I see importing is to get games that aren't out yet.

Sure.

If you're in the US that's probably the case.

On the other hand those of us outside also have to deal with crippling delays for everything but the most major titles (Most games in the GCN era were delayed 6 months to TWO YEARS) and being charged double US RRP for the privilege.

Then Nintendo will update it again. I also read some where these updates are going to be mandatory because certain games will require and include newer firmware to work and if you you don't have it, want it, have custom firmware or have used the after mentioned products they will brick your console.

That sounds exactly like the Wii, and there seem to be few/no problems for homebrew/etc people there.
