I agree completely. The 3DS is definitely the best hand console ever and is arguably one of the best console of all time. It just needs more time for more games to come out and sooner or later, hopefully it'll beat out the original DS as the 2nd best selling console.

 

I ordered my Animal Crossing online as well, and it'll be arriving on Saturday as well! ~ ^^

 

Buying Animal Crossing tomorrow. So excited!

Let me know how that goes You'll be getting one day earlier than me! :(

 

 

 

 

 

What games do you guys have for your Nintendo 3DS? And which is your favorite?

I only bought my 3DS for Zelda originally, tbh. I even have the Zelda edition one.

I've only played that and Kingdom Hearts on it. That's why I'm so excited for Animal Crossing, because it's a game that'll allow me to get a lot of use out of my 3DS.

Ahh I see xD Did you get Oracles of Season and Ages that was released last week? The limited Zelda Edition one is super nice, but I wish they released it for the 3DS XL as well :(

 

Are you looking forward to Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? And just letting you know that Majora's Mask is about 99% confirmed to be remade for the 3DS! You should try playing some of the other game titles on the 3DS. Seriously, the 3DS has the best game library available right now.

Just bought my 3DS XL this week for Animal Crossing, it came in the mail yesterday but Animal Crossing New Leaf and Luigi's Mansion 2 wont come until monday :[

 

Also you should add animal crossing to the 2nd poll

It hasn't been out long enough though ChYkN.. and I didn't really picture you as an Animal Crossing fan xD Luigi's Mansion 2 is one of the best titles on the 3DS right now (definitely in the Top 3).

I don't know if I really want to replay Majora's Mask, but the Oracles are my favorite Zelda games. I have to wait until tomorrow to buy anything because I don't get paid until then.

I'm not really a big gamer anymore. I was when I was a kid, but now I just play casually.

waiting for pokemon X and Y

You didn't enjoy Majora's Mask on the N64? I don't really remember the Oracles because I played them when I was really young, so I don't remember much at all. I just know that from what I've played and remember that Ocarina of Time is my favorite.

 

Aww well that's a shame seeing as Nintendo and Sony seems to be releasing so many good titles nowadays.

[Brown Bear]

waiting for pokemon X and Y

Aren't we all though?

I WANT A PINK 3DS ARGHHH

I WANT A PINK 3DS ARGHHH

The 3DS or the 3DS XL? I was playing with my friend's standards 3DS the other day.. and the screen was just so small.. After playing and owning the 3DS XL, I don't know how anyone could play on the standard one to be honest o_o

[ChYkN]

lol ok, and yessss I played the gamecube version, Wild World, and City Folk. I honestly bought the gamecube version as a joke because I thought it looked stupid as fuck but then it became one of my favorite game series

I've never played any of the Animal Crossing before, so I'm super excited for New Leaf! It looks so cute but fun at the same time xD How many 3DS games do you have?

It's not just a bigger screen though xD The 3DS XL's top screen is anti-glare so when you go out and play there's no reflection (which is what you would want with a portable console right?).

 

- Better Battery

- Bigger Screens

- Top screen is less reflective

- More comfortable

-  Hinge is more sturdier

- Matte finish prevents smudges

- The 3D slider now can be 'switced off' completely by pushing the slider down until it clicks.

- Pikachu 3DS XL.

I have the silver one xD It's great, but the Pure Black 3DS XL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

Yeah but my mom dont care lmao

Convince her that it's better for your health. (The 3D is better for your eyes on the 3DS XL and not to mention better for your hands (especially if you plan to play for a long period of time in one go).

 

I have the pink & white 3ds XL. I'll be buying animal crossing soon since it seems really popular.

I actually love the Pink & White one, but it was made exclusive for North America right? Are you purchases influenced by popularity and how well received a game is?
