I'm dying to see a 3DS first hand. The idea of real 3D is really tempting.

I wonder which game will give you a headache quicker, my moneys on Street Fighter

I'm not a console or handheld gamer, but aren't most of those games listed quite old?

What do you name a handheld that costs as much as 3 Nintendo DS and only has rehashes?

Disappointing line-up you have there, this is Nintendo not having a Mario game on day one to me is kinda a failure.

Quite old? Starfox 64 was released in 1997 and Another Bloody Zelda : Ocarina of time was released in 1998. Quite old is quite the understatement. Might as well just call this the 3D retro gaming release..
