Nintendogs+cats for sure, possibly Steel diver or the Sims 3
I was going to buy a 3DS at launch however, the release window looks like crap for the most part. I'd play SSFIV and that's probably it. No Zelda or Paper Mario?! Those should be there day one. I would have bought one if they didn't delay the 3DS shop feature till May. That would have been cool to get my nostalgia gaming on.
But nope, not gonna happen. I feel that Nintendo should have waited till E3 and launched it that week, much like the 360 slim going on sale during last week's E3. That way, the online shop would be ready and there'd be plenty more games for release. But the system will probably sell like hot cakes. Worst launch for such a cool system. Kinda like the Gamecube launch.
@Lance Except for that the 3DS can download updates, something the GC could not. And I'm pretty sure the Shop is ready, they just might not have enough ports ready for download to open it yet.
I definitely am going to get SSF4 because I think it would take some time to play and master, while also having a good multiplayer function with friends. But I don't like how it's not really using the 3d that well and so I was thinking of also getting either pilotwings or steeldiver, because they both look great. Any help???
@Nathy Wanty
I think Pilotwings and Steel Diver are both very safe bets since theyre both first party Nintendo titles. I am going to get both of those and then either Rayman 3D or Ridge Racer
SF4, and maybe steel diver. samurai warriors also if my boy gets it too for the coop.
I really don't know yet. Right now I'm more excited about the third party launch titles, that's for sure. I'd also like to know what 3D movies will be available at launch, or at least the launch window.
Honestly, just like the DSi, I'll probably spend the first week just messing with the system features. In this case it will be the AR cards, pre installed software, and taking 3D pictures of everything. I don't think the game slot will get used until April.
Sf4, but I am still considering to postpone my buy of 3ds until ngp comes out…
I think 3ds has very weak launch games….only if there was ace attorney vs prof Layton, I would buy it in an instant!!
Pilot wings, lego star wars (would buy steel diver, but it's not out at launch in UK)
I'm not sure! I'm waiting for the reviews… In fact, I will be waiting for their prices to come down and the 3DS library to get bigger, since I am not buying my 3DS until the Holidays.
Pilotwings all the way! The SNES and N64 games are two of my all time favourites. I'd probably buy a 3DS even if that was the only game for it – that's how much I love the Pilotwings!
Nintendogs + Cats for the win! I am gonna love that game, it was like the best rated so far, anyhow.
STAR FOX!! STAR FOX!! STAR FOX!!
There are good games's on lunch but not good enough still waiting for OOT3D
Weirdly enough, likely none of them. Just because the launch line up has none of the games that actually interest me, so I'll be waiting until Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart and Paper Mario (or at least one of them) is out first.
