If you haven’t picked up a DSi, and or Mario and Luigi; this might be the perfect time too. Especially if you don’t want to lug around the the bulky and bigger DSi XL. Starting April 25, a white versions of the Nintendo DSi will be sold at certain stores for the price of $169.99.
While most of you probably have a DS/DSlite and are on the fence about upgrading to a DSi; let me just say, Bowser’s Inside Story is one of the better Mario and Luigi game titles out there. It seems like a pretty good bundle for a limited edition color as well.
Yet, seriously, how many of you guys are going to wait for the Nintendo 3ds? Do you think Nintendo shot themselves in the foot for announcing it way earlier than they should have?
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
yes. I'm waiting for the 3ds
Yes. I think sales will decrease due to announcing it way earlier than they should have
Yes, I do think they shot themselves in the foot, but it was probably to avoid the Japanese Media from shooting them 3 times in the head.
I'm sort of annoyed at Nintendo at the moment. I got the DSi after the hinge on my DS Lite imploded. I loved my DS Lite. I miss the GBA slot and I am greatly disappointed in each the 3 DSiWare games I've purchased.
That aside, I am starting to feel the smallness of the DS and was seriously considering the XL.
(I mostly play the DS at home in bed. I use my iPod for gaming on the go.) Then they went and announced the 3ds. THEN, I read that the DSi XL has the same resolution as the DSi so, *sigh*.
Still playing on my DSphat, and it still works alright (needs a new battery, but that's kinda cheap compared to a new DS altogether). So yeah, I'm definitely waiting for the 3DS.
You know… i had never intended to buy a DS. Then they announced the 3DS, and within a week i had purchaed a DSi XL and 4 games. So… it's hard to say that they shot themselves in the foot.
Or i'm just really impulsive and i read a great review for a DS game and immediately went and purchased 300 dollars in software+hardware.
I already paid Nintendo twice with the DS (phat and lite) and I wouldn't buy a third one anyway so, yes I'm waiting (somewhat sceptically) for the 3DS.
But I just want to point out one little thing: If any of you didn't buy out Mario&Luigi: B'sIS go get it now… It's awesome!
Damn what a good deal, but I have both already.
the 3ds is worth waiting 4. and i still have alot of other stuff to do before graduating. so i think i'll lay off the games until i graduate. and by the time i'm done first year university (they say its the hardest year), the 3ds is going to be out and what a coincidence, i can have the whole summer to play with it.
That's a very nice offer. I'd buy it if I didn't have already my DSi and my Mario & Luigi.
About M & L, it's a good game, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary. It's just "more of the same" (which, talking about M&L, isn't a bad thing).
that sucks i wanted to upgrade and just bought/almost beat bowser's inside story (great game by the way). now i'm considering the dsi xl since i've got the game and the bigger screens would rock, but with the 3ds on its way i'm stuck weighing my options….
honestly no they didnt. I dont think that many people have even heard of the 3DS unless they actually follow gaming news. we are the minority when i comes to the overall market so dsi's are still gonna sell just fine.
