I have a DSi XL and I love it but I want to be able to play all the new games that are only coming out on 3DS. Is the 3DS worth it? Will I love it as much as my XL? I've googled and watched YouTube vids but I'm still not sure.

I'd wait for the inevitable redesign if I was on the fence.
Man, I had forgotten how much fun Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is... and how insane the second last stage (when the Abomination is heading from the military base to the dam) is.
Not my game play but this will give you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=propp...eature=related
Don't overlook Gamecube games - Wii consoles can run them, but you need a Gamecube controller and a memory card.Quote:

I have Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Minority Report (IMO vastly under-rated), Star Wars Rebel Strike and Squadron, an XMen one that looks like the precursor to Ultimate Alliance, Turok and Enter the Matrix.
I was waiting for the battery upgrade, but the sub $200 price was the breaking point.Quote:

The inbuilt games and functionality on the 3DS alone nearly make it worthwhile for under $200. If there isnt a title you are dead set on playing right now (like the mario games or resident evil) I'd hold out and see if there is an upgrade/tweak announced around E3 that makes it more worthwhile to you.
I put one on layby today for $199 so I can think about it. I'm still torn. I really want to play Zelda and the new Mario titles.
Personally I'd hold out for the redesign.
I reckon it'll be more than worth the wait.
If it comes soon, but the original DS took 2 years before they announced their first rejig of the system, and it was another couple of months before release.Quote:

Part of me wants to wait but a bigger, stronger part wants it now! Lol. I want it before I go to Adelaide for Oz Comic Con for some in car entertainment for the 4 hour journey. I did some googling and a lot of people seem skeptical of the redesign. Wouldn't Nintendo focus on the new wii for 2012?
I had that on my PS2, it's an awesoem game! I cranked so many hours on it!:D So much fun, so many moves, so much destruction! I wish there was a nicer looking version for my PS3, but had to settle with the movie game, which is ok and along the same lines as UD, but not as well refined. I just loved the being in the midst of a battle with a bunch of Hulk Buster 'bots and as you're smakcing dudes about, a building next to you would start to crumble and fall! BRILLIANT!Quote:

One of my fave things to do was to avoid missions, annoy the populace just enough to get the cops out, grab one and go jumping around the city listening to the man scream his head off as I jumped from roof top to roof top. Aaaaa, good times, good times...
