I like the aqua one best. Can't really afford a handheld right now though, and a new model might be on it's way before too long. Ideally I'd like to see them drop the second screen in favor of a bigger, better quality 3D one (few games make good use of both screens anyway), and add that much needed 2nd analogue pad. A bigger battery is also a must - much preferable to an anorexic device in my book.

You uncultured swine! Purple is friggin awesome sauce! Im obviously defending its honor because I preordered one
It does need a 2nd analog stick for sure, but they sell a $20 attachment (maybe less cant remember) that fixes that problem well enough. But personally I dont see why they would ditch the touch screen, its not Nintendos fault many game developers dont use the touch screen better, because the games that DO use it well, its fantastic.
Nice to see some love for the 3DS, KC.
My aqua blue one is just lovely.

Personally I think Nintendo is on the verge of taking the reigns back here in the yearish. People now know what the XBOX 720 is going to be coming out with, and sadly for the fanbois, the WiiU will be MORE then capable of handling the 720. I watched a video where a guy was comparing the specs of the 720 and the WiiU, and there are parts where the WiiU is better, and the rest they are very similar. So yea, as far as XBOX goes, Im not worried at all, its also been leaked that the price point for the WiiU will most likely be the $300 area, as some survey company leaked its survey (which was supposed to be kept in a control group) asking if you were to buy a WiiU would $300 be too much? So a good price, good stats, not to mention the fact that the 3DS will be able to link to it and the 2 do all kinds of neat magical things. Im pretty excited.
But yes, the 3DS is a lovely system, with a world of potential on its shoulders still. 7 days and its mine!
The only real thing that let the Wii and DS down in my opinion was the shovelware. Added too much in between decent games and caused the system to look poorer for it; more so in the case of the Wii.
Agreed. Far, far too much of it.
Is there any quality control at all?

Well TBH, shovelware is really on EVERY system. The real problem was, the Wii and the DS/3DS systems are not only easier to make games on, but also, they were seen as systems for kids. Thats the main problem.

Project Sora(The guys that made Kid Icarus Uprising) Are also working on Super Smash Bros for Both 3ds and WiiU.
I've been rocking the Zelda 3ds, but I bought the original Black one when it came out and did a system transfer so I could get the Ambassador stuff on the Zelda 3DS

Going to wait this year for the possible dual analog module that was leaked. I am AMPING for the new Pokemon games!! I hope they change ALot in terms of how you play, not just non sprite graphics
Yea, Ive enjoyed Pokemon games for years, but I agree, they need to SERIOUSLY step it up a bit in all departments. They have the capabilities of make the games better AND many times better graphically, but 2 or 3 entire games have come and gone and looked almost the same graphically. Im not one of those guys that NEEDS graphics to enjoy a game by any stretch, I still play my NES FFS, but Im getting annoyed that the Pokemon games STILL look like they did on the advanced

I actually enjoyed it a bit more on the Wii with its controls than on the Gamecube. Just felt like it worked for the game for once instead of against it like usual.
My problem is I'll get super Comp into Pokemon and Literally spend every waking moment Working on EV training and IV Breeding, just to have half my team banned by Smogon right as I get them to 100.

There are many things wrong with the 5gen but agreed they at least got these guys right. I watch the Pokemon movie that had Zoroark my little bro recorded it on DTSV and I like Zoroark alot after that.
my rating out of 10:
1st gen: 10/10
2nd gen: 9/10
3rd gen: 7/10
4th gen: 6.5/10
5th gen: 3
As long as I got a Geodude, I never really cared about the rest. Id mate him with some flying type, and then earthquake entire teams into submission lol

I ran theme parties, mostly every Pokemon was water type. Whatever the ability that turned damage from a water attack into HP was nice, use surf to heal.
I use a Ludicolo Party:
Rain Dish
Leech Seed
Leftovers
Rain Dance
Giga Drain
Surf/Ice Beam
Enjoy trying to hurt me, I get huge amounts of health back every turn.

Rayman Origins will be released on the 3DS June 5th this year(from what I found anyways). Pretty excited by this, the pics Ive seen so far look pretty nice TBH
Kindda reminds me of Dragon Lair 2 as far as art goes.

Subject: Re:3DS/Nintendo News. Ubisoft makes HUGE announcement for next gen consoles
OK well Ubisoft announced that they will have free to play on all next gen consoles. Not too much news after that, but some guesses are for example, Ghost Recon online.

Subject: 3DS/Nintendo News. Ubisoft makes big announcement for next gen consoles
Yea, when I first heard about it, it was just free to play, and that was it. So instantly my mind started swirling with "Free to play...flash style games?!" But then I heard free to play online. Which is still pretty cool in my book. As long as they keep a better eye on their servers then PSN with their free to play. Talk about a fething nightmare. I just LOVED playing free online games, only to rage quick from all the fething hacking going on. Christ, can people NOT play games these days without cheating?! I remember when you fething HAD to be good at the games you played....now its just "Oh here upload this software and you wont ever die!"
Still, Id imagine if Nintendo has anything to do with it, they will be a bit stricter with those things

Purple 3DS is officially released today. I say it that way, because apparently some Walmarts think street dates are stupid and have been selling them since a week ago.
Anywho, maybe Ill post some pics here when I get it.
