Unless you're a stickler for more of the same kinds of first-party games that we've been getting for a while, I'd hold off on a 3DS, given how little promise it holds for the future after this E3 and its current lack of third party support. It seems a lot of people disagree with me, but I'm having a very hard time trying to justify my purchase as anything more than a prettier DSi.

I only bought my 3DS XL for Pokémon X & Y. I've never owned a DS before so I assumed there'd be enough DS games in the back catalogue to keep me occupied until those games were released but there is surprisingly little I care about.

I mean I love RPGs but that isn't really all I want to play and other than various forms of RPG there is...Advance Wars?

Currently playing Animal Crossing New Leaf

Me too, just finished building a street lamp.

Star Ocean 4: Final area of the game, but so much still to do...

So, you just let them throw him in?

Also, be careful. It's really easy to mess up and get the good ending instead of the true ending.

Well, I've already decided to get a 3DS for Pokémon X and Y. Pokémon has always been the singular reason to get Nintendo handhelds for me.

Now the remaining question is whether I should get it earlier to play Animal Crossing or wait until October for Pokémon.

You've got to play Animal Crossing.

The 3DS XL is a tad bit pricy, isn't it? Any chances of a slight price drop?

So all of this talk about justifying my 3DS got me to buy Dream Drop Distance today. I've never fully played a Kingdom Hearts game, but it has TWEWY characters and the demo was fun, so let's see how this goes.

No no, I'm not that terrible. I got the good/neutral ending (left Namatame for the police but didn't catch Adachi). But I did realize that I saved right before that scene, so I can still do the true ending. I'll do that before Arena comes in the mail.
