Meh, sounds over-hyped to me like the DSi but I might be wrong. I want to see how it goes before getting it though. The only games I'd get from there are resident evil, the driving games & Mario Kart though lol.

riiiiiiiiidge racerrrrrrrrr

I doubt snake eater 3d will be released in that window, but out of the whole list its the only game I really want with some slight interest in splinter cell.

The 3DS looks to have some potential, i'd like to try it out a bit. Although i probably won't buy it.

What a RIP OFF!

BRING BACK R-TYPE FGS

But finally, we get something before the yanks.

I'm quite excited, myself.
To those on the fence, probably two years later there will be a probably redesign and new colors (like the DS Lite). It might be worth it to wait. However, I can't with the games coming out (ZELDA!).
