I’m only buying it if the the 3D is in all red, and the graphics are wire frame. VB was, like badass… wait, no, it was like bad-ACID.

If the 3D is even close to decent this will be full of win, but likely too expensive for me to justify.

My god. Imagine if the 3DS had Gamecube graphics. Gamecube graphics on a handheld? That’d be amazing. Imagine Pokemon on the 3DS. I personally don’t care about the “3D”, if it has Gamecube graphics, motion controls, and an analog, that’s enough for me to buy it the day it comes out.

I want some classic GBA games in 3d.
I will NEVER give up my DSlite.

Man, I feel stupid. It said right up top that the 3DS would be backwards compatible.

There’s naturally some bad apples in the bunch, Yonathin, it’s all a matter of how close to home that happens to hit. I remember back when I would have loved to work at Gamestop/EB Games, then I heard all the horror stories of not just working there, but the system they run, and so /I/ ran, as far away as possible.

Anyway, I don’t really intend to get the Nintendo 3DS, simply for the fact that I have no problems with my current DS Lite. Unless something mind-blowing comes out on the 3DS, I don’t see myself picking one up. I feel like they only JUST came out with the DSi, and now they want me to pick up this new one?

No thanks. It’s not a lack of interest, it’s a lack of wanting to shell out the money.

Actually, my local GameStop is really nice. I don’t understand the horror stories about them. But after reading your blog, I know that GameStop horrors do exist. I’ve just never witnessed them personally.

As much as I hate to refer you to GameStop, you might be able to find one of the nice backlit GBA SPs there for under $30.

Eh, I’m fine with that amount of BC. I’ll just have to keep my DS Lite.I’ll have no other way of playing my GBA games otherwise.

Hex, the Virtual Boy was a RARE miss from Nintendo. Oddly enough, that’s the only video game system my dad ever wanted for himself.

Yonathin, it’ll play DS and DSi games, but not GBA games unfortunately.
