So far I have resisted upgrading my broken launch 3DS.

I can no longer resist.

Anyone know if it will be possible to transfer games you already own?

Yes, there is a system transfer function that completely transfers all you games, saves, photos and other data from one 3DS to another.

I think most talk about how it didn't have games like Pikmin, Donkey Kong, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Metroid, Zelda at launch. I mean I personally didn't care, I thought it had a pretty good launch games to get you started, most launch titles arn't that great for any system, though Wii did really good. We did get a few meh ports, but if done right was a stepping stone for more titles to follow, sadly that didn't happen. People just had high expectations and they would not work with Nintendo's dev cycle.

Yeah. I suppose if you look at it from that angle... 

Still 3 million is pretty good.

And Nintendoland and NSMBU and ZombiU were enough to tide me over for awhile.

Well. I'm upset.

There's a slight chance it could still make it to Australia though. Doubt it, but one can always hope. Looks like I'll be getting LittleBigPlanet 3 for Christmas instead.

You're right, didn't realize launch was that successful.

Thanks. It's a pet peeve of mine when people say that the Wii U had a horrible launch and was slow from the start. I agree with everything else in your posts though.

I don't think anyone in this thread would deny the Wii U launch was not successful. 

I'll deny that quite happily. I'd say the Wii U had a nice launch. It arrived in November and by December it had already sold 3 million units (Excuse the use of IGN, it was the first thing I could find). 3 million in two months is solid, at least in my opinion.

It was the period after launch - you know, most of 2013, that killed the Wii U's momentum. That was where things went wrong.
