Not if they have too many, then it's first come first serve. I had to wait 2 months even after preordering the Wii.


I think they learned their lesson at least GS did this time. I read somewhere when I preordered mine that they weren't going to let that happen this time. I noticed that the preorders were sold out a long time ago, to ensure those that preordered first before the sold out buttons online or in stores were there and so forth. Now they have a preorder "waiting list". So I'm sure this time around those who actually got the preorder will get theirs and not be disappointed.

You know, I never said what I actually preordered after I did so.

I took $160, preordered the Deluxe Wii U, NSMBU, ZombiU, Scribblenauts Unlimited, 007 Legends, and Rayman Legends all in one go.

Long story short, I need about $150-200 more before I can buy the thing at launch. xP

I think Best Buy cancelled my pre-order. It's no longer showing up in my orders tab. Excuse me while I go cry.

Well the Nintendo 3DXL is my first handheld console, I was bored out of my mind, as I had already sold my Xbox 360, and my PS3 got fried from a power surge, so didn't bother getting it repaired.

So I purchased the Nintendo 3DXL and it only confirms what I though, that handheld gaming is not my cup of tea. Maybe it's just the lack of games, so far I own New Super Mario Bros 2 and Mario Kart 7 on it, and bored with NSMB2 and Mario Kart 7 is okay, but I'm bored with the levels.

Anyone have any predictions in any good games that are out for the 3DS?

This is your first handheld? Really?

Maybe your problem is that you're playing only Mario titles. @_@ *doesn't really like Mario* You should try some other series too.

Maybe I can list some games that aren't too niche (like Art Acadamy or Colors 3D)

3DS:
  • Kid Icarus: Uprising
  • Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
  • Bit.Trip Saga
  • Nano Assault (This should be really cheap, but it's a very good game)

eShop titles:
  • Pushmo
  • Dillon's Rolling Western
  • The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave
  • Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive! (Although a Deluxe is coming out...)


Check out more here. Since you know what you like. xD

As for future releases...
  • Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
  • Paper Mario: Sticker Star
  • Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion
  • Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
  • Animal Crossing
  • Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
  • Obligatory Pokemon
