bought for $130 ($105 spent after a $25 gc), sold for $170, but anyway, you think I didn't look at the release list or think about it? We don't all have the same taste in games. I won't get SMTIV day 1 because i won't play it for a year.
yeah, 3DS has a very narrow appeal, but if you're into those games it should be awesome. It helps that these are genres that aren't well represented on consoles. It is more PSP than matching how great DS was, which is still pretty great in the end. I'm hoping some of PSPs later games get ported so there's more reason to bring them stateside; mainly Nayuta no Kiseki.
I'd like to get a 3DS XL one of these days. Not into jrpgs much anymore, but other games like luigi's mansion 2 looks great. Playing on my regular 3DS feels bad and I'm trusting shaka that the XL is a much better experience. It's down to price and color.
