I love my 3DS. I'm not upset about the price cut, and I'm stoked about the free games.
I've come to expect that the only good thing that Nintendo systems these days can consistently produce is old, and old feeling first party games. I bought the Wii for NSMB Wii, and I bought the 3DS for Mario 3D. I expect nothing more from Nintendo than the same old [good] shit.
Don't expect much else: 3rd party support has been tenuous at best since the Gamecube.

I'm not totally satisfied. I could have easily waited 4 months to play OoT 3D if I would have known it would save me $80.
the fact that people can buy the system before aug. 12th at the price cut and still get their free 20 games makes being an ambassador pointless. so yeah, how can you not regret it? i'd rather be one of those people getting a system on aug. 9th-12th.
I bought one today at Best Buy. Go 30 day price adjustments when stuff goes on sale! Good thing I didn't buy Nintendo stock last year though....maybe I should buy now.
Perception is reality. The average accepted perception is always going to be half-tard in nature. Many said that the Gamecube was a piece of shit and a failure, yet it made money and delivered amazing games to those that cared to overcome peer pressure and ignorance. The Wii is a fantastic console once you learn how to wade through all the shit that appears on any big selling machine (iOS, PS2, hello).
There is no surprise here. I am merely pointing things out. What I would be surprised by is if gamers and journalist began acting in a way that was thoughtful, insightful & had a sense of camaraderie.
Since when did people focus so much on the flaws & differences between games/consoles/companies, and focus on the fact that WE are all engaged in an activity that we enjoy and therefore should look for what is GOOD about it all.
There are no end to the haters that will judge the 3DS with absolutely no investigation. It actually takes your ego to step aside to give things a fair shake. Nobody has learned that skill, it seems. Believe it or not, the most important thing in the universe is not whether or not you are 100% satisfied at all times.
What is even more annoying is that most of you don't even know WHY you have the habits and states of mind that you do. You have no idea why you can't hold a thought, create anything from scratch, or discover the joy in anything. Maybe you should find out why you are so fucked up and put some energy in THAT, instead of constantly beating the drum of negativity over VIDEO GAMES.
Just an idea.
oh wait, nevermind...its easier to jumped online and say "DEEEEER DAT NINTENSUCK 3DS is STOOPID!!!"

bunch of pansies I don't regret it one bit I knew what I was getting into and I ended up loving it anyway just waiting for some more good titles.

Normally I think you're kind of a prick (or at least that's my perception) but I 110% back your last statement. Good show sir.

Agreed. But you forgetting this is Dtoid which is the place where Jim Sterling and his minions bitch about anything.

Puzzle Games, Visual Novel type games (Ghost Trick, etc), Fine action games, Great adventure games, awesome and unique Nintendo first party games

Console Ports that don't really meet the original games greatness
Yeah, I think after my 3 PSPs and only about 4 games that I actually like, I'll not be buying a PSV
Spent so much money on promising PSP games, and now that I'm playing through old DS games that I've been recomended, I can't tell you enough times how much I hate my PSP. That fucking thing distracted me from so many great games on the DS...

@trueb7ue: The term is not interchangeable unless you're one of those tards who think all white people have it made and live a glorious life. Semantics I know, but still a retarded statement.
@usedtabe
As a person of the caucasian persuasion, I know not all of my brothers and sisters have made it to the glorious life as I am one of them. It is a term used commonly in humor, as was my statement, and only a "tard" would be offended by it. Once again, thank you for making one sentence worth all this trouble.

(apologies for double posting)
Also I'm not sure I should be having an argument about semantics with someone who throws around a word like retard so loosely. some find that tetm and your usage offensive. Just sayin'.

The only thing I regret is that Nintendo couldn't figure out how to make the 3ds close without damaging the screen over time.
It would have been a day one purchase, but the battery life is shite, it was overpriced, and there was no eShop yet (and when it finally DID come out, it turned out to be garbage).
I'm not going to say the launch lineup was terrible,but the prospects weren't as bright as they were when I bought my DS. I'll give it a year or two, when there's plenty of good titles out for it (a new Wars game, perhaps?) that aren't fucking ports of 20 year old games I could play on an emulator.

The dissatisfaction rates are probably identical in every game system a few months from their launch.
Outside of the kitsch value of games like Blue Stinger and Expendable, in retrospect, there wasn't much(okay, Soul Calibur and PowerStone were really something) that made being an early adopter of the Dreamcast worthwhile, either, not that the warmed over Xbox rehashes in the Xbox 360 launch line-up or the slightly less than nothing(Lair and Genji:Days of the Blade might as well be nothing to someone who wanted experiences surpassing what they could get from their PS2 at the time) that came out for the PS3 at launch time was any better.
With their much heftier price-tags(except for the $199.99 Dreamcast), there was likely a lot more buyer's remorse back then.

Pretty much spot on what I think. It's all hype, all of it. No matter how good the Vita can be, it will not be the blowjob machine that people are making it out to be right this second.

The Vita will deliver, not all hype, because if this thing really can get near ps3 graphics with dual analogs, that means I can play Killzone multiplayer anywhere with someone else, or play a real GTA port on a handheld, that is awesome.
@BestUsernameEver
Right, but again, that's potential. You could have a marvels that surpasses the PS3's horsepower, but if the games weren't all that great or were lacking in quantity, then what?
I think this is why launch line-ups are anaemic though, consoles sell on hype alone so you can hold back your big guns to get a second wave of hype.
I'll be honest with you though, if this launches in the same period as the 3DS did, I'd be expecting lower than expected sales for this too no matter what the line-up just because of the state of the world right now.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Japanese consumers regretting their purchase because Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled. :/
Here's a fun fact: the 3DS plays the dozens of DS games you never finished or purchased. Yeah, no kidding!
Also, the Circle Pad is operational for these games, so when playing The Legendary Starfy on the 3DS, I find the controls WAY better and smoother, so there's that....
Point is, the complaints about "no games" is bogus...games are here and awesome games are coming. It's shocking!

@BrainWasherAttendant:
Well said. Very well said.
I couldn't give a flying fuck what console is what. As long as it gives me a rule of thumb of 6 or so exclusive games, it's worth buying (and that's why I have over 70 working systems).
I hate this stupid fanboyistic nail-your-flag-to-one-system-as-if-it-were-marriage, and all other devices are shit. It's moronic.
We should rightly be a community. Heaven knows, if we stuck together more and embraced or diversities, we might be able to have some strength to stop some of the dubious business practices that some have to suffer.
It's small wonder gaming still gets the impression of being a kid's occupation to some.
