Steel Diver is OK, but when the best game is a submarine game, something is f*cking messed up.

A Nintendo franchise game should be one of the top games.   Except, oh yeah, THERE WERENT ANY LAUNCH ONES.

Ok I finally have mine.  I put 3-4 hours into pilotwings I like it, but it's not like it is a revolutionary departure from the SNES one or the N64 one so if you've played those just think of this a new missions, but the same philosophy.

We have already established that the launch line up is mediocre and everyone is pretty much just picking up the niche games that appeal to them at this point.  (I did also pick up GR: Shadow Wars, but have yet to play it.)

I can't comment on the battery life as mine has always been plugged in. One thing I do want to emphasis, and I think Arkhan  pointed this out earlier in the thread, but I couldn't find it at a glance. 

There is a big emphasis on holding the system right to the point that you could be playing a game and you shift you wrist and then all of a sudden you are seeing double objects on the screen or burred vision, then you are shifting back and forth trying to get the picture to come in properly and not focusing on the game.

It is not a deal breaker by any means I'm excited to see what direction they go in terms of software, but the screen going into double vision at an inopportune time is going to frustrate a lot of people.  I would hope it wouldn't be a problem once you got used to it, but who knows.

one thing I noticed is certain games have certain 3D slider sweet spots where the blurring doesnt happen as much.

Thats annoying.

I can't seem to do full 3D.  I usually keep the slider at half way.  I must have pansy eyes.

I know it is a gimmick that would wear thin quickly, but those card games that come w/ the system are amazing in terms of showing off what the system is capable of.

I set it up on the counter at work and you could see the 3D image in front of the keyboard and other stuff that was on the counter, it was pretty neat.

Yeah, but they had crap like that with webcams and advertising years ago.  I remember having one where you print the piece of paper and hold it up and trees and shit pop up off the paper and dance around.

and this was at least 5 years ago.

So, im not really impressed yet lol.

I have never seen what you are talking about and I am totally impressed.  It seems like a wonderful drug trip w/out the threat of being fired.

On a serious note if anyone is looking to pick up some games.

Two for $50, Street Fighter and Steel Diver aren't on there, but I returned my Ghost Recon to best buy and picked it up on amazon along w/ Ridge Racer.

Including the $25 promotion for buying the system i have paid about $22 per game for the 3 games I own.

Iv been playing my for a while and only street fighter is doing it for me even thats a little lacking.  Some games i just can not see the 3d at all like in rayman.  3ds by far has a real lame launch.  When it comes to ports of n64 meh they port games all the time so its nothing new and they do help sell systems. Also what can i say im sucker for zelda games.

Maybe this will be the first time Nintendo doesn't automatically win because nintendo.

yes, that's never happened before... except for the virtual boy. and the n64. and the gamecube.

The virtual boy doesn't exist, and the N64 and Gamecube were successful despite sucking from what I remember.

My entire school was touching themselves when 007 and OOT came out

holy shit.

hoooooooooooly

OOT = 007 in 1337

what the f*ck.

Held one in hand yesterday, played for a bit at the store.  I dont like it.  Not impressed at all.  For the money, the DSiXL is the handheld unit for me.  If I want more depth than that, I will just look away from the DS....

Very little lag online and it is a lot of fun.  Just know what you are getting into, the game plays considerably different with one-button special moves.
