Had the 3DS on preorder for half a year before release, but decided to cancel it at the last minute due to the shitty launch lineup. I'll wait for a price drop.
Very happy I picked this thing up, I'm really digging SSF4 and Pilotwings. I dont always play with the 3d on, normally if I'm at home and in a chair is the only time.
Went to steak n shake with the wife last night, was using the 3d camera to take some shots of stuff on the table and the ar cards very cool. The straw in my shake looked like it was popping out of the screen into your face. I also made it look like link was gonna attack her ds she was playing lol...
SSF4 is so good, I dont really care about the minor flaws like no animated backgrounds and a little less detail, this game plays DAMN GOOD for a portable copy. By far the best portable fighter I have ever played. I normally turn the 3D off in the option of the game, it will switch it to having 60 FPS.

I got it with SSF4, and I am loving it so far. Controls took me some time to get used to but I think I finallly did, gameplay is great which for me was the deal maker / breaker, graphics look really good too, kina like a cleaner PSP (ie non pixelated textures).
Also, heas up if you are a SSF4 user and don't care much for the 3d effect. If you turn off the 3d from the in game options (not just the slider) you will get the game running at full 60 fps.
EDIT
Didn't notice user above gave the same recommendation earlier, oops.

Continuing to get my pedometer-walkon here on day one here at work. Without looking at the statistic menu, just the main menu, 4035 steps...10 coins. Looks as though the Big N doesn't want folks to gank the street pass coin system and have capped earnable coins per day at 10. I'm going to continue to get my walkon regardless.

i had no idea about that coin thing
i think it's pretty cool
not that i'd ever make use of it since i'd never keep it on my person but it's an interesting concept nonetheless

if they make some kind of armband attachment i'd totally wear it for runs/jump rope sessions
that is if the coins are actually useful for something

Straight away, the coins are used to unlock pieces for a slide-puzzle meta game within the Street Pass system. Supposedly, the coins can also be used in other retail games outside of Street Pass system to "purchase" unlockable content. But since I don't have any games for the 3DS I can't confirm this. There may be other uses for the coins that I'm unaware of as well.

Did anyone at all get Madden? I passed on it, initially, since it sounds like it's stripped down to the very minimum barebones, but I admit that I am kind of curious to see how it looks, and I usually only play one-offs in Madden anyway.
I picked mine up yesterday with, lessee...
Pilotwings, Streetfighter, Samurai Warriors, Ridge Racer, Pro Evolution Soccer, Puzzle Bobble, Steel Diver, Rayman 3D, and Ghost Recon. I haven't played everything yet, but of the ones I've had a chance to play, I'd say that Ridge Racer uses 3D the best (and also will make you the sickest if you don't find the optimal viewing angle), Pilotwings is probably the easiest to just sit back and enjoy, and Rayman and Samurai Warriors both benefit nicely from the move to 3D, but without any fundamental change to the gameplay. Puzzle Bobble, in particular, doesn't really get any benefit at all from being on the system, but it's still fun and it's $10 cheaper than the other launch titles.
Fun little system so far, definitely enjoying it.

just wait for the 3DSiXL it'll come after the 3DSlite and the 3DSi.
Mia and I went back with the Wii, traded it and the few games we had in.
My friend works there, so I got the promotion they were giving on whatever.
Ended with like $200 in credit, so it softened the blow - she likes it.
Never played the Wii so it was a good choice.

The coins can also be used in SSF4 to get extra points to buy more figures. I have been saving mine up though since its easy to earn points just by arcade fights.
I kinda like the cap, it will give me something to do for months unlocking all the ar and puzzle content. Good move Nintendo.

Why the hell would they drop price just because your too cheap to buy it? Most preordered console ever... Shits out less then a week... Price drop? lol....
