 DIdn't want to start a new thread just for the game, and with just mine being the only comment

But if you have a 3DS, you HAVE to get Super Mario 3D Land... Could well be my game of the year!!

Short and sweet pick up and play levels, perfect for a handheld, but getting all the star medals is a challenge and the game is actually twice the game you think it is! The 3D is by far the best used on the 3DS, the game is actually harder in 2D mode, the 3D really makes jumping and judging distances far easier, and some levels really use the effect superbly and show the true potential of what 3D can bring. There are so many genius moments throughout the game as well, Nintendo at it's best!

Mario Kart 7 next week

I'm quite tempted by the Zelda 3DS and Super Mario Land but I don't know why.

 I am considering picking one up, seeing as after Christmas there's usually no new games coming out till March/April time it'd be the perfect time to save up for one.

 I'm getting one for Xmas with Ocarina of Time. Will eventually pick Mario 3D Land too. Have been given a copy of Hollywood Crimes to review. Will probably be arse but looks like a nice little puzzler to pass the time.

 So anyone who's read the What Santa Brought Me or Latest Game I Bought thread will now know, I had no reason to save for one, Mrs Me bought the Zelda Anniversary edition for Christmas, quite simply put, Best. Present. Ever.

Only downside? I gpt her one of the Blue Limited Edition Wii's for Christmas, and she can send her Mii to my 3DS but we can't do it vice-versa, for shame Nintendo, for shame!

 I'm dead impressed with the 3DS. Ocarina of Time has never been better. Improved graphics, frame rate and stunning 3D. The kids both have one too, with Mario Kart 7 and Mario Land 3D. Kart is superb as you'd expect with some cracking courses and some updates of older ones. Mario Land, whilst keeping with the 3D gameplay we've seen since 64, there's just something missing. I don't know if it's the levels being surprisingly short or the fact that it's just the same thing over again. It's still decent, mind, I just don't seem to be enjoying it as muh as I've come to expect from a Mario game. The 3D isn't that great either, which is surprising given how much depth Zelda and Mario Kart 7 have.

I've also got Hollywood Crimes which was sent to me before xmas to review. It's still in its wrapper though. Can't be arsed at the minute.

 Been playing a fair bit of Mario Land 3D again. I still think some of the levels are too short, but it's still good fun. I reckon New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be better though. That's not too far away. It's out this summer.

 So, what's the current judgement on the 3DS - has it still got legs, has the games catalogue improved? I'm currently saving hard for my wife's 30th birthday present (iPad) and I'm considering aaccidentally-on-purpose saving up more than I need and treating myself to something at the same time! Might be a tall order but I'm thinking trading in my trusty DS Lite for a 3DS could be an option (indeed, even if I do it later in the year)....

Personally, I think it's a worthy successor, with the games I've played so far all being pretty much awesome. The upgrade on Ocarina of Time is astonishing. Naturally Mario Kart 7 and Mario Land 3D are proper good fun, too. The catalogue is still relatively small in terms of decent titles, but given it's backwards compatibility, it's definitely worth it.

Still want to pick up Starfox and Resident Evil Revelations.

Sounds promising! You're right, the backwards compatability means that any other games are a bonus really, so as long as there's enough to make use of the upgraded hardware it should be cool. If I can get it somewhere nearer the £100 mark with a trade in, and I have the cash, I may go for it.

One thing just occurred, can you play a wifi link up between a DS lite and a 3DS?

How is everyone else getting on with their 3DS? I've been playing mine a bit really, getting all the stars in the excellent, Mario 3DS land. I'm going to play Mario Kart 7 in a bit as I haven't in a while.

Any other must have games?

 Mine's been turned off for about 3-4 months now, need to get back into playing it, need to get some games recommendations other than Mario games.

 I've bought the lad a 3DS XL for his birthday which he'll love. Came with a free Mario 3D land download as well which was nice.....

I think one of the things that put me off of my 3DS is the fact they released the XL version less than a year after I bought my version which was out of order. Made me feel like I no longer had the shiny toy. There are some great games built into the console too, so I'm sure your son will love his present.

 As much as my previous post said no Mario games, I've got Luigis Mansion 2 pre-ordered, if I have enough cash in a couple of weeks will pick up Paper Mario and Super Smash Bros is getting me a bit excited

I WANT FIRE EMBLEM.

Monster Hunter 3 is tempting.

One or two other games looking interesting.

If I could actually get a seat on the train I may get one down the line. Or I just boot up Advance wars DS and play that for a few more hours ... to be fair if another Advance wars comes out ... that will be me.

 Ages after last thinking about it, I think I'm going to get a 3DS at the weekend. Combination of no council tax this month and a sense of 'one last hurrah' spending wise before my baby arrives in the next few weeks.

Got about £60 worth of stuff I can trade in at Game (including my DS Lite), so should bring the cost of a 'console and game' bundle very close to the £100 mark!

 Has to be said I am loving Theatrhythm at the minute, so much so that Luigis Mansion hasnt been touched yet.

 Luigi's Mansion 2 is a gem of a little game... there might not be the biggest library on the 3DS, but there is some real quality.

So much personality in this game, and loads of little genius touches... it needs to be played rather than spoiled in some revealing post. If you've got a 3DS, you really should be getting down with Luigi for some ghost hunting!

Gonna start playing it today I think, the wife has been eyeing it up since I came home with it, if I leave it much longer she'll start playing it herself and I won't see it for months!
