I've listening to a few podcasts that basically said "There are only two games worth playing" Zelda OoT and Super Mario 3D Land. The likelihood that they visited all the games in the OP is quite slim. In any case, I won't be getting the 3DS yet. (Vita has my heart, and will for another year.)

the only thing actually keeping me away from nintendo 3ds is a possible hardware remake...

Mass Attack is a boring throwaway game without the Kirby charm at all. I've never hated a Kirby game until I got Mass Attack. BLECH!
Yeah I try not to buy every game at launch unless there is some incentive or it's a big Nintendo game. I already own everything Nintendo released for 3DS in the US so far...and next will be Mario Kart 7

Picked up Shinobi, and it's surprisingly fun. It reminds me a bit of Ninja Five-O, which is a very good thing. Brutally hard.
I'm really wanting Ace Combat, but if it's anything like Namco's other 3DS games, it'll probably drop to $30 before Christmas.

I might get a 3DS when Resident Evil comes out, Ghost Recon looks really good, too.

Shinobi, Sonic and maybe Ace Combat/Nano Assault for me.
After SSFIV, DOA, Zelda, Mario and Starfox, I'm good on 3DS for a bit until Kid Icarus.

I just gotten hold of Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy. It's pretty awesome so far. It's nice that "Manuvers" that are carry overs from The Sky Crawlers don't break the game and quite a fair amount of precision is still needed.

Yes it did and now it's ludicrously expensive!
Considering Ambassadors get GBA games, I'm sure it's in the cards.
WayForward is working hard to get Shantae on eShop.
Shinobi seems like a pleasant surprise. And here I thought it was going to be a "disappointment".
I have Pac-man/Galaga Dimensions and play it mostly for Galaga Legions. Online Leaderboards is a nice feature, but I doubt I'll be dedicated enough to score crazy enough.

Not one of the 2nd-tier titles of the fall, but I just finished Rabbids Travel in Time 3d (the 2d platformer that came out near launch). It was... okay. It was kind of bland. The premise is that a Rabbid goes back in time using a washer/dryer and... uh... fights other Rabbids... and then the game ends when you travel forward in time again? Okay?
A few level design annoyances: You have a ton of health and keep getting more through the game, so you'll never die from taking damage, but there are instant death sections and you'll die an enormous amount of times from them. It's not hard in any way, you just grind through lives in the last few worlds. Levels often reverse left-right direction, which is fine, but the bottom screen is used for a bar showing your progress through the level (like NSMB) and it flows left->right all the time. There were also some weird UI decisions (you need to replay most levels to beat a time target, but it doesn't tell you which levels you can/have beaten in this way, the game requires you to collect items in 12 specific levels, but there's no indication which levels have them until you enter the level, you collect costumes but there's no checklist). So typical launch title problems.
There were a fair few levels and a decent variety of in-level mechanics so you might like it for $10-15 or so. I did play it to 100% completion so obviously I didn't dislike my time with it.

I did not know MAMA was still cooking
Cave Story 3D, Ace Combat, and Nano Assault for me. Maybe Shinobi later on. Of those though, I'm only likely to get Nano Assault day one. The rest will wait.
I'm a bit scared though that Cave Story 3D will disappear ala Devil Survivor and end up expensive. I may want to jump on it.

Yeah, it's a totally generic 2D PIKMIN PLATFORMING PILE OF AWESOME. Like Canvas Curse, it's much better than any of the actual Kirby platformers.
Anyway, on topic, I will pick up Cave Story 3D if somebody has a sale that will allow me to get it with Mario. Will probably get James Noir and Dr. Lautrec at discounts someday. Maybe Ace Combat, too.
Traded in some old DS games for Shinobi today. The 3D seems a little off, I actually have ghosting while other games like Mario are totally crisp! I turned 3D off completely after a while the ghosting killed it for me.
Gameplaywise it definitely has the feel of a Shinobi game but I have some trouble really using 5 different buttons on the 3DS to full effect. They are so damn small... And it seems like you really have to master the controls: Difficulty is quite challenging. 3rd section already has you wall jumping around Super Meat Boy style...
So far I would say try before you buy. I only caved in because it was seemed hard to get here in Germany. Most stores where I asked didn't get it although they ordered soime and I didn't want to risk missing out on it when it turns out to be great.

I'm really wanting Nano Assault. I wish Majesco would get their shit together and stick to a release date. Gamestop and Best Buy have this as coming out tomorrow, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've seen 3 other dates on various websites.
Yeah, it's delayed to who-knows-exactly-when according to one site:

Picked up Ace Combat. Pretty good so far - the 3D is very subtle, but really pops in cockpit mode.
