If you don't buy a 3DS for Harmoknight then you should be barred from participating in any other threads about Game Freak's games.

Dude, I'm not concentrating on the 3DS at all. The amount of games that I care about on that system can be counted on an amputee's fingers.
-Pokemon
-Ace Attorney
-Awesome Mario
-Okay Mario
-Mario Kart
-Kid Icarus
-OOT and Star Fox 64
That's not bad for $200. Maybe you should wait for the inevitable 3DS + Pokemon Gen 6 bundle next fall.

Oh yea, I forgot about 3D Land. That's a pretty good 3DS game. Much better than NSMB2.
You know you'll buy it for Pokemon Orange and Purple (or whatever they call it)

Then why buy a DSi? It literally has nothing except for a very small selection of bite-sized digital games.
3DS is backwards compatible with DS and DSi and also, obviously, forwards compatible with 3DS games.

Maybe he's also worried about how DS games look on the 3DS? I know some people have an issue with that.

I really don't see the advantage in going for the DSi which outweighs the complete lack of future compatibility, that the 3DS will avoid.

They look perfect on an XL in native mode.

Maybe he doesn't want to spend money on a XL? I see no issue in getting a DSi or a DSXL if you aren't interested in the 3DS right now...can probably find good deals on them anyway.

AA is the only appealing thing on that list. I'm not interested in the direction 3D Mario has gone, and I've played enough of NSMB2 on my friend's 3DS to know that I want nothing to do with it. I hate Kid Icarus and I'm not interested in buying ports.
It can hook up to my router. Plus DSi's are cheaper.

Buying a 3DS XL without any games you want on the horizon might not be the best decision in the world.
Buying a DSi for router compatibility certainly is a worse decision, though.
As an aside; your Kid Icarus hatred baffles me.

Yeah, USB dongles on Amazon can do that for like $15 bucks.

Get the DSi......
I've had uh an embarrassing moment to put it lightly trying to use my neighbors router....

I want to be able to enjoy everything that the DS can do without being gimped due to router security.
And I've never liked Kid Icarus. Not the NES game, not his character in Brawl, not anything. I don't know why me choosing to not play a game in a series I don't like is baffling.

The 3DS does this, with new stuff on top.
The 3DS game has absolutely zero in common with the rest of the franchise in gameplay, tone, characterisation or whatever else you want.

I don't hate Kid Icarus I hate the drone-like love for it.
Fair enough.
Uprising is totally different from the other Kid Icarus games, though. It's pretty much Star Fox on crack. I didn't think I'd like it either, but I picked it up and really enjoyed it. You should give it a try.
A Pretty Panda

Yeah if I played it it'd be for that.

What are you going on about

Good games get well liked. Strange, but true.
The Kid Icarus IP has very, very little to do with it. I made the OT, and I wasn't even born when the original came out.
hehehehehehe
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Yeah I'm sure there are people who do like the game for what it is. Which is great.
I just hate the people who think Kid Icarus is some sort of coveted IP that NEEDED to return.
It's funny you mention that because everytime I encounter these people I doubt they were born when the first game came out also.

The original KI is underrated/overhated. Pretty decent game.

It seems to me that the most popular characters and mechanics have absolutely nothing to do with classic Kid Icarus but, you know, whatever.

I still don't see any reason why I should get a 3DS when I know I'm not going to be buying any games for it in the foreseeable future. Seems like a waste of money.
And Uprising still has Kid Icarus all over it, which is enough for me to stay away. Like it or not, branding is one of the things I look for when purchasing games.
This was annoying as fuck, too.

I don't even have Uprising yet lol, and I'm not too hot on the idea of the ground sections. Plus I never really gelled with Sin & Punishment 2, I like my railshooters in Houses and full the the Dead.
But really I'm just waiting for it to hit the eShop.

You guys actually took my advice to not talk about Pokemon? Good.

I'm tempted to use a party of mainly monkey Pokemon one day...shame Monferno and Darmanitan are both the same types.

I take it back, I won't do it...or maybe just a team with Monferno and Ambipom again. If only the elemental monkey designs were much better.

Bunch of bloody hippies they are.
I actually like their first forms but they just go downhill once they evolve.

Did they only use in region pokemon? If so that could get ugly fast. Johto is not kind to grass types even though it has two of my favorites in Chikorita and Jumpluff.

Hey, here's a crazy idea: what if next Gen, instead of Gym Leaders sticking to one type they built their team around a specific theme? Here are some examples:
Leader Melody (Team: Chatot, Loudred, Kirlia, Ludicolo)
Leader Gorge (Team: Snorlax, Vanilluxe, Swalot, Tropius, Crawdaunt)
Leader Morpheus (Ditto, Castform, Kecleon, Cherrim, Zen Darmanitan)
Leader Narcolepta (Hypno, Jigglypuff, Musharna, Snorlax)
Something like that.

Haha that would be pretty difficult. Shows how dumb gym leaders are. I like how Red and Blue (and probably a couple others) are the only trainers to listen to the advice everyone in the game tells you about diversifying.
