@Benza: I'm not calling you close minded and you are well within your right to dislike whatever you want. I merely meant to say people tend to be less close minded when they mature a bit, it does not mean they have to like everything!!!!

Why does everyone always troll the Nintendo reviews? We get it, you like fighting giants. Go play Skyrim.

Probably because of how sickeningly rabid mario fans are?
I mean shit I didn't even really mean to start an argument but after reactions like "Next time somebody tries to tell me an opinion cannot possibly be wrong, I am going to show them this post." to saying I'm not a fan it's kind of asking for an argument.

Yeah I have to admit, it's pretty funny how a simple "mario doesn't interest me" kind of response turned into this huge "LOL UR WRONG" debacle.

That's kinda a comment that would make me check it out, as Mario 64 is the only one of the series I've found to be truly brilliant*. But it's really not a comment that'd make me go get a 3DS. The system sellers at the moment seem to be Starfox (a 64 remake), Zelda (a 64 remake), this (with 64 stylings) and Mario Kart 7. Out of them all, Mario Kart is the most likely to make me get the system.
*I've not played either of the Galaxy games.

You're right about the 3DS having no games. Like Karai said earlier, this is the first reason to own one, and Mario Kart when it comes out on Saturday. They are both just rehashes of older ideas, especially Mario Kart, but they are just damn good ideas that stand the test of time.
Mario fans in their 20s and 30s probably feel like it's an attack on their childhood, most franchises don't enjoy such longevity.

That's the thing, it's the kind of reaction I'd expect from a 16 yearold on x-box live defending Cod 3 as being the best game ever.
People in there 20's and 30's should be able to understand basic concepts like not everyone shares there opinion.

I have Zelda, Mario 3DS, Mario Kart (Pre-ordered and paid for on Saturday), Ridge Racer and Pilot Wings. I have spent more time in 3DS Zelda than Skyrim, Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Gears, Uncharted 3 and Halo Aniversary and am loving 3DS Mario. Most of these experiences are not available on none Nintendo consoles, Sony and MS just don't make 'em like Ninty. Mario 3DS has made me proud of my purchases too, Roll on 3DS Zelda and Kid Icarus!

Gotta ask did you play Ocarina originally? Cause that's gotta be the one thing really turning me off is that I fucking loved star fox and ocarina on the 64. I played those games to death. I booted up Starfox again recently and while I had a blast, playing it for like an hour but after that. Man I'm done with that game, I've done absolutely everything that's possible to do and picking it up again after I got the hang of it I had run through hard mode in like an hour.
There's just nothing left for me to do and I feel like I'd be the same playing Ocarina of Time (It's the only big game I ever really 100%, I fucking destroyed that game to the point of beating it without ever getting the kokiri sword) but I feel like if I got the 3DS and the remake, after the nostalgia wheres off, I've beaten that game so throughly that I wouldn't want to replay it.

I didn't argue with you at all though. I just put you on the list.

I think I'd rather be labelled several different kinds of homosexual on Xbox live. At least the kids get over it once the match is over and they've got new people to bash.

Less of whats already available, inevitably. They have been kinda slack on the wii tbh on thier selection of AAA titles. I'll just hope for a new fire emblem before I commit to Japanese lessons.

One thing I dislike about the Wii is that the first party 'AAA titles' do not drop an inch in price. Ever.
Games like New Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country Returns, etc.. are still full price! What gives Nintendo..

It definately won't do them any favours as this viewpoint isn't shared by their competitors in the marketplace. I realise that 80% of their third party title selections are shovelware but to stay competitive, Nintendo should really think about adopting a 'Platinum Hits' / 'Greatest Hits' philosophy.

In Europe and the States they have the Nintendo Selects range. I bought Twilight Princess for about $20AUD not long ago on Zavvi. The first Mario Galaxy is also pretty cheap. Not sure why Australia still doesn't have the range though, I'm still waiting for NSMB Wii and SMG2 to get cheaper myself.

Yeh nintendo are sorta different in that new games are always cheaper than other consoles but they stay the same price for 2 years. I had a copy of pokemon battle revolution and fire emblem which traded in at a higher value than i bought it though....
