I'd have to try it before I started considering it.

Me too... I can't see how the system would work as well as they say. Nintendo are ones for releasing gimmicky stuff (Wii Fit, pour example)

Jimmy Fallon was practically exploding with joy when he had the President of Nintendo on Late Night yesterday (showing off Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii and 3DS).

You don't need glasses but apparently the experience is amazing :zippy:....I'm curious :(

I've always been a Nintendo fan, but now they're on their fifth DS, I can't afford another one...  :(  But Mario Kart and Paper Mario sound good.  And the 3D...  I don't know if I want one or not.  I'd have to try it too.

Also, some games use both screens at the same time.  Surely that won't work if they're different sizes?  ;)

I've been planning on getting a DS for a very long time but every time they release one, less than a month later they'll announce a new iteration so I decide to wait.

I'll definitely be getting a 3DS (for the backwards compatibility alone) if a 3DS Lite isnt announced within 1-2 months after its release.
