Now that you mention it, it did seem like the jaggies went away in 3D mode. However to be fair, I have barely played the 3DS in 2D mode at all.

At $70+ per game, I need to be careful with these new 3DS games. I don't normally buy that many brand new video games because it's too expensive. I'm gonna have to pick and choose a few games that I really want, and wait a few years to buy the others. We have finally reached the point where handheld games are equal in development costs and price to console games.

Sorry. I should have been more clear.

I buy Japanese games from the USA, so it's more like $70 for me. Not only are Japanese games more expensive to begin with, but I gotta pay extra for shipping and also so Japanese sellers can make a profit off me. -_-;

I would love to be paying $40 with no shipping cost but the 3DS is region locked and I prefer Japanese games anyway. At least if I wait a while, I can get Japanese games for cheap.

I bet it will sell out on launch day and be hard to find unless you go online to Amazon or eBay where resellers will likely sell it for much higher. I put my pre-order in really early so I can get one. 8)

Already in Japan it has sold out, and I am sure it will be the same in the US as well.

But I am taking the look-n-wait approach here, I mean look at the launch titles!!!

:roll:

Where's Star Fox, Zelda, and Kid Icarus??? For now its the "3D without glasses" that is grabbing the attention, not the games, and not definitely about the "Mii's," and the battery life is a downer for me (granted Nyko has come out a new batter pack).

I second this. I'll wait on this one for sure.
