    That looks amazing! Too bad that I can't afford a 3DS, though!

    It's awesome, so much stuff to do!! It's almost a little too overwhelming lol. So far I've started as a Wizard and have learned some spells and beaten some baddies.

    Nah, it was Shantae for me. Anyone that doesn't have Shantae 3 yet deserves a punch in the face

    The last Nintendo handheld I owned was a Gold Zelda edition DS. I've wanted the 3DS ever since it came out but haven't got it yet. Now I'm reading about this "New 3D XL" (or LL).

    http://kotaku.com/the-new-3ds-is-the-portable-nintendo-shouldve-released-1648807126

    I'm kinda glad I waited. But I'll still be waiting a little while, since it'll be 2015 before it comes to the US. Definitely want to buy "A Link Between Worlds" I believe it's called. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse looks really sweet too.

    Dude, do yourself a favor and buy an XL now, then trade it in for a $100 when the new one comes out.

    Trust me. It's so worth it.

    New one might not come till march anyway, that's a long ass time.

    I bought mine in August, even though I had a gut feeling they were gonna reveal a hardware refresh, despite the fact that there had been zero hints towards such a thing whatsoever.

    And boom, it happened less than a month later. But you know what? I don't regret it one bit.

    Steam World Dig Release Trailer

    YouTube: video

    I felt this was also worthy of an embedded trailer, even if it's old.

    Edit: Great, it didn't embed properly

    Shantae and the Pirate's Curse by WayForward

    Pocket Gamer: ''Dearest platforming fans, if you've yet to make the acquaintance of Scuttle Town's warm-hearted guardian, now's the time. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is just satisfying in every regard, whether you're hopping, floating, shooting, exploring, or collecting.'' 9/10 Full Pocket Gamer Review

    Nintendo Life: ''Whether or not you’re a platforming fan, and whether or not you’ve played any of the previous titles in this series, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is an exceptionally well-crafted game that should not be ignored.'' 9/10 Full Nintendo Life Review

    IGN: ''Though it’s an unmistakable tribute to Metroid and Castlevania, infusing a sharp wit and bold style helps Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse stand above its retro-inspired contemporaries.'' 8.5/10 Full IGN Review

    Not right now, but over the past couple of years at various points I've owned a 3DS, 3DS XL and a 2DS. I wasn't using it much though so I gave them to my nieces and nephews.

    Now, I really want a New 3DS. Those coloured buttons look very sexy. There are games like Shantae and Shovel Knight that are making the wait pretty difficult. But if I'd got another Nintendo handheld right now it'd probably be a DS Lite, there are bunch of quality DS games that I haven't played yet.

    Pretty smart idea, since buying a 3DS for backwards comparability then selling it when the new one comes out would be a money dump.

    I'd go with the DSi if I were you, but that's just personal preference.

    What are some of the games on your "to-play" list?

    Btw, just to bother you, Shantae and Shovel Knight are phenomenal.

    I was really interested in buying a 3DS but never got the chance to do so, then Nintendo went and anounced the New 3DS, I thought "Great, now I'll just wait for the new one instead, it won't be long". 3 weeks later, they announced release date for AUS and no US/UK till next year. Couldn't bear the wait anymore with so many great games around, I was like "Screw it, I'm gonna grab a 2nd 3DS XL and play till they release the new one" and it was well worth it! I haven't touched my ios games ever since and I don't think I will be able to go back to ios gaming :(
