Noticeable lack of good original games; too many remakes.

This is now an AR images thread
I got mine on launch day, pre-ordered too (no hunting around for two months, not this time!). I ended up purchasing Lego Star Wars III and nothing else for the time being, since the games I want the most are only a few weeks or months away. I'm a bit surprised that the eShop isn't running yet, as I expected it at launch, but I suppose it'll come along soon enough.
I'm still working on always keeping my head within the handheld's "sweet spot" for the 3D, but I'm getting there. It turns out that I tend to hold my DS ever so slightly at an angle! One thing's clear, though: the output is 3D, and it does work. It's not as stunning as a large movie display, but I like the added depth it offers: it doesn't fully jump into your face, which makes it look more realistic instead of distracting.
Fun thing: I took a 3D picture on the 3DS, removed the SD card, crammed it into my PC, opened the picture file... 'lo and behold, my 3D-enabled PC display rendered the photo properly! I'm surprised to see that the file format is standard enough to work across devices! 
I haven't played much of the game itself yet, so I'll hold my comments for now. I'll only say this: load times on a cartridge game? Seriously?
I'll try the AR and head shooting... game... thing in a day or two.

Anyone have problems with it at all? Mine froze up yesterday while playing the grafitti AR game, but past that it's been fine.
That was still enough of a sign to freak me out into thinking I got one of those "Black screen of death" systems.
I probably won't be getting this system until more games get released for it.
I look forward to the new Super Mario game that was announced, the new Paper Mario game, both Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D and Revelations, and of course, Mega Man Legends 3.
Certainly, the system has a very promising library of games that merit a console purchase.
It's only a matter of time for me. 
One thing I dislike: the annoying, fake camera sound that is heard whenever you take a picture. No matter if you mute the system or plug in headphones, the clicking always happens. Nintendo, I'm not trying to capture 3D panty shots with my handheld, I want to take photos of the urban scenery where perspective effects will show what that screen can do. Please allow me to do so without bothering the people around me.

What, Teej isn't telling you guys how his 3DS emotionally abused him?
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
Ehhhhh I'm not going to get one... I'll stick with my DS, until the 3DS is down to 100$. XD
The head shooting game is...interesting.
I scanned in a picture of Spock, and the results were interesting.
With the AR cards, Samus ended up battling my cat.
Great system, and the fishing is very relaxing.
On another note, that clicking noise IS annoying,although I did laugh at the "jokes" about it seen above.

Obviously, but if I wanted to do that, I could just grab my regular digital camera: it's smaller, faster to use, and I can mute all noise including when taking pictures. Granted, the result wouldn't be in 3D, but I'd have a much better resolution in return! Should we really inflict the noise on everyone for a situation that is far from being a widespread society problem?

I like the idea of it, Im sure its a real hit, but im going to wait and see if they make a better 3DS. One thats bigger. I just want my screens to match in size. it just bothers me. I wait eagerly for next DS.

My friend's been playing SSFIV 3DS and it's making me all sorts of jealous. I want portable Street Fighter nooooooow.
Really though, I'm going to try to hold off till MML3 or Christmas, whichever comes first. It's no secret that the launch line-up's pretty slim, so I don't think I'll miss that much in the mean time.
As a side note, the DSi and 3DS can use WPA encrypted wi-fi connections, so that's another attractive reason to get it for me. Everything's WPA encrypted and I have a DS lite. T_T

True, and you have to make sure that the games can support that type of connection also. Like with Heart Gold/Soul Silver & now Pokemon Black/White. The DSi and 3DS systems themselves can handle it but as I saw Heart Gold/Soul Silver in the pokemon series along with any older ones CANNOT access WPA while Pokemon Black and White can.

I'm holding off until the price drops. I'll buy the games I want when they come out (Professor Layton, Megaman Legends 3, etc) so it'll look good on their sales record.
Meanwhile, I think I'll buy a new PS3 with that $300. I don't feel comfortable paying $300 for a handheld. (This is coming from a person who can't imagine paying more than $20 for a cellphone...)
InactiveYeah, I think I'll wait for a price drop. Anyway, the launch titles don't really interest me.

Apparently I have a lot to learn about the 3DS before I go out and buy one. I guess with Legends 3 on delay I'll have plenty of time to research. Right now I've also got my eye on Paper Mario 3D and (as always) Mario Kart. And I will probably try hard not to get Animal Crossing, but fail.
Some time has passed, and I want to say this: bring on the fun games already! As soon as the Nintendo eShop opens, which can't be too soon, we'll get access to the entire library of DSi downloadable titles. That alone will be enough to keep me busy for a while.
I'm having a lot of silly fun with Mii StreetPass. It's great to see the green notification light being lit, I then go to the Mii application and the game goes "you've met X, it's your third time; here's Y, this is your first meeting", and so on. It's nice to see a local wireless program for the 3DS that is actually usable, compared to the DS's must-be-stuck-in-this-game-and-mode way of doing things.
Face Raiders is hilarious! The game does a pretty good job at capturing faces and creating expressions with them, and the game itself is fun too. I've added a few family members and friends in it's database, and it's funny to see them come up randomly in a round winking, laughing and frowning! I'm hoping that Nintendo will eventually release other games such as these. They're simple, are a nice way to showcase the system, and they're fun.
It's a shame that the battery doesn't last longer. I have to make sure that I recharge my 3DS once every 2-3 days of casual use, else I end up with a dead system. I'll probably start shutting down the wireless communication whenever I'm not in a public area in order to make it last longer.

When the 3DS shop opens Megaman Legends 3 prototype version will be available for download.

Remakes will be the thing on the 3DS.
Capcom, get your thinking caps ready!
InactiveWhat got me, was that Xevious never really struck me as a very good game. On the other hand, Link to the Past is among my most well-loved games on both systems it appeared on.
So... be careful, guys.

Just got back from vacation. NetFront is fine, MUCH FASTER than dsi, but... Nintendo did a good job.
