matches most of my current equipment...

I need to catch up on 'must own' DS games though, I've been out of the handheld scene for a good three years now and not took any notice of releases. If anyone has ideas for the top notch DS games to take a look at I shall...

It's all about that glittery finish on the blue. Pure jizz worthy stuff, I can't wait to get my hands on mine.

I never owned a DS and as there isn't a stand out 3DS launch game that I really want I think I'm gonna pick up Pokemon White and Chinatown Wars. I was thinking about Splinter Cell 3D but I hear the frame rate isn't so good. I'm really looking forward to Snake Eater though.

It didn't look too great to me either going on what I've seen so far. The only games that really stand out to me as ones I'd want to play from the launch line up are Splinter Cell and Street Fighter, but I heard there's other games coming out soon after, 27th or something so I'll be getting the console without games.

The sad thing is, right now the only games that I'd bother with right now are Pokemon, Zelda and Golden Sun DS. Havent seen anything else yet that sparks my interest.

Annoyed with myself now though...gave away a £50 gift voucher to my family that worked in HMV about a month ago, as I so rarely shop in there. Could have used it on one!

Mario has that tail in the logo. Continuation of Mario Bros 3 ?

Gah!

This is now my most wanted game on any platform. No mavity stuff please, Nintendo - straight up Mario 64 meets SMB3 in 3D.

Woo.

Yeah let's just say it's not the strongest launch line up, I can't wait to see what's coming in the future though.

Rayman Rabbids 2D plat former comes out a week later, looks ok will need to see what the reviews are like for it.

The Running Man · 6 Mar 2011 at 12:39

Im going to wait and then try to snag a DS XL for peanuts when the time comes.

Ill prob get a 3ds on the 2nd gen hardware when it gets released in 12-18 months.

eurogamer gave it 8/10, which leads me to believe if you didn't like the original you won't like it now. I think it's perfect as a launch title, but I'll reserve judgement when I get it on release (hopefuly)

Warbie · 6 Mar 2011 at 18:40

Come guys, it's Pilot Wings - the first two games were superb! It's the perfect type of game for a handheld too. It's the only 'must have' from the launch lineup.

Kreeeee · 6 Mar 2011 at 22:54

Well I have cancelled my pre order for pilot wings.

Noxia · 6 Mar 2011 at 23:35

Gah, I'm fighting to not order one at launch, if they did it as big as the DSI XL I'd be sold!

I'm not convinced any of them are must have... SSFIV looks the best of the lot, but surely I'm better just getting it on the 360?

Kreeeee · 7 Mar 2011 at 01:03

There is some slowdown in 3D mode on the 3DS, but it is meant to look very good.

I'd definitely get it on the 360 over the 3DS though.

Monkey ball is always good, and I'm hoping Rayman 3DS will be a great port (never played the original). Other than that, I'd just get some good Ds games until the big guns hit in a few weeks.

craptakular · 7 Mar 2011 at 07:41

I have ordered pilot wings but now starting to think it's a game for 10 mins here and there.

When is Zelda and Star Fox out?

K1LLSW1TCH · 7 Mar 2011 at 07:46

I never liked Rayman so I'll definitely be giving that a miss. NFL looks pretty good and I'm still in two minds about Splinter Cell, I haven't seen any real gameplay footage of it yet.
