What to sell...

Be seeing you.
So, I've been seriously considering selling off my Wii and Wii games to get a 3DS.

I'd probably sell off my DSi as well so it'd be easier to get money to buy a 3DS. The only problem is that the 3DS is seriously lacking in the game department. And no, I am not interested in buying Ocarina of Time again.

Does anyone know of some good upcoming 3DS games? Does anyone really think it's worth it?

EDIT: i was looking through the recently announced 3DS games and I did manage to find a few that I'd like to get. These are the only ones I want to get that actually have a "release window."

–Bit.Trip Saga (September 2011)
–Cave Story 3D (November 2011)
–Doctor Lautrec (September 2011)
–Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns (September 2011)
–Kid Icarus Uprising (Fall/Winter 2011)
–Mario Kart 3D (Holiday 2011)
–Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (November 2011)
–Paper Mario 3D (November 2011)
–Super Mario 3D (Holiday 2011)
–Tetris 3DS (October 2011)
–Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (Winter 2011)
–Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (TBA, but probably Spring 2012)

If you're not interested in OoT or any of the other games, no, it's not worth it. Wait until a new model is released, when it will be cheaper and probably have games that appeal to you. Selling your Wii/Wii games and your DSi for something you're not that interested in won't be worth it.

Okay. I think I will probably just wait until Kingdom Hearts 3D is at least announced for the US and THEN buy it. I'll buy pretty much any system that a Kingdom Hearts game is on. XD

Slash is right. I own a 3DS right now and it's not worth it. The system has several flaws that most people don't know about and the games for it are very lacking at this point. Down the line there will be much more available for it so it will be worth it eventually, but like Slash said just wait for a price drop and/or newer model because it will happen.

You named off some great games, I'm looking forward to those as well. Some other titles I'm looking forward to:

Tales of the Abyss
Chocobo Racing 3D
Rune Factory 4

Honestly, I'll probably going to get one after Christmas is over when I get some Christmas money. At the very least, I'll be able to play all of my DS games. At the very most, I'll be able to play some really kickass games until KH3D when my brain will implode from all the epicness.

EDIT: I'll look over most small problems in a system as long as it has good games. I can even forgive the battery life for the 3DS as long as it has KH3D on it. Oh Kingdom Hearts... :wub:

Ehh, it's not the battery life that's bad. The DS backwards compatibly is not as perfect as you might think, it has several problems like blurry pixels and faded colors. It's something you have to see with a 3DS and DS next to each other. It doesn't ruin the backwards compatibly, it's just highly disappointing.

The hinge on the system is very weak. Even after taking very good care of mine, it squeaks horribly and feels like it could come apart any second. There has been several reports of this, some even worse than others. On top of that, the buttons and even d-pad can get a terribly bad speaking problems. Storm post that video if you still have it.

This model just isn't worth it for the price you pay, no matter what software is out, and that's not saying much. I love Kingdom Hearts a lot myself, but I know the game will be another spin-off, and it's certainly not worth spending money on a flawed system just for it. The best bet is to wait for a new model and pray they get things right this time.

Pfft. Cave Story 3D. I beat Cave Story back when it was a free download for the PC, and now they're selling it for the freaking 3DS? I wouldn't be surprised if it was full price, too.

Snake Eater 3D? Great, that and Ocarina of Time are two games that have been out for around a decade. At least Snake Eater has the excuse of being on a different platform, in case Nintendo fanboys didn't get the chance to play it earlier.

Cave Story 3D will be full priced, but it has new content from the guy who originally made it.

I never got to play Snake Eater 3D, so there's that.

Cave Story was an amazing game, I replay it every year. I don't care if they want to charge me 20$ for a game I seriously love.
