Nothing said either way, as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprised either way. The main reason I think it might stay exclusive is how different the hardware is, but if it was a guaranteed exclusive, Ninty would have repeated that about 599 times to make sure that people got it. Overall, it was a pretty strong conference for the Japanese market. *looks at E3* We... haven't had as much luck lately.
Can't believe that Ninty's stock dipped on this. Are investors really so stupid that they think they'd announce: A. a move to iOS gaming (GOD NO! DON'T FUCKING DO IT), or B. a system redesign LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THE 3DS CAME OUT? Overall, this was about as good as they could have expected for something tailored to a Japanese market.

I was recently planning on getting a 3DS+Super Mario 3D Land bundle, but my brother convinced me otherwise. He said that getting it would be a poor investment what with the Wii U coming out next year. Other reasons he gave me were: 1. Playing with the 3D visuals for an extended period of time would strain my eyes and give me headaches (well aware of the switch that shuts it off), 2. Nothing much was changed from the DSi, 3. The price was reduced only after about 4 months of it's release due to poor sales, and 4. The whole viewing things in 3D is a fad.

Honestly he made a few good points. I'm still going to buy one, but I'm probably going to wait for another price drop (if such a thing happens). Also, I've only had my DSi for about a year and a half now. What do you guys think?

*points at CaveStory3DS thread.* Nearground 3d objects are a nightmare x_x. besides that, yeah, it's a gimmick, but my DS's were dying, and using the 3D isnt 100% necessary, hopefully there will still be plenty of 2D dev for the 3ds o3o;;.

3D gaming isn't a fad. I'll attest to that fact. I'd blame poor system sales on poor games in it's early stages... And the 3D visuals thing depends on you... Parallax 3D does different things to different people...
The system is about twice as powerful as a DSi btw. Supposedly, it sits somewhere between a Cube and a Wii.
Also, another price drop in the near future is unlikely, until Ninty releases a revision.

There are reasons to hold off on a 3DS for the time being, but those aren't what I'd use. If you're that hesitant, then you should probably wait... They'll have systems for the next 4 years, and there are great DS games you can hold yourself off with. The moment the games for the 3DS become so good you can no longer hold off, get one. I've started that trend lately, and it's really been working well...

I said I'm still planning to buy one. Quite honestly, I'll probably wait till more titles come out such as 'Luigi's Mansion 2', 'Animal Crossing', and possibly 'Kid Icarus: Uprising'. At that time probably, my DSi will be about 2 years old nya.

Fairly sure I've given up.
I just now received my 3DS slot blocker.. it fits perfectly! Now no more dust will fall into my 3DS, keeping it safe..

But.. I cannot help but wonder why it's got such an odd name..

I mean, seriously.. a slot blocker with the name 'Super Mario 3D Land'? Just seems funny to me.
