Isn't the extra thumb pad addon just for MH3? Not sure what the point of it is otherwise. Either way won't affect us since MH3DS isn't coming over here anyways.

it's first party, and it'll be used for Kid Icarus (since Leftys have a hard time with the aiming scheme). You can bet they'll use it for Luigi's Mansion too, although I doubt they'll require it (you'll just have to use face buttons to control your vaccuum/light if you don't have one).

I wonder how long it will be until I get a 3DS

Well since they just announced Roller Coaster Tycoon for 3DS, it is bound to happen soon. Right?

Like anyone else, you'll buy one when it gets an exclusive game you can't resist missing out on. The price point doesn't mean a thing if it gets a killer, unique app. For a lot of people that threshold will be crossed either at Mario Land 3DS, Kart 7 or Pokemon Gen Six.

Dunno.. there are a few Wii games I'd love to play, but I cant justify buying a system that will collect dust 11-12 months out of the year

Then you never found a must-have game on the Wii. If you also never found a game you had to own on the DS then I wouldn't fault you for not wanting a 3DS no matter what came out from it. Not trying to argue it's inevitable that the 3DS will inherit its predecessor's throne, but that Nintendo won't stop making games for it that will keep it competitive in the space for years to come.

System pays for itself once you've modded it & dumped over $1400 dollars of free digital vidya on it.

My solution to not having a Wii myself is using my cousin's Wii.

(since Leftys have a hard time with the aiming scheme)

This is bullshit imo. Any players should be able to get used to a control scheme if they try more than 5 minutes.

Nintendo NPD PR:

Nintendo 3DS Sales Up 260 Percent Following Price Reduction

Nintendo sold more than 235,000 Nintendo 3DS™ portable entertainment systems in the United States in August, and the system finished as the No. 2 best-selling dedicated game system for the month, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. About 185,000 units were sold following a price reduction on Aug. 12, an increase of more than 260 percent during the comparable 19-day time period in July.

“Consumers are responding very positively to the new suggested retail price of $169.99 for the Nintendo 3DS,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With Star Fox 64 3D and the new Flame Red color launching tomorrow, and Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 arriving later this year, Nintendo 3DS will offer consumers cutting-edge entertainment and tremendous value this holiday season.”

Other Nintendo milestones reached in August include:

Nintendo sold more than 590,000 total hardware units in August, including more than 190,000 Wii™ systems and more than 165,000 units of the Nintendo DS™ family.
For the third month in a row, the majority of the best-selling software SKUs play on Nintendo platforms. August featured five of the top 10 and 15 of the top 20.
So far in 2011, more than 50 million units of software have been sold for Nintendo platforms.
In total, 540 million units of software have been sold for the Wii system and Nintendo DS family of systems combined.

#1 Selling console in Aug was Xbox360 with like 303k

[Salodin]

260% of not a lot of units to begin with is still not entirely impressive. Of course sales are up, but it still pales in comparison to what they've done before.

Sept. numbers should be illuminating. Will North America bite when StarFox 64 is the only new thing on shelves for the 3DS until Mario makes his debut on the system?

What? Fuck, I've been bested.

StarFox 3DS is super fun, wish all these remakes had some new content though.

[Minions]

Hold off for 6 months
get a upgraded 3DS the same size as the current one w/o some half assed addon
???
Profit

Wasting money buying a 3DS with that addon, bulky and ugly, kinda defeats the purpose of "portable". Wait it out and spend $200~ and get the new revision with likely better battery life that gets released in 6-12 months.
