With the Nintendo 3DS launch details coming to light, the GamePro editors have started to determine whether they'll be getting a system at launch. Read on to see who's there on day one, who's on the fence, and who's uninterested.
With theNintendo 3DS' launch details permeating the internet this morning, one question has been making its way through the GamePro offices-"Are you getting one?"Now that we're armed with afair amount of informationabout when the system will be out, what it'll cost, and what'll be available (March 27, $250, and not a whole lot, respectively), each of the GamePro editors weighed in on whether they'll be getting the system in a little over two months:
IN AT LAUNCH:
Dave Rudden--Associate Editor, GamePro.com:Even though the launch lineup could be anemic at the level of the Nintendo 64, the rest of what I've heard (and seen) about the 3DS has put me in the"launch-day purchaser"camp. The price point is reasonable (the Wii came out at the same price, and offered the same amount of value through innovation), the accouterments are cool (like the ability for the portable to transmit data and serve as a pedometer in sleep mode), and the amount of additional content that will be playable on the system at launch (including backwards-compatible DS games and original Game Boy titles via the 3DS Virtual Console) will help make up for the lack of first-party firepower. All I need is Pilotwings Resort (that franchise has never failed at launch) and one or two quality third party games on store shelves on March 27, and I'll be set.
Patrick Shaw--Senior Editor, GamePro Magazine:If my girlfriend doesn't beat me to it (in which case, we'll probably attempt to share a 3DS), I'm planning on purchasing a Nintendo 3DS on day one. The 3DS' $250 price is also pretty reasonable, especially considering early estimations of what it'd actually cost were as high as $300. While I'm not exactly blown away by the launch window lineup Nintendo's revealed so far, I'm looking forward to getting my first taste of the 3DS' glasses-free 3D gaming with PilotWings Resort since I'm a fan of the series, which seems ideal for 3D. Hopefully Nintendo will reveal more launch titles before March 27 rolls around. I'm hoping Capcom releases Resident Evil: Revelations sometime shortly after launch.
Jason Wilson--Group Managing Editor:I pre-ordered a blue 3DS today. It's the first time I've pre-ordered a video-game system. I'm a PC gamer, so I'm not caught up in the"OMG! Must buy new console on launch day"madness. But I'm curious to see how the 3DS handles 3D gaming, and my DS doesn't work reliably anymore. Besides the 3D aspect, the 3DS's new features don't really interest me -- I don't like multiplayer games. I'm excited to check out Kid Icarus: Uprising when it comes out, but the rest of the launch titles leave me rather flat.
