Never owned a handheld gaming console before. Bought the 3DS only because I like stereoscopy and it was quite affordable. Glad it also offer other nice features like StreetPass and online gaming. I have yet no idea what game I will buy as the first one.

Perhaps you should choose that LEGO Star Wars III game for the 3DS. It looks like there'd be a bunch of content to last you awhile.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

I think I will wait for the 2nd generation games with more feature like well implemented StreetPass and online gaming. I don't plan to spend many 40$ on games, I think it's a bit expensive. They should have targeted 30$ instead. Anyway, I'll look for title in sales as I'm not an addicted gamer. I like to carry it around to show my stereo pictures collection.

Never had a handheld before...$250=affordable yet $40=expensive....my mind has been blown, lol.

40$ * 10 for 10 games = expensive but the console for 250$ and the fact I can carry all my 3D pics and music around = fair price to me. I bought my awesome Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1 camera 699$ in December 2009 and that was the best money spent on a product for a long time.

If this is your first handheld then just buy a load of DS games second hand from amazon, I just bought GTA Chinatown and Zelda spirit tracks for £10 each. Here are some games I would recommend from personal experience:

New Super Mario Brothers
Mario 64
Mario Kart
GTA Chinatown
Mario and Luigi

Thats just scratching the surface.

I less than Three my 3DS as well, but I beat it because it has no games worth playing. April is going by so slow.
