Has anyone found any roundup articles anywhere citing what they thought might be the must have titles for the 3DS?  I'd like to get at least one, but just looking at the list I'm not seeing anything striking other than maybe Rayman 3D and Super Street Fighter 3D (which I don't think I want).  I figured I would just keep playing Okamiden through there, but I don't know.  Thanks in advance for any help or information.

just wait a few weeks until the more interesting games come out and/or more reviews for the games

There aren't any. That's why I'm not getting one at lauch. 

Yeah, just stick with Okamiden. Those 3ds launch titles don't look appealing.

Pilotwings should be great but unfortunately suffers from mostly being recycled content from Wii Sports Resort and is apparently very short. 
Street Fighter is good, if you haven't played any of the other versions recently released and ditto for Ridge Racer, if you aren't already sick of that franchise. 
 
I'd say the best launch title is Lego Star Wars III.  Fun gameplay, great multiplayer and a ridiculous amount of unlockables.  Only problem there is that there's better versions coming out for other systems.

Have Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition coming with my 3DS order, seems to be the best launch title. Was tempted by Pro Evolution Soccer but that franchise as gone downhill fast and hasn't looked to good. Not sure if it's a launch game in any other regions (it's not in Europe) but that Resident Evil game looked like fun.  
 
But yes, it's what comes out in the coming year that sounds more exciting.

ghost recon seems to be a strategy game, so if you need one of those it seems to be looking good...

i would wait for games to come out after launch, nothing seems like  a must have.

You people are crazy. Unless Paper Mario is not a launch title, then you are correct. But Paper Mario is the shit!

Launch titles? I'll be playing Okamiden on my 3DS, thank you very much. Street Fighter seems to be reliant on the online service not sucking, and I'm not confident about that. I might get Rayman though, because I've somehow managed to never play a Rayman game before.

Samurai Warriors Chronicles is what I'll be getting at launch.

I probably won't get any of them.

Okay, yeah, looked it up. Seems June 2 might be when the actual games you care about start coming out.

Well, my tax return came in and it won't be any cheaper 2 months from now so I am getting it one way or another.  I will probably pick up Rayman 2 and maybe a points card.  The regular DS shop will be active, just not the virtual console titles right?

I'm waiting until actual games start coming out for it before I buy one. This "Launch Window" BS seems a little sketchy to me.

Pokemon Black & White. 
 
Hehhhhh...

So the shop in general won't be avaliable at all until May?  So no dsi ware stuff?  I was under the impression that the VC style titles and new 3dsware stuff would have to wait until May.

It's all about your taste in games.  For me I'm getting Pilotwings Resort, Ridge Racer 3D, and Super Monkey Ball 3D on launch.  If you like the type of games I mentioned, then give them a shot.

Well, Joystiq gave Pilotwings a favorable review...I think I might get Rayman 3D and maybe something else...maybe Pilotwings.

I reserved Pilotwings, cause planes and such.

I'm holding out for some Mario and possibly a price drop.

Dude Super Friggin Monkey Ball is a must get. Plus, within like a month of release you have Mario Kart (dude.), Animal Crossing (hours and hours of playtime there) and PAPER MARIO. I can only imagine how badly my eyes will bleed at the sheer awesomeness of the combination of a 3D world, 2D sprites and an actual 3D screen.  
 
All of those easily justify me spending £197 in Tescos. Plus I get a game for a tenner, so that's win too.

I was looking at the dates of release and it seems even the store I work at doesn't have dates for a lot of the games i look forward to most.  Super Mario 3D, Paper Mario, Starfox 64, Mario Kart 3D, etc were listed as 8/02 which i have to assume that's a place holder because who in their right mind would release all those games at once.
 
Anyway, I'm gonna pick up Samurai Warriors (Loved the PS2 versions when i was younger) and Rayman 3D ( which I hear is a great game though I never played it. )
 
Pretty sure those 2 games can hold me over until the online function opens up. Then I can get on board the download express.

I have no idea what to buy. I may just play the AR-card games. I was thinking Rayman maybe. Pilotwings, just because I can get myself Club Nintendo Points. Or Super Monkey ball.

First thing I'd be looking for is a replacement battery.

I've literally been waiting on the 3DS as my DS Lite has been on the brink for a while and finally broke completely a few weeks back. kind of treating it as an upgrade, considered getting an XL instead even. So for now I'm just catching up on some DS games I haven't been able to enjoy properly/new pokemon. the first 3DS title I actually get will probably be OoT. Thought I better pre order as I'm not sure how easily these things are going to be to get hold of in the next few months, knowing nintendo is super slow at shipping hardware usually.
