So, release day here in the states is a couple days away. As the days count down, I find myself stuck on what games I am going to pick up to compliment the new console. So, I look to you, my GiantBomb community to see what you guys are picking up (game wise, although peripheral's are accepted if cool enough) along with your 3DS.
For me, I know Street Fighter is a definite purchase, but I don't know what else to get. So far, the Dynasty Warriors game is the only other one that looks decent to me, but what do you guys think?
Nintendo 3DS
Platform »
The Nintendo 3DS is a portable game console produced by Nintendo. The handheld features stereoscopic 3D technology that doesn't require glasses. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011 and in North America on March 27, 2011.
What are you picking up on release day?
I pre-ordered Street Fighter with my black 3DS.
Street Fighter and Pokemon white I'm still in the middle of should hold me off till Devil Survivor: Overclocked.
I somehow missed completely that Rayman was coming out too, so I might try to budget that in there too.
Well im getting :-
Rayman
Splinter cell
(I actually have these right now !!)
Super street fighter 4
Super monkey ball
Ridge racer
Pro evo soccer
Pilot wings
Nintendogs
Lego star was 3
Samurai Warriors chronicles
Ghost recon shadow wars
I know its a bit much and i wasnt really looking forward to the 3ds untill a few weeks ago then this week i went mad and pre orderd nearly all the games coming out on friday.
I migth go open splinter cell and rayman and look at them
I have it sitting on my desk here. Beginning to regret it though, according to several review sites, Ubisoft has held back reviews for most of their games and Rayman is apparently one of the worst games on the system. All their games are very sloppy ports and the reviewers were really criticizing them for holding back the reviews. Basically cheating the consumers."

Samurai Warriors is getting pretty bad reviews too (as expected).

the only game i would see myself playing maybe a month from now is SSF4
Weakest launch game line up I've seen in a long time, but in its defence it is new tech so that may have factored in.
Not picking one up, see no reason to. Have lots of console games to catch up on anywho

My 3DS is on it's way (will probably get it delivered tomorrow) and have Super Street Fight IV 3D Edition coming along with it. Might also pick up one or two extra DS games on the cheap in the coming weeks. Especially considering I have the Phoenix Wright series which are the Japanese versions and I can't play them on the 3DS.

Here's the info on it. Apparently the frame rate is terrible and the 3D effects are broken.
Thanks for this. That saves me a couple bucks. I think I'll just stick to Super Street Fighter and maybe the KOEI game if I can't find anything else. Who knows, maybe I'll just stick to one and get another when they come out." @LordAndrew said:

" Pilotwings Resort, SSFIV 3D, and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars (a game which looks like it might be really good, but everyone seems to be overlooking). "
Dude, good move. It's made by fellow Brit and X-Com developer Julian Gollop.
I was considering rayman but now not so much. I dont have a DS and thats the only way im justifying 250 for this. so ill probably just get pokemon.
Pokemon White, Super Scribblenauts & Okamiden
Because I sold my DS Lite before those released. *sniff*
Okay. Rayman might be a dud, but Super Street Fighter IV is getting great reviews. I'll probably get Street Fighter. And Pilotwings maybe? I haven't looked at the reviews for that one yet.
Nothing, never will, some people think it's cool, i can't imagine a worse move when buying software than getting it on release day.
As lame as it sounds, The Sims 3 is probably going to be what I get on launch day. SSFIV is better played in other formats so I'm not interested in that and all the other games seem just ok so I'll get the title that will give me hours of compulsive running on a treadmill to become an MVP athlete :P
Yeah. It looks like a pretty natural evolution from the previous handheld game he worked on, Rebelstar: Tactical Command, which was a great turn-based strategy game (though not nearly as mindblowing as X-Com was...and remains).
