    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?

    I've never played a Rayman game before, so I've been thinking about getting Rayman 3D.

    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.

    SSFIV. I've never played a Street Fighter game before and nothing else looks like it'll be any better, so I'm going with that. I'm actually really excited.

    SSF4, PIlotwings and Monkey Ball for sure. 
     
    Waiting on more reviews for Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, Rayman 3D, and Ridge Racer. 
     
    I'll probably get steel diver and bust a move when they're cheaper/used.

    Pilotwings Resort, Super Monkey Ball 3D, and Ridge Racer 3D for sure.  Going to wait on reviews for the other games to see if I want to pick them up or not.

    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).

    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).

    Ah thats a shame, i was opting in purchasing rayman, the other games dont really interest me and i can see myself playing it for a day then trading it 
     
    the only game i would see myself playing maybe a month from now is SSF4

    A lot of people seem to think Rayman will be good.  I hadn't even given that one a glance.  I'll have to look into it.  While I am currently playing Pokemon black and Okamiden, I'd like to have 2 3DS games to goof around with.  One being SF and the other a mystery still.

    Some regular-ass DS games probably. None of the 3DS titles interest me yet. Waiting for a QL of some more like Ghost Recon before I buy any 3DS games.

    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

    So Ubisoft has managed to fuck up Rayman 2, again? Ugh. I'll keep an eye out for the reviews then. When are they supposed to go up, 3DS launch day?

    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.

    Dude, good move. It's made by fellow Brit and X-Com developer Julian Gollop.

    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.

    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).
