does this console even have 20 games?

last time I read everyone was abandoning this thing.

its 10 game boy advance virtual console and 10 nes virtual console.....

Pay again for games you still own or have owned...

I'd only say this is a good deal IF you haven't played these games and are only going to dump all your gaming cash into it.

...then again, you could just get an emulator and get all those games for FREE.

nice price drop but still not interested with the PSP2 coming soon.

nintendo should have a bundle with 3ds games included for 169.99. my kid has one, he's happy with it.

Yeah, but aren't they in 3D? Even the old games? I'm still foggy on this.

So what would stop me from buying this thing now, register to get my free games, and then price match when the price drops in a few weeks?

I'm seriously thinking about getting one. The one thing holding me back now is the battery life. How bad is it Tig?

It's pretty hard to get a straight answer here from guys twice your sons age

It actually kind of ticks me off that it is dropping to $150 in Japan I believe?

I don't understand how they would be in 3D? These old NES and GBA games? Although admittedly all that I understand about the 3DS at this stage is that it gave me a minor headache after playing it for 5 minutes or so in a Best Buy.

Do 3DS games work on a normal DS? I doubt it, but I might wanna pick up a few of these titles, but I'm definitely not buying a whole new system to do it.

Well I know when they re-released Excite Bike on the 3DS eShop recently it was in 3D.

Of course not. But DS games work in the 3DS.

So are these re-releases then? I'm just confused I guess. Perhaps at this point I'm wondering what the 3D concept is at its core.
