lol me too. I've always wanted to play against somebody on Mario Tennis though, but never found anyone.

So is the 3D just an aesthetic thing, or are they going to make gameplay mechanics around messing with the slider. I'm under the impression that it adds depth to the screen, not necessarily 3D that pops out, which I guess is the only way I could see how that would work.

[Mixability]

With the health warnings issued for it, no way I'm letting my son play with one.

[IronMaxipad]

So does anyone have a 3DS? The new mario kart is the sons. Best in the series and it runs at 60 fps.

I have one, I'm probably gonna get Mario kart and 3D Land with gift cards from Christmas in a few weeks.

3ds kicks some serious ass. I turn the 3d to about 65% and personally have no problems with my eyes hurting or anything like that, even after binge playing for hours. Nothing is quite like smoking some bud and playing 3D zelda or mario.

Bestbuy is having a buy 2 get 1 free for games 29.99 and up right now.

You can get those 2 and then get something like Zelda OoT 3d or Star Fox 64 free.
