3DS Launch Games

[Bulerias]

What are you guys getting for launch? Turns out my pick-ups are a little higher in number than I thought they would be, thanks to Amazon's great deals ($10 with each game pre-order, $25 with 3DS pre-order).

Super Street Fighter IV
Rayman 3D
Ridge Racer 3D
Pilotwings Resort

Pilotwings Resort
Steel Diver (I'm feeling like this isn't really a good choice, which is too bad. The game looked really interesting to me but the amount of content... it's even worse then Pilotwings in amount of content.)
Either Super Street Fighter IV or Nintendogs + Cats... Undecided as of now.

Not getting it at launch. None of the launch titles hold my attention.

Street Fighter >>>>>>>> Nintendogs

I would get all four if I could, but in Canada nobody has any 3DS game deals like Amazon and Toys R' Us. The only deal I have found is Best Buy offering $10 off if you buy two games. Nothing compares to that Amazon.com deal... I don't enjoy the fighting genre much so it boils down to Nintendogs probably. Best Buy here is having a demo event tomorrow with all the games so maybe I'll change my mind.

Also, interesting swap out for Ridge Racer instead of Nintendogs. Ridge Racer seems to be a ridiculous $40 iOS port. Not saying Nintendogs has amazing gameplay or anything but at least Nintendogs will be Nintendo polished.

I got it for $19.99 + $10 credit thanks to Amazon promotions, and also:

How's Rayman 3D anyway? It looks like the only game that'd partially interest me, but then I haven't played a Rayman game since Rayman 2 on the N64.

Rayman 3D is a port of the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2, actually. Apparently it's not a bad port... lots of bad reviews simply because it lacks added content, though, and apparently there are some frame drops here and there.

Just a question- why in the world would you pay $30 for PilotWings Resort?
I played the game at a BestBuy, and it was ridiculously pointless in the "flying around the island mode", and the other modes were just plain too easy.

I don't have enough money to buy a game with my 3ds on release date. They say that the 3ds's features alone is more fun than the games.

if it isn't like the 64 version, i'm sad.
if it's like the 64 version, the demo was probably a demo, not the "actual" game. which would have scoring and goals/challenges and such. + free flight mode, if you feel the need. originally, pilotwings 64 was more of a tech demo of the 3d power of the 64, i guess.. but more of a game than, say, yoshi's touch and go. really hope it isn't just a flashy tech demo like that.

It had all the scoring and stuff, it just felt like way too much of a "if you're trying to lose and also happen to have noodles for fingers, you might still win" game from the little I played.

I wouldn't, which is why I'm getting it for $5 thanks to Amazon promotions. Hahaha.

I'm still trying to decide between Nintendogs and Street Fighter as of now. They both look quite fun, but I'm leaning toward Street Fighter!

Good choice. I can't believe how hyped I am for Street Fighter, even after putting so many hours into the 360 version...

I got regular Street Fighter 4 for the Playsation 3 and, to be honest, I never got that into it. I never got used to the strange special attack controls, you know. However, this time around it looks much easier to use, which makes it more appealing in my opinion.

Mine shipped from Amazon and is arriving on Monday.

Tonight at the midnight release me and my friends are having a Pokemon B/W tournament.

I will win for sure, like last time.
