  8. Yay! Finally old GB/GBA games. I won’t have to rely on Lameboy. ^^

    Ouch at the $300 price tag, I suppose it makes sense, though. It seems like they’re setting this up to (finally) rival the PSP.

    The release dates are interesting. Releasing only a month after Japan makes me think maybe they’re trying for a closer schedule with other countries? It’d be nice. Kinda like GS:DD.

    • There are lots more, like an orange one, a purple one, IIRC a pink one, but apparently at launch only black and blue are available. :<

  12. GBA slot came back, or did I misread that?

    $300 = NO. NO. NO. PLEASE be around 200 dollars! The Victini Funds (my money, no duh) cannot handle the pressure! And I don’t want to do no babysitting! >.< This is like the Wii all over again…

    • You misread. There’s no GBA slot, like there’s no PSX slot on the PSP. You can re-buy the games you’ve already bought (XD) to get them in digital format on your 3DS.

  14. I’m really hoping that it is released in the US for $250. That way, we MIGHT be able to get it in the Australia for $300. (Though I probably wouldn’t be surprised if it was $320-$350 here -__-)
