Are you getting and New 3DS?

If you are and don't have a charger for it don't bother paying for a whole new charger. There is at least one company making a USB cable that fits your 3DS for 3 or 4 bucks. Then you can use any USB Charger you might have lying around (I have at least 5) to charge your 3DS.

That's from the Canadian Amazon site. US pricing is probably cheaper.

Of course if you already have a 3DS and didn't trade or sell it you'll still have a charger so you don't need to worry.

I want to say yes but it seems the gaming industry is throwing everything i like at me in special says that I don't think I'll have the money to get them all.

I do want Xenoblade Chronicles 3D if only not to make the mistake with the Wii version.

The mistake I made was selling my preordered version of Xenoblade Chronicles but 140 bucks is 140 bucks.

There a couple of things that might push me in the direction of picking up the Super 3DS.

If they introduce an SNES virtual console on the Super 3DS. If they actually release the normal sized model. Most importantly though, if my godson is bold enough to ask for a 3DS.

The regular size new 3ds would still be too small for me. Trying to play Persona Q on my launch system is killing my eyes and giving me headaches so yeah I need the biggest possible screen.

From what I understand, the regular Super 3DS has a larger screen. Maybe not as big as the XL versions, but definitely bigger.

I will probably get one but not for a while. I just don't see the need to jump on it and there really is no new game that I have to play that requires it so I'll put it off for a bit.

So just buy one of those cables and you can charge the new one on any USB charger

i looked all over for it yesterday. I have to charge both my damn 3DS's now to do the system transfer -- or at least charge one, and then plug the other in.

Did you see those new Charging Cradles Nintendo is coming out with? Those don't actually come with a power adapter either. Someitmes I can't help but wonder about Nintendo and the decisions they make.

There's not any New 3DS exclusive games right now that would make me want to get a New 3DS. However, if Capcom would finish, rework, and release Mega Man Legends 3 on the New 3DS, I'd buy one instantly.
