The more and more time goes by, the more and more I think that Nintendo was insane for allowing their brands to get so confused (3DS/Wii U) among the masses. They should have just named this handheld something different entirely like how Sony named the PSP2 the Vita.
This thread is making it very difficult to resist a 3DS/OoT combo, though...

Playing devil's advocate, I like how the 3DS name is a play on it being the third DS.Darryl said:

Called my Wal Mart, like some other people in this thread, and of course encountered complete dumbasses. I suppose that's a bit harsh, but she actually told me her computer doesn't even list Zelda as games they "can't sell", that was limited to Dungeon Seige III (which she kept referencing, as if that would do.. .. . . ... ....) and some other game I don't recall because I'm blinded by Ocarina tunnel vision fury. I told her I'd just call back later and find out..
Granted I've had this problem almost every time I've resorted to Wal Mart (IE I want it now, or whatever) this often happens. FF XIII was a cluster fuck.. I actually went home that night with nadda. It was just in a box..

This actually just pisses me off even more. I further (aside from no incentive) didn't order from Amazon because at checkout I saw no "release day shipping", or even an indication that it would arrive on -Monday- (I could PAY for 1 day, did Amazon do away with release day shipping while I was afk for a month or two?). To see it later be shipped is just. . .

DS lite

I think it's more that the DS/DS lite were more or less the same system, most of the same features and they all played the same software. Same for DSi/DSi XL being the "second" DS, though the upgrade mattered very little in the end outside of DSiware and foreshadowing the regional lockout of the 3DS.JordanLMiller said:

I wasn't going to spell it out because I thought that would insult people's intelligence *sigh*. My mistake. DS-->DSi-->3DS. Just like their were three Game Boys.

My order on Amazon says shipping soon, maybe I'll get it earlier than I thought.

The 3D alone in this game ... damn, I just can't get over how much more alive the world feels. It's done much more tactfully than say, Rayman 3D which was such a cheap rush job by comparison. It makes me excited for the future of the system, when you actually play a game where 3D is actually built around instead of just ported.
I have to imagine they worked this game scene by scene with 3D, since it has none of that headache inducing quality of Rayman. It's so smooth.

I enjoyed Ridge Racer 3DS more than Pilotwings or the Tom Clsncy game people recommended. I'd get Ridge Racer with Zelda if I was taking advantage of that 50% offer.

I've spent an unhealthy amount of time on this today. its just passed 4am here in the UK...
The water temple is much more enjoyable this time around. The whole game makes the N64 version look so dated... and it already was.
I like how in the future,
It's moreish, I just haven't been able to put it down. The mere framerate boost and imoroved modelling would have been nice enough, but I think some of the extra texture work is great too.. there's a room in the forest temple that can be rotated, and there's a subtle clue in the floor textures with scuff marks on the ground illustrating where it was moved before, but subtle enough to not be in your face. Little details like that are great. The boss challenge stuff posted above sounds great too.
This overhaul has got me replaying this properly, where the gamecube and VC releases couldn't. I'm loving the upgrade. Grezzo have delivered IMO!

I like how in the future,
the shop signs on the castle town market buildings transfer to buildings in kakariko village along with their owners. Ganondorf's tower looks a billion times better than it does on the n64.. all building interiors are much improved, the textures allow for much cooler details and some rooms have elements and camera angles clearly intended for the 3d. I spotted a portrait of ganondorf in ingo's room in lon lon ranch, and there appears to be a cuckoo feed rota in the room before that. The cave paintings in the goron caves are cool too, and the Ice Cavern was 100% improved. The touch screen inventory and gear menus are so much better than the old menus.. so convenient! The 3ds' notes app and browser have come in handy as well.

As usual you have to wait to find the right associate that will actually take the time to look in the appropriate places for new shipments. I called back later, talked to a lovely (British?) lady named Dawn who is holding one of the whole five copies that were sent to this Wal Mart in a rural location...

Dropping in my local Best Buy at 10am tomorrow to get my copy. I'll have to end up waiting two hours to register it, however.

Wait, RE Mercenaries comes out on the 28th? I might just hold onto whatever my second title is at Best Buy and return/swap it for RE in a few weeks.

Target is thus
$40 + $20 = $60
Best Buy is thus
$40 + $40 = $80 (-$25) = $55
The Target deal saves you money upfront but the Best Buy deal is better in the end, as it saves you an extra $5 total, as long as you consider the gift card's value in the entire purchase.
Me, I have $10 worth of RZ certificates to burn anyway, so Best Buy is the way I'm going.

And I'm back home and I see this thread grew a lot.
We made it to 46 pages (50pp) before it launched in America! And we couldn't have done it without breaking the street date!
