So yeah, Nov. 22, a.k.a. N-DAY -- Super Mario 3D World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. It's the Japanese Super Famicon launch all over again! Both games look FANTASTIC!

Which begs the question: Which are you playing first?

I... I'll let you guys answer the question first, because I have no idea!
 
I forget that America isn't the center of the universe sometimes.

Mario 3DWorld the night before on the eShop and Link Between Worlds on the 22 with my awesome new 3DS XL! Sounds like a kick ass plan to me!
 
That all depends on if my wife is immediately available to play SM3DW. If not, then ALBW it is!

But honestly, I'm equally excited about both.
 
Mario.

More excited about it because EAD Tokyo is without match to me and it's also on the big system.

I love the 3DS and Zelda will be excellent but playing Mario Off Tv can't be put on the backburner.

Both have had some amazing trailers of late though.

The worst part personally is owning a NA 3DS and European Wii U. So basically I get Super Mario 3D World a week later AND Bravely Default next year. Could be better.

SM3D World, because I don't own a 3DS.

Whoa, believe it or not you're kinda a rare breed 'round here haha

Mario 3D World because I'll have money by then to buy Wii U games lol. When I get enough time in Pokemon, then Link Between Worlds will be purchased.
 
It's going to feel so weird walking around that same but slightly different Hyrule 20+ years after Link to the Past. I still can't navigate backwards Hyrule in OoT Master Quest.
 
I am playing Super Mario 3d World first. I will play A Link Between Worlds afterwards. It will be the opposite for my little brother. Zelda is his favorite franchise and he does not own a Wii U yet anyways,
 
Actually, I have the question to my own thread: I'll still be playing Pokemon Y, lol. These guys aren't going to IV-breed/EV-train themselves, y'know!

I still need to finish GTAV, TW101, Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3 and Amnesia: AMfP, too.

And 100% Puppeteer and TLoU.

And get the MGRR DLC.

Oh, and finish the last stretch of Fire Emblem Awakening and Luigi's Mansion 2.

it all hinges on whether I own a Wii U by then or not. Mario takes precedence, just prefer that type of game. Both look really fun
 
I don't have either console, but there is a possibility i'll buy a WiiU bundled with Mario, if they'll have one at a decent price.
Not interested in portable games.
 
Well they both come out on a Friday, so if I pick them up on my way home, probably Mario since I'll play it with my brother when I get home from work. Since I work weekends though, I'll probably spend more time playing ALBW.
 
A Link Between Worlds I have to play now.

Mario 3D World I'll probably put on the Christmas list. That'll be the big thing for me to get excited for, as far as presents go.
 
3D World, because I just bought a Zelda game and I want to throw the Wii U as much support as I can. Zelda will be purchased shortly afterward, though.
