I haven’t paid much attention to the 3DS since I’ve learned to pretty much wait for the second revision when it comes to Nintendo handhelds.  So, now that the 3DS XL is out, will I get one?

Well, I haven’t really been playing with my handheld systems much lately anyway.  I’ve bought a whole bunch of puzzle and RPG games for my DS, but haven’t really put much time into them since I just don’t find myself in situations where I think “Hey, may as well pull out my DS…”  Given the opportunity, I’d rather play something on the PC or 360 instead.

Really, it depends on whether there are any must-have games on it.  And looking over the list of games released so far…not really.  That’s not to say there aren’t any good games for it, there are certainly ones that I would play if I had infinite time to do so, but nothing really stands out as gotta-have-this-and-it’s-only-on-3DS.

So no, no 3D for me.  And pretty much the same reasoning goes for the Vita as well, as it’s not even really about the 3D capabilities.  I’ve got too damn many consoles and too little time to worry about trying to play everything under the sun.
