The multiplayer in Kid Icarus is amazing. I recommend you to play it before you finish the story line - you get extra hearts, power-ups and weapons as rewards from online games.

Anyway, Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy is coming to the US and Europe sometime this summer: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/03/22...lease-in-useu/

Wow!! Just tried multi-player and I'm loving it! It's fast paced and so far the rewards are pretty good.

Target just dropped the price of the 3DS to $145.

It's dropped over $100 in price in one year. That's really something.

If Amazon matches this I might have to pick one up. I'm going to want my own once Paper Mario 3DS is out.

Amazon doen't even have the 3DS in stock. Just from 3rd parties. Somebody told me they haven't sold them for months. What's the deal with that? Strange.

EDIT: I just verified that it's been at least a month by checking it at http://camelcamelcamel.com/Nintendo-...uct/B002I08Y4Y

Very weird.

Wow that's an incredible price at Target for a 3DS! Can't believe how much this thing has dropped in price!

Yeah, I'm having to consider picking up a 2nd one for myself (the other one is my kids'). But maybe I'll be better off waiting even longer. The main game I want is Paper Mario 3DS, and that's not out yet. Other games are good too, I'm sure, but that's my favorite series ever (well, I didn't really play the Wii game, because they seemed to be trying to make it a platformer).

Plus there is something comically appropriate about a 3D Paper Mario game.

Although I wouldn't say it was my favourite series, I would definitely say that 'Thousand Year Door' was one of my absolute favourite GameCube games... played through it a few times. Hopefully Paper Mario 3D is much like it.

Haha, just got a good laugh today. One of my friends said that the magazine "Nintendo Power" rated the 3rd party support for the 3DS as "Very Good". Am I missing something here? The last time I checked, it was the polar opposite.

In other notes; I think I will buy the new Mario Tennis game. I loved the original, and the one on the Game-Cube probably is my most played game. I just hope they beef up the Multi-Player. Nintendo usually has really stale Multi-Player, their best is probably Pokemon, and that's still not exactly the best.

Nintendo definitely isn't struggling when it comes to 3rd party developers.
