I ordered a Cosmos Black 3DS from the Dick Smith website.

$348 and comes with a stylus pack, screen protectors, car charger and Ghost Recon included in that price.

Thinking about picking up Street Fighter, Steel Diver and Pilotwings as well, although I didn't see Pilotwings or Steel Diver being sold.

I'm addicted to handheld gaming again, loving my 3DS!

Been playing Ghost Recon 3D, Pokemon Black, Super Scribblenauts and TrackMania DS.

Probably going to pick up SSFIV 3D and Ridge Racer 3D tomorrow.

Just did the system update, aside from the new 3D video. Any other info on changes?

So, sorry to bring up such an old thread but... better than starting a new one?

Anyway, I got a 3DS (Zelda 25th anniversary edition) with Ocarina of Time yesterday, and was wondering what else people would recommend picking up? (Aside from the obvious Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D etc).
