    Well, excitebike is pretty cool, and the 3d effects are great. I can't wait to see more stuff like this.

    However, I hate how Nintendo always chooses to reissue inferior versions of their older games. They did it before when they released the inferior NES version of Donkey Kong for the GBA, and they opted to base the Excitebike remake on the inferior us NES port. Vs. Excitebike for the famicom disk system is superior to the NES version in nearly every aspect. (it's even got a 2 player vs mode!) And its completely in English. That game seriously needs a US release, and no translation would be necessary. I haven't had a wii in a few years, so I don't know for sure, but I'm doubtful it made it's way to the virtual console.

    Not much to choose from yet but they already announced Zelda DX being right around the corner.
    More 3d capable nes/snes classics would be an awesome addition.
    Yoshi's Island, Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country Trilogy in 3D...

    I enjoyed downloading the E3 trailers from the eShop. It's the only way to see the upcoming 3DS games in actual 3D. I have to say, the Mario Kart game has the best 3D effects I've seen on the 3DS. Absolutely incredible! Of course the Mario game looks cool as well.

    Where are the downloadable demos of current 3DS retail games?

    I want to try Steel Diver and Dream Trigger.

    When will we be able to get Netflix? That was part of what sold me on the 3DS in the first place.
    I only need 2 more NES games (US)!

    Weren't they going to add 3D to the old games? Wasn't that the point?
    Only Nes and SuperNes games are being ported to the hardware and getting the 3D enhancement.

    All TurboGrafx-16, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Gear releases on the Virtual Console for the 3DS are emulated and can only output a 2D image.

    But I can't complain... oh wait.
    Yes, Excitebike is loud as hell....why can't all the games be like that? Starfox 64 E3 trailers looks sick in 3D....

    Interesting. SO, if Excitebike is actually loud ... that means that for some reason all the software to date doesn't tell the 3DS to output audio at the maximum volume.

    One of my biggest complaints about the system is the strangely low volume on all of the games I've played. I'll have to give Excitebike a listen.
