I want to be enthusiastic about 3DS. After all, the DS had plenty of games that were relevant to my interests. But...

* I probably won't buy it around launch unless I see a game or two that justifies the price. (I almost never purchase systems until they've been available for months.)
* An awful lot of planned games are ports, sequels, or enhanced remakes. That's not necessarily bad, but original games are very important.
* If the 3DS can make it easier for companies to publish niche games in English, then I'll be more willing to support it. A bunch of well-regarded RPGs for the DS never got translated, perhaps because the publishers didn't think they'd be profitable. And I only discovered the DS version of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side (a niche game that became one of my recent favorites) because fans translated it.
