I will get it only when good number of games that I am interested are announced that are only playable on New 3DS and not old one. This time, I am going with Japanese import either way since I need me some new Japanese stuff from Ninty ;)

Also, if I got EU model, my Nintendo Network account won't work on it, considering Nintendo only allows linking account to 1 Wii U and 1 system from 3DS family.

Well I'm not into the whole import games and whatnot, so I don't have a reason not to get it. I hope the Wii U doesn't get a new model! I really want one this year!

If Nintendo made new Wii U model, it would not do good for the company. Even the current model is not doing best, but thankfully, sales did increase and many good upcomming games are gonna be released next year.

Nintendo made New 3DS because old one sold really good. Nintendo did same thing from GBC when thry jumped onto GBA. History is repeating, nothing new.

Original GB was relevant for a decade. Sure it had alternative models but you could play ALL games on first model ever made for 10 years. Then GBC came and only 3 years later, GBA was released.

Original DS was relevant for about 7 years. Sure it had alternative models like DSi but you could play ALL DS games on Original one except that some features in-games might not function in DSi enhanced games. Then came 3DS and it didn't last very long and is getting replaced.

I was hoping they would announce a Rosalina outfit since they have Peach and Daisy, but not yet it seems.

Maybe it will be an outfit for Jeanne, since she has her hair cover her right eye, just like Rosalina.

The game looks dope though. I probably can't get it for release though and I'm already going to be far too occupied with Hyrule Warriors and Smash 3DS (and Smash Wii U soon after).

If that isn't changed soon, I might not even bother purchasing a wiiu, because my ID is locked on my brothers U and I can't just transfer the 1 ID :?

I'd recommend getting Mario 3D world, its a pretty fun game.

I was going to buy that along side my Wii U but Tropical Freeze seems more what I want.

Platinum can expect me to buy this day one. 2 player online co-op and competetive, alternate costumes which aren't just for show, and actually have new powerups, and an incredible story. Seriously I hope all Wii U owners consider this, I want this game to sell good.
