Tempting, but I kinda want an XL and was planning on getting Fire Emblem in physical form. Plus, would pre-ordering this at GameStop still be eligible for the artbook?

Does anyone know what the "two player co-op gameplay" entails? I've searched around, but all I can find is info about how you can import your friends' created characters to play with. That's not "co-op" to me. :/

This was one of only two reasons I would buy a 3DS, so it looks like I'm gonna buy it.

The gamestop artbook I am assuming is like all the recent 3ds releases bundled with the game in a limited edition with a outer box. If thats whats included in this bundle I might actually buy this.

The 3DS XL doesn't really even compare to the original size. At least for me, once I heard the screens were almost double the sizes, I needed to get one, especially because of me owning a DSi XL (which I DIDN'T buy for the screen size that time). The colors turned me off, and then I saw GameStop was selling a white/pink one, which attracted me because of it being mostly white (and I figured the pink coloring is an interesting accent for a guy). I picked it up and they gave me $70 for my flame red original 3DS, but that deal is beside the point...

If you don't already have a Nintendo 3DS, SPEND EXTRA and buy the 3DS XL. The 3D looks terrible anyway, but the screen-jumping effects work just a bit better because of the XL's larger screens. The room for your hands to play with feels comfortable -- I know for me, my hands felt scrunched when I would play my flame red original because of the body being small. And if you're a Pokémon fan, you're going to want it when Versions X and Y release in October.

This is kind of risky, what if I don't like the game (which is highly unlikely), then I'll be stuck with it on my 3DS with it forever! Surprised

But seriously, this is really awesome.
