Thank you gentlemen (I wrote the first email). I'll pick up Xenoblade Chronicles, Retro Challenge, and Crimson Shroud soon. I'll wait for Bravely Second to get started with that franchise.
Since I got the New 3DS in August, I've been mostly playing New Leaf, Legend of Zelda, Ghost & Goblins, Castlevania, and Metroid. But, I have about 30 games so far (a mixture of old and new), and I'll have more time to play in the spring and summer.
Also, good advice on the Vita. I should put that money towards a PC and play western RPGs and shooters on that. I'll keep my handheld gaming with Nintendo.
