so, i'm a little stir-crazy and my computer is on the fritz, my phone is underpowered and i'm generally tired of emulating games on lackluster devices.

I would say do nothing until the NX is unveiled proper.

I mean. If you get 3DS, then you will be able to play:
Spirit Tracks
Phantom Hourglass
Links Awakening
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Seasons
Ocarina of Time
Majoras Mask
Zelda 1
Zelda 2
A Link to the Past
A Link Between Worlds

Plus, the 3DS has a fantastic library besides Zelda. You can play all of your DS games as well. Plus you can play almost every Wii U game on 3DS too

If you really want a this-gen handheld system, I say go for a 2DS instead of a 3DS. It's cheaper

Not all the games do well on the 3DS or 2DS. A few need the N3DS to play well.

Since this is in WoZ im assuming youre just meaning Zelda games here.

Get a 2ds/3ds... you can play OoT3D, MM3D, ALBW, TFH, PH and ST on hardcopy. You can download LoZ, AoL, OoX and LA... so job done. You can play most Zelda games on 3ds/2ds

I agree, there are so many more games you have available to you with the 3ds. I'm pretty sure you can play all of these games on the 2ds, they are going for 80$ I think. If you aren't in a rush you could wait until March for the NX. I'm assuming you could get all of the games digitally for NX as well.

3ds was so worth it for the new games, plus hey you could always get a Zelda edition 3ds

Seriously I sold so many things for my 3ds and it's the most consistently played and loved handheld I've ever owned. Go for it

I wouldn't download any games as they are almost always full price I would just get them second hand for much cheaper.

 

[Dio]

Get an Xbox with some CoD on it. Nintendo's for babies.

 

[MrPsychoSlayer]

You would be able to get the two DS games for cheap, but the 3DS allows for more to play, in general.

 

[Moonstone]

I agree with Aidans. Sell what you don't want, but buy the games used for a better deal. Plus if you get the games from Gamestop and find you don't really like them as much as you thought, you can return it after a week for a full refund. Unless they've changed their policy. Make sure to ask.

A 3DS can already play PH and ST.
