Well there are definetly good games on the 3DS you should check out.
First if you are interrested in Pokemon, you can buy either X/Y if you want something new or OR/AS if you want to play online, as most Mega Evolutions in there are not present in XY.
There are some Sonic games too, but I'd have to say they're not really that good;
Sonic Generations... well act 1 and 2 look exactly the same in term of gameplay once you'll beat the first boss.
Sonic Lost World... Actually the best out of the three, it's pretty good even tough the level design is pretty linear compared the wiiU version.
Sonic Boom... Haven't played it but the demo, but it's actually better than the wiiU version, apparently.
And finally, 3D Sonic1 is just Sonic 1, as I heard. It still runs better than it did back on the GBA ;P
Now the console itself is not really that expansive, but if you plan on buying one, I'd suggest immediatly going for a New3DS, this will avoid you having to buy one after N3DS exclusive games come out. I saw a N3DS around 170€, don't exactly know what it makes in $ tough.

I highly suggest doing so. The 3ds is a great handheld with many great games on it. I personally love Lost World and Generations for the 3ds. I haven't had the pleasure of playing ORAS yet, however from the special demo I can tell you that from what I've played so far, is great.
The thing about the 3ds, not only is it a good gaming handheld, but it's also a fun device with many downloadable apps, such as Flipbooks, netflix, PokéDex 3d, and much more.
As I said, I do recommend it highly. If fact I'd go so far as to say you should buy the New 3ds when it comes out (or is it already out? Idk). Basically the new 3ds is an improved stronger version of the 3ds.

It already has two excellent Ace Attorney games (well, one-and-a-half, given one's Professor Layton vs.), it has the only Fire Emblem game I've actually enjoyed, you can play classics as old as Link's Awakening or Ocarina of Time to as recent as friggin' Xenoblade on the go...
Yes.
Yes.

I had a 2DS. It's really great, don't listen to whatever crap it may get.
3D is a mostly useless novelty feature anyway, as you said it's far cheaper (And I believe comes with a decently sized SD card as well) and if Xenoblade or future N3DS titles don't interest you it's a great buy.
It's also far more comfortable to hold than it looks. It's something like the old Gameboys except larger of course. My only complaint would be the smaller screen, after playing on a Vita so long it feels sort of cramped.
If you're wondering why I had and not have one, there's nothing wrong with the system itself. I just needed money to pay medical bills. Sometimes I think about grabbing one again or even getting a more luxurious model of 3DS but it doesn't have enough games for me in honesty.

Oh, What a Flopnik!
If I recall correctly, the sound does become stereophonic when you plug in headphones.

Nope, it sounds perfectly normal when using headphones. But yeah, I forgot about that- the speaker isn't very loud.

Well yeah, if you're in a moderately quiet house, but if you're in a public place and want some faint volume to hear it you're out of luck. Just compared to the Vita at least I can turn it up and hear it without headphones on the bus or something, but the 2DS can't. Which is understandable considering it only has one speaker.

If you're gonna get a 2DS, now is the time. Nintendo is selling them for $60.
