Nintendo 3DS revealed

[magus]

guys do you think this will have regional lock?

[Himu]

wii's upcoming lineup looks better than the upcoming ps3/360 lineup imo.

well ps3/360 upcoming lineup looks like this
(Image removed from quote.)

i think at this point even the ds/psp lineup looks better than the upcoming ps3/360 lineup

:'(

On one hand I like FPS games. On the other hand I hate this dudebro shit going on.

But then I like MW series and it is just full of dudebro shit (rescuing Price from The Gulag)...

what is going on with gaming?!?

I like fpses too. Heck, I love MW2.

[Himu]

guys do you think this will have regional lock?

pretty much confirmed, nintendo is a regional locking whore

Uhhhh it makes no sense to region lock portable systems.

[Eel O'Brian]

you have people participating in threads talking about the backlog of games they bought but haven't played, but days later they're in another thread going BAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE FOR ME TO PLAY IT'S ALL SHOOTERS AND BOO HOO HOO *SNUFFLE*

Eel O'Brian

Fuck those assholes. This generation is fucking badass on all platforms.

Crackdown 2

Mafia II

Fallout New Vegas

Dead Space 2

LittleBigPlanet 2 (I am undecided on this one  )

Steam Holiday Sale

and a bunch of other stuff i probably won't even have time to finish but will play anyway

slime

me

real gamers without teary eyes

[magus]

guys do you think this will have regional lock?

pretty much confirmed, nintendo is a regional locking whore

DSi games are regional locked
this is nintendo,none of the things they do have sense

[Himu]

are ALL dsi games locked

because that goes against the idea of portability

[magus]

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/86668-DSi-Region-Locked

In a statement to CVG, Nintendo offers some explanation for the region lock. "DSi embeds net communication functionality within itself, and we are intending to provide net services specifically tailored for each region."

oh man we are fucked!

[Himu]

So you can't import shit?

god

[Himu]

I haven't pirated a ds game. I don't even have a flash cart. But i've been considering importing some games that have zero chance of making it here like Saga 2.

[Eel O'Brian]

so what are the odds on 3DS coming out this year?

[magus]

Nothing is yet known but based on NCL region locking DSi-only software and becoming increasingly aware of the global market release schedule it's becoming very likely.

Also, when is the last time you imported a Japanese DS game? I'm sure a majority of you here just pirate the damn games.

yes you are right
let me correct my statement

*ahem*
"
oh man we EURO are fucked"

[cool breeze]

I know it's from a few pagers back, but I don't think aiming of controlling the camera on the 3DS is going to be as big a problem as it is on the PSP.  There is the touch screen, which I have no problem with after the DS and ipod touch games, and there is the motion stuff.  I think it has both accel and gyro, which would be the same as the new iphone and wii motion plus.

Fuck those assholes. This generation is fucking badass on all platforms.

Yeah, every gen is always better than the last.  All the whining is mostly coming from Japtards like Himu and Bebpo.  Gaming sucked to them because the Japs just haven't kept up this gen and are reduced to making low budget Wii or handheld games.  

i think at this point even the ds/psp lineup looks better than the upcoming ps3/360 lineup

Of course it does. Like I said, handheld gaming future. Real games. No bullshit, no waggle, no generic bro gamer fragfests.

Not this bullshit again, ffs.  Japatards like you are why Japanese devs are increasingly becoming irrelevant.  Enjoy playing all JRPGS in the future on your 3 inch screen.  

[Himu]

DAMN BEATEN BY HIMURO
 

[Smooth Groove]

Still better than Cooking Mama and Monster Hunter.

Oh you mean the same Wii and DS that kicked the shit out of every other console in terms of sales?

And aren't you a PC gamer? Talk about being irrelevant

[Himu]

like all jrpgs dont have the same characters himumu

You're talking about story. In terms of gameplay, jrpgs are among, if not the most varied genre.

[Beezy]

No one thinks Nintendo would try to do a worldwide launch for the 3DS?

[Smooth Groove]

sales=quality?

Also, strong sales for those platforms don't even contradict what I'm saying.  Japs are irrelevant this gen, i.e. PS3/360.  

[Himu]

No one thinks Nintendo would try to do a worldwide launch for the 3DS?

They will.

[cool breeze]

also, Kid Icarus looks awesome.  I like that it looks like a rail shooter now and a lot less like the original games. 

[Smooth Groove]

shooters

japwimps

[cool breeze]

There should be a countdown until Capcom announces Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS

No one thinks Nintendo would try to do a worldwide launch for the 3DS?

I think they might if only because they have some movie deals going on.  They'll probably have a health amount of 3D video content along with games.

[Himu]

rail shooters

the best type of shooter

[Smooth Groove]

When will Gamestop take 3DS preorders?

[tiesto]

like all jrpgs dont have the same characters himumu

They don't, not really. But to most non fans I guess seeing a few characters with spiky hair = every character is the same. Come out to where I live, it'll blow your mind. Lots of spiky hair here

Smooth: Wii/DS/PSP is still a part of this gen regardless of their graphical capabilities. And what Japanese devs lack in graphic capability (then again, FF13 looked awesome, as did VC and plenty of other Japanese HD games), they still make up for in originality, something many big budget American devs fail to grasp... OH LOOK DUR ANOTHER DUDEBRO SHOOTER!

Back to the OT. I'm just hoping the 3DS is once again region-free.

[Himu]

yeah i like rail shooters too

too bad there's no real quality rail shooter out there on par with half-life or whatever

Panzer Dragoon Zwei.

I'm glad that rail shooters seem to be making a comeback. Thanks Nintendo! We've got S&P2, Starfox AND Kid Icarus.

[Eel O'Brian]

sales talk is the last desperate gasp of a failed argument

[cool breeze]

I want a new Space Harrier on the 3DS

Space Harrier music is the best

[Great Rumbler]

yeah i like rail shooters too

too bad there's no real quality rail shooter out there on par with half-life or whatever

Half-Life isn't a rail shooter...

[Himu]

Dude...new Space Harrier would be the shit.

Oh right, I forgot! Afterburner: Climax

SHIT HAWT

YEAR OF THE RAIL SHOOTER THE ONLY SHOOTER THAT MATTERS

yeah i like rail shooters too

too bad there's no real quality rail shooter out there on par with half-life or whatever

Half-Life isn't a rail shooter...

He said on par.

[archie4208]

Shooters

Grindan

There is room for both. 

[tiesto]

yeah i like rail shooters too

too bad there's no real quality rail shooter out there on par with half-life or whatever

Panzer Dragoon Zwei.

I'm glad that rail shooters seem to be making a comeback. Thanks Nintendo! We've got S&P2, Starfox AND Kid Icarus.

Though it's Ubisoft, Child of Eden too

New Panzer Dragoon on 3DS would be HAWT. Or even a PD1/2 remake. I still haven't played the first 2.

New Panzer Dragoon on 3ds would be amazing.

Hopefully with Nintendo reviving the rail shooter genre, Sega will revisit their classes like Space Harrier and Panzer. Or heck, a new rail shooter.

I forgot about Child of Eden. It's not Ubisoft, it's Q! More Jap devs making awesome.

[Eel O'Brian]

i want at least a couple of good fps games, those are well suited to 3D environments since you're looking through your character's eyes

i don't even mind if they're ports

timesplitters 3D

[cubicle47b]

If I had to guess I'd go with a December Japan launch with the US getting it next March.  I'm excited, hopefully we get a Wars game within the first year.  Days of Ruin maps are my material of choice while on the can.

[Himu]

wait have you played Orta? Panzer 1 is in Orta as an unlockable

[Bebpo]

Also, small point but, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT IN DSi!? *nerd rage*

To test if they could secretly release a region-locked portable and get away with it.


Will be waiting very, very patiently for 3DS flashcards to get around the region lock bullshit that is sure to be in the 3DS.

Yeah, I beat Orta last year, but for some reason the first game never unlocked for me

OMG THAT WOULD ROCK.  EXCITED NOW!!!!

[BlueTsunami]

Man, I think Kid Icarus looks like poopy butts. Rail Shooters with semi pretty - semi ugly environments. Point with the Stylus and shoot . It looks as though its trying to maximize the 3D usage but when time moves on and games have integrated the 3D effect without compromising various aspects of the game, it will probably be remembered as one of those gimicky 3D games.

[Himu]

You don't shoot with the stylus.

What aspects would be compromised from the 3d? It's a rail shooter. Plus while some of the environments look alright or even just decent, look at how fluid the action and animation is. How can anyone complain about that?

[EmCeeGrammar]

Kid Icarus looks like a kingdom hearts game.  Im starting to think when you do some huge crossover game for a parent company you catch whatever affliction nomura has and sakurai now has.

[Mr. Gundam]

Wait, Kid Icarus is a rail shooter?

[Himu]

Yes, Kid Icarus is a rail shooter

[youtube=560,345]83VnVLxgAfY[/youtube]

[Mr. Gundam]

That's awesome. I really haven't had time to pay attention to E3. That and hand helds don't interest me much.

[Eel O'Brian]

tech-wise, this is about as good as it's gonna get for a while with handhelds

psp2 is probably a couple years out, if it's even in the planning now

microsoft has absolutely no interest in handheld gaming

ps2 or so level of graphics is fine with me

[Himu]

Exactly eel

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I'm looking forward to the inevitable new Mega man series they'll make for the 3DS. Hopefully it'll be something really neat.

[Eel O'Brian]

i know i am in the minority, but i'd love to see some old favorite games ported over just for the novelty of 3D

if i could get a COD or MOH WWII collection - or remember the John Carpenter's The Thing game?  that would probably be pretty cool in 3D

[Third]

So, it's true that Kid Icarus is an onrail shooter? Disgusting, Nintendo. Way to rape a comeback.

[Himu]

So, it's true that Kid Icarus is an onrail shooter? Disgusting, Nintendo. Way to rape a comeback.

Have you PLAYED the original Kid Icarus? It SUCKS.

Rail shooters, however, are awesome.

[magus]

you know i don't understand this comeback

it's like if they made an rpg and then put the ice climbers on it
ICE CLIMBERS COMEBACK!

[Bebpo]

Yeah, I agree with himuro on this.  The new one is a Sin & Punishment shooter (shoot/slash).  S&P is awesome.  This is by Sakurai who is also awesome.  Thus this will be a AWESOMELY AWESOME game.

Will take that over another Nintendo 2.5d platformer zzz

[Great Rumbler]

you know i don't understand this comeback

it's like if they made an rpg and then put the ice climbers on it
ICE CLIMBERS COMEBACK!

It's like if they made an FPS and put Samus in it!

[Third]

Are you guys crazy? We need more 2D platformers.
On rail shooters are getting old and boring.

And no, I've never played an Icarus game before. And this shooter won't change that.

[magus]

We have plenty of 2d platformers lately, but rail shooters deserve a comeback

[Sho Nuff]

My boss just got us a Nintendo escort and now we are standing in the VIP line. My boss is pretty awesome. It's like Japanese executives have a secret language or something. Impressions incoming
