I've gone from 'OMG DAY 1, first handheld I'm going to buy since GBA' to 'eh' so very quickly since the lead up to launch has been peppered with so much disappointing news. Primarily region locking and crappy sounding online implementation. ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuck Nintendo

3DS is really shaping to be the pinnacle of gaming

Target audience is obviously someone that has lots of money,has 3D fetish,loves ports and dreams about Ubisoft games

btw,saw something on gaf about 3DS Pikmin game

E3: OMG MGS3, MAINLINE RE, RE MERCS, SSFIV, DOA, ZELDA OOT REMAKE, STARFOX 64 REMAKE, ETC. ETC. ETC. ALL AT LAUNCH!!!!!!!!!

Today: lol no

I never understood the reactions to the E3 reveal fucking ports and shit looking games everywhere and yet everyone was losing their shit.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #137 on:** January 19, 2011, 10:40:16 PM »

Seeing the PS3 for the first time at E3 was pretty awesome though. Even though my friend and I knew that those "PS3"s had nothing inside, it was still cool to see them with all the fancy sports cars-like paint jobs. It's too bad that Sony never even bothered to release limited editions of those fancy colored PS3s.

I hope the next Paper Mario is as good as TTYD. Every Mario RPG since then has sucked.

But yeah the launch line up is pretty terrible. Kid Icarus, Paper Mario, and Resident Evil are the only interesting games there, and I'm in no rush to play any of them. Everything else is a remake or rehash of old games with superior versions already available.

I don't know, Street Fighter IV looks pretty bad-fucking-ass if I were a fighting game fan. I'll probably wait until June when OoT is out.

cool breeze · « **Reply #145 on:** January 20, 2011, 01:08:16 AM »

SF4 would be cool if you did take your 3DS around with you. For me, it is worse version of the same game I already have on PS3/360, with worse controls. Even though Street Fighter is a billion times more interesting than DoA, if I got one 3DS fighting game (ignoring Blazblue) it would be DoA because it at least seems new.

I'm speaking more from my opinion experiences. I bought Tekken on PSP and didn't play it much and passed on Soul Calibur psp when that came out. The last fighting game I really played on a handheld was Street Fighter 2 on the GBA. well, ignoring anime fighters like the Bleach games and Jump - Stars games.

realistically I'll buy pilot wings and the thing will sit here doing nothing until the next batch of games come out. I haven't learned my lesson from pretty much every other console launch, except maybe the Dreamcast.

Also, why do we need cases that are CD dimensions with DVD case thickness for a frigging smartcard!?

probably some marketing reason,casuals are strange...i don't think that Nintendo cares about some hardcore nerd drooling over boxart

Smaller case is bound to cost less money...small amount,but million copies

funny you should say this as greenpeace has Nintendo as one of the least 'green' electronics manufacturers

It makes no sense to me either.
money,unwilling to change,it was fine before so let's continue,marketing...it's just wtf

This is like making 360 without DVD but maintaining the same size.DVD is like half of the 360

PSP2 will be interesting to see

Any reports about the battery life, and for how much we can extend it?

maxy · « **Reply #159 on:** January 20, 2011, 01:12:58 PM »

Nintendo official faq,via ign

Quote

Battery Duration: When playing Nintendo 3DS software about 3-5 hours. When playing Nintendo DS software about 5-8 hours. Battery duration differs depending on the brightness setting of the screen. The information regarding battery duration is a rough standard. It can be shorter depending on what functions of the Nintendo 3DS system are used.

David Yarnton,managing director of Nintendo UK.

Quote

Eurogamer: The 3DS' 3.5 to 5 hour battery life has disappointed quite a few people.

David Yarnton: Actually, if you have the 3D, Wi-Fi and other functions off it's longer than five hours. You're looking at a totally new piece of equipment that's doing lots of different things compared to previous products. It's a different ball-game. But if you don't have the 3D on it will be longer than five hours.

So yeah,battery life is here and there

We won't know until somebody buys the thing or some tech site gets it for review

Nintendo's launches have pretty much all been terrible. They seem to hit their stride about a year in, blow their load over the next two years after that, and then abandon the hardware.

The 3DS lineup is much better than the first year of the DS. Your options for most of the first year were Mario 64 DS, Yoshi Touch and Go, Nintendogs, or Kirby Canvas Curse. I see at least twice that amount of potentially good games to come out in the first year of the 3DS, even if some of them are port jobs. That is just what we know.

DS was going up,but 3DS has $250 starting point...

Quote

Ever since the cautionary tale of the PSP, I’ve been skeptical whenever game industry watchers line up in universal praise of anything. It’s not that I have a contrarian streak. It’s because when everybody seems to be on board with a new product, that means it is too understandable to them: It’s exactly like what is popular now, but better, therefore it could not possibly fail.

But I let him know I don't think less of him really, so Kohler's not necessarily a racist.
