Nintendo 3DS thread

[Shaka Khan]

I just did check the edit

There were games, but most of them were sub-LOADINGLOADINGLOADING-par games or shoddy ports.

I hate myself for list moding.... you know - i won't - go look at what came in the first 2 years. It's great.

You don't have to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Portable_games (sort by release date)

I stand corrected.

[magus]

All three companies suck in different ways, but in equal measures.

this,and fanboy are all equaly distinguished mentally-challenged but none of them are as noisy as nintendo one

[Diunx]

i have 10 3Ds games already. It'll be 11 when Assfulled is 1980 yen and i'll be adding a few games this week (the sub game for sure)

Damn dude you went from not buying it day one to getting one within hours of its release and owning 10 games already I eagerly anticipate Prole doing the exact same thing after mentioning multiple times that he canceled his pre order.

[bork]

I'm still getting a 3DS, but when I look at what it is that's of interest, it's almost all ports:

-SSF4: Port of the console versions, disappointingly NOT of Arcade Edition.
-Ridge Racer: Not a port, but appears to be another RR rehash re-using the some of the same tracks that RR1+2 PSP, RR6, and RR7 share.
-Samurai Warriors Chronicles: This is a portable version of SW3, albeit with some new features.
-Dead Or Alive Dimensions: Rehash of DOA4 with some extra stuff/old backgrounds and costumes re-added.
-Resident Evil The Mercenaries: Port of the RE5 Mercenaries mode with new characters.
-The other Resident Evil: Look!  An ORIGINAL GAME! 
-Zelda Oot: Another port.
-BlazBlue Continuum Shift II: Yup, it's a port...and the PSP version looks better!

If the fighting games didn't have online play, I wouldn't even bother with the 3DS at launch.

I"m really really excited to be getting a new handheld system in a few weeks.

Next gen is here!

And by the end of the year the real beast will be unleashed.

This game looks SO FUN!

[youtube=560,345]ZePgSDmZIdU[/youtube]

I didn't know this version let you control a four-man squad and switch during battle, Warriors-Orochi style.  And I see characters from Samurai Warriors 3Z/Xtreme Legends in there.  That's pretty cool, however the same week this comes out, Koei is also putting out Dynasty Warriors 7 on consoles, which looks to kick the shit out of all of their other titles.

[AdmiralViscen]

But Nintendo dont innovate or evolve when hey have money.  They are at their best when they NEED money.

No company is at their "best" when they've reached their financial comfort zone, but if I had to choose from among the 3 companies as far as pumping out lazy shit as a result of being financially overbloated, I'll go with Nintendo. They still have FUN in their DNA and we're still seeing some nice quirky stuff coming from them this generation despite their position in the gaming pecking order. What do we get from a winning Sony? "GET A SECOND JOB TO BUY AND SUPPORT OUR NEXT CONSOLE!" Microsoft? "Pay $49.99 for this gimped title, and we'll make sure the rest of it is available as DLC for $29.99. "

Uh, Sony has given me more games, in good times and bad, than Nintendo.

[Himu]

There were games, but most of them were sub-LOADINGLOADINGLOADING-par games or shoddy ports. I wish CFW was there day 1 to enhance the experience from the get go. Fall 2006, iirc, was the time when technically competent games and quality ports started trickling in.

Edit: Ok, I did a scan too and most of 2006's releases that I ended up buying were great. I guess 2005's drought felt like a life-time.

Edit: ugh, even 2005 had quality games. Why the hell am I letting the ninty-revisionists cloud my memory? I personally blame Emceegramr and his stupid friends.

the anti-psp "it only has ports/remakes" FUD is stupid. it's like every pro-nintendo gamer REFUSES to acknowledge or even RESEARCH the vast variety that fucking system has.

meanwhile, everyone else has to be subjected to "best nintendo system since the snes! ^_______^" (although it is).

And this is coming from someone who has played his psp probably about as much as his ds. Seriously.

[EmCeeGrammar]

I'm not really friends with other nintards.  Can't really stand them cus they pontificate on the zelda timeline and bitch about Nintendo not localising crap like disaster: day of crisis.  As for the psp, as a short lived owner the lineup never clicked with me.   Lumines was okay, but when you stripped away the audiovisual stuff it was still a derivative tetris thing.  I think my favorite psp game was Hot Shots Golf.  The load times weren't bad from what I remember, and I had a fair share of fun with it. The one game I kept going back to until I finally sold the psp when loco roco turned out to be a big blob of non fun.

[Damian79]

Uh, Sony has given me more games, in good times and bad, than Nintendo.

Neither Sony or Nintendo has given me jack shit.  But Atlus gave me SMT: Devil Survivor, Etrian ODyessy 1-3, SMT: Strange Journey and Radiant Historia all on the DS.

Atlus

What do we get from a winning Sony? "GET A SECOND JOB TO BUY AND SUPPORT OUR NEXT CONSOLE!" Microsoft? "Pay $49.99 for this gimped title, and we'll make sure the rest of it is available as DLC for $29.99. "

When Sony won with the PS1, we got the PS2, by far the best system of last gen.

[cool breeze]

Gamecube was one of the most powerful consoles? out of three! Xbox hardware buttfucked it, and while it was better than the PS2 in areas, the PS2 still had soooo much better content.  Nintendo ain't got nothing.  I wouldn't argue against the SNES, though.  So, yes, two decades ago Nintendo was pretty hep.

Then they release the DS, and the Wii, and you have blue ocean this and innovation that.  But the DS could have had a touch screen and been on par with the PSP.  The Wii could have had waggle and been on par with the 360/PS3.  The systems had great software and I'm not arguing that; only that Nintendo is super cheap that now relies on uninteresting and slightly broken gimmicks.

also, nostalgia for a company's former glory means nothing in 2011, even if Nintendo won't let you forget by porting older games.  I don't recall saying they were always like this, but if their last three big hardware releases were all fairly disappointing, it's a trend, not a fluke.  If Microsoft releases a waggle box on 360 hardware, or Sony did the same, I wouldn't be interested.  It should be understandable that I have nothing against a company because its purpose is to make money and I'm not a stockholder and that would be weird if I liked them just 'cause.  If their products and/or service aren't to my interests as a consumer, I'm just not going to care* no matter their history.

xbots shitting on the ps1 whoduve thunk it 

[Trent Dole]

[Sho Nuff]

Add San Francisco Rush to that list fool

[cool breeze]

Yes the gamecube was a powerful console, and its games(the nintendo ones at least) looked better than most xbox games. And you're comparing the game library to the PS2? I don't think any game console can compete with the ps2's library. Also the N64 was not just the most powerful console of its generation, it was also the best.

you want it to be one way



but it's the other way

[Sho Nuff]

I have worked on both, and the Xbox pooped on Gamecube

Truth

There's a whole heck of a lot of difference between the Gamecube vs. Xbox and the Wii vs. Xbox360. I think most people would agree on that.

The point is that the Gamecube was close in power [or at least close in actual results] to the original Xbox, whereas the Xbox360 is light years ahead of the Wii.

[Himu]

Nintendo having an technological edge is a myth.

nes was weak as shit. gameboy weak as shit, gameboy color weak as shit, gameboy advance weak as shit, ds weak as shit, nintendo 64 used carts instead of cd's when it was obvious where the future was going;etc

I'd say gamecube is the one and only time they truly embraced a technological bent, that and maybe the nintendo 64, but that's a maybe.

[Sho Nuff]

All I can say is N64 was really pushing the technology barrier with its 4K of texture cache

[AdmiralViscen]

SNES was well ahead of the Genesis as well, though it did come out later.

GameCube was in a good place but it was not as powerful as XBox and the only games on it that looked as good as the top XBox games were Rogue Squadron and Star Fox Adventures.

Metroid Prime 1 and 2 were up there as well.

[Vizzys]

are we talking bout old console itt

I remember having to flip my ps1 upsidedown to read discs

[demi]

N64 talk? Will take a picture of my 70+ games when I get home. N64

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Until the DS, Nintendo was always about power.  I remember hearing about SGI's blazing hot technology in the N64 ad nauseum.  How it looked head over shoulders better over the PlayStation.  At least a handful of N64 games could be played today but unless it is in 2D or on an emulator with shitloads of filters and aliasing applied to it, the PlayStation is virtually unplayable.  In fact, it was barely playable then.

The "underpowered hardware w/ gimmick" approach is pretty shameful but it is making them profit hand over fist.  However since I don't own Nintendo stock or receive a paycheck from Nintendo, I don't give a rat's ass how much profit Nintendo can bring in from a 3DS.  I'm just glad that Sony is continuing the power over gimmickry approach with the NGP, in spite of many reasons not to go that route.  I will probably end up with both machines but I'm not going to pretend that the 3DS tech isn't a piece of shit because O WOW THREE DEE! or that I'm happy Nintendo can make $50 per 3DS.  The idea that Nintards are spinning Nintendo's entire hardware history as gimmicks over power is pretty short sighted, not that Nintards aren't capable of reinventing truths.  At least Nintards dropped the "tight lipped" phrase whenever their third party software lineup of the latest Nintendo console appeared to be a total desert. 

[magus]

you know your list is desperate when you have to put wrestling game and acclaim fps on it

[iconoclast]

N64 still has the best Evangelion game

clearly it's a good console. nintendo's last good console, actually.

you know your list is desperate when you have to put wrestling game and acclaim fps on it

No Mercy is one of the best games ever made. And Fire Pro and King of Colosseum destroy No Mercy.

[Joe Molotov]

I had a PSX for RPGs + RE/Silent Hill and a N64 for everything else. Life was good.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Six more than the PSX library then.  Playstation 1 was garbage.  Shitty graphics + slideshow framerate

3DFX ports of PSX games

Same as the N64 then

[Himu]

psx had better puzzle games, better rhythm games, better inventive and off the wall/what the fuck is this? games, better rpgs, better action games, more 2d games, better 2d shooters and rail shooters to boot.

i sure as hell would like to see anything as inventive as parappa/lammy or vib ribbon or intelligent qube or even devil dice on the n64. this is without mentioning the platformers: klonoa, tomba, mega man x4, crash bandicoot 2, spyro;etc or racing games.

psx knocks the shit out of n64. Aside from 3d platformers and arguably action adventure (and only because of Zelda) I don't see n64 outclassing psx on any genre.

[Joe Molotov]

Devil Dice, Vib Ribbon, Intelligent Qube, wow dude, sounds all terribly exciting. Too bad I was playing too much Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye to care.

[magus]

so it was like being a wii owner and having to play galaxy over and over?

[Himu]

Nintendo 64 is an odd system to me. It clearly has some of the best games ever created and is highly influential. But when it comes down to it, its lineup is incredibly sparse. It has quality, that's not debatable, but it lacks the quantity. Meanwhile, psx had both.

I can't understand calling it Nintendo's last good console because it's not that great of a system, though it certainly had great games.

I honestly think Gamecube is better than N64.

[magus]

okay okay i know how to end this argument

can we all agree that sega console sucked the most?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

psx had better sports games, and tony hawk was the best on PSx so I dont know what these xbots are talking about

still was one of the most awesome game ever,when the wii hit i always tought "MAN MARIO PARTY ONLINE IS GOING TO BE SO COOL!"

good job nintendo!

[Great Rumbler]

Mario Party would tear your hand up, no question about that. Still crazy fun though.

[iconoclast]

  One of my friends got a huge blister from that Mario Party analog spinning. He may have won the game, but he still lost.

I tried mario party once at a friends place.  Thought it was hella lame and the party genre was stupid.  I guess I was ahead of the curve.
...
Except for Warioware smooth moves, that shit IS the shit.

[Joe Molotov]

Mario Party 1 was the most abusive game ever. The key to winning was to inflict more pain upon yourself that the other players could, but then you'd still lose because of random dice rolls.

[Himu]

Sega Genesis fucking owned.

[Smooth Groove]

I had a PSX for RPGs + RE/Silent Hill and a N64 for everything else. Life was good.

High-res PC ports + Bleem for PSX and UltraHLE for everything else.  Life was better. 

psx had better puzzle games, better rhythm games, better inventive and off the wall/what the fuck is this? games, better rpgs, better action games, more 2d games, better 2d shooters and rail shooters to boot.

I wonder why there aren't anymore sequels or remakes of all those games.

ahahahahahah

This is a joke post, right?  The PSOne shat all over the N64.  That was Nintendo's worst console (unless you want to count the Virtual Boy as a console) to date.

PC emulation was fun to mess with, but back then most games weren't stable enough to play all the way through.  It was a fun gimmick.

[Damian79]

Sales wise yeah but games wise the wii sucks more if you are an english speaker.
