I thought select titles were 6 and others were 3? Link's Awakening is worth 6 as far as I'm concerned.

Nes games aren't even worth 5 unless its megaman or mario

You can play VC games at their original resolutions, albeit with smaller screen sizes.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #727 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:59:16 PM »

yeah, the 1:1 setting looked nice, but was too small. I mean, this is 2011, come up with an actual filter for the scaled up version, nintendo. It's only been a standard thing in emulators for about 15 years or so

You'd think that since Nintendo's DD model is "emulate all of our old shit" they'd at least give the user a better experience than what illegal emulation would provide...that's kinda what they're competing with

Damian79 · « **Reply #728 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:01:53 PM »

E that would make it blurry and more sucky. Filters double some likes and not double others lines. It is fine is you have a 1080p screen not good if your screen is slightly bigger.

cool breeze · « **Reply #729 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:43:25 AM »

Filters can't really fix it. The screens are too low resolution on the 3DS.

But I don't understand Nintendo's aversion to adding options. You have to press an arbitrary combo of buttons to enable that original resolution mode. On the PSP, there is an options menu after pressing home.

The company announced today that it will hold the "Nintendo 3DS New Information Internet Presentation" on Friday (October 21). This pre-recorded presentation, hosted by CEO Satoru Iwata, will cover details that could not be covered during the September event.

The presentation will be held at 20:00 and will be broadcast at Ustream and Nico Nico Video. See Nintendo's page for links when the time comes.

Outside of pokemon and mario I can see them having some trubbs in the West. I'm trying to think of how they can overcome the mentality of western development + appealling to predominantly mobile gamers and I'm kinda blank. If there was some non-difficult way to get media to play on the thing it might go a long way. Maybe some itunes esque thing that could be used for easy data management.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #752 on:** October 23, 2011, 01:26:07 PM »

The vast majority of ios software is wormy dogshit. If it wasn't for recommendation threads I'd steer clear of it at all costs. So Nintendo's meager content isn't what I would consider a disadvantage in THAT regard. Its more a combination of cumbersome ui navigation and clumsy data management options. I kinda like browsing the estore now, but there should really be more obvious ways to look for what suits a person. Demos need a persistent category on the storefront. They also need to start talking to non gaming companies about getting the equivalent of apps for things like youtube/amazon/facebook/lifestylesoftwarez.

But most of all they need to hammer the tap off the keg already. When something is ready it should go up at the creator's discretion. I know they want to prepare promotional material but Nintendo can save that for bigger stuff and not every little thing.

cool breeze · « **Reply #753 on:** October 23, 2011, 02:20:19 PM »

the app store is a mess navigate, but nintendo's online store is immeasurably worse in almost every area. and it's more nintendo's entire stance on online. It'm still amazed that Nintendo doesn't have an account system.

There are four separate nintendo hardware with access to the online store, each use nintendo points as currency, and each use a separate pool of points. it doesn't seem that bad until you realize you can't make exact purchases and nintendo has irregular pricing. you can buy points for $5 or $10. Games on the shop cost like $3, $6, on the Wii some are $12. You're always in a situation where you spend more on a game and are left with points. I can't tell if that's just baffling design or a really cheap and tacky way for Nintendo rip people off. and I don't think nintendo's store ever has sales. XBL, PSN, App store, Steam, and even Origin have sales. Nintendo just dumps out software on its wares and forgets about them.

so navigation is hardly the only problem. it's troublesome to buy games, there's no reason to visit the store, and there is hardly value in purchasing a game when it's locked to that singular hardware.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #754 on:** October 23, 2011, 03:58:11 PM »

I'm not saying the dsi/eshop store has better content at all. I'm well aware of the sea of shit. I'm saying that I doubt a perceived lack of quality is a primary problem with the platform's adoption. Its more like a lack of highlighting the store within the home screen os in addition to all the other problems aforementioned by me.

http://www.next-gen.biz/news/nikkei-nintendo-post-%C2%A5100-billion-loss

Quote

According to Japan's Nikkei, Nintendo is to reveal a pre-tax loss of ¥100 billion (£821 million) when it reports its half-yearly financial results tomorrow.

The newspaper claims that the loss - which will almost double the ¥55 billion (£451 million) loss predicted by Nintendo - will be largely due to exchange rates. The strength of the Yen against the Euro is expected to account for a loss of ¥40 billion (£328 million).

Should Nikkei's claim be true it would mean Nintendo has sustained a loss of ¥74.5 billion (£611 million) in the last three months alone. Its financial results for the first quarter of its financial year, released in July, showed a loss of just ¥25.5 billion.

hmm,$1 billion+ loss in 6 months

Quote

(Reuters) - Nintendo Co is expected to post a recurring loss of about 100 billion yen ($1.32 billion) in the first half ending on September 30, much worse than the 55 billion loss the company has forecast, the Nikkei business daily said on Wednesday.

Shares of the Japanese games maker tumbled as much as 7.5 percent after the news, to 10,800 yen.

Nintendo, which dominated the games industry for years with its DS handheld game machines and Wii home consoles, has struggled to win popularity for its new generation 3DS gadget, as casual gamers turn to smartphones and tablets from Apple Inc and others.

Nintendo, like many Japanese firms, is also facing a massive hit from the strong yen.

The Nikkei said in its online edition the company had incurred 40 billion yen in foreign exchange losses, mostly against the euro, and would likely also post a first half net loss greater than the 35 billion yen it has projected.

A spokesman for Nintendo declined to comment on the report. The company is due to announce its July-September earnings on Thursday.

Nintendo, which makes 80 percent of its sales overseas, is facing a slump in the value of its cash deposits and accounts receivable in foreign currencies as the yen rises, the Nikkei said.

The games giant behind the Super Mario franchise slashed its full-year operating profit forecast in July to a 27-year low of 35 billion yen, as it cut the price of the 3DS by about one-third to try to boost weak sales.

($1 = 75.770 Japanese Yen)

Resident Evil Revelations going to cost $50 in the US (compared to the standard, already overpriced cost of $40).

It is using the larger 4gig 3DS cart, but still, when people aren't buying 3DS games, maybe raising prices isn't the best idea.
