Are you proud to be a 3ds owner.?

Hey guys. I have had my 3ds since launch and I must say I am very much loving my 3ds right now. Yeah the 3ds had a slow start and lack of good games but now and very soon we will get so many good games. Do you feel proud to be owning the 3ds and why?

I guess that I'm not a proud 3DS owner yet, but I will be once Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and the GBA Ambassador games are released.

Yes, yes I am.

Not really. I don't show it off to people.

But it was only $100 when i got it, so i just had to.

Can't wait to see how Mario Kart turns out.

I truely enjoy my 3DS, and I am looking forward to a bunch of games that are set to come out.

Not really, but... why should I be proud for owning something?

Not really sure about being proud for buying a console. I mean I like it, it's cool, but I have no reason to be proud of it. I didn't design it. I had nothing to do with it.

I still love and support my 3DS. Just waiting for Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 though.

I like my 3DS, but no, I don't feel pride from owning things.

Proud? What!? No!

Kinda. Its growing on me. But what I don't like aboutthese DSs is, why can't they just play games, like the Gameboys? Just insert your game and start playing. No internet no nothing.

Yes, yes I am.

I wear my 3DS as a necklace with a scrolling background that says, "yes ladies I own my 3ds"

Not really I haven't played it for two months. It will likely be after christmas before I do as well

I don't really care about pride for owning a piece of plastic I just enjoy the games like I'm supposed to. :)rubber-chicken

Took the words right out of my mouth. Thank-you! I mean seriously, it's a game. You should have pride for things you've accomplished, not things you own.

I'm having fun with it! I was a little irked with the drastic price drop but, aside from that, I am really looking forward to alot of the upcoming games being released.

Yes, Im loving my 3DS. I just wish I had money to buy the games. Lol

not until I get Mario Kart 7

Proud of what? Of being stupid enough to pay a lot of money for a crap system that released with an unfinished firmware, outdated hardware, needed hardware add ons and expensive enough that they could lower the price so much?

not atm

ya i am.

You mean fragmented OSs like Android where the top of the line games don't run on over half the available phones? You mean how the apps and games don't really have the full 512MB-1GB RAM to actually use as those are reserved for other functions?

Name to me a top of the line smartphone with its price ($150 to $300) with its overall 2 year cost ($100 a month for 24 months) and you aren't buying those phones for gaming.

There aren't many games that look as good as Resident Evil Revelations on smartphones, and those that do don't run well on older, or even some recently released smartphones.

Phone gets replaced every six months, and its impossible from a financial stand point to keep up. A 3DS is made to be profitable and run all 3DS games for the next 3-5 years. If you made a smartphone that would run the top of the line Android/iOS games in 2015 it would cost so far above $1000 it wouldn't be reasonable.

The 3DS has a multi-core 800Mhz CPU, a very good GPU (around 200Mhz) and 128MB RAM. I wouldn't call that outdated as the only other gaming handheld coming out soon that will compete directly with it isn't as much more powerful than the 3DS as the PSP was to the DS.

It's not outdated because its the current Nintendo handheld, and will be for the next few years. Stop comparing it to subsidized phones with huge contracts. They aren't the same thing.

Whether u like it or not the the 3DS IS using outdated tech. That doesn't make it a bad system by any means. Old hardware didn't stop the DS from being a good system so no need to get defensive. Also the CPU & GPU clock is not known so on't go around throwing numbers without being sure of what u type. Android fragmentation isn't as big as problem as people think it is, and the memory limit for apps is very easy to get around. That whole fragmentation junk is just as applicable on PC's yet that doesn't stop PC's from having superior looking games. Also, "only other gaming handheld coming out soon that will compete directly with it isn't as much more powerful than the 3DS" ....can't believe u actually think that. take the goggles off dude.

Phones are stronger than 3DS, end of story

The iPod Touch is a much closer competitor than any phone. It's got a faster processor, twice the RAM, a much higher resolution screen (albeit no 3D) and better cameras. Though the cameras on the Touch are garbage, the 3DS ones manage to be a lot worse. It also retails for about $30 more, and on the basis of cost of games, it's a lot cheaper. A huge number of the E-Shop games are ports from the App Store, but they cost three to five times less on the iPod/iPhone. It's also far more portable and is a better device for music, videos, and web browsing (obviously the lack of actual buttons limits what genres are playable on it).

At least, that's the competitor I'd imagine Nintendo is most worried about.

actually the GPU in the ipod touch 4g is weaker than that of the 3DS :P

I am w/ you here. It seems to me if they only expanded the VC services to include SNES and N64, they'd then have a ton of exclusive titles they could offer just for example. And why no DS games? The hardware is obviously capable of playing them so why not offer them for download? I just don't get it. The online store is getting better and better but it still feels like an afterthought to me when it could easily be a main selling point.

Actually I am pretty embarassed to admit that I bought the 3DS on launch day. I really thought Nintendo would have more quality games on the system by now, but I guess that was just too much to ask for.
