The 3DS has been nothing but a series of disasters so far...

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"][QUOTE="Coolyfett"]Ok then just give a fair number and Coolyfett will hold you to it....fair....if they sell the predicted amount this time. Coolyfett will make a sign in your honor.

I'm also disappointed with the current state of the 3DS. The reasons why I haven't purchased one yet are games, price, and battery life. Region lock sucks too, but not a big dealbreaker for me.

There are some games that I'm interested in, but the problem is that they're mostly just remakes/ports. Street Fighter IV is on the HD consoles. Devil Survivor is on the DS (and the sequel is coming out for the DS too). RE Mercenaries can be played on RE4 & RE5. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection killed any interest I had with MGS3DS. Loz OoT is available in various places. Yeah, they have some new additions or have some tweaks, but I'm not going to buy a new system just to play updated versions of games I've already played.

It seems to me that Nintendo got pretty confident with the success of the DS and relied on the 3D as a selling factor, but it backfired. Nintendo failed to give us a killer app or must have games, and with this, the price of the 3DS factors in. $250 is too much, imo, considering its current library (and Vita's price). It needs more games (original ones at that), a price cut and a new lite model might help too. Anyways, I'm perfectly satisfied with my DSlite, so I'm not in a rush on getting a 3DS.

Yeah, I've been playing my PSP lately.. And man that this is awesome lol.. I had not played it in a while and there was nothing I wanted to get for my 3DS so I bought a few PSP games, and i've been playing it nonstop the past 2 weeks.. I remember about a month or two ago being slightly confused as to how the PSP was outselling the 3DS in Japan but now makes perfect sense seeing as how many awesome RPGs have come out for it recently..Valkyria Chronicles II is one of the best games I've ever played on a handheld

It's not great, but it's not a "disaster." It's only a "disaster" from the standpoint of the system supposedly being a sure win for Nintendo. At worst, the Vita will provide stronger competition than the Vita did. But it's still likely if not guaranteed to do better than the Vita because it targets the primary consumerbase for handhelds, which Vita isn't really focused on.

It's a scientific fact that 10-15% will experience some kind of side effect when exposed to stereoscopic 3D.

That's it.

Undisputable, unless you can refer to a study from a reputable source that says otherwise.

10-15% is huge.

I got a 3DS since launch and I regret it. I only play Pokemon White, while I also have SSF4 I don't play it due to crappy controls. Should have waited until the Mario games to come out and get a DS Lite instead.

Most games are gonna be released on November-December.

It was released too early.

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

I honestly think you're letting SWs get to your head.

The 3DS will do fine.

oldkingallant

This x1000, chill out. Seriously scared...? LOL.

Reasons I don't have a 3DS (yet)

There aren't any must have games for me..yet.
Battery life sucks.
Too pricy.
The Virtual Console hasn't built its library up..yet.

Most importantly, there will probably be a new 3DS model released in a couple years (like with the DS Lite, DSi, DSiXL) and will be cheaper than $250

It really has been a disapointment based off of what I've seen. Not was I have imagined at all. Not worth the 250$ as I see now. Vita looks far more appealing and is the same amount. LBP vita alone looks better than the entire 3DS library (as of now). The saving grace of the 3DS is Mario or Kid Icarus IMO. The rest of it looks ok. Certainly not system grabbing worthy.

3DS screen (and the whole system) is power hungry, actually if you see the battery specs of the 3DS you'll notice that is 1300 mAh, and guess what, the DS Lite one is 1000 mAh. I'm not expert in this subjet, but a bigger battery capacity usually means a bigger battery itself (see Nyko's one) and Nintendo tried to get a balance between size and battery duration, and now everybody know the result. Also, Nintendo is not the only one with battery problems, if you see reviews of the 3D phones, you will see that these have horrible battery durations too . It's just that the 3D tech is not ready yet, in my opinion.

I'd like to see links instead of people talking out their butts. Even if this were true, you can always turn the 3D off.

If I ever get one I think I'll wait for 3DS Lite, nintendo's handhelds get better with revisions.

A. The vita's not out yet to make that call

B. The game is not out to make that call.

3DS is having one of the strongest 1st year lineups I've ever encountered.

The sales are on par with DS sales within the same time frame.

Get a Nyko battery pack, you'd get 2.5X 3DS battery life.

3rd parties? Wii is my favoite home console since SNES, 3 gens ago. 3rd Parties apparently mean nothing to me.

?????

Success.

Is not doing that well and we never read about developers canceling games and stalling them for the DS,getting a 3rd party battery is not a solution because it involves paying for and extra battery,which wasn't acceptable when the topic was DS vs PSP,face it 3+ hours the minimum is as bad as the PSP was period,there can't be any change of argument now. Which say allot the Wii is only worth owning if you are a nintendo fan that like Mario or a kid,3 gens ago the Snes had a very good 3rd party support in fact the Snes had better 3rd party support that probably the wii,N64 and Gamecube,back then pretty much all 3rd parties did games for nintendo,and not just shallow mini games,down grade version of games,and old ports,in most cases top of the line games.tormentos

You're right about DS vs PSP that it wasn't acceptable because DS > PSP and DS + battery pack > PSP + battery pack. It's not fair to say that PSP + battery pack = DS.

3DS is on par with equivalent gaming devices on the market. It's an issue from a Nintendo fan's perspective as we are spoiled, but the battery life card is not something Sony or MS fans have the right to play until proven otherwise, you don't know Vita's battery life yet so a comparison is needed.

3DS first year lineup easily beats DS', that's all I'm saying. However it's not guaranteed that 3DS will even come close to DS' library of games over the course of 7 years.

What I don't get is why you brought Wii into this. So, those who like their Wii, are either Nintendo fans OR kids. That statement directly implies that you've become a Nintendo fan, if you enjoyed Wii.

It's impossible to NOT be a Nintendo fan, and enjoy Wii, being an adult? You've got some serious logic skills.

Nope.If PSVita has a poor battery life, thenwe will criticize it as well.As it stands, the battery life in3DS is prettypoor for a handheld.

In my last post I showed you that your DS vs PSP analogy was bad.

It's a different situation.
