The 3DS will be next Virtual Boy

Discuss.

IMO the reason for this s because the 3d foliage will poke you in the eye thus making you blind.

Unlikely.

The 3DS has games to back up its headache inducing gimmick. The virtual boy didn't.

Not. And you can still disable the 3D effect on the 3DS.

I don't think so. Plus you can easily turn off the full 3D effect by using the slider.

Every product has product use warnings. The batteries in your game controllers have warnings about their potential to explode.

Besides, even if the 3D is harmful, you can turn it off.

Eventually people will get so sick of the 3D that they will just always play with it off, essentialy making it a $300 DS :lol:

▲ So then what's the point in having it if it's not mandatory? If it's not used as an integral part of the game, it's just a shameful gimmick. A gimmick that has apparant health issues it seems. ▲

The people that will be buying the 3DS won't just be about the 3D, but about games. Plus there's no real proof that this handheld will cost $300 over here in the states.

Yeah, a DS with better online, more power and more features.

▲ Games they've most likely already played? The best and most games announced for the thing are remakes. Nintendo isint even trying anymore it seems. ▲

Expect it will have a virtual console, features that aren't on any current DS, and much more powerful hardware that is a major step up from the current DS' specs.

Honestly, when will people finally get the message that this is the successor to the current DS line and not just another hardware revision?

The 3DS is equivalent to what the GBA was to the 8-bit Game Boy line.

It's so bad.

I'm gonna love bumping these threads up next year. The ownage will be superb! :lol:

People are going waaayyy too far out of their way to hate on what is likely to be a mega success.

Not all of them are ports &/or remakes.

No it won't be Nintendo's biggest commercial failure

Nor will it have the smallest library in video game history

Nor will have that same archaic 3D as the Virtual Boy

lol no. Anyone who was around when the Virtual Boy was launching should be capable of understanding that they're not remotely comparable.

Isn't it possible to turn the 3D off on the 3DS? Also you aren't wearing goggles with the screen essentially an inch from your eyes. Which is probably what caused the headaches.

Since gaming press has had their hands on it, and say it work its bound to be better.

I had the virtual boy. Was my first console. Had it for a week, then had it traded in for a SNES.

Words can't properly escribe how bad the VB was. Words can't describe......

:cry:

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]Funny how when Nintendo releases a huge amount of ports AND has an analog nub it's okay. Things DS fans berated the PSP for having. Just sayin...ThePlothole

apparently 2 remakes = a bunch of ports

1 theres a switch to turn off 3d and play like normal ,

2 -- with awsome games like zelda saints row driver mgs etc i dont think so

remember virtual boy wasnt really 3d , it was red and black

and had no g ood games and wasnt even portable lol ,

so saying 3ds is the next portable is really underestimating nintendo , ,

lol my first game console was an Atari 2600 and I thought it sucked, but man do I feel bad for you. :lol:

Had the Virtual Boy been my first console I probably wouldnt be gaming today. At least you traded the worst system of all time for quite possibly the best system of all time.

Unlikely. All 3D products give off a similar message (including T.Vs)

My only concern is the price point, hopefully Nintendo doesn't bring this thing to the U.S. at 300 dollars.. Hopefully it releases at 249 at the highest point.

Man people will do anything to bash the 3DS.

:3

thats a pretty lame reason to hate on the 3ds. hell even cartoons sometimes have warnings at the beginning telling you not to sit too close to the screen. and considering you can just turn the 3d off whats the big deal?

Every product has product use warnings. The batteries in your game controllers have warnings about their potential to explode.

MetroidPrimePwn

No it won't.

I honestly believe that 3D will be the next big thing.

I look forward to seeing MS and Sony implementing it into their systems.

• You can turn the 3D off.
• It has a great line-up set forth.

So no, I don't think so.

nintendo just said those things because at some point someone will get a headache for overdoing it and try to sue nintendo, which will counter with "but i warned ya".

it's like thinking starbucks is doomed because their cups have a "hot coffee is hot" warning.

Unlikely.

The 3DS has games to back up its headache inducing gimmick. The virtual boy didn't.

davidkamayor

and We just Switch 3D to the Off Postition and Now we don't have to worry about the 3D stuff.

Everything has warnings.

• Coffee: May be hot
• Sleeping Pills: May make you drozzy
• Games: Flashing lights and a wide varriation of colors may cause some to have sezors
• Microwave: Caution, after use, may be hot (and or) beware of radiation
• Slushies and ice cream: beware of brain freeze
• Gasoline: Caution, flamable, may explode

and now but not least, another product just like every other product in the world, has a warning.

• 3DS: BEWARE OF 3D

As you can see, unless you are one of those few people out there who cant see 3D or who have experinced head aches after watching 3D, the warning found on the 3DS shoud be taken with a grain of salt.

Also, another selling point for the 3DS, the 3D can be tuned of ;)
