Who still thinks the 3DS is a failure?

[QUOTE="quaappybla"]

It's a failure for me until they bring an advanced wars game! :evil:

I played over 200 hours of the DS advanced wars.

3DS was never a failure.. surely it didnt launch with an amazing line-up of titles and wasnt cheap either but its not like anyone with some sense really believed the 3DS was gonna fail...

Great games + price-cut did the job :)

still no games apart from MK7 and 3d land

Basically.

The system is already out 10 months and 1st Party support is stilllacking compared to what was shown pre-debut.

Considering Ninty has stopped supporting the DS (and to an extent, the Wii)for over a year now, I'm questioning their efficiency in pumping out titles in a timely manner.

[QUOTE="p4s2p0"][QUOTE="LastRambo341"] I'm pretty sure that it has more games other than those twonitekids2004

Giving 3rd party a chance? :? Where have you heard that?

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]

It was overpriced at launch, had no games, suffered from a patchy online strategy, its features weren't available until much later, and games were being cancelled left, right and center. There was brand confusion (so it's just a regular DS with 3D?) Sales dipping to under a million worldwidefor an entire quarter. Iwata publicly coming out and apologizing. For a moment, it semed like Nintendo, the mighty unassailable handheld gods, had stumbled.

And then they got their act together.

An agressive price cut, an unrelenting fall schedule, an overhaul of their online strategy, an eShop loaded with content, full mutlimedia functionality and extra features unlocked, and renewed third party support. An aggressive advertisment campaign that makes it clear that the 3DS is an all new system. The 3DS is now setting sales records everywhere. Its games are topping the charts, and it is the most wanted item by kids this Christmas. It has already outsold the DS's year one total in under nine months. It has several excellent games now, available at both retail and digitially.

Who still thinks its a failure? And what grounds do you have for calling it a failure anymore?

GiveMeSomething

Flashnews mr. hardcore blind sheep: the system is STILL overpriced, even with the price cut. Just look at the hardware you are getting. It's extremely outdated and no matter how 'good' the games are (I love the argument when people say gameplay>graphics, but truth be told we must demand BOTH), it doesn't change the fact people are getting ripped off. Some friends have asked me to buy the 3DS, but I refuse to support companies who's main audience are uninformed, and casual people; as well as 'family and kids'. I'll pass thank you very much.

Either way... 3DS is just not THAT good as some people make it out to be.

that was the whole part of them launching with not many 1st party games it was majority third party from then to the first half of it, thats why all there games came out in the holiday

It has fun games.

That's enough for me.

always knew it would pick up some momentum.

I'm still going to wait for the next iteration, where they hopefully fix the battery life and viewing angle

No one handheld should have all dat power. :o

But the 3DS does. :cool:

I do. Nintendo will never do online properly and the launch lineup is still all-around unimpressive. They finally got around to GBA games, which really is awesome, and the price going down is also great, but the 3D feels like someone is lighting both my eyes on fire, something no amount of free games will fix. They either exclude an entire segment of the population from enjoying the games and actually make the 3D count for something or they simply allow the gimmick to become something secundary, a feature that is present, but meaningless.

Pushmo is incredible. And yeah, I can definitely see where you are coming from. Those are all some legitimate complaints :) Hopefully, the revision comes before Smash Bros, so we can play online and I can school you :twisted:charizard1605

That looks pretty cool.

Another 3DS eshop game to keep an eye on is Mighty Switch Force from WayForward. It's $6 and comes out on dec. 22 in NA, Europe and Australia.

Also here's a music sample from the game which sound pretty damn sweet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSvVTgEff0I

I still need to buy Cave Story 3D and Pushmo. Hopefully I can finish all these before Tales of the Abyss and RE: Revelations in Jan/Feb. It's a good time for all 3DS owners :D

Its definitely a failure, 3DS just has too many major flaws which can't be ignored like

Very outdated hardware

Lacks second analog stick

Bad 3D screen hurts your eyes and screen is very low resolution even lower than PSPs which is over 6 years old

Region locked

Bad backwards compatible, old DS games have longer loading times

No achievements or trophies for games

Very low battery life

Lack of good games

Very outdated touch screen tecnology

Online network very outdated, no video chat, cross game chat and still uses friend codes.... o.O

Can't play music while playing

The hardware's an eyesore, but I must admit the software's really picking up. Depending on how the Vita turns out in the US, I may buy a 3DS instead (though the Vita is still a little more desirable by default, considering how much PSN content I have).

Essentialy it's just a DS but extra gimmicky with it's stupid 3D. Nintendo is just being lazy these days, they are always adding a gimmick to their systems so it can get caught up by the casual player. In my book it's a fail.

400x240 vs 480x272

3.5in vs 3.8 / 4.3

133ppi vs 145ppi / 128ppi

The PSP go has a better display overall (referring to quality) and the 3DS has a slightly higher pixel density that the 3000.

[QUOTE="felipebo"]

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"] No, I say that because what you said, was the main argument against it 6 months ago. :PLastRambo341

I stand by it.

Your entire argument rides around "suck it up"? First, and most importantly, I'm definitely not the only one who has these problems. They are genetic, or acquired, etc... and they don't disappearthrough willpower, the system aggravating people's health is documented all around the world. And as paying customer, I don't have to change s***, Nintendo is the one that has to adapt its product if it's main selling point can't be used by, I dare say, millions. As for refuting my point, I can't take an argument based on an unreleased console seriously, and I'm fully aware of what the line-up is now, and it's still lackluster.

I don't think it's a failure. They are pretty cheap now and all the games are coming out. They are ahead of the Vita. I assume it may outsell the Vita because Nintendo is more popular in the handheld market

[QUOTE="AtariKidX"]

[QUOTE="Kaszilla"] Wha?...You have a 3DS?

charizard1605

No......i am just curious.

Nintendo has marked special spots on a map of the world. If you stand there it allows you to download one eshop game at random :P. Lol in all seriousness the eshop works over any wifi connection and in my limited experience is pretty fast and awesome (although a bit cluttered in terms of UI).

Well, the fact that there is a analog stick tumor peripheral coming out is, in my mind, something of a fail. I'm intent on waiting until the inevitable next iteration which will (hopefully) include the second analog stick built in.

When are Nintendo releasing a 3DS with the second analog stick already built in?
