zero punctuation: 3DS

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Nintendo's latest cash grab.

Funny. One of his better satire reviews.

I just can't get over this 3D function with the 3DS. Was playing Street Fighter 4 and honestly, it felt like I was holding up one of those cheap 3D cards to my face that you move back and forth and the image moves. I was like $250 for this :?

Highly dissapointed with this. Almost feels like a comparison of what the PSP Go was to the PSP 3000. Not needed. I'll stay optimistic though, especially since I still have high hopes.

he hates 3ds

that thing he was saying bout street pass was one of his best moments in a while..made me laugh a fair bit.

I'm agree with his rant about 3D, but sadly, he was not as funny as always, well, to be fair, he hasn't been that funny since a long while.

Hard to disagree with his review. Also am I the only one who thinks that having handheld games be the same price as console titles is insane?

Does anyone actually take this guy seriously?

No. The Guy is funny sometimes and can make good points sometimes but I would never base a purchase of a game or hardware on his rants.

Not only the games, the hardware cost about the same as Ps3/360...

I honestly don't think anyone take this guy seriously, i found hilariuos when people say this is the only trusty reviewer, when in reality, he gets paid to rant on everything, has some valid points here and there, but most of the time, as he already said before, only focus on the negative things.

Good thing then that 3DS titles are $10 to $20 less than console titles. :)

He exaggerates the bad sides of what he "reviews".

I can't wait until he review the NGP.

I lol'd at the emphasizing keeping the system in a fixed position for 3d...then adding motion controls. His reviews arent supposed to be taken seriously but I have a hard time disputing anything he said.

[QUOTE="PS2_ROCKS"] Sure he gets paid to rant but it's not like hes making anything up. Why wouldn't I take him seriously?Bread_or_Decide

He exaggerates the bad sides of what he "reviews".

The man himself has said he ONLY focus on the bad side of the things and make them even bigger for the sake of the satire, though not a true reviewer, indeed he has some valid points, but hardly the most trusty reviewer, in fact, i wouldn't even call him a reviewer.

suprised he didn't talk about its high price at all

Well he is rich. Atleast I think he is. Hes got a bar, a book and an awesome job...and has made games although I think they were free.

He hates Nintendo with a passion, so I'm sure this will be a very fair and objective review.dzimm

I find your presumptiveness hilarious.

• I take him much more seriously than IGN or Gamespot.
• You're right when you say that he focuses on the negative things, but he happens to be spot-on correct 99% of the time. I know it hurts.

• I agree ZP is no longer funny, but then i never watched the videos with an intent to glean 'lulz'. I watched them to see some major fallacies of a popular game/platform pointed out by a chap which clearly escaped the more 'eminent' and 'respectable' members of the critics community. Who I'm sure you happen to endorse.

BTW read his Extra Punctuation columns. I hope then you would understand some part of the genius of someone whom you have so instantly dismissed as 'paid to rant at everything' and having 'some valid points here and there'.

Some of the ideas he has would make game designers blush and want to leave their jobs. Go on, and read them.

You'd do yourself a favour.

Why do I waste my time watching this guy's unfunny rants every week?

[QUOTE="dzimm"]He hates Nintendo with a passion, so I'm sure this will be a very fair and objective review.foxhound_fox

Because you secretly have a NAGGING doubt that he is right? That's why.

he bashed glaxy 2 because it was gaming copy-pasta.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]
No, he just hates casual-oriented Nintendo. He loves core-oriented Nintendo.

I used to, last one i read was that about regen health, genious? i won't deny he had a good carrer by making games, but IMO far from a genious, i stand by my point, sometimes he has some valid points here and there, but in Zero Puntuation, he gets paid to rant on everything and i would never trust his reviews knowing this.

[QUOTE="madsnakehhh"]

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] Well when something bugs him he focuses on it. Shrug. Just like when you love something you focus on the good stuff. In his never ending tirade of hatred he does say things about certain franchises and companies that needs to be said. The man has no love for electronic boxes. Unlike many here that do.

I agree with been a comedy video blog, and that's the only thing i think his show is.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]Awesome. Speaks da tooth. Bread_or_Decide

Not really. He's not funny at all.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]I'll admit that some of his reviews are genuinely funny. But when it comes to nintendo games though he's pretty damn predictable.foxhound_fox

He barely even reviewed the game. (Although there wasn't much to bash so maybe he went into that rant to fill up viewing time)

The thing about the sky and sea got me pretty good

Well, i personally found the idea he suggested (the luck system) in his regen health very ingenious, plausible, easy-to-implement and in short great.

If you found that article meh, then honestly I don't know what to say. I guess it's just your opinion and you think it is correct and are happy with it. And so am I with mine.

So cheers. :D
