Nintendo 3DS
 

Nintendo E3 Network | Nintendo 3DS

Sounds really cool and worth getting!

Any opinions?

I'd be pretty pissed if I'd already purchased a DSi or DX XL. It sometimes seems like Nintendo shafts people more than Microsoft.

Well, yes and no. I mean anymore you can play the old software on the new systems, and I assume if you bought a DS recently, you did not pay as much as it was when it first came out.

Maybe thats just me though. I love video games, but I hardly ever buy new systems when the just come out anymore. I have to wait and see who is going to make the games that I want to play the most.

Why? It's 3D without glasses. That has nothing to do with, say, the advantages of the big XL screen. And they announced they were making it a while back, so it wasn't exactly a surprise.

It's just me, but I can't stand not having the newest things. They might have listed the 3DS a while back, but it sucks to have to choose between two completely different products. To you, the XL screen may be good, but to someone else, the 3D is good. Nintendo forces buyers to choose by putting several variations out on the market at the same time. It's not like it's a newer model, like from the DS to the DSi, but a different product. That's how I see it anyway.

I guess I am not understanding what the problem is. If they are going to put out more than one model in a year, I would rather it be something different (like XL and 3DS) than just an upgrade (like DS to DS lite). THEN I feel ripped off for buying the earlier model.

For me the DS and DSi are pretty different with the camera and mic options. It makes it much more interactive device.

But you are right, the 3DS is not a replacement, but a different system.

Sorry, I really don't get this, it's like saying 'The 3DS plays games in 3D, which is what it's advertised as doing and what consumers want, but despite it displaying games in 3D, it's a scam'. . . Why is it a scam when it does exactly what it claims to do?

Personally I love the DS. I don't really like games consoles that much, but since I got my DS when it first came out I still find myself playing it even now, like six years later. The DS has some great games in my opinion and some innovative ideas, so I really look forward to the 3DS :) I haven't actually seen any 3D TVs, but the fact that the 3DS can be in 3D without requiring those idiotic glasses - and is affordable - seems like a great idea to me. Assuming that the 3D graphics are what they live up to be then it sounds like a fabulous console.

Looks cool indeed, don't know if I'm going to get it. But my DS Lite is getting older... :rolleyes:

I think I'll get the 3DS, if.... there are some good rpg games for it. Otherwise I won't buy it. And I heard on g4tv that looking at the 3DS screen from the side makes you dizzy.:confused:

whoever churns these gadgets out must rub their hands with glee knowing that there are so many out there who simply Must have the latest gadget-- but really is it worth it? are they so much better?

same with mobiles etc, when will the public ever be satisfied? who pays for every new model? Is it really necessary?

It's not necessary, but I think it's just that when some one see's something new, they want it. Well... at least thats how I am. And also I think it's a bit of "shame" maybe? When ever you see someone texting, they have the newest phone or something, and I wouldn't wants to take out an "antique" phone then. Maybe it's the same with the DS?

I see no problems with the 3DS it seems pretty interesting. From what I saw in the E3 video you can, play DS games on it, games made for the 3DS, you can watch movies on it, and a few other things I forget.

There is even going to be a TON of RPGs for the system, I can't WAIT for that!! Oh and I think you can also use the 3DS to watch anime on. I hope, it still has the SD card slot so you CAN do that.

I'd be awesome to be able to reach out and touch the your favorite character, and beat up the characters you hate XD.

Oh, and if it still has that loop hole in the system you can download games that you don't have and play them on the system TOO!!!

I bought my DS Lite for almost 3 years, so I don't feel really piss off by this.

But I imagine if I just bought the i or i-XL recently, now I may feel like

-"Oh S....t, I just bought my DS then next generation DS is coming, then I have very few time to play the original DS game before having to migrate to 3DS because no new DS games coming out."

It feel like when PS2 came out and I still play PS1 with no new great game coming out for PS1.

I don't care about the system upgrade that much, so I didn't buy DSi because I feel like it's still the same platform as DS and DS-lite, but I think I gotta buy 3DS someday because at that time there won't be new DS game come out anymore.

The rumor is the release date fir the 3DS is November 20

Why would you look at it from the side?

I think it's been over a year since I bought my DSi, and the 3DS won't be out until next March or so.

Maybe in Japan. Not in the US.

I'm really excited about the 3ds. We'll just have to hope and really pray that those 3rd party developers make use of this technology to the fullest.
