Will you be able to play Pokémon, Zelda, 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Kirby, Star Fox or Dragon Quest on your glass-free 3D TV/powerful smartphone? No?

Heh, looks like the 3DS has no problem and will be more relevant than any smartphone for years and years.

Now you can close this thread because games makes the platform and not power, the DS already proved it.

@fresb  where the hell have you been??? seriously, if you have not played OoT by now, you simply didnt want to play it. Its on WiiWare for 10 bucks for gods sake, do yourself a favor and dont wait. While your at it add Majora's Mask to that (best 3d Zelda IMO) Yeah i see your point but even then some companies throw out lazy ports (Rayman ??? oh Ubi, id hate you if it wasnt for AC).

its a shame people are relying on a game that released over 10 years ago to sell a system

It's more like "3D" has a problem than just "3DS" has a problem.

The 3d market is hard to buy into with a lot of the recent negative media behind it. People have been told their kids can't see it as it might permanently damage their vision. I mean, after hearing that, who would ever want to buy a 3d product? This is sort of Nintendo's fault since they were the first to put out this information. I realize they are trying to avoid lawsuits but come on. They've likely shot themselves in the foot and they will still get lawsuits anyways (there is never an end to the amount of sue-happy people wanting to make a quick buck). 

Plus there has been lots of spinning about headaches and sickness. Anyone who has actually played it knows this is overblown.

I keep saying Nintendo has to take the focus off the 3d and put it on the games. That's what is going to sell the 3DS.

The OOT remake is no different than Super Mario 64 DS in terms of its purpose in the 3DS' library.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

 Good point  mortono

Even the Best PR in the world cant control all the Damage this can produce.  It is the Systems Bigest flaw,

 as we all know Nintendo Succeeds because it never lost touch of the true Core of the industry, Kids.

 

 

 

 This adds a reason some will not buy the system. Will the HardCore buy this hardware more cause of its 3D capacities.

  maybe a little but not as many dont buy the system for there kids cause of the warnings.

 

 Thats the flaw of this system.    The more you move away from the Core the less chance you have for massive success.                                                                                                                                                                                                            (

 

 

 

           (to me the Core are Kids cause thats what spawned and supported this industryfromthestart)                      

 

 

 

           (The hardcore is the kids that decided to keep playing well after they became adults) 

 Im not saying  this will compleatly kill this system.   But i think it will slow it compared to the DS.

Nintendo will keep making games that, appeal to kids, and the 2 other systems dont as much (though i think there starting to clue in on that, MS I think is starting to understand that now), so really Nintendo is lucky to be fighting this out with 2 other clueless companies that dont even understand why this market even exists in the first place.

  If the 2 other companys where trying to take the Core market from Nintendo then id say this flaw would be much more damaging.

You´re completely right about that...like I said, my main concern about the future of the 3DS is the system turning into a 'portable N64/GC'...if the majority of the games end up being 3D (3D gameplay), then there´s no chance of this system replicating the success of the DS.

I just don´t like that now there´s a real chance the Castlevania that´s being made for the 3DS will be '3D'...I hope it remains 2D, but Konami might feel 'tempted'..

I dont think this will happen.   Though i cant explain why.   

If this happens then My foundation in understanding of where the industry is in its evolution

Is totaly flawed. 

 

So in other word  . I hope your rong lol

Jsut a thought on glassless 3DTVs, they're likely about 3-5 years away yet before they come into play (strictly due to the expense to manufacture) , and another 3 years after that before they become affordable.


As for cell phones/smartphones, even now they're kind of clumsy for gaming except fairly simple/casual games, imo of course. Others may feel differently.
