First person shooter will not work well on 3DS, lacks a second analogue nub.


mouse > stylo >> motion controls >>> analog sticks


Only for people who lack the skills to know better.  Stylus and motion controls are worthless for a shooter.

You seem to be the one lacking the skills to know better.

One analog stick + movement buttons works just as well as two analog sticks. And the Wii pointer is leagues ahead of dual analog sticks if you can configure its sensitivity. It's a lot closer to mouse controls than dual sticks can ever be.

There's supposed to be a good TPS coming soon. It's called Ironfall. If it does well, maybe we'll get more.

Personally, I own a Vita and I just don't know if FPS are a good fit for handhelds anymore. I used to buy them for the DS just to see if it could be done but the novelty has worn off, now. On Vita, even if you get an FPS that works well, you have to have Wi Fi to play online and if you're in a place with good Wi Fi, there's a pretty good chance you're in a place with a home console. Why play online on a portable if you have a console?


because only houses have wifi? and there is a 3g version

Or how about if your really good you can play no matter WHAT the control scheme is. Just a thought

Not so much that i dont want, i just dont care. I wouldnt buy it. IMHO after playing FPSs on DS and finding those to be crappy i would touch one on 3ds as I wouldnt see much improvement. Vita is a much better system for that type of game. Killzone Mercernaries is real good, and i dont see them topping that on 3ds hell I dont see them topping it at all on portables.

If that's your sentiment, why were you dissing the 3DS controls in the first place?

Yeah, I got the 3G version on day one.  3G is 100% useless for online gaming.  I guess if you want to go to Starbucks or Barnes and Noble and play online it's an option....but are you going to go to McDonald's or spend enough time in a hotel to justify the feature?

Resident Evil Revelations is excellent on 3DS, and has a multitude of control options. You can even set it so it switches to first person when you go to aim.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It would probably sell decently, but if you want major sales the Nintendo crowd is the wrong crowd even on the mighty 3DS.

First off, wiimote is crap.  The evidence is in Wii FPS games having a target lock feature, to make up for the fact that aiming and turning are seperate things and you cannot aim exactly where you want while turning.  Is a nice casual alternative control method, but for any serious competitive player it is utter crap.

Using the Turok N64 method leaves the 3DS with L, R, D-pad and touchscreen.  This is not even close to enough button options for modern day FPS titles, plus it removes the movement speed options a stick provides, meaning need another button which as said is already lacking using this method.


The best the 3DS can hope for is a Metroid Prime style, but that is not an FPS and it has a target lock on which is not good for an actual FPS game.

Those Wii U guys that play Call of Duty Black Ops beg to differ with you.  Also the guys that used the Move to play Killzone 3 on PS3 might want to have a word with you, too.  It's almost an unfair advantage how fast they can get on target without even having to aim down the sights.

How is a shooter supposed to be good on a system with only one analog stick?
