GENIUS? Don't make me laugh.

 


I dont think anybody was thinking close to 44mil. That be a 90mil+ userbase O.o

That said, i think we should wait. Its currently 1 game, and might not be as many as many think. It could just be 4-6 games lifetime not compatible without the N3DS.

We'll find out eventually, there are games coming out next year that we kno wont need the N3DS.


Being the lifelong fan that I am, I sure hope they don't jump on a sword with this thing. Everyone knows their handhelds are their lifeblood.

It is a smart decision. I just feel bad for people that recently bought a 3DS.

It's horrible marketing that's going to hold this back.

And New 3DS exclusives? I'm going to ask you whether or not devs and publishers hate cash.

"Most concerning, however, is the prospect of 3DS/DSi content not necessarily being compatible on the new 3DS. According to Nintendo, that's because of a change in the position of the game card slot."


Thats for games that required attachments, since they obviously won't fit with the new location of the cartridge... I can't think of any.

This was what Wii U received and I wished that console did perform better.

This is pretty much made for more competative games like Smash/MH4G, but the extra horsepower and ability to actually emulate GBA and enable the porting up of old classics will do enough to sell the system. The smoother interface and user experience will also help move old users to newer hardware.

... No one likes the eshop loading times on the 3DS lol.

Yeah, loading times simply blow on the 3DS. I also recognize that this is going to be for those people who request those kinds of games (I specifically said to a friend that I think this was released as a reaction to Dragon Quest X and its need for ZL/ZR buttons emulated on the touchscreen.)

GBA Emulation on 3DS opens up a lot of doors. And, where's my Final Fantasy VI 3D remake, SqEnix?
