Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Does anybody else think the New Nintendo 3DS....sucks?

I mean, it's a 3DS so it automatically doesn't suck but it's got a lot of shortcomings.  I actually think I'll be using my old tiny original 3DS and Circle Pad Pro for certain games (was hoping I could sell it....).  Why?

 

- The analog nipple is trash.  I tried to play Ironfall, MGS3, and Resident Evil Revelaitons and using that thing to aim is an impossible task.  Nowhere near as precise as the CPP.  As a camera control, it's decent and most games aren't effected either way but I was so excited for this option.  Total disappointment.

 

- Can't switch ZL and ZR with L and R.  So, not only is aiming a chore, the buttons designated for firing or zooming in are super tough to reach and not intuitive at all.

 

- Resolution is crap.  I wasn't expecting HD or anything but I got the XL and the games just aren't up to today's standards when it comes to mobile devices.  3D is better than ever but damn.  PSP seems sharper.

 

-Battery is still shit.

 

I don't regret the purchase  and I will be spending time with it (Majora's Mask on the go?  Yes!!) but Nintendo really should have knocked this one out of the park.

you can't say shit like this on this site



I think that considering how the XL is and how much you are paying for the n3ds compared to the original XL. Its fine for the price. You are getting a faster CPU, more Ram, better 3d, a C-stick (while not a perfect replacement for analog stick), IPS display vs TN on the original, more buttons and some games even look better in terms of shadows and stuff in the n3ds than the 3ds as well as longer battery and a few other things

(Stolen From the Dengle, look at the shadows)

Pretty sure he can.  

The rule is that you can't just say something sucks, you have to give reasons.  

Good: "The PS4 is bad because such and such reasons"

Bad: "The PS4 sux"

The second will probably get you warned, maybe banned if you've done a lot of stuff lately to rile people up.  

The first one should be okay, because there's reason, and thought behind it.  

do you know how many nintendo fans there are on this site? they'll kill the poor op



Well the C-stick is a plus for those who didn't bother to buy the Circle pad

The resolution is only slightly upgraded from the standard so of course PSP will still win

I've been very happy with the New 3DS, personally. But I can see your reasoning.
