Metallicube, what´s your opinion on the 3DS based on what you´ve seen and read?...Malstrom seems to think it´ll be "a new N64".

This is where I differ from Malstrom (I know, surprising isn't it! ;))

Looking at the massive amount of quality titles, both 1st and 3rd party, I just don't see how this thing can fail, or underdeliver or whatever, like he does. Also, Nintendo made it clear that 2D Mario will be appearing on the platform, which N64 did not have. However, at the same time, I don't see the 3DS surpassing ever usurping the DS in sales. It needs games that appeal to new markets, not just sequels of existing games like another Nintendogs and Brain Age. I think also that it looks a little too much like PSP in that it's more of a handheld device with home console style games.

I think glassessless 3D is a great thing, as long as the games themselves don't rely too heavilly on them at the expense of the actual gameplay.


I don´t think any system will manage to surpass the DS for quite some time....when all is said and done, the thing will have sold what, about 160, 170 million units?....though nothing is known about what the next gen Playstation, Xbox and N6 will be like, it´s hard to imagine any one of them beating the DS.

D.S. is the right system with the right games at the right time (like PS2 was). I have to agree I dont see it happening again on such a big scale.

At first I was really excited for the 3DS I am starting to worry some with the game selection. I am glad it is getting 3rd party support from the get  go, but its the style of games we normally find on a Sony platform. Peronally not really my style of games and I hope they keep on current track and  do not do a U turn and try to be what gaming industry wants them to be.

What does it matter to anyone but them if they are 1st anyways? As long as they are making money and making games I enjoy I could care less if they are 10th
