About the D pad if you can play Street Fighter with it then you will have no problem. Which I have been currently doing. So 2D games on the 3DS will be no problem.
The problem I have with Malstrom is his extreme hardcore views. Yet he says his nothing like them. Also I'm registered on that shrine of a forum built for him. So I'm not saying anything I haven't said other there already.
In one word he says Nintendo needs to stick by their arcade values to be success. Then in another word it must be a Super Mario Bros game. Like it's the only game that has acrade values. If I remember pong was the first acrade game, and PacMan was the first huge star. Yet he is not crying for Nintendo to get those games on their console asap. So everything he feels and believes goes back to a game he just wants to have. Which is just as hardcore as gamers who think everything but a FPS sucks. In his opinion these people are whats wrong with gaming. Even though he feels the exact same way about Super Mario Bros. Still to cover that fact he says well it's Nintendo best selling game, and people will buy it. So it's perfect business sense to do so. I'm not going to sit here, and tell a company how they should run it.
EA seems to think that releasing Madden every year is perfect business sense.
Activision seems to think releasing Call Of Duty every year is perfect buisness sense. With the money it makes seems right to me.
Sony seems to think releasing sequels to all their titles every 2 years is perfect buisness sense.
So Nintendo feels that releaseing their main star in multiple genre games makes more sense. Then just releaing 2D Mario 4 times in one generation. Malstrom fails to notice during the NES era Mario was only in Super Mario Bros games. By the SNES we was in Mario Bros Games, RPG and Kart. N64 3D Mario, Kart, Smash,Paper, Tennis and Golf. Now In Wii Mario was 2 3D, 2D, Paper ,Soccer, Tennis , Baseball, Smash Collection ,and Sports Mix. I wonder how well Mario would be doing if 2D was released on a Ratchet and Clank shedule. 1 game every 2 years since 2002 thats a total of 9games. Isn't funny how 4 3D Mario game has out sold all 9 combined or maybe 1 2D Mario by it's self.
You know what happens when you feed a over weight kid too much of what they want. They either get fatter, die due to bad health or finally get smart and stop eating. Nintendo figures starving gamers, and then throwing them some beard is smarter. As a gamer the only choice you have is to wait for the bread, starve to death, or be smart. Never letting yourself get cut up in one experience.
