I hope the vita wins. It is a better a console. The 3d on the 3ds is just a gimmick.

I think "gimmick" has become the most overused and annoying word on video game forums.


Cool story bro, but that has nothing got to do with what i said. One of my family members has a 3ds with super street fighter and steel diver. I found super street fighter to be embarissing in comparison to the ps3/360 counterparts. Flat and still backgrounds and the 3d was average at best. The fact I could pull a super or ultra move with simply a touch of the screen took the  trill out of the game entirely. Steel diver was pathetic. I have Zelda: OOT on virtual console and N64 so no need for me to get it on 3ds. Nintendo should be worried if the vita launches this year. The hardware alone and sheer value for money on the vita makes the 3ds look like a kids toy. IMO.

It might be a gimmick, just like what every piece of gaming hardware has in one form or another, but Dead or Alive Dimensions puts SSF4 to shame with what is offered in the package, and you can't say no to bouncing boobs in 3D, it's a gimmick, but it's a sweet boobie gimmick. I also haven't touched OOT since N64, so for people like me, this game is super awesome with updated assets in 3D now. Star Fox 64 3D is also pre-ordered because I haven't played a better Star Fox game before nor after it after I played it on N64, and now it's finally updated and 3D looks really nice with that game. I also have a 3DTV, I play PS3 games or PC games in 3D as well, it adds a lot of good qualities to the games, especially a game like GT5 played with G27 and a playseat, gimmicks, prolly, but do they enhance your games? Absolutely.

I also can't stress enough that all consoles and handheld gaming devices are toys if they don't offer more computing functionalities like a smart phone or a tablet because what are games but replacement for toys? moot "IMO" really.

and Nintendo is worried, that's why their holiday line up is in full force now, they gave 3rd party a chance, and only a few took that right away and made some good money off of it, now the real game begins, and with full force 3rd party games at the ready in 2012 finally, they will start to destroy the sales chart again.

I have 0 interest in something like Uncharted on PSV when I know U3 in 3D will blow it out of the water and a hand-held spin off can't possibly get anywhere near it. When they come out with more of what I'm seeing on a portable game level, I will take more interest in it and maybe buy it a few years later like I did with my PSPs.
