| RolStoppable said: The DS launch period was atrocious, especially when it came to third party games. The best available third party title after six months was Sega's Feel the Magic XY a.k.a. Project Rub and aside from Konami's Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow there is no other third party game worth mentioning that was released within the DS's first year on the market. The 3DS third party games are indeed good, but so far they all fall into the complimentary purchases camp and as such they are dependent on other titles selling the hardware first. That's the job of first party software, but that isn't there just yet and by the look of things it won't be anytime soon. The whole problem is based on the ill-belief that third parties had a hard time selling their software on Nintendo systems due to Nintendo games. We, the gamers, know the real reason though: Third party games just weren't good enough. I don't know why Nintendo thought that it would be a good idea to listen to third parties instead of telling them to make better games. Well, maybe that might have come across as offensive even though it is the truth. |
I remember Project Rub, but I wasn't sure it was a out during the first year. There is really no minigame experimental title on the 3DS yet, maybe that Capcom 3D sound game. About the rest I agree.
The Crush 3D developer just knows they game is even worse than the PSP version, so they are scared it will not sell during the holidays. If they truly thought the game was quality, it could withstand the busiest time of the year and reap the effort... but they know and we know.

You consider Mario Kart a rehash? And Uncharted is no rehash. The only reason I would buy a PSV from the launch software known would be Smart As, and it's the same on the 3DS camp but I was more interested in Shadow Wars. I didn't buy a 3DS back then, and I won't buy a PSV when it gets released.
See myself this generation sticking with a household handheld (since I've rarely played with my DS outside), and that one will be the U controller.
