nintendo needs to do something with the wiiu get more games and price drop


I think allowing discounts here and there at retailers would be better than an actual official price cut. More games for sure.

But you never know what you are getting with 3D at the movies. Usually it is a very subtle effect and is not even worth the extra 2 dollars. I have only seen maybe 3 movies ever, that were worth seeing in 3D. Same with the 3DS.


I always go see the IMAX version when there is one for the 3D movie.

The Great Gatsby looks good on smaller size theater screen because there was no IMAX size to format the 3D effect for.

Star Trek 2 3D will look good on any size theater screen.

Plus the 3D movies shown in theaters have their 3D images reformatted before release on 60 fps DVDs & streaming (VuDu, and others coming soon like Hulu Plus).

 

I do blame lazy formatters for only formatting the 2 images for the IMAX size screen for the theaters, but hopefully they will start formatting a 200+ inch size and a 500+ inch size as well for when there is a IMAX size they are formatting for.

The 3DS depends on individual game, plus you need the depth slider all the way up, and sometimes turn it slightly down if the 3D gets reduce when you put the depth slider all the way up, which happens to me on certain firmwares.

The newer the 3DS game is, the better the 3D effect is (i.e. February 2012 & November 2012 & March 2013 & let's wait til October 2013 to see how much greater it becomes).

So the 3D effect in the 3DS depends on the game, which gets better with newer games, as November 2012 & up is really showing us.
