Also Beyonatta 2, Hyrule Warriors, and X are nothing like what the 3ds has in terms of games... And Mario Kart 8 and 3d World are more than just HD releases since MK has anti gravity and 3d World has 4 player coop and the levels are much better and etc... Have you seen the tracks in MK8? They look so zomfg! Everytime I show my friends those tracks, they just want to play the game! At least 4 of my friends are getting a wiiU just for MK8 after seeing the trailers |
I don't think he's suggesting that they're in any way exactly the same; just that they're very similar, and the moderate quality difference isn't enough to justify a $300 purchase.
Think of it this way: Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land are two very similar games. They run on the same engine, feature roughly the same story (King K. Rool steals DK's banana hoard), have exactly the same mechanics and playable characters, etc. One, however, was for the SNES, and the other for the Game Boy.
I would argue (and I think nearly everyone who played the two titles would agree with me) that DKC is easily the better game. The hardware limitations for the Game Boy are evident, the game looks much better on the SNES, the level design is a step up, etc. That said, the two games are quite similar, and I doubt the casual fan would be able to justify a console purchase to play another version of a game they can get (albeit with a moderate drop in quality) on a system they own already.
