| Cream147 said: While the Wii U has been dominating Nintendo conversation it seems that something has happened in the background with only a couple of people acknowledging it. The 3DS has died. To make my point, let's first examine what Wii U owners have to look forward to between now and the end of the year.
It's not a lot to be sure, but let's contrast it with what the 3DS has to offer:
Hmm. 3DS does have Fire Emblem If slated for 2016, but that's pretty much it. For a console that got a new iteration this year, that's pretty awful. Now, I know that E3 is incoming, but this isn't just a shortage of games like we're seeing on the Wii U - this is a superdrought. Surely to bring any respectability to the 3DS they need to announce 5+ new big games for it at E3, which I do not see happening. I have to say I really thought Pokémon needed a year off, but it looks like they'll need to wheel it out again this year just to save the 3DS this holiday. So I've said my piece, what do you think? Dead or alive? |
the 3DS just had LoZ: Majora's Mask, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Codename STEAM, Fossil Fighters, SMT: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. There hasn't been one month so far where it got no games. They might not be "big" titles, but not every game will be.
Also, the 3DS has upcoming Monster Hunter Stories, Stella Glow, Fire Emblem If, Bravely Second, Final Fantasy Explorers (if it gets localized), LEGO Jurassic Park, Yo-kai Watch (Which IS getting localized), Rodea The Sky Solider and the inevitable next Pokemon game (X2 and Y2 or Pokemon Z or whatever they decide to do)
Then we have a bunch that will be announced at E3. It's Alive and strong.
ALSO: The Wii U has LEGO Jurassic Park, LEGO Dimensions, Guitar Hero Live, Project CARS, Devil's Third, Fatal Frame V, SMT x FE (Which is coming this year to Japan) Rodea the Sky Solider, Mighty No. 9 and Legend of Kay Aniversary this year so far. Make sure you add them all.
