Forums - Nintendo - Wii has now a HUGE competitor

Some might have expected that Wii userbase was about to upgrade after what was about to be shown at E3. Both Microsoft and Sony were presenting their final versions of their motion solutions with software and were adding the 3D to the HD offering.

As I see it, Wii userbase will very much consider upgrading... To a 3DS!!!

Most of the IPs which have been left out of the Wii offering will even be included as developers have shown an unprecedent (only seen on SNES) support: Assasin's Creed, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, Persona...

I never purchased a handheld. Never felt like doing it. Never, until now.

LoL, Microsoft and Sony are clearly behind

well, Microsoft has Kinect and Sony has 3D and PS move but they are both so similar to Wii and a 3D tv is way too expensive with no real reason to buy one at the moment

Ms and Sony motion controls are good, but too little and too late, with no Mario

3DS has awesome features, and games, the future!!



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

You have been missing out. I never owned a handheld until the DS, but man have I had a lot of fun with that thing.

But lucky you! You'll get access to all those great DS titles when you buy a 3DS. You'll still miss out on a few awesome GBA games, but you can't have it all.

Second. I'm looking forward to replace my breaking DSLite.

The best part of the non 3d stuff of the 3DS. Was Tag Mode GARBAGE. Tag MODE SUCKED. It was  great ideas. I've complained about Tag Mode ever since I first tried it. The likely hood of tag mode working was ridiculous. The machine has to be running a specific game and in sleep mode. That's bull. This new method of it just being on regardless of what your doing with the DS. That's going to create ground breaking connectivity. Having to be active in online options is the big break down. Now that's it's behind the scenes. Total win.

I love my PSP, but I can't wait for this. Move over Wii I have a new love.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I know right? I was like 3DS  will never replace wii. But when I saw what it can do and saw the games I was like. Wii your days are numbered after Zelda is relased anyway

I never meant Wii will be replaced by 3DS, not at all.

I was just mocking those who said that after the HD motion solutions Wii userbase would upgrade to one of them.



If they have Star Fox 64 3D, then they HAVE to make Ocarina of Time 3D.

 

COME ON NINTENDO!!!!!

That's 10 million consoles sold automatically!!!!!

 

3DS will take the gaming world by storm if you ask me.



I kinda felt they made Motion Controls old news and raised the stakes

I'm not sure that it's competition (i still don't think a handheld could replace a home console for me), but it's the first handheld I've thought about getting.
