I don't care about Achievements, but 3DS is missing a key thing imo...downloadable demos, no one at Nintendo has talked about those yet, Am I right? Since 3DS games are going to be quite expensive, for me it's very important to try new games before buying, the lack of demos is still one my biggest issues with Wii and DS.

DS has demos, you just need a Wii to access retail DS demos over the internet

With all this internal memory, i would bet on 3DS having it, but as i've mentioned (and made a thread on), Nintendo hasn't said a thing about the system's online features or online shop yet

Yes it's ture...About DS, I know about Wiishop channel (or Nintendo channel?) demos but there are about 10/15 avaliable demos out of hundereds of games, I'm excpecting a lot more than this.

Hell no, achievements are the wrong way to go. They only add to the video gamer stigma the Wii and DS fought against.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Funny, you would think the ones that judge how others enjoy their gaming experience are the ones doing it wrong.

Didn't you skip out on one of the Mario Galaxy games for a Harry Potter game just for the sake of some cheevos?

Kind of. When I have a choice between the two, I do generally go for the one with achievements because I just like the sense of progress. I'm not playing for the achievements but they sure do help.

Besides, who is to say that is wrong?

Anybody can say it's wrong, really.

So it's me. It is me, to say that it is wrong.

That shit ain't right.

The majority of the people like to show others their new car, their new house, their new clothes, their new 3DS, not their achievements and trophies. So, sorry but no.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Actually, one of my co-workers came to work a few months back with a trophy he'd won at some karate tournament.

We all politely smiled, then laughed behind his back. True story.
