@freesb   i was a a PS1 gamer also, but i did have friends who had N64 and you bet your ass i was at their house to play the first 3d Zelda

@kyliedog  i think your expecting way too much from the 3DS, its online is not going to be on par with the HD consoles, Ninty could have done it but it probably would have cost more money

Actually MGS3 is the only MGS I haven't really played simply because it was a PS2 exclusive when my PS2 burned up in a house fire, same reason I missed Kingdom Hearts 2....

So I welcome MGS3D with open arms cause I need to play it, hopefully it will be more like MGS, MGS PO, and MGS PW, rather than MGS2 and MGS4

Khuutra is 100% right as Kylie posted again if you two didn't notice

The man thinks talking to people face to face while playing your 3DS' together isn't using the device to be social (IE scope of his argument) but believes it has to have text and voice messages like Wii, PS3, and 360 to be a social device, which makes no logcial sense (btw he only listed PS3 and 360 purposely leaving out the Wii even though it sends text, voice, and pictures) 

And this is all before the big major update comes... cause... yeah... why would it have all these features like PS3 and 360 have if they weren't going to enable you to message them?  They are it will just be apart of the major update I can assure you of that.

Apparently being social with a device isn't being social in person, for whatever reason, local play is what sold the Wii, it's what sells Pokemon to this day, and what attracts people to some of the biggest FPS francises ever... cause what do you know most gamers aren't people that only socialize online... but they still want their devices to be a medium of socialization in person...

The same for me, but we played only multiplayer games, like Goldeneye007, but mostly Mario Kart 64 as we still do today on Wii. The only single player games I had already played at the time was Super Mario 64 and Starfox 64, also I had Sega Mega Drive before not the Snes, so the first Zelda game that got me into the series was Wind Waker. (very late I know)

That's incredible!!

where are you located in the world? Can you give an example of how one of these random encounters played out? I'd really love to hear other people's stories about things like this. thank you.

So I'm the only one who sees the tremendous potential in such a crossover??

Think about it guys, it just fits so well! Fisher has one eye too many with his night vision thing, Paper Mario has one eye too few being one sided Also, splinters are thin and flat and wooden, much like paper

It's as if they were made for each other! Not to mention the similar art styles and humor!

If the 'real problem' of the 3DS will come when the TV manufacturers releases mass market glassesless 3D TVs, then I would suggest that it is not a problem for the 3DS at all. It will be a problem for the next Nintendo handheld, because that's the kind of timeframe we're dealing with here.

Furthermore, saying that 3D on a small screen isn't all that and then saying that 3D smartphones will steal business from Nintendo is a self defeating argument.

Another great thread here.

Sorry, i may not be allowed to contradict, but how the hell????

Wii Sports and the whole Wii is and was always market as "family friendly". Just look at the spots for Wii Sports etc.

Man, i don't see the difference.

The family now has a activity (Wii Sports) that everybody, including grandma, little Charly, his little sister Kyli and her mom, enjoys. So the Wii was used to get the family together, or not?

Still the same old people talking about the same old stuff, I see... Not that it would be a bad thing.

And hi all! Long time no see.

On topic; it's hard to judge at this point if it has a problem or not (atleast in the long term) . So far there has been nothing that would get me to buy the device, like Brain Training did on the DS or Wii Sports on Wii. It looks like Nintendo is trying to get core gamers to buy the device, instead of getting new gamers, but maybe they have new audience games in the making as we speak.

In any case, if the game is bad or uninteresting on a 2D display, it's just as bad or uninteresting on a 3D one.
