My main concern about the future of the 3DS is whether or not the majority of games will end up being 3D (I mean, 3D gameplay, not the stereoscopic 3D), basically turning the system into a portable N64/GC.

If that happens, there´s no way the 3DS will be able to replicate the success its predecessor has enjoyed.

That´s why I´m really curious to see Castlevania, Contra and others for the system...they´re being made, and if they´re 3D I´ll be extremely disappointed.

I wish handhelds (at least the ones from Nintendo) just remain more like a portable SNES, leave the more complex 3D gameplay to home consoles.

^^^thats funny a few people said that the Wii Paper Mario was not all that, but ive never touched any of the Paper Mario games so i'll have to take your word for it, then again your test does differ wildly from mine


Super Paper Mario was much different than any of the other Paper Mario games, humor and writing was still there (some might say a little too much writing) the game play changed up completely becoming action RPG rather than what the first two were, and Paper Mario 3D is in the normal style, so it's something to get really excited about.

Anyways since you got a Wii, you can find The Thousand Year Door for rather cheap, try it out.

Software and im not talking ports, soon as Ninty announces another Mario&Luigi im there or a new TWEWY, whichever comes first


Paper Mario is far superior! Mario & Luigi RPGs just seem like Paper Mario without the quirky humor, rather going for the cartoonish humor, and I love them both but after the Thousand Year Door if I hear a new Paper Mario is coming I get way more excited than a Mario & Luigi, though you know it's coming lol

Also nonports are what I've been playing not sure about anyone else, Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver, and Ridge Racer 3D are all original titles, SSFIV has yet to be on a Nintendo console, and the first time the full experience has been on the go.

Really the ports I'm interested in are dwarfed by the original content, MGS3, Star Fox 64, OoT, and maybe Splinter Cell vs Paper Mario, Mario Kart 3D, Super Mario 3D, two Resident Evil titles, the slew JRPGs, Animal Crossing, and probably most of all Professor Layton vs Ace Attorne


I agree and these(and many more) are pre E3 titles. After E3 their might be to many upcoming releases lol.

But ports are not always bad, imagine Burnout 3 for 3ds.

I more interested in this than a brand new version because it was the best burnout since it was released. And not too many people owned it(including myself)

Augmented reality, not alternate reality. I've told you this before.

Anyway, Mr Khan already said it: Games sell video game systems, not technology.

I like that "alternate reality" slip, it gives it an awkward charm!

Anyhow I agree about games and that 3D tech isn't a problem, the only possible problems that could come from tech are a pair of shortcomings, the screen could be larger, allowing to enjoy better 3D, that's touted as its main HW feature, and battery life should be longer. Two other flaws have nothing to do with tech, but with Ninty policies, the first is region lock, bad and obsolete idea always, even worse on portables, the second is the price, quite high for a portable, but it shouldn't really be a problem for now, as long as early adopters and enthusiasts are enough to buy what Ninty wishes to sell. When they run out, Ninty is always in time to cut price, if needed.

While you certainly need a significant number of high quality original games that take advantage of the capabilities of a system, ports offer a lot of value to gamers (especially on a handheld system).

If you look at people's playing habits, the vast majority of gamers probably didn't play 10% of the top 10% of games released for the Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBox, PSP, and Wii (the games most likely to be ported to the 3DS); and if developers port these games it means that there is a high quality game being released for the 3DS that most of the owers of the system haven't played.

^^^^ i think you guys arent giving gamers enough credit. Most of the high quality games that will be ported, most people have played, thats why they are high quality games. Zelda, who honestly has not played OoT by now??? MGS 3, most MG fans played it. Im not saying ports are bad but i dont want devs (Ninty included) getting lazy and resting on their laurels. we could have a Wii situation where games are ported and then we get little follow up. I dont think that will happen but you never know

You compare apples to oranges imo.

3DS is doomed because PS3 also has 3D??? NGP is praised as portable PS3 without 3D and should be the winner just cause of power? And then mobile phones with 3D will replace handhelds, but 3D on small display is shit?

Doesn't make sense imo,

everything you wrote is inconsequent!

Sorry leo-j, bad analysis.


Seriously, were you expecting good analysis from Leo-J? 


I could tell both of you didn't read the post, I really didn't want to respond to such a childish response, but I want to point out that not only did the poster you quoted nit pick what I said, and decide to throw in a couple of lines I didn't even mention "NGP should be the winner just cause of power", but he decided to throw it in a completely direction than what I was clearly going towards.

instead of coming into this thread and assuming you know who I am, and how much of an analyst I am, you should read the post and not make yourself look like someone trying to hurt someone else for the sake of a laugh, or attention.

 


Well, you said "...may eclipse the 3DS in power, ...and potentially match the NGP in power. So not only does nintendo have a problem but so does sony.."

How should i understand these lines? You are talking about power and this power leads to problems NOT ONLY for ninty, but also for sony. Perhaps i got it wrong, but you pointed out that power is problem and grafix power of NGP>3DS.

Whatsoever, imo grafix-power is no problem, mobile phones are no problem, glassless 3D on PS3 is no problem and even NGP (IMHO) is no problem for 3DS. So, i just wanted to disagree with what you said, that's it.

However, I agree I don't want developers to get lazy but, let's be relistic it takes some time to develop a quality game (in fact Re Revelations it's not coming out this year), at least on the launch window I prefer to have some ports rather than some rush-developed new games.

I LEft Consule Gaming for 10 years after SNES.  

PC gaming until 2008 When I perchased a Wii.  

So I also fall under the category of 

Has not played  =)

 

 

The hole 3DS is not scotial is the worst debat IMHO.  Its scotial, if you make it scotial, argument is a flawed argument.  Why

Well cause i can talk but if i chose to not talk then your saying talking isent scotial its the persone deciding to talk that is scotial.     lol    Being scotial has so many levels. Scotial is not as simple as your making it out to be. And I think you know that.

If online play is a option then its not the online play that is scotial its the person deciding to play online that is scotial. Its still not the system that is scotial its you deciding to be scotial by playing online.   Your being scotial not the System. What your saying is Nintendo 3DS is not the kind of soctial interaction you seek, but to say its not social would be admiting you not smart And i think you are so it leads me to belive that you just want to argu for arguing sake.

Holly bat Dong.   Can we plz debat something els. im beging you
