this. and pokemon oh go-

Indeed. Once Pokemon's out, it'll be a done deal.

I hate to sound like a 5 year old kid...

But YAY POKEMON!

The only question now is what they'll name the games... I'm guessing Pokemon Three and Pokemon Dee.

Now that they have gone through most of the colours there is nothing more they could do :/

Pokemon Purple!

Pokemon B&W remake will be Pokémon Ebony and Pokémon Ivory. I'm calling it.

backwards compatability is not as big a hardware seller as most people on VGChartz think it is.


I, for one, would definitely not purchase a 3DS if it was not backwards compatible


Well yes, but if you take the reason for buying of VGChartz members (or members of pretty much any online computer gaming forum) and assume that the general gaming population shares those reasons you will reach incorrect conclusions. VGChartz members mostly appreciate backwards compatability (I do too btw) and so find it hard to recognise that the general population doesn't.

Hey, only a small minority of black people are African American!

They are making more profit per unit sold selling the DS over the 3DS, I think?

Plus, Nintendo isn't pushing the 3DS as much as they did for the Wii. Maybe they intented for the slower start?

And finally, 3DS haz no gamz.

I can't say if it'll work, but I actually think a slower start for the 3DS than the Wii is a good strategy in the long term.

For one thing, NIntendo are making loads of money by selling the system at a large profit atm. Another thing is that supply and demand are more in tune with each other, which can help build up the brand in a healthier way than it was with the Wii. The third reason this is good imo is that it prevents the system from gaining the "fad" status that Wii got when it was selling like crazy during the first 2 years. I actually believe many publishers looked at those insane sales numbers and classified Wii as a "fad" that couldn't be sustained, and started predicting an inevitable consumer backlash and a market crash then and there. It certainly caused a developer backlash, I'll tell you that.

Human beings need time to accept anything that is new and different, otherwise they tend to ignore it. This is true for developers and publishers as well.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

The 3DS has alienated the DS market for a multitude of reasons.

a.) The top screen and bottom screen don't match and can scratch each other.  This is especially problematic due to the chamshell design on the 3DS.

b.) The analog slider has priority over the D-pad.  2D games have sold more on DS than 3D games so it's only natural that those who like 2D games want to be able to the D-pad over the analog slider

c.) The high price and low value is really apparent.  The 3DS is a gaming dedicated device yet it has few games that have the mass market excited and few games coming up to further ignite interest.

d.) The 3D obsession.  The battery life and affordability was compromised for 3D and the headache-inducing 3D and other health warning has deterred the market.

I think the last thing Nintendo needs to do is the remove the DS.  The 3DS needs a redesign and a effective rebranding before Nintendo loses its handheld market for good.

Well, they're just black here. White people, black people, simple.

But black is already the name. Hence ebony. Ebony & Ivory sounds awesome.

Don't they go into huge protests and sue you if you call them black though? Hence the reason why the term "African American" was conjured up?

Anyway, I prefer your idea xD.

No, as far as I know black people are fine being called black and they call themselves black. At least my friends do. We don't have a term like that in Europe like you do in USA. That's what they are, black... it's as if I got angry for being called white.

Getting mad for calling black people black means you think there's something inherently bad with being black, that is what's racist. Inventing a term to avoid stating they're colour when stating our colour is fine is real racism.

Wow, I've gone extremely off-topic here. :-/ Sorry.
