US has the best deals yet the console sells poorly....whats wrong with you?!?


A weak handheld culture, lack of Animal Crossing, and virtually no homegrown games.


There are a lot of New 1st Party Nintendo IPs these past 2 years for the 3DS exclusively, I will even name some:

Dillon

Sakura

Ketzal's

Spirit Camera: the cursed memoir

Kid Icarus uprising

Pushmo

Crashmo

Dillion 2

Luigi's Mansion

Savvy style (for girls)

Steel Diver

And many others.....plus with even more to come for the Wii U exclusively.

 

Animal Crossing is in June but Monster hunter is this week & Luigi Mansion is during this month too. And there is already Castlevania Lors of Shadow 3DS, and also Pokémon coming out this month in America but may in Europe.

When I said "homegrown," I meant "from America."


Luigi's mansion is made in North America & dillon was made in America or Europe and same goes for Ketzal's. And I wouldn't be surprise if there are some others like maybe wonderful 101 or maybe that's Europe for Wonderful.

Mario kart 7 was made in Texas USA. And Retro is also working on something possibly new (America)

I might get the XL. It's on my to get list and that's pretty cheap, but I won't have use for it till Pokemon comes out, so .... I'll see.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Looks like I might pick up a 3DS sooner than I thought... was going to buy one closer to Pokémon but oh well. What game(s) should I get besides MK7? I like turn based JRPG's (hate strategy RPG"s), racing games, and platformers (beside the obvious Mario).



PSN: extremeM

PlayStation Vita Japanese Software Sales (Media Create Physical/ Famitsu Digital)

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon comes out in 7 days, you can download the free demo and see if you want to get the full game which you can just transfer the save data.

There are lots of free demos to download.

You can stream 120 refresh rate 3D trailers in the eShop too, like game trailers.

You can also type in the eShop search engine: "Nintendo Show 3D" and watch all of those episodes (3 minutes each with like 30 episodes total already)

So, a game that isn't out yet, a couple of downloadable titles, and part of a Japanese game were from America?

I still think the issue I underlined still stands. And it's not the 3DS's fault by any means. It's a good system. There are just relatively few developers in these parts making games for it. And I believe that hurts potential sales.

Well the Wii U is getting tons of 3rd Party Western games, but not much Japanese.

And the 3DS is getting a ton of 3rd Party Japanese games, and an Ok amount of 3rd Party Western games.

 

I thought you where talking about 1st Party games being made in America, LOL.



I updated the Thread for the $149 3DS XL at Toys "R" Us, coming next week.

But I think it's only the Pikachu edition:

I think I might just bite on this deal for the XL. Kinda wish (even though i liked my ambassador games) that I got the Zelda 3DS looking at its price now.
