Forums - Nintendo - Can anyone tell me what I am missing about the 3DS

You should buy a 3DS  simply for the games. It has many awesome first party games ( Mario Kart 7, Uprising,  Luigi's Masnion Dark Moon, etc..), but also many awesome 3rd party games ( Braverly Default, SMTIV, Dead or Alive Dimensions, etc...).

Have you guys ever thought that maybe OP already looked at all of the games? Do you have qualms with the HW, maybe?

Also, ktay has the prettiest post ever. So many colors!


You are pretty much the only one that gets it. Thank you

 

Why would I want to pay 40$ (Full retail price for a mobile game) what I can get on a smart phone for way less? Atleast the PSVita has reasonably priced Indies and the PSVita's full retail games are comparable the PS3/360 games.

 

40$

But graphics! The 3ds cannot run... whatever generic looking shooting game that is so it can't possibly have the best library of any current system out there right now.

This is exactly why your ways of looking at things is completly wrong. ALBW is 5times the game that is Killzone on the vita imo. Sure you don't have to take my words or any reviewers words for it. You can judge with screenshots and youtube videos but that would be a terrible and foolish mistake. I have a friend like you who did'nt want anything to do with the 3DS, he had the same mentality, judging 3DS games as inferior just because of screenshots he saw. Now he completed Mario and Luigi's Dream Team, said it was one of his favorite RPG ever and is now playing hours of MK7 and planning on buying a bunch of other games.

Your mentality is like someone seeing a trailer of the Lion King or Toy Story (two of the best movies ever imo) and say that they are garbage when you can watch movies with great realistic CGI like Transformers or Avengers... Everyone who saw the Lion King or Toy Story knows how stupid this way of thinking is but they will never convince you. They can try to show you as many arguments, trailers or scenes from these movies but you will never get it till you leave aside you presumptions and watch these movies with a open mind.

Same goes when you compare anime shows like Death Note or w/v anime you like to watch and dismissing it as kid crap cause it's ''cartoons''.

If you are the kind of guy who made his oppinion by looking at screenshots, I'm afraid that nothing anyone here will be able to say will ever convince you. That rigid way of thinking will cause you to miss out on alot of things, if comparing screenshots can wrongly reassure you that you made thw right choice of picking up a Vita over a 3DS despite what the world around you is saying, well good for you and keep on comparing screenshots and you will remain convinced and happy since someone who does'nt know how wrong he is can't be unhappy about it.

Someone who will never want to watch the Godfather, The Thing or the first Starwars trilogi because it's too old and old is crap in his oppinion can't be unhappy for not watching it. If he is convinced that today's UltraHD/3D CGI movies are the pinnacle of cinema it won't make him unhappy thinking that way. That's good for him I guess but moviegooers won't help it but to feel sorry for him neverless.

Not much if nintendo games are not your cup of tee and the third party games are often slim down version of their console counterpart, but I'm sure with the big library of games available on the 3ds there is at least 5-10 really good games for your taste, you just got to look a bit harder

Huh ? Are you confusing the 3DS library with another one ?



I am going to post one last response and then I am done with this thread and I recommend this to everyone else as well. The 3DS DOES NOT have console quality games for 2014 that is the bottom line and that is what I want. The 3DS is not getting one of my favorite games of 2012-13 (Terraria) or Minecraft.

The 3DS Zelda-s probably are better games than KZ but that does not mean the Zelda-s are not overpriced

PSVita has plenty of great Indies and I would rather have Indies than overpriced retail.

Does this make the 3DS a bad handheld? No, does it make it a bad console for me? Yes.

 

Metrium obviously does not get it at all. It is nothing to do with the graphics. Quite a few of my favorite games as of late have been 16-bit but they price theirself accordingly 3DS games are not priced accordingly. I can buy stuff from 2005 on my PSVita that cost 5$ with the same or higher quality that anything on 3DS. I need to buy Patapon on my Vita =)



WiiU and Vita fan?
