I’m with you on that, the system is pretty small. I would prefer it to be bigger. I’m not buying one until they have that must have game, and I don’t think Zelda OOT is it, since I already played it on N64 back in the day.
I’m looking forward to Dead or Alive Dimensions in another week. It will be my third 3DS game. I picked up Pilotwings and Ridge Racer at launch. Both are a pretty good time, but nothing “OMG phenomenal!”. I’m really waiting for Kid Icarus. It looked absolutely amazing at last years E3.
I still can’t get over the $250 price. I know it’s an incredibly sophisticated piece of hardware, but $250? That’s too much for me to swing.
I can’t get over the lack of games.
No other system lets you take a picture of yourself, put it on helicopters and then shoot balls at it. Nintendo 3DS: Balls to the Face.
250 is a nice sizable chunk especially considering that the launch doesn’t have a killer app yet. It has good games but doesn’t quite have that ‘go to’ game yet. Then there’s the battery life to consider.
That being said the game are coming so there really isn’t an issue for me on that front. and I can just buy the nyko battery for extra life until the 3DS lite comes out.
Also whether it stays that price is going to depend on how things go this winter with the NGP. Sony is going to come out and have a wall of shit on wakeup coming out on the 3DS that they are going to have to contend with. Then there’s speculation on the price of this beastly handheld. If a version of it actually comes out at 300 AND has a better battery life with some good games out of the then I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo lowered the price $50 sometime next year. Just going to have to wait and see how it pans out.
i’d probably buy a 3ds just for this game.
The $250 price is pushing it in my opinion. I got it using a bunch of trade in credit so I didn’t have to hand over $250 cash. If I had, I’d feel I overpayed for it. It should be priced at $200 realisticly to make it more appealing to the consumer. The fact that there are really no “gotta have it” original games on it yet isn’t helping it reach its sales potential either. Color me an early adopter on this system mainly for the wow factor in general. That, and I won’t have to go huting for the system at retail in a few months when there IS a “gotta have it” title available.
Pretty much confirmed…
Truthfully, Nintendo did drop the DSi and the DSi XL within a year time I believe. That being said, they aren’t likely to release another version of the 3DS this year, I doubt they could make it any smaller yet then it already is and making a XL version would cost them more money. One thing you can always count with Nintendo hardware aside from quality first party stuff is that Nintendo is making profit off it.
I usually only have the slider on half way if I use the 3D effect at all playing SSF4. Maybe with another game I will be compelled to play it all the time in 3D.
Can’t wait for OoT 3D. Nintendo made a wise move including the Master Quest. I’ll most likely pick up a 3DS once the game’s out.
Just pre-ordered this. Case is sexy as hell.

This looks weak. Graphics look like ass and the gameplay looks stiff.
Can’t wait for OOT and Devil Survivor.
I was gonna finish Devil Survivor on the DS, but after I heard a 3DS version was coming out, I decided to put it down.
same here. Devil Surivor is mad fun, but battles can take a while and with a whole extra day added, I figured I better wait.
Fixed.
You can fix what I said all you want. This game is due out in September. Do you really seeing it improve that much between now and then?
Absolutely. If they aren’t satisfied with their work by the time September rolls around, they can just delay it like a lot of other companies do.
