The 3DS!

Arkhan Asylum · 04/23/2011, 03:53 PM

Yeah, but they had crap like that with webcams and advertising years ago. I remember having one where you print the piece of paper and hold it up and trees and shit pop up off the paper and dance around.

and this was at least 5 years ago.

So, im not really impressed yet lol.

I have never seen what you are talking about and I am totally impressed. It seems like a wonderful drug trip w/out the threat of being fired.

On a serious note if anyone is looking to pick up some games.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000675501

Two for $50, Street Fighter and Steel Diver aren't on there, but I returned my Ghost Recon to best buy and picked it up on amazon along w/ Ridge Racer.

Including the $25 promotion for buying the system i have paid about $22 per game for the 3 games I own.

geralds · 04/27/2011, 06:27 AM

Iv been playing my for a while and only street fighter is doing it for me even thats a little lacking. Some games i just can not see the 3d at all like in rayman. 3ds by far has a real lame launch. When it comes to ports of n64 meh they port games all the time so its nothing new and they do help sell systems. Also what can i say im sucker for zelda games.

The virtual boy doesn't exist, and the N64 and Gamecube were successful despite sucking from what I remember.

My entire school was touching themselves when 007 and OOT came out

holy shit.

hoooooooooooly

OOT = 007 in 1337

what the fuck.

im done

Bernie · 04/29/2011, 02:02 AM

Held one in hand yesterday, played for a bit at the store. I dont like it. Not impressed at all. For the money, the DSiXL is the handheld unit for me. If I want more depth than that, I will just look away from the DS....

Duo_R · 06/30/2011, 12:55 AM

OK with the buy one get one 50% off on Zelda I got suckered into buying one. I got the system for $211 shipped from drugstore.com which I am happy with. Anyone try Street Fighter online yet?

Very little lag online and it is a lot of fun. Just know what you are getting into, the game plays considerably different with one-button special moves.

Joe Redifer · 06/30/2011, 12:11 PM

You got yours from drugstore.com? What's next, being able to order them from McDonald's web site?

Duo_R · 06/30/2011, 09:57 PM

yeah cheapest price on the internetz.

Duo_R · 07/02/2011, 05:40 PM

How about about some friend codes? Add me up

4468-1086-5671

The only multiplayer I got is SSIV

I also have Zelda and PES2011. What games does everyone have now?

TheClash603 · 07/02/2011, 06:12 PM

Don't have my friend code handy, so hopefully the thread gets bumped to remind me. Currently I own SSFIV, Pilotwings, Ridge Racer, Dream Trigger, Zelda, and Dead or Alive. I have really enjoyed the system so far, and it just keeps getting better.

BlueBMW · 07/03/2011, 09:27 AM

Some guy at my work got one of those new smart phones that has a 3D camera on it... made my eyes hurt lol.

I suppose someday I'll get a 3DS, but it'll be a bit.

nectarsis · 07/03/2011, 08:37 PM

Tried a 3ds at windys, Ridge Racer was cool...3D didn't really wow me. Maybe when the library actually gets some MUST own games I may bite....as of now, still very underwhelmed.

TheClash603 · 07/03/2011, 08:53 PM

Ebay has a lot of the launch games for $20 now, just picked up a cheapo Bust-A-Move for $15.

It looked like they improved the textures in OoT too...

gah, makes me want to get it.

roflmao · 07/04/2011, 12:03 AM

I loved Ocarina of Time. :p It was probably one of my favorite games for the N64. Still I don't want to go out and get the 3DS to play it again... Just saying.

TheClash603 · 07/04/2011, 12:37 AM

Let's just hope the Smash Brothers double offering (probably 2 years away) is as awesome as I think it will be. It will be the reason to own the system, if it is as good as the prior 2 games.

However, they should give up on remaking these N64 games, and stick to originals. I hope Kid Icarus outsells Ocarina (it won't), so that Nintendo stops with the remakes.

...now a direct sequel to Mario Sunshine on the other hand would be pretty sweet. They are doing a Luigi's Mansion, so I can dream.

BlueBMW · 07/04/2011, 12:38 AM

I loved it to, and I replayed it on GC with Master Quest, but now that I see they've tweaked a few things... made some stuff look better... oh man. And that creepy awesome music from the forest temple...

dang... where to raise some fundage... and fast

Edit: This music theme....

roflmao · 07/04/2011, 11:50 AM

Wow, that music brings back memories.

"Yah!" (swish!)

"Hunh!" (rolled into something...)

"Hey!" (Shut up, Navi!)

Fatality · 07/06/2011, 12:54 AM

I got a 3DS and I only have 3 games for it so far and they are Super Street Fighter IV, Zelda: OoT 3D, and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. I like all 3 games so far. Zelda looks beautiful and I'm really digging the 3D. I'm almost done with the game just have to beat the Spirit Temple. Since I loved Mercenaries in Resident Evil 4 and 5, getting Mercenaries 3D was a no brainer. I'm having a lot of fun with Mercenaries, but have yet to play online where Mercenaries shines.

DragonmasterDan · 07/06/2011, 07:05 AM

I have Super SF IV, Super Monkey Ball, Ridge Racer 3D, Pilotwings Resort, and Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/08/2011, 03:04 PM

I traded pilotwings in for a CD on Amazon, lol

TR0N · 07/20/2011, 02:23 AM

It's official megaman legends 3 for 3DS has been cancel

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/07/18/mega-man-legends-3-canceled-prototype-version-also-canned/

This gives me less of a reason to get a 3DS currently.

TheClash603 · 07/20/2011, 07:12 AM

I can live with this, since the Legends series kinda sucks.

Duo_R · 07/20/2011, 01:17 PM

Some of the titles on sale at Best Buy, OOT, Ridge Racer, Rayman, PES2011. PES 2011 and Rayman both pretty cheep like 25.

Sorry i have to disagree with that while MML 1&2 were not the,best mega-man titles ever made.Still i enjoy them both and yes i know they have there flaws.

I still 'think capcom should have released the beta for a try out at least.If it failed then it wouldn't have been a big deal to it's fans for a cancel.

Agreed. I am not a fan of this series at all, but I think Capcom handled themselves really poorly on this one. You shouldn't build something up for a big release and then pull the plug without a decent explanation. At the very least you should be polite about it. Capcom couldn't even manage that.

Kinda reminds me of the Operation Rainfall thing, actually....

Duo_R · 07/24/2011, 01:01 PM

Heads up Ridge Racer 3D on sale at Best Buy for $19.99, SSF is $29.99, and buy Zelda get Steel diver or Pilotwings 50% off. I am snagging Ridge Racer today. Also some accessories are on sale including the Ultimate Starter Pack.

Duo_R · 07/24/2011, 01:20 PM

TRU is doing buy one get one free on the following:

Madden, Sims, Rayman, Asphalt, Transformers, PES 2011, Ridge Racer, Dinosaurs.

I don't have any of these which would be worth picking up besides ridge racer.

DragonmasterDan · 07/28/2011, 08:13 AM

There is an impending 3DS price drop.

http://original-gamer.com/?action=article&id=2676

BlueBMW · 07/28/2011, 12:43 PM

I saw that! Glad I've been holding off. Though it seems awful quick for a price drop. that Nintendo posted their first loss in 27 years or something like that.

ParanoiaDragon · 07/28/2011, 12:56 PM

I think of 3 things, sluggish sales in general compared to what Nintendo expected, the PSP is almost every week outselling the 3DS, & the PSV is coming out in a couple months. I think Nintendo's getting nervous!

Nazi NecroPhile · 07/28/2011, 01:04 PM

I guess they're hoping that if the price is low enough nobody will notice the library's crappiness.

SuperDeadite · 07/28/2011, 01:10 PM

Considering it has no games, it's currently worth nothing. For what this costs you can probably get 4-6 copies of Virtual Cameraman 2 which is a far better use of your money then whatever Shitendo is selling.

The library isn't developed yet, and the price was high. Nintendo also released it at a bad time of the year. I suspect sales will pick up drastically as the holiday season nears in the next few months.

nectarsis · 07/28/2011, 05:47 PM

4 months in and a DAMN big price drop reeks of desperation. Better hope some damn solid games come out by Xmas.

csgx1 · 07/28/2011, 05:56 PM

Damn, that's a significant price drop for a system that hasn't been out for too long. Sales must really be hurting.

I may bite at this price but they need to release some better games first.

TheClash603 · 07/29/2011, 07:10 AM

I have played a ton of Dead or Alive as of late, got some good fun from Resident Evil, and made it a good hunk of the way through Zelda. To me there are some good games out there, so I don't know why everyone always complains about the library.

I'm very happy to be an ambassador, give me those 20 games!

Because the library is still tiny with not much coming of note until the holidays (at least none I've seen). IMO they should have waited until closer to the holidays to launch...be better prepared.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/29/2011, 10:35 PM

the library is fucking retarded, its not going to get any better for awhile.

Its a pretty paperweight that takes pictures. Thats it.

It also plays regular DS games, and while the library is lousy now that will eventually change.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/30/2011, 12:51 AM

My DS I (and basically everyone on the friggin planet) already owned, can play DS games.

Megaman got cancelled. Is the lousy really going to get better?

I hope it does get better but things look bad

Yeah, what good original games are coming out anytime soon? The only ones off the top of my head are Kid Icarus and Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright. Everything else I've seen either is a port or doesn't look that interesting. Compare this to the Virtual Boy. 14 games in the US, and only 1 of them was a port. And stuff like Virtual Boy Wario Land, Red Alarm, and Vertical Force were really strong titles. I haven't seen any original 3DS games near the quality of those three titles.

TheClash603 · 07/31/2011, 01:43 AM

New Mario and Mario Kart, as well as the Kid Icarus that are coming before Christmas. Three blockbuster games, which aren't ports, within 8 months of launch? That's pretty solid to me!

Duo_R · 08/08/2011, 10:49 AM

both the 3DS and the PSP vita will be facing competition with mobile platforms, and with processors like Snapdragon S3, the portable gaming market will become more and more difficult to compete in.

Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Cave Story 3d looked like solid titles to me.

See, for me, I can't even begin to understand the mobile phone market. I guess for one, I don't have a "smart" phone, plus, if I did, I wouldn't want it to be some kind of primary game device. I don't want to buy a bunch of games, & bring my device with me to work, etc. & get it absolutely trashed!

I'm very careful with my PSP & DS, I'm selective of where & when I take them with, as I don't want them to get damaged. Plus, I want to be able to play my games forever. On a phone, who knows when they'll stop offering *insert game name here* & there's no way to ever get it again. I have a few games on one of my old phones, & those games are no longer offered. Once they're gone, they're gone & that's it. I have no hope of playing those games ever again. Like Bonk's Return(not that it was a great game), it's gone, & that's it.

But, onto the most important part, I want a friggin' controller! I don't want some stupid touch pad that tries to emulate controls on the screen, I want an actual d-pad &/or analog stick, & I want actual buttons, that are nice & comfortable! The closest thing I can think of phonewise that would do this, is that Playstation phone, but, I have no desire for it, as I already have a PS1, not to mention I can just rip my games onto my PSP.

So, in short, I'm quite baffled that the mobile phone game market is taking off as much as it seems to be. I can see it for maybe cheap lil' games like crossword puzzles & Angry Birds or whatever, but....I don't want to play the latest Mario, Sly Cooper, Red Faction, Uncharted, Jak & Daxter, Final Fantasy, etc.....on a friggin' phone. And I wouldn't be happy with an external controller to connect to a phone either, I want to actually hold the device in my hand, rather then looking at it propped on a table.
