Topic: 3DS or new tablet?

@xBASSxMONSTAx And Nintendo has single-handedly changed the way you play games, interact with games, where you play games, how you view games, and the gaming market... your point? Apple is a company for tablets and computers. It is not a gaming company. Anyone who says that it is is wrong, and should feel wrong. Nintendo is a company for gaming. Nintendo makes consoles and games. They don't make computers or tablets with games as an added on feature. When you buy a 3DS or Wii U, it's for gaming. When you buy an iPhone or Mac, most of the time it's for other uses, with games as an added on feature.

So, as stated earlier, if you want a gaming machine, get a 3DS. If you want a tablet, get an iPad or iPhone.

Do explain. I don't get it.

Now i really hope the next ND shows Iwata BUYING an apple for some "odd" reason

If anything, I think a opposite scenario is more likely to happen. Sadly

An apple buying Iwata? In soviet Russia....

Or an apple offering Iwata to sell out and Iwata rejects it

Lol, I read it as the company Apple. Not AN apple. Haha

I was referring to the whole random fruit thing in past NDs and Iwata buying an apple would be apart of that randomness

Oh I know, I just can't pass up an opportunity to be silly.

Yeah, I get that now

Haha, yeah. I found it pretty funny.

Lol. But It somewhat makes sense, Nintendo having something to do with Apple, I mean, it's a fruit after all... or maybe the next one will be a tomato, and he'll throw it at the screen.

Iwata going mental on a Nintendo Direct, throwing fruit all over the place until some employees go out to stop him.

Now that'd be entertaining!.. And somewhat sad.

No no! Now follow what I'm saying here... then he unvails Miyamoto's latest game, Fruit Thrower!

_{For those who didn't get it, this is sarcasm.}

Miyamoto: "I got this idea from attending a horrible concert once. I hope you enjoy it."

It's funny. All the people saying iOS only has casual flash looking games. What about the Chaos Rings trilogy? The Final Fantasy remakes/ports? The World Ends With You? The Infinity Blade series? Bastion?

I haven't even followed iOS for awhile, & yet I know there are plenty of "real" games on it. I'm not saying it's better than the 3DS (which I love), but to say iOS has absolutely no games of at least equal quality is wrong. Yes, there is loads of crap too, but a system isn't only as good as it's worst games.

@RR529 That's kinda what I was saying, when I made my arguement. Yes, there are those games that are in depth and such, but most of them aren't all that great.

Quoted for truth.

It's not that iOS has no good games, it's that the good games I can already play on my 3DS and the other ones I'm not interested in

Are you saying that iOS has good games, but you're simply not interested in playing those that aren't also available on 3DS? If so, this is a complete 180 from your longstanding "iOS only has Mario rip-offs" stance and the most reasonable thing I've heard you say about the platform...ever.

I've got only an Android phone at this point, and while I do enjoy many of the games, none are up to the standards of the best 3DS retail titles in terms of depth.
True, some are surprisingly deep, and many 3DS games would do better as iOS releases (Theatrhythm comes to mind) but I have yet to play a game as deep as titles like Kid Icarus.

That, and all of the best games in my opinion that aren't ports or emulators are overshadowed by crap piles like Angry Birds and Doodle Jump.

As a comparison to Bass Monsta, I often find myself listening to music on my smartphone on the train, then pulling out my 3DS to play a better game then what I can play on Android and pulling it out when I need a hint from the internet.
