Topic: If you were a Nintendo rep...

If you were a Nintendo representative and you were trying to sell someone a 3DS over a Vita, keep in mind this person has only the most basic of knowledge when it comes to 3D, Nintendo, Sony etc., what would you say to sell them that 3DS.

"Hi, my name is Reggie. I know I suck, so I will quit the company if you will buy a 3DS"

@y2josh, that was hilarious man!

"Animal Crossing" 'nough said. Haha. xD

This is a tough one, actually. I'm not sure what I'd say... Without being bias. Haha.
We all know where Nintendo stands. :3

• Tell them about some of the more popular games that can only be found on the 3DS (Zelda, Mario, Kid Icarus)
• Tell them about some unique features the 3DS has that most people don't know. (Face Raiders game, Street Pass games, and Netflix)
• Tell them they can still play regular DS games on their system.

That's about it I guess.

I would hug them. We would have a good cry together, and then I would walk them through some stress relief techniques. After that I would counsel some close family members and a close friend and try to get them to help me help their relative/friend. Finally, I would force them to buy a 3DS through manipulation and passive aggressive threats.

...yeah.

Tell them it's inexpensive, it won't break after one drop, it's portable, has the best 1st party titles as well as 3rd party titles, 3D is optional and you get can play any and most DS games, as well have an online shop to downloads hundreds of other games.

Yeh, I'd be a bad rep for that

If I was president, I'd put games before business- you know, like Iwata. Reggie has no background of game development as far as I know, where Iwata does which is why NoJ is the best of Nintendo's division.

Duh, when I try to encourage people to get one, to me the selling point isn't the 3D. Since people have so many excuses about it based on things they have seen about people getting, headaches, destroying eyes. Whats scary is that on streetpass day in Tulsa, some kid that was under the suggested age for the 3D had an seizure, which is why the parental control needs to be put on. I tell people it has better graphics and you can turn off the 3D, which is the truth.

Show them this in 3D

say? ... I guess I'd say "here's a playable demo of Kid Icarus"

If I were a Nintendo Rep I'd have a lot of good weapons and in no particular order:

• $150 vs $250
• 3DS has all it needs the in box, Vita requires a memory card to save 4GB to 32GB, proprietary Sony charges $30-150 for!
• Established leader in handhelds since 1989
• The upcoming holiday lineup and existing from them alone
• Monster Hunter 4 being on it, not Vita or PS3 as expected, and 3G Tri too before that
• Point out MGS, RE Revolutions, BitTrip, Cave Story, Williams Pinball, Ace Combat, and all the others that have a little of every valuable genre so it's something for everyone.
• Point out the virtual console and existing DSIware working too + 3DS ware
• DS games work as well from the full library
• Built in system apps makes system fairly self sufficient in the short term

That should be more than convincing. The Vita has for it more touch things, and a beefer cpu and ram load which will allow for more graphics to make it a console on the go. Pitch the 3DS as a handheld you can do for minutes or hours and be totally satisfied with the experience. Hell not that they would, people haven't in ages, but point out for the price of a vita and the needed memory card and 1 game, how many games you can get with the 3DS with its hardware. Genesis vs SNES did this in the day with price and library stacks on TV which was effective for a couple years. Show a 3DS and a stack of 5 games vs a Vita, memory and 1 game...or point out the total number of DS+3DS games vs Vita games at retail. That would hurt too.

Tell them there's really a Vita in the box.

"My body is half-ready."

lol Vita can't fit in the box of 3DS.. With the 3DS in it. That sasquatch would crush the baby! D:

But then again, it probably wouldn't damage it..

"Buy a 3DS or I'll kill you." takes out a gun

The trick is to not put a Vita in there

id go back in time b4 Aug and tell them about ambassador Games

Pretty much this. Yeah.

I'd tell them no self-respecting 20-something is going to play with the Vita and that you're never too old for Nintendo.

"You do know the Playstation Vita attracts Mormons, right?....but the 3DS...it's different story"

Tell them it's a pedometer, and the women will be all over it.
