Why did SS fail to soar?

Motion controls.

After all the great games we're expecting to see, the sales will probably more than double by next year

Looks like some pretty good figures, keep it up, 3DS!

@James I didn't know America has sold the most so far. Cool. I'll have to remember those figures.

CAN'T WAIT!!! GO NINTENDO!!!

I don't particularly like this new design... I didn't like the sticks because of how big the controller is, and the buttons almost look out of place.

But if this is the final design, I'm sure Nintendo has a good reason behind it.

Nintendo, give us something new-something that'll use the U's remote, gyro, and HD very nicely. Something that'll use the U's capabilities, that is a good idea.

Mario always helps, but there needs to be something new-something that uses the device's controls well. Pilotwings Resort was OK, but didn't really use all the 3DS could offer. Kid Icarus, however, did. As did Mario Kart 7. Suer Mario 3D Land, yes, would've helped sales, but doesn't use all the controls. It barely uses gyro controls.

However, you must realize, it was good Nintendo didn't have a Mario at launch. It helped them see that the console cost too much.

However, no new Zelda on a console isn't good. It's been over a year and so far, we've heard they're working on it, and that's it. Maybe we'll see it at E3, but I sorta doubt it.

I'll pass. Still waiting for a lot of games, plus E3 is just around the corner.

@PikminMonster there really oughta be more people that make games, considering so many people want a certain game with certain rules that works a certain ways and certain controls and a certain story with certain graphics on a certain system that they also should make...

@Blaketoberfest preparing for E3, most likely.

@childofacid yes but no. Yes, it does somewhat respond to color. No, this sn't the major part of the game and no, this isn't a game in itself. If there were a game like that described above, yes it woud react to color, yes it wold be the biggest part of the game, UNLIKE AR fishing. You would have to plan strategically(maybe) instead of-there-you got a fish. It would be differant than the current game.

Yeah, looks sorta like a new version of 3DS. Round power button, differant configuration of speakers...

Anyways, cool. AR games is nice but i got boring after a while. Hopefully this means Nintendo isn't going to continue ignoring it's full capability. I hope to see an updated AR game before too long or a full eShop AR game, to keep AR games alive.

My brother wants a DS game that you can buy a car for and drive and crash and waste money

I'll have to download the Rayman Origins Demo, hoping that it isn't as much of a piece of crap as Rayman 3D was.

Interesting. I can't wait to see all the possibilities at E3

Maybe... could've used some HEADS UP NINTENDO

WHERE'S MAH ORIGINAL SONIC DA HEDGEHOG?!?!?!?!

The Circle Pad Pro Pro.

You heard it here first.

@James that's a reasonable estimate

MAKA WUHU TIME! TIME TO SHOW DEM NOOBS WHO'S BOSS!

I will try to play online today to watch a ton of NOOBS FAIL!!!!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More VR for me, noobs!
Bet ya wish ya never cheated

In its current form, the Circle Pad is fine.
However, if they make a new one, redesign, whatever, ok. I'm sure they have a reason behind it.

@BenAV I saw that too

YAY!!! NO MORE STUPID GLITCH!!!

Interesting

I really didn't care too much about gaming until the DS. Then with the Wii, that was GREAT, and now I'm completely inyo it with the 3DS

NEVER SELL IMPORTANT CARTRIDGES! It makes you cry, just like Luigi up there above me in the comments.

KIU, SSBB, MK7.

@Mercury9 You really have something bad to say about everything, don't you?
As far as that goes, special 3D YouTube vids, maybe?

For all thiose that are wondering with the beatable infinite levels- there's probably a mode that's defatable and a mode that has randomly generated levels.

WTF??? WOW... I might actually get this to see myself fail.

Interesting idea....Nintendo make this a reality!

i can see the reason behind this though, just as computer games and phone games were a piece of crap 10 years ago, look at them now. Mayb that' what they plan to do with the 3DS. Start as good as they can and get better.

Looks pretty cool, I think that somehow Nintendo could do something with 2D. The question it- Will they?

I'm hoping for another KI, but Nintendo, take your time with the next SSB. I'm not expecting another KI for, idk, 5-6 years. But yes, Nintendo, keep making KI.

@Enzo_V true dat

I think it's odd Shield Pose is on there however... it didn't seem like a game that would be full retail. There are a few others that almost(we'll have to find out) a guess. "Zombie?" Wow that's really informative.

Please Nintendo... NO NSMBM!!!!

i'll wait for Christmas for my Wii U... if I get it day one I won't have any money. It'lll be a hard battle between my sanity and buying it or not.

I'm expecting something like this... I'm hoping it'll be like the 3DS and you can either use the cradle or cord, depending on how you want to charge it.

@Wingedfish yep.
@oldgamesonly Um.... WTF? No.

Considering it's May 3rd right now...

Thought it was easy to pick up and play anytime, I got used to the controls prety fast, even for being left handed.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING COME TO OHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FEEL LIKE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-_- wow. Seriously, Nintendo?

Yay! No matter what, I won't be at school! I can just walk over to my computer and watch!

Seriously? The first round was good... fluidity, etc. then it just got boring. C'mon, where are you hiding all the good games Nintendo?

I do have to agree, I don't want to se up my SD card. Yes, I knew this would have to happen. ALthough, I'll continue getting realy cartridges and discs because I am a collector and want the physical part of whatever I'm downloading. If I download Animal Crossing I get... nothing at all. If I get it in real life I'll have the box, manual, CN code, etc. I usually have all my games with me, it isn't THAT much of a hassle to take out and insert a new card. I'm thinking of buing one of those CN 18 cartrige holders, so I won't really need that. Plus, with the growing of the digital market, there will be more eShop only titles, so I'll save my SD card for those titles. i don't see too much convienience, just keep physical games out there Nintendo.
