3DS needs SSB, and it's getting it

Woah, I didn't think Nintendo was marketing very well. But maybe they really have been marketing more than I think.

I hate Apple. they sell products by their name not by quality. Nintendo at least doesn't take advantage of their name and not try to make a good quality product with a large leap from the previous system they launched.

Wii was priced high due to lack of console availability. Nintendo has said they don't want that to be a problem with Wii U, so the ebay price makes no sense to compare.

Shutting down the console is always the consumers fault. The system bricking after a fault internet connection? That's the real problem here.

Metroid, Zelda, Starfox, and a 3-D Mario have all been confirmed for Wii U in my book.

Perhaps the originals discs were sometimes sharp enough to cut a child's hands? Then I can see a very good reason for this.

I'd prefer a more professional look, but with a lot of kids as customers they like to keep it simple. Maybe offer a professional menu design and also a simple one? I'd love that, and it's easy to do. Lots of websites do it.

I just want Pikmin 3 right now, and NSMBU is looking to be an amazing 2D Mario title. I hope they spent these 10+ years making Pikmin 3 the best it can be!

From a selling standpoint, perfect. From an informing standpoint, not good.

Why do they take all their earnings from America and EU and exchange them into Yen? Why not keep that money in a bank and use it to pay the employees there, buy advertising there, etc. I don't really know how all that works, I'm just curious.

IN GAME CHAT! Not out of game chat. The reason for this is obvious. The microphone is close to the speaker. During a game the sound from the speaker would blot out your voice and the microphone is therefore unusable when the speakers are on.

@19Robb92 I agree completely. The slider pads are good for portability and looks, but if you don't need portability than joysticks are the way to go.

Looks better designed than the smaller version. In fact, I find the XL still too small for perfect comfort. Your fingers still hit each other behind the console This might make it a perfect size for absolute comfort.

I'll just go to my local Meijer store the day it comes out. They don't offer pre-orders, and it's for a good reason. Plus most people who want electronics don't go there, so they always have them in stock.

Exclusives. No one beats Nintendo's 1st party games!

Really people? 25GB discs are worth $10 more than 4GB discs!

White Deluxe? Why? Black is a professional look for the core Deluxe gamers 8)

IN all honesty, I agree. Silly to make only one color for each package deal, but it does lower confusion.

Nano Assault Neo is an amazing surprise! The graphics in the trailer are incredible, way better than 3DS game.

If it's $300, they will own next gen again because Xbox 720 and PS4 will be overpriced, probably around $450

This guy is a mental case :?

It's a great game, with a thin theme. I wish they would make a galaxy in SMG that was designed off the Super Mario Sunshine Island world.

I'll wait for a price drop on this game.

Running out of SEGA characters, are we?

Looks beautiful to me! Definitely a better design.

@AlexSays We didn't spend our money just to get these prizes. These are free because we bought games. We were going to spend that money anyway, so these are just a bonus. Nintendo doesn't have to give this stuff out you know.

Nintendo should seriously make an online video game music store, where you can download music tunes to your console. And maybe even on an online account so you can add it to your PC!

What about first party??? Then how many did Sony and M$ come up with?

3DS is getting tons of great titles. The only problem is their all released during the holidays! Spread those releases out Nintendo. I don't save all my money up for an entire year.

@L4DYK0M1C Exactly what I was thinking. It fixes all the little annoying things about the current hardware.

The design is SO MUCH BETTER!!! I'm tempted to buy it simply for that! The stupid design of the current model gets so greasy and dusty, and it's also ackwardly put together. With that annoying ridge around the top screen that collects dust, including around the depth slider. My depth slider broke from debris collecting in that groove. Looks so much better on the XL! And the buttons on the bottom look better, the power buttons is smaller and sunken into the system, as well as a better battery and larger screens. I so want this! I'm willing to sell my ambassador system to upgrade. That's how much I love this new design!

@C-Olimar Not necessarily true. Nintendo purposely kept the price down to $199 in America. The main reason is because we are the largest market, which means you don't have to make as much money off of each console.

@luminalace That's only in EU and JP, America is getting a power cord with it. But I'm sure the AC adaptors will be sold separately. It's just like the Wii Motion Plus. You needed it for some games, but it was sold separately.

It's not made out of that glossy, dust collecting, material!!! I would get this if I didn't already have one Nintendo I don't have the money for all the good stuff you send at us. Try sending the XL at the same time as the smaller version and let people decide which one they want!!!

I wonder if that Pikmin Miyamoto is holding will have a NFC role in Pikmin 3? Sorry, random thought

@Yellowgerbil NO! Not the Man-at-legs!!! That thing is evil!

@Wesker Then what's the point? The 3DS really doesn't have the sufficient number of inputs for a Pikmin game. Only Wii U does. Plus it's HD, so why do you care?

@Wesker You must not be aware that Pikmin 2 was a top seller on the Gamecube. You also have to note that no series can get popular unless they release games for it!!! You can't say, "well the first game wasn't popular in that franchise, lets just ditch it". Seriously?

Odd. I think it's a mistake.

@Corbs Then I'll stick with the stylus Those screens attract smudges like a magnet!

@Corbs So is the screen similar to the 3DS, as in "squishy" in texture? If it is, I'm wondering if it will feel weird to slide your finger across the screen?

This should be a parental control option. You can turn filtering on for messages from other people, or turn it off.

@3DSNEEDSPIKMIN Controls would never work on 3DS. Think about what your demanding. It would also have to be downgraded from HD, which would be very difficult.

Weird game.

@pastasauce lol

LATE!

Oh. Well you have bad feed Close all other running programs?

Lower the quality @Assassin87
