Doh, it needs to be 3d and it needs Dual Screens and to be a Clamshell type. . . .
otherwise it's just another smartphone copying all the other smartphones and they are dull. . ..

This looks dreadful . . . . .

@ajcismo
Oh! Yeah! MAAAAAYDAAAAAAY! I forgot about that! how cool!

@RupeeClock
He He - Nintendolife is a business . . . .owned by people who manage Fan websites - Probably the Writing staff are more passionate in regard to Nntendo than the owners of the website. . . . .

Martin Watts - My point exactly - How old are you demonta4?

I'm not very happy to see this article posted here. It has nothing to do with Nintendo.
Does Nintendo life have to report on all the bad journalism that occurs on sites like Yahoo. (for example, does having a child at the age of 13 mean you are going to argue with and stab someone? If so , then why assume a Videogame is involved. If a videogame is involved then why mention that the offender fathered a child at the age of 13?
Not good journalism here NL . . .:{

The only good game on Apple store is Clash of Heroes Might and magic but I still prefer to play it on my Nintendo DSi - not even the XL . . - I love my Stylus and hate using fingers.
I can't find any decent stuff on Google or Appleshop. . . . . I'm not going to waste my time looking anymore The popular games are aimed at mass market sheep it seems. . .plus no 3d effect? The 3ds graphics are completely immersive and I love my Nintendo music player (zero spam marketing) - and I hate itunes - wrecks all my record collections - I've stopped using it. . . .

They are going to announce Nintendo 3DS HD

@ThreadShadow - You can compose Symphonies on this or Jazz masterpieces - each note can be adjusted individually volume and gate-wise and has superb polyphony - seperate mutes adjustable in real time and you can jump from pattern to pattern on the sequencer - The voices you can adjust slightly with reverb and attack . . . The drum bank is amazing as are the piano sounds - there are a few dody '80's' sounds but also some incredible ones.
Beethoven would have loved to have had this piece of software. .

@kurtasbestos - I have 8 copies of Korg DS10+ !!! all imported from USA to UK along with 2 x US DSi and 1 x US 3DS! - just to compose and gig with DS10+ Professional level music making
Korg M01 - i imported form Japan 2 copies and use both programs side by side in recording and Gigging

THIS IS COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!!!!! I imported the Korg M01 Cart form Japan when it released - it as superb piece of software - Sano DG, the creator is a complete genius! I will be getting htis definitely for all the new features! BTE this price is exceedingly cheap and worth every penny. . . BUy Buy BUy!

Just put simple Mobile phone - text and calls on Nintendo 3DS - hey presto! I don't need my Galaxy S3!!!! all the kids can have a dedicated gaming console/phone/browser! It's all I need - It;s all they need!

I wish iphone would go away - so boring and dull yet a commercial success that drags proper devs away from our purpose built 3ds consoles!

Theatrythm was an almost perfect game btw
Theatrythm BIt Trip and Cave story 3d would be awesome

Fabulous Game!

I'm gutted about this - I was expecting great things which obvioulsy would have been achieved with online multiplayer. . . . . . .

Gotta love 80's Music!!!!

I think the Game pad is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!

I'm glad to support Devs to get better games but also prefer to pay for downloads from the Eshop to get rid of high middle man costs (GAME, HMV etc - I'm looking at you!) after all a game on Amamzon is £29.99 when it is £39.99 in the shops.
I love my Shelf of 3ds ( and some DS classics)

I quite liked the Japanes Voice acting on the 3ds Samurai Warriors game - it added to the Atmosphere - I'm going to get this!!!!

Yep - developers need income to create good games and good sofware.
Where is the incentive to produce these if some criminal is profiting and taking all your well deserved earnings.

No income for Devs and Nintendo means no consoles, no games, no Gaming Industry , No Hobby

Zombies Rule!

@ei8htbit Good , sensible , figures .

@Dazza I get really upset if he doesn't do a bow in his presentations (it's much better than his 'wave'

Steve Jobs never did that. . . . . btw

The man is a legend! This is brilliant!

It's completely Gorgeous!

Good! Support the game industry!

How do you improve on the ultimate gaming experience?
Once console performance hits Nirvana - i.e. the characters look completely real life so much that you can't tell if it's an HD movie or a computer game - the graphics can't be improved - so once again it will be down to ways of playing (plug an electrode into your head and think how to play the game to play it) on surreal full 3d surround vision with smellivision and psycho/physical response ( you think it really hurts when you get hit but it doesn't really).
I'm pretty damn happy with my 3ds but would like some more really serious games on it. . . .

Definitely 'Smugglers Run Warzones' the best driving game EVER and also we need to have SPARTAN TOTAL WARRIOR (wiht new multiplayer Mode

@Rococoman
I'm 41 - I have a 3ds XL, a Standard Black 3DS and an imported US Red 3ds - I also have 2 x Imported Matt black DSi consoles for using in Korg DS10+ which is a professional level synthesizer. I also use my Wii only for Wii Fit Plus on a daily basis and I sold my Xbox 360. Art Academy, Colors 3d, inchworm animation - all high quality applications that benefit form the Dual screen and stylus approach.

I am looking forward to some of the moreAdult games coming out of Japan . .

@zipmon I agree!
I would like a Brushed Aluminium 3ds in the original size

I'm still playing this daily months down the line!!! Fabulous Game.
My Dark notes are getting really Difficult now!!!!!! I'm glad the difficulty Ramps up!!!!! some of the Ultimate levels are INSANE!!

I loved Typing of the Dead!

LOVE THIS!!! THINKING OF IMPORTING IT FROM USA FOR MY US 3ds!!!

Just give the 3ds Phone functions - Texts and calls and I'll sell my iPhone 5 quite happily

Well done Nintendo!
Pirating games means less budget to work with on Developing Games.

If the Developers get paid - we get better games.
If the developers don't get paid - we don't get ANY good games

It's really irritating having to own 2 x USA 3DS Consoles to run Korg DS10+ as a professional musician - AND having to own a EUro 3DS as well . . . . .

Totally getting it ! Fabulous!

Much more interesting than the boring old Apple iphone online conference.. . .

This is Lush!
Ikaruga was a Beautiful and Intelligent game. . . it didn't date - and yes, it was satisfyingly difficult!

i really hope this comes out in the West

Brilliant! If they make the film - THey'll release all the games in the West! and MH5 will get a bigger budget! Yippee!!!

Love it ! Love it! Love it!

Lunar Lander?
BBC 32k Micro also had a similar game which was cool - you had to use thrust to negotiate your spaceship around a cave then pick up a heavy load on a tether and tow it back to space. superb physics game but I forget what it was called.

I'm gutted!

Nintendo wll release a 3ds with Mobile phone capabiity - then I can get rid of my android and my friends won't have to put up with Apple Crapphones.

Of course!

@RupeeClock
How did you get it today from Game? I sit released today?

Problem is - I only buy 1 game Cart and not 3 so Nintendo might be wondering why they've sold so many consoles but not so many games!

Lol! I own 3 3ds consoles!
I might soon own another 2 3dsXL as I get a Euro one and a US one (for running Korg DS10+)

Downloads are great! Ninendo doesn't hve to pay distrinbution and retailer anything - thus increasing their profits by over 100 percent! This means if games are more profitable - they can develop better quality titles! Good for everyone!
