Topic: 3DS Improvement

Is there any room for improvement for the Nintendo 3DS, and if so what does it need?

More puzzles, hats, and VC

The sound quality of the speakers can be a bit staticy at times.

It needs more than I could ever list here.

Or, more than I could list here without getting reported/accused of trolling.

It's not an iPad. It needs to be.

so in other words, I'll have about 20 games DLed that I never play

Yes, there's tons of room for improvement.

The biggest one for me would be the online interface. There's a few things Nintendo could and should do that would enhance the overall online experience on the 3DS.
1. Allow the ability to instantly talk to friends (i.e. a messaging system). This is something this system desparately needs. Yeah, it's cool and all that I can join my friends at games of Mario Kart, but if I want to actually do so, then I have to hope one of them is playing it. And that's not counting the rest of games that don't have that function, making online with friends impossible without some serious organization. Since the 3DS has the option of always being online (which most people utilize) it'd be pretty easy to put in. Simply have a message appear and the orange light show when someone wants to play with you. If you don't want to recieve them, simply turn the function off. It'd be that simple
2. Better organization of the eShop. The eShop is horribly organized. The browsing experience on it is simply impossible. If you don't have any intention of buying a specific game on the eShop, then there's no reason to be there. That's fine for people like us that regularly check up with the hottest games via the internet, but for people who don't and want to window shop then there's really nothing for them. One cannot search by genre, platform, ranking, or price, and it is truly a detriment towards the overall experience of just trying to find something you might potentially like. It's incredibly archaic and needs to be improved.
3. Demos for every game released, or at least more then the paltry amount currently on. This may be a bit harder to implement, but for any game that costs more than $2, it'd be nice to know what you're getting into before you buy it. XBLA has a trial for every single game, and though a few demos have turned me off, the vast majority lead to me buying a game I otherwise would not have even looked at.

An about a hundred more games that I do play than I have on my 3DS.

Whats better? To have 50-100 average games, or to have 3-5 great games that have just the same (if not more) replay value?

To have 100 games of the quality of Nintendo's 3--5 great games. I never said anything about average games.

@moomoo: The 3DS will see an improvement with online as soon as the Wii U is out. I think we are going to get all the Miiverse features on the 3DS as well.

Who on earth would do such a thing?

Yeah at least with the 3DS theyll update it for free when it needs to be, you don't have to buy another $500 system each year to get the upgrade

We were talking about the 3DS and Ipad.

And you clearly don't have an iPad. Very few people with iPads are silly enough to claim there's only average games on it.

[quote=AlphaIchimoru][quote=OlympicCho]

Meaning there are people who claim that

[quote=HarmoKnight][quote=AlphaIchimoru]

Plenty of people have silly opinions about all kinds of things. People think the earth is flat. People believe that Chinese medicine is better than western medicine. People think they can drive while drunk. People think many illegal drugs are not harmful to the health.

Having a silly opinion is different from being correct.

I'm glad you realize people have silly opinions

Actually, I do have an Ipad, but there are few games that are actually good enough to want to waste the whole day playing, most of them are basically for long car rides and to pass a few minutes, basically occupational games. Then there's the fact that controlling things with JUST a touchscreen takes out allot of the fun.

You and I clearly have access to very different App stores.

I like how choc said it was fact iPad games are better then traditional controlls
