Even a few months after launch the 3DS was simply not worth the $250 asking price. Only a few games could be considered exclusive system sellers and it's full online features were still missing. Giving me 20 free games does compensate for the price, but I didn't know buying one earlier would cause that. I felt stupid after hearing the price reduction and my only valid reason for having one now is because my love for Nintendo. The Vita is better, but now the 3DS is less costly and appeals to a wider audience. If Nintendo can sell its software in the millions I think the 3DS will then become a success.
If any of you are worried about G4's opinion, don't. I felt their review was way too feminist, don't get me wrong I liked the woman's thoughts about how Samus should not be acting like a preteen, but their low score was simply because of that.
This is how reviews should be written, without a bias reviewer.
@Odnetnin- yes and all of them have a different design and gameplay incorporated in them. I just cant understand being hyped over a possible screenshot or abstract art.
@6 - I believe he's hinting more towards a news channel too. If the 3DS does have and e-reader would Nintendo have to have something like the app store because purchasing books at fixed cost is totally unnecessary. I wouldn't want to purchase books if it cost me nintendo points ranging from 200 to 800.
I bet the haters out there who doubted that the 3DS would have incredible graphics are wanting the new product right now. I can't wait to see how Nintendo will use the new features for games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid!
Nintendo hopefully realizes that the downloadable titles on the Wii and DS are lacking in a variety of prices.
I hate paying $2.00 for dsiware I could get at the appstore for free. Nintendo should give more freedom to the developers, like naming exact pricing and having higher amount of memory to be used.
Both my home systems provide equal entertainment value in different ways.
I don't think the 3DS will be as powerful as the 360 or PS3, but I believe it could have graphics similiar to the Wii. Remember people this is a whole new device, we need to stop looking at the old technology that we've grown so fond of and try something new.
I agree with JustaGerm, what if Nintendo drops the double screens and goes for a sleeker design that is more compact so only one large screen would be required like the iphone. Has nintendo even said that the new product would resemble that of the old ds models in the first place?
Maybe this will give enough time before Mario Galaxy and Metroid release for people to find a better hobby instead of video games, you people say things that sound as if you do nothing but depend on a video game for entertainment!
If the camera supposedly cost around $800 for its 3D technology then why would nintendo make a product too expensive for the average person? Maybe different technology will be used for the 3DS.
I played the game (on my sister's dsi) and found it to be really addicting and challenging with the tower mode. The relax mode is kind of a waste though. -written on my dsi

Supposedly those figures count for the 4 days with the price cut and 3 days before.

This usually wouldn't be considered good news...
Re: Japanese 3DS Sales Slump Coincided with Price Cut Announcement
How many units do you think will sell in a week after the price drop? My guess is 10000000over9000∞.

Re: BIT.TRIP FATE Teaser Image Released
Why do you want this as your wallpaper?
1. You don't know what is or represents
2. It's not that "beautiful"
3. I feel there is plenty of wallpapers that can be worthy of your desktops
This is my opinion though...
Re: Blackwire Brings Episodic Adventures to DSiWare
@3- That is obviously a car smashing through a gate...
This is what we need on the dsi shop, an original game that's not an iPhone port!
Re: Win One of 100 Digital Copies of Groovin' Blocks

Re: E3 2010: Ocarina of Time for 3DS
@61 ^ I agree ^
If this wasn't one of the games listed on Nintendo's E3 website then it's probally not true.

Incredible E3 Nintendo, Looks I need to save up this whole summer to buy the 3DS and all its amazing titles.

Re: Rumour: 3DS Could Rival PS3 and 360 in Power Stakes
I for one have a PS3, Wii, and Dsi.
Both my home systems provide equal entertainment value in different ways.
I don't think the 3DS will be as powerful as the 360 or PS3, but I believe it could have graphics similiar to the Wii. Remember people this is a whole new device, we need to stop looking at the old technology that we've grown so fond of and try something new.
