I understand people's annoyance with the possibility of having to buy an add on and the looming threat of a redesign so soon after the initial release, but what i will never understand is the people who say stuff like, "Screw it, I'll get a Vita." Surely you bought a 3DS for Nintendo games? That's the only reasn I own Nintendo consoles, for the Nintendo games. I'd buy a Vita if Nintendo franchises were coming out on it, but they aren't. It makes no sense to me when people say that stuff.
Fair enough. To be honest, I don't mind that much. Hardware develops with the life of the console, and while it's right that Nintendo should have put this stick in from the start, at least they're doing it now.
One thing I know is that if they release a new 3DS down the line with the stick integrated, I will be contacting Nintendo to demand that all my data be transferred across.
Very small amount of stuff available, but i'm kinda happy about that. At the end of the day, if there were 40 games available I would never be able to afford them all, but with three (of which I'm definately getting two - Mario and Alleyway) it makes it easier to keep up with the games released weekly.
Plus, another thing about the digital market. I know this isn't a full argument against it, and that's not what i'm trying to get across, but does nobody else remember the feeling you got when you were younger when you had finally saved up enough money to buy that game your really wanted for your N64 or Playstation, and the feeling you got when you stood infront if your console and pulled the shrink wrap off the game box and opened it for the first time?
To me, that satisfaction is one of my fondest memories of being a gamer.
And the fact that Reggie has stated that Angry Birds is an exception to Nintendo's stance on the majority of mobile games being crap does tend to make me wonder why he would have a shot at a company who has said that his game is pretty good.
I would like to assume he's not trying to be a by saying that, but rather that he's all for digital sales and that he's putting himself (in a rather flat-out way) in the shoes of Nintendo executives. If he is just being a ... then he's a .

Re: Level-5 May Consider Wii U Professor Layton Ports
I agree with the no ports stance. I absolutely love Layton, so in that sense i would much, much rather a new trilogy on Wii U or something.
