Thats a lot of games for a system that should not really be released. I'm still trying to figure out why everyone made the mistake that Iwata-san saying that the DSi had double CPU. In the end not one of these titles shows something that the DS CPU's can't do.
@Moon As obviously stated by the instruction manual which you shald have read through before powering on the console, it's for a TV Remote (non learning).
@bherdm Well Infinity uses pads 1.) for the figure & 2 for power discs. There might be a possible work around, but it might make it awkward to play the game compared
"offers space for up to seven (through the listing says six)" Um I can only see 6 Figurines that fits into recessed slots with no sign of a 7th slot at all what so ever.
Why does Nintendo need to release the NFC reader? As the New 3DS already out there they should really discontinue the entire 3DS line. Infacyt they should have waited a few years before releasing the N3DS as the 3DS had only 3 years when the DS line had 7. I can't see the logic Nintendo's doing with there portable line.
First of all releasing the DSi instead of developing the DS Successor, now they Released a 3DS successor too soon & not really advertising the generation gap between the 2.
I don't see why Nintendo need to add the NFC support the the 3DS line as they should be getting there sopporting the N3DS line. I getting confused with what Nintendos doing in regards to there portable line. They never gave there previes systems as much sopport as there current systems like they doing in regards to the 3DS & new 3DS now. They quickly dropped major support with the ds DS line when they released 3DS, sis the same with the Wii when the Wii U released yet now that they got the New 3DS out, the only thing they treat both 3DS & New 3DS like if it's the same. If I hadn;t known any better I would have thought that the New 3DS is just another 3DS akin to the DSi the the DS.
"With the New Nintendo 3DS landing on 13th February, the obvious comparison is with the DSi, which kicked off a final hurrah for the DS family before it was replaced." Really? Unlike the DSi which only have of the shelve componant replacement the New 3DS Is infact a new system which have faster proccessing. The fact the N3DS being more faster is than a 3DS is more akain comparasion between the DS line vs the 3DS.
@marc_max I do know what Wikipedia says yet it's wrong. Looking at the sources only show's ether a.) inconclusive or b.) unreliable.
plus the DSi only has double RAM as the DS has 8MB itself
As for that Sonic Collection one thing that's been proves it not a DSi enhanced game, No region locking. In theory an American DSi enhanced game should not run on a PAL DSi, yet there are some people manage to play it on a PAL DSi Which means those people that see an improvement in performance on a DSi system are really seeing a placebo effect.
@marc_max Well a couple of things 1.) Nintendo the DSi does not have faster processors. It's a common myth that been spead by media Misinformation. The info supposedly from one bit Iwata said yet I found nothing that the proccessors specifically been mentioned as being boosted, upgraded or updated. 2.)Upon some google searching that Sonic Collections game is not a DSi enhanced at all, just a regulgr DS game.
Still 3 years is Still way too soon to start a new generation & because of that Nintendo is hurting themselves as a result.
Think of it the DS had 7 years till Nintendo released it's successor the 3DS.
Now with the 3DS, it's only been on the market for 3 years & now it's been replaced by it's successor.
I know a lot of people have been saying that it's not a Success only a 3DS revision.
Thing is a revision always have the same basic hardware, same basic processes yet a successor always been more powerful than the predecessor.
Look at the DSi for example, Basicly Nintendo added camra & game download functionally yet it's pretty obvious that it retains the same 67/33MHz Dual CPU chip yet the N3DS has faster proccessors than a 3DS.
Which shows the N3DS is a 3DS successor not a 3DS 4.1/4.2.
Im still laughing on how people compaire the N3DS to the DSi. Really? The DSi itself really is only a new DS system with the excact same custo proccessor chips yet yet N3DS is really a new system, not a version of the 3DS yet its own fully fledge system with new custom chips where as I would assume updates to both CPU's & GPU meaning that it's a new system built from scratch.
It is also suggested that hardware has been improved, with elements such as downloading and Miiverse running faster than on a standard 3DS console.
I don't know how that would be possible without updating the highly custom dual CPU chip & if that's the case then it would make these more like 3DS successors rather than plan new 3DS models.
Password Reminder via Email. In other words a way for kids to sneakily unlock the 3DS. Nowhere as bad as the PS3's holding power till it beeps twice to reset parental controls (amongst other things).
So really I don't see much help in terms of parental controls when really old fashion supervision should do the trick fine.
I wonder if & when the CD titles come to the Wii U Virtual Console, would they still use the heavily compressed audio like the Wii or are they going to release the uncompressed audio.
If it's the latter I would find it worthwhile to update my CD titles then.
Hopefully that means that we might get to see the Nico Nico Douga app released within the west. Watching all my favorite Vocaloid vids on my TV is awesome.
Being retail only doesn't really matter as only about 25% on the internet connections fast enough to download this anyway. With 70% still on DSL & 5% refusing to move from dial-up that's 75% of people who can not download this game at all what so ever.
I rather continue using Sanyo enelopes than a charging dock, especially as most of them tend to charge them in a series circuit where they basicly shorten there lifespans.
"A first for any console in the DS family" Really? I wasn't aware that the 3DS was part of the DS Family. All this time I thought that the 3DS was the successor to the DS.
Oh god. Now it looks like the 3DS is getting its own equivalent of the DSi & yet it's even more worthless than tje CSi itself. Yet I can't wait what myth the Media produce with this like they did with the DSi's CPU enhanchment myth.
Really? Harmonix? Why would anybody within there right minds want to do anything with franchise that you screwed up so much from the beginning. From refusing certain record labels so you can have a perfect song importation system to rushed DLC by the truckload plus more. Even refused to fix the Wii version of Rockband 3 from gamebreaking bugs. At least Activision gave replace disc's for Guitar Hero III on the Wii when an minor audio bug been found & some people like myself owns both disc's to show for it.
Still means a lot of people need a cable Internet connection to download any of this games. A DSL line would not coup & would only provide endless hours of timeout error's
@Klyo well I myself let to see any un-edited copies of the scenes & what's online is a scan from a VHS copy that sold Briefly in Japan where the offiding scenes not only been darkened down but also where the frequency of the flashing reduced so you should not have been affected from what is essentially an edited copy.
Still the control pad is a stupid idea as we already have a perfectly fine 3DS to use with the Wii u. Adding the Circle pad pro add on the 3DS has a touch screen powerfull enouth to stream videos with faster communications for steamed video dual analog with 4 shoulder buttons with motion sensing plus it can act as a learning TV remote with the very same IR port can be used for any planed IR Wii U accessories (e.g. Wii Fit U's pedometer).
so all in all the Wii U Control Pad is no real improvement over a 3DS.
@kyuubikid213 The reason for the failure is lack of marketing. If they advertise better & even Wii U bundles that includes a 3DS & a circle pad pro I'm sure it take of, that's what it really need not an expensive controller,.
Well I don't see the Wii U control pad that great when we already has a perfectly fine 3DS already which is capable of as a touch screen motion sensitive Dual Analog(Circle pad pro) controller plus with the 3DS's 801.11g Wi-Fi being faster the Control Pads Bluetooth meaning the video feeds should be even more limlined to the 3DS.
How much would it cost to produce the Wii U control pad? probably as much as a 3DS. Why pay that much more to add a controller that does the same exact thing that our 3DS's is capable of & the fact many of us here allready has one.
Nintendo had it right with the Gamecube they had it right with the Wii now they decide to screw things up with the Wii U.
@Bass_X0 "Not excited. Tired now. Wake me up when Dreamcast games are downloadable on Wii U VC." Don't forget unlike you & me not everyone has a cable Internet connection.
I'm only worried when my holodeck,s safety protocols malfunctions when I'm just about getting hit by a virtual missile. Other than that i have no worries.
The problem i see is Nintendo releasing the DSi in the first place. Nintendo should have keept on devoloping the 3DS instead of devoloping a modified DS alongside the 3DS.
Well as i realised the DSi was a stopgap thous i never gotten myself one so no problems here. Anyway those who were fooled into getting a DSi in the first place should have thought twice & realised from the stat that the DSi is nothing more than a ripoff from the start.
