@Pandalicious: Especially, since I bet you that you guys will get way cooler stuff. Cause localizing with Nintendo often means "Well, Americans like cool stuff...so let's give THEM cool stuff."
But I'm glad we got it. Just hope there will be content.
Well yeah, if the system has a browser the online is obviously important. _ No seriously: They're doing all this markting about third parties and wanting the gamers to be happy with the new system etc. Eighter do an online system at least as good as the other ones or leave the gamers out of this....they won't come back.
Nintendo only does Tech demos with things like that and it will never change. They always say "we want to show developers what they can do" and noone does anything....always the same...
I agree with Mully. The Miis are fine and I don't need more details. But we need some clothing and my friend has had pink hair for years now....there's no option for that.
No he dosen't miss the point he's exactly right. It's a very exciting console and I can't wait to own it. But I'm a Nintnedo Fan. If the thing is over 400 bucks, Nintendo has a problem...
I really like the eshop. It's fast, easy to navigate and has some cool stuff. It just sucks that Nintendo is still regionalizing (if that is a word ^^) so much. No Kirby in Europe, no E3 trailers....otherwise I think it's very well done.
I didn't have any problem with the lineup and pilotwings and ridge racer and of course all the (still underrated) build in stuff kept me going...but still. The Software reviews aren't great and the missing eshop and dsi transfer etc. is ridiculous. I hope this helped Nintendo to arrive in the real world.
Ahhh....a bit disappointed. I hoped it would get a 7 or 8 anyway. But it still sounds fun. I still had a 10€ Coupon at the shop I ordered it (it'll arrive tomorrow) so I think I'll be okay. ^^
If this is true, then Nintendo still dosn't understand the whole third party issue. If they want third party games to be succesful they need the "hardcore gamers" (yes, I hate the term too). And they won't come unless the cross platform games come to the Nintendo console. Not some other thing (like Dead Space extraction). And that just won't be possible without a hard drive. I'm really afraid it ends up being the same story over again...A few good first party games and loooooots of crap.
I don't know....I'm really not a call of duty player or would concider myself "hardcore" or anything, but it just sounds like Nintendo is really as out of touch with the current generation of gamers as many people say. I like their stuff (except the fact that they often force me to use motion controls) but all these quotes sound like the 40 year old dad who's been told he's not cool anymore and now he goes on websites to find out how them young kids talk. "You know what I means, dowg. Lol"
BTW....wasn't there a rumour once that Silent Hill shatterd memories was supposed to use the thing, just as sgotch (post 6) is suggesting...I'm actually really sure I remember reading this and then it came out...and nothing.
"Here are all the games you want on the 3DS, here's a new consoles that does all kinds of stuff and is very powerful and HD and all, and here is the new Zelda...it's finished.......ah yes, and here's the vitality sensor, a peripharal for a dead console...something the other consoles have been using for a year now."
It dosen't make sense to me that it's only comparable with the Xbox and PS3 and not better. We all know Nintendo wants the 3rd party support back and they won't get that if Sony and Microsoft have their next consoles out 1-2 years later. But the rest sound 100% Nintendolike. But please bring more buttons back....I don't want to shake my controller anymore....not even in DK returns!!!!
@Scarkaiser: I would completely agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that Nintendo misses out on so much 3rd party stuff because of the specs.
Although Ok Go are cool, I think the montage will be much better to just check out a bit 3D video. Will be downloaded immediately when I get the thing tomorrow. ^^
I think Nintendo is aware that this is pretty much the only thing about the VB people actually really like. I can imagine them making e new version for 3DS-Ware but (which would be awesome) but on the other hand we all know how Nintendo loves to pretend the VB never happened.
I checked out the thing Friday and was really really surprised how well I took the 3D. My eyes start hurting after a few seconds at the cinema but here I played for 15 minutes with the slider up to the max and really enjoyed it.
I just don't understand the problem with giving you the option of switching stuff off. Or at least including a "pro mode" with only the basic Mario Kart Items....I would be fine with go through 3 menus to get to that mode and then accepting 3 screens that warn me it is only for experienced players.....But why is it so hard to give longtime players the chance to player in a more elaborate way???
I had completely forgotten about Parodius. I think I had this once on one of those pirated 150 in 1 cardriges on my game boy. I loved it as a kid. Cool.

Re: Nintendo Video Application Live in Europe Right Now
Yeah, I really enjoyed Oscar as well. Mixture of Willy Coyote, Scrat and Rango. ^^ Seriously.
The card trick thing is superlame.

Re: Review: QIX (Game Boy)
Hmmm....my cousin had this one and it was fun but bored me rather quick...the review makes me think about giving it another try.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles is Coming Early, UK & Europe
This shows how little NOE and NOA and of course the japanese guys work together. A slap into OPrainfall's face, probably without even wanting it.
Personally of course I'm glad I have something to play during the summer.
Re: Nintendo has no Desire to be Number One in Online Gaming
Well yeah, if the system has a browser the online is obviously important.
_No seriously: They're doing all this markting about third parties and wanting the gamers to be happy with the new system etc.
Eighter do an online system at least as good as the other ones or leave the gamers out of this....they won't come back.

Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (Europe)
Wow...Double Dragon is another VC title I'll buy straight away. So far I'm really happy with the whole eshop. ))

Must.....remember!!!!!
Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
Yeah...that's so 2006. Just like the touch controls on the Vita are so 2005...
Re: Pachter: Wii U is Too Late, 'Dumbest Name Ever'

Re: Iwata: "We've Finally Reached the Digital Sales Starting Line"
I really like the eshop. It's fast, easy to navigate and has some cool stuff. It just sucks that Nintendo is still regionalizing (if that is a word ^^) so much. No Kirby in Europe, no E3 trailers....otherwise I think it's very well done.
Re: Miyamoto: We Want to Create Meaningful Download Games
I'm starting to doubt Nintendo's definition of "valuable"....looking at DSIware, Wiiware and the 3DS launch, that pretty much meant overpriced.
Re: Miyamoto Explains the Chubby Appearance of Mario
Olimar is chubby as well and Miyamoto invented him way into the 3D area.
Re: Japanese Hardware / Software Sales Show the 3DS Needs a Boost
I didn't have any problem with the lineup and pilotwings and ridge racer and of course all the (still underrated) build in stuff kept me going...but still. The Software reviews aren't great and the missing eshop and dsi transfer etc. is ridiculous.

Re: Rumour: Wii Successor Won't Have a Traditional Hard Drive
Or maybe...keep it cheap for the casuals and make the gamers buy external storage to install the third party games.....hmmmmmm
Re: Rumour: Wii Successor Won't Have a Traditional Hard Drive
If this is true, then Nintendo still dosn't understand the whole third party issue. If they want third party games to be succesful they need the "hardcore gamers" (yes, I hate the term too).

Re: Nintendo Reinforcing Western Development for Wii's Successor

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
Ever since 1991 I played through this game aboout once every 2 years....SNES a few times, GBA, Virtual Concole....11 times all in all.
BEST GAME EVER.....and I doubt anything will ever touch that!
