No console wars, I am a PS3 owner. I was talking about the negativity surrounding the 3DS in general, including coming from Nintendo fans.
People really didn't understand the DS at first, it sounded like a crazy idea and people likened to the Virtual Boy. Sound familiar?
And while the DS has a large range of age when its comes to users, I understand there are probably more kids. But are people really worried that kids won't like/be able to play the 3D games? All I know is my nephews would eat that stuff up, I guess I can't speak for all kids.
A lot of the negativity surrounding 3DS reminds me of when the original DS was announced..... "2 screens, how can you play using two screens??? you can't use them both at the same time!!"....
1) Two screens, with virtually no seam between them when open 2) Screens are higher resolution, but exact resolution is unknown 3) Powered by nVidia Tegra 4) Roughly as powerful as a Gamecube, and apparently similar to program for 5) Uses carts - believed to be same size as DS/DSi carts, only with different guts 6) Due out in 2010 in at least one territory
None of this is confirmed, and I really doubt it will be out this year in any region.
The problem is it sounds like PhoenixRising has never played the game... if you play it and hate it then fine, but arguing a score one way or another without actually playing it makes little sense.
So lets say he walked into the store and stole a few thousand copies of New Super Mario Bros Wii. Then proceeded to give them out to whoever for whatever reason. Would people still say Nintendo is being too harsh?
People lose their jobs because of piracy. Corporations aren't just giant machines.
Breaking the law is breaking the law. You can't pick and choose which ones you think are important enough to punish. They all get different prison sentences (or none at all), which is why we have judges.
Ogre Battle 64 is simply an outstanding game. It is in my N64 right now so I don't need it but I highly recommend to anyone with an interest in strategy or rpg games.

Re: Ogre Battle 64 Hits Europe This Friday
I wonder if they are going to edit some of the language? Hopefully not.

Re: Lumines Dev Not Impressed With 3DS
I thought Meteos was pretty cool even though I'm not a huge puzzle fan.
Re: Lumines Dev Not Impressed With 3DS
He only attacked the ability for 3rd party companies to make money.
Re: Ogre Battle 64 Hits Europe This Friday
This is one of my favorite games of all time, on any system, of any genre.

I have a feeling 3DS will own E3 this year.
Re: DS Successor To Offer 3D Gaming
E3 should be pretty good this year
3DS and Zelda Wii, just those 2 things alone should be cool.
Re: DS Successor To Offer 3D Gaming
This is the successor to the DS just like the DS was to the GBA.
But then again I'm sure we can expect 3DS lite soon enough
Re: DS Successor To Offer 3D Gaming
For some reason the image of Mario jumping out of the screen to hit a ? block for coins has got me a bit amped.

Re: Review: Art of Balance (WiiWare)
The problem is it sounds like PhoenixRising has never played the game... if you play it and hate it then fine, but arguing a score one way or another without actually playing it makes little sense.

Re: Nintendo Wins Another Piracy Court Case
So lets say he walked into the store and stole a few thousand copies of New Super Mario Bros Wii. Then proceeded to give them out to whoever for whatever reason. Would people still say Nintendo is being too harsh?

Re: Final Fantasy Creator Working on Last Story for Wii
I assume from that pic that this RPG will take place in the 70's.
Re: British R4 Card Importer Shipping Off To Prison
@SpoonyBard
so what is the difference between stealing games and stealing your groceries.... why not just walk into the store and take what you want...
