@JaxonH First of all....58 million isn't a bad thing. Infact, by the end of this year, I'm confident that the 3DS will reach atleast 75 million which also isn't a bad thing.
I don't think Nintendo will give up on the handheld market because they dominate the hell out of it. I mean seriously, the fact that Fates sold million copies before half a year is itself astounding...and its not even released in UK!
Now If Nintendo wants to release their games on mobile, I have no problems there as long as they do it for experiments.....
But releasing games on mobile isn't going to help Nintendo to make those kids move over to their handhelds because why would they want to do that when the mobile games are cheaper than the handheld ones.
I personally hate mobile gaming because of the fact that they will never reach to traditional standards. I so badly want that Sonic Remastered games on PC but I know that's never gonna happen because if the mobile version's good, why port it?
NX being a hybrid is something that's asking us why on earth the Wii U couldn't do that in the first place. I don't have one but I know that if I did, I'd get great games on it.
@Ralizah Um....how can those make much use of the 3D effect? Don't get me wrong, I love to see that happen but as 3D? I don't think that will happen. Maybe the first game can happen but I don't know for the latter.
@MitchVogel Thing is, when you donate for something like charity, your money will be used for a purpose. Here it just doesn't feel like its used for a good purpose.
I still don't like Kickstarter that much. If a game is cancelled, you can't get refunds so you're money has to be that lucky enough for these guys to give the game to you.
I'm now concerned of how backwards compatibility will work here.......if the NX is an all new thing like the Gamecube which didn't have backwards for N64, how can we get to play 3DS games and Wii U games besides buying the main consoles?
I don't think releasing VB games on 3DS would do much. I personally want a Wario game and if they remake the one on VB, I'm more than happy because I don't think all of us here played it which is sad since its the best game for the system.
@FierceRagnar @KO-Cub Either something is wrong with you or that you can't tell what horrible games that FE has overall. The series as a whole has never once gotten bad scores. Even Shadow Dragon wasn't that bad.
@AVahne I disagree. Conquest is loads of fun and has lots of variety. Birthright I can agree is shallower than Awakening but Conquest definitely is a fun game.
If it weren't for the 3DS, I couldn't have gotten many classic games like Link's Awakening.
Fire Emblem is what the 3DS is known for to make FE the most valuable IP for Nintendo.
I love the DS but the 3DS also is as awesome as the GBA. Hopefully, the NX is a portable system so that I don't have to buy a console and a handheld separately.
@AVahne My issue isn't the mobile thing. The real problem is what they can do with this to make it profitable and whether this will make them release it exclusively on mobile games or not.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT FIRE EMBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@JaxonH Oh so you're wrapping up Conquest? Awesome! I honestly love Conquest better than Birthright even though I didn't wrap up birthright since I've recently started it.
As for Zero, I'm actually surprised that I topped the charts. Maybe people can really see it being great.
@IceClimbers You do realize that they aren't that poor to consider going third party right? I mean yeah, eventually at some point, Nintendo might no longer be around but that will take YEARS to happen.
Comparing them to SEGA personally is just plain dumb. The reason why SEGA ended up as a third party isn't because of dumb moves they did or because of their CEO's that screwed them up.
Its because they simply weren't that into making consoles because they are simply dedicated to arcade gaming and they left the console business because they want to just continue making arcade games while at the same time, develop for consoles as well.
If you look at SEGA, they are only so strong at the arcades and never were they interested in the console market. To them, its a mere experiment to get into the console market.
Nintendo on the other hand is dedicated to making "Interactive toys" that people play with them and Consoles is one of them. So saying that they are going to be third parties sounds like them giving up their dedication and passion which is simply absurd and lame.
It would be a dream to have Nintendo channel....where you can watch Nintendo characters animated and having fresh stories and broadening the audience further!

Re: The Legend of Zelda Will Have Its Own Range of Trading Cards
Why isn't there a Super Mario card brand yet? Unless you go for hanafuda....in which case, its sort of there but still.
Re: Capcom Could Be Planning to Bring Back Old IP
Um......Strider anyone?
Re: Anniversary: New Super Mario Bros. is Now a Decade Old
Yeah, back then, a 2D Mario game was something that I wanted to see and I got just that only with a new flavor!
After Super Mario Maker, I'm really curious just how Nintendo will make the next one. Probably add a Mario Maker Sequel or bring us another New game?
Re: Video: Potential Pokémon Sun & Moon Starter Evolution Types Revealed

Re: Nintendo is Getting Into the Movie Business
Maybe a Kid Icarus movie might work......after all, that series is known for breaking the fourth wall often.
And the fact that Uprising has fantastic voice acting just proves that the series can work in movies.....just saying.
Re: Star Fox Zero And Bravely Second Make NPD's April Best Sellers List
Thank god it sold good. I was worried that this would have been the swan song of Star Fox as a whole.
Re: Nintendo of America Has a Snazzy New Slogan - "There's No Play Like It"
Atleast they made the old logo back and that's awesome!
Re: Smartphone Animal Crossing And Fire Emblem Will Both Be Free-To-Play
@sillygostly Shuffle isn't done or even published by Nintendo to be fair here.
I am right now being mocked around in the FE mobile discussion forums of how this can really screw up the FE experience if done horribly.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Two New 3DS Colours for Japan
I love how Nintendo seems to be the only one to actually care about something simple like this!
Re: Kirby: Planet Robobot Stays on Top in the Japanese Charts
Has it outsold Triple Deluxe?
Re: Smartphone Animal Crossing And Fire Emblem Will Both Be Free-To-Play
Yep. Its doom all right for FE that is.
Nintendo, get away from mobile. Its really not something worth going into and it'll only damage your IP if not handled with care.
Re: Wayforward Issues an Update on Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
@NinjaAceTrainer I don't think this game alone can't come to the 3DS simply because its handdrawn and that might pixelate when on the 3DS.
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Debut Trailer Confirms Starter Pokemon and Release Dates
Their designs are impressive!
Is it me or are the visuals in the game better than X&Y?
Re: It's Now Possible To Play Virtual Boy Games On Your Android Phone

See SEGA. We do want classic Sonic back!

Re: Editorial: Nintendo Should Shamelessly Exploit Its IPs to the Full
The problem is that movies aren't the same as games because they are their own thing and so are the games.
I get that movies do help but only if done right not something like Rachet and Clank.
Re: Yo-kai Watch Makes Its UK Chart Debut as Star Fox Zero Holds Top 40 Place
Can't UK just show sales numbers instead of positions?
I'm really sick of the top charts that UK has. You will never know how good the game turned out with this chart thing in mind.
Re: Talking Point: The 3DS Faces the Challenge of Taking Nintendo Through 2016
If it weren't for the 3DS, I couldn't have gotten many classic games like Link's Awakening.

Re: Nintendo Wants Mobile to be a "Pillar of Profit"
@Spoony_Tech If they do it like Miitomo, then I guess they are the only way to get platinum points.
Re: Reminder: This is the Final Day for a Number of My Nintendo Rewards
I want to get Wario Ware Touched but I need more platinum points......is there a way to get more of those?
Re: Late Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi Inducted Into 2016 Consumer Technology Hall Of Fame
He deserves it. Iwata-San would have been happy if he were still around to know this.
Re: Nintendo Share Price Drops Over 8% as Analysts Weigh in On NX and Mobile Plans
I wonder if these analysts have better things to do than make unpopular opinions.
Re: Nintendo is Selling its Majority Stake in the Seattle Mariners
They still own them though because they own 10% of the stake.
Re: Nintendo Shipped More Than 50 Million amiibo In a Year
@NintyFan The have....its called Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival.
Good news is good news and Amiibo selling well is good news indeed.
Nintendo....how about like um...making a Camilla Amiibo eh? That'd be awesome!
Re: Preview: Mechanised Cuteness in Kirby: Planet Robobot
Even if this isn't a promising game, I'll get it because its a platform game....something which the 3DS seriously lacks big time.
Re: Unannounced First And Third-Party 3DS Games In Development, States Nintendo
I would love a brand new Wario game to show up there!
Re: Fire Emblem Mobile Game Will Offer "Accessible" Yet "Engaging" Gameplay
First of, Awesome to pick Camilla for the news!
Second, just....no. I am saying that because I know what they will do with this one and its not gonna be good compared to what we have.
Re: Nintendo Will Reveal NX Price, Launch Lineup And Specs This Year, Claims Nikkei
@ProudGrimleal HD is as far as Nintendo will ever go. I don't think its beyond that development Nintendo is willing to invest itself.
Re: Star Fox Zero Makes Modest Debut in Japanese Charts as 3DS Holds Steady
It outsold SMM.....so its got to be modest.
Re: Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing Franchises Are Heading to Smart Devices
@AVahne My issue isn't the mobile thing. The real problem is what they can do with this to make it profitable and whether this will make them release it exclusively on mobile games or not.
Re: Miitomo Has Hit 10 Million Users Worldwide
@KoopaTheGamer You mean meanwhile in Asia.
Re: 14 Titles Across Wii U and 3DS Were Million Sellers in the Last Year
Glad Fates finally reached a million!
Re: Nintendo Financial Results Deliver Profits but Predict Severe Drops in Expected Wii U and 3DS Sales
The 3DS will do fine. Fates and Pokemon alongside some key titles if lucky, will boost its sales big time! I'm very positive.
Its unfortunate that the Wii U sold poorly and we didn't even get the chance to see how Star Fox Zero sold in the end.
Re: Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing Franchises Are Heading to Smart Devices
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT FIRE EMBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Secures Victory over Tomita Technologies in 3DS Patent Row
Wow....They did it. Man Nintendo sure does now how to fight back do they?
Re: NIS America No Longer Publishing Atlus Games In Europe
If Europe doesn't get any games from Atlus, you know who to blame here.
Re: Star Fox Zero Makes a Positive Start in the UK Charts
@JaxonH Oh so you're wrapping up Conquest? Awesome! I honestly love Conquest better than Birthright even though I didn't wrap up birthright since I've recently started it.

Re: Poll: NX and Mobile Make This a Defining Year for Nintendo - Are You Optimistic?

Re: This Nintendo Patent for a U-Shaped Fitness Controller is Actually Cool
@DiscoGentleman Tell me about it. I honestly, never felt irritated at all when using dual screen gaming for the DS family nor for the Wii either.
Re: PlatinumGames CEO Tatsuya Minami Has Resigned
@Indielink Yeah....I was wondering the same thing too.
And uh....delete your extra posts man....its jarring.
