@vattodev Except from the sound of it, they use 3DS's.

@FutureAlphaMale None of the titles you mentioned have the eShop numbers listed. ZombiU sold more then many titles on other consoles. The issue was that Ubisoft put way more money into development then it actually needed.

@TheLilK98 Why not? There aren't any dudebro gamers that will ever buy a Nintendo console and any adult gamer has already made up their mind.

@ueI Have you met kids these days. It's all about playing Minecraft, Angry Birds and CoD.

Those NHK barstewards! It's a conspiracy I tell you!

@Chris720 They either don't want to spend the money or time to make it.

@Gridatttack I find it unlikely that if the game would work on the 3DS that it wouldn't work on your PC...

I see a Vita, a Wii U, a 3DSXL with a circle pad, and the keyboard/mouse combo suggest that he's got a PC hooked up to his tv. Wow, these guys are real hardcore gamers. You don't see that many of those on Youtube anymore.

@Spartacus3765 They've discontinued production on the Basic models.

@drumsandperc92 The target audience for this is children below the age of 7. Nintendo highly suggest disabling the 3D for them anyway, now parents don't need to worry about it. And having two young brothers, I can promise you that the most broken piece to any DS/3DS is the hinge. And look, Pokemon comes out on the same day. There are a lot of young children that don't have a 3DS and now Nintendo is making one just for them on the day that X and Y come out. That alone will help so much with repair cost. And guessing by the size of it, the battery life on this thing will be huge.

Speaking of the size, how many kids under 7 can even fit a 3DS in their tiny pockets? None because they all have Nerf armor on them because their parents don't want it broken. Have you ever seen a 4 year old carrying around a DSiXL in Nerf armor, it's more adorable then kittens. Well, it's funny anyway.

And as a final point, this thing would be amazing for VC games. The D-pad is a little more accessible.

@brucelebnd That is not the public perception, it's xbox and sony gamers that think that. The public barely knows about the Wii U.

@ricklongo The fps won't make the file size biger, if anything it'll make it smaller.

@AyeHaley Yeah, I'm really hoping for a Zelda XL.

@sinanziric NA includes 3 really big countries, not just the US. The majority of game sales come from NA. Just look around here.

NOTE: I love how Pikmin 3 is in the top ten of the week without having the NA numbers.

@kevinaa everyone that uses the eShop on their 3DS can watch them too.

@chiptoon Casual gamers may enjoy it. I think my girlfriend would. I'm surprised that this game isn't complete crap.

@LunaticPandora Maybe because they are a game company?

Why not the 3DS? I mean, it's selling like crazy. Revelations sold pretty well, and it came out when the 3DS wasn't doing to great.

Yeah, I had my girlfriend register a NN account on my Wii U now. That way when the 3DS owners get Miiverse she doesn't have to compete with them for an id.

@Gnoll Because when the 3DS was launched most games that anyone wanted to play where Japanese. Do you remember all the game delays right after launch?

Is it really more awkward then carrying around a Skylanders or Disney Infinity portal?

@aaronsullivan I don't think that the 3DS needs X & Y to save it. It's doing way to good right now. We have at least one more generation of handhelds before we can even think about mobil taking over.

@Dogpigfish Apparently that doesn't bother Nintendo much. There is a SMT X FE coming...

I use to make paper transformers.

Is that Audrey Drake in the background talking to Reggie? That might explain her sudden employment with Nintendo...

@PikaNick No, you could just pay the remainder with a credit/debit card.

@WiiLovePeace I think he means a full scale high budget game. That means that if they made a FE on Wii U it would be so awesome it's makes Awakening look boring.

@Kagamine Unless they convinced Amazon to do it. As long as the library isn't stuck to just the 3DS I can see this as quite successful.

@MideonNViscera The game is $50 new. They extra stuff is free. I'm guessing that the increased price is due to a larger card storage. I think this game is on a 4GB card vs a 2GB.

@Wheels2050 Welcome to the world.

@Shambo I think RK will just stick with the eShop for now. It's easier on them to release games that way. Plus they can release in Europe without much trouble.

@Sanqet Luckily for you it's really cheap. Only Like $4 at Gamestop.

When we got update 10U I noticed a few of my eShop titles would freeze when I went back into the game after it was suspended. I had Seasons lock up at least three times. After this update I haven't had any issues...
