Yeah, it is a little difficult to explain without imagery.

@tchaten
That makes sense. Another question if you would be so kind as to answer, how do you hold your 3DS? I hold it mostly in my fingers, it rests on my middle finger and only touches my palm, for lack of a better term, at the ball of my index finger. My index fingers rest on the bumper triggers and my thumbs sit on the face buttons. Maybe my hand is just smaller, but I don't think that's case.

@tchaten #426
I honestly do not understand how people hurt their hands while playing on the 3DS are you just gripping it too tight?

@Hyperstar96 #17
Earn some more money and buy the games. The big developers may not be affected as much, your despicable actions cripple independent developers.

This makes perfect sense. A mother could easily fit this into her purse and pull it out for her 7 year old or younger child to play on during long car rides or waits (such as in hospitals). It's what parents already do with their smartphones or tablets, so why not give them a system with more high quality games and that won't break as easily as a smartphone or tablet?

@Knux #7
Except that 3DS are selling and there is no damage to control.

@Spoony_Tech #30
Screen protectors, duh. The 3DS scratches itself whenever you close it. I didn't buy a screen protector and now I have a nice square etched into to my upper screen.

Why would they announce a price cut early on? The sales are bad as it is, announcing the price cut months in advance would make them worse.

Not in the least. The XL has a matte finish and a light color scheme, the 3DS has a metallic finish and a more bold and dark color scheme. The XL is larger and rounded so that it fits into kids' hands easily and it doesn't scratch as easily due to it's matte finish. You have your age groups mixed up.

@SkywardLink98 #10
I totally agree, F2P can be pretty dang good, we just don't want some titles to become F2P.

This might make me wake up with cold sweats.

@Alienfish #21
They are probably comparing themselves to this

@FREDRUGER #182
More offensive than your language is your inability to recognize sarcasm.

Quoting all of the upset/opposed people above, "Gaming is serious business!"
And I'm inclined to agree. Gaming isn't about fun, shame on you for wanting something silly.

@Grubdog #2
Why not? If they start work this early, they will have plenty of time to smooth out the wrinkles and reedit the game into greatness.

I haven't played enough Phoenix Wright to know, but don't they usually not show the entire bloodied body? Like the bodies in the picture? That is probably what gave it the M rating, that or there are rape cases because even the cases in the first game were pretty brutal if you thought about them.

@SCAR392 #155
Yup, I was agreeing with you.
Nintendo should just drop $5 off the retail price for every eShop game, that way it's not a ripoff for those getting it online, and it's not that big of a loss for those who buy solid copies.

@suburban_sensei #17
exactly, that's why Nintendo has the same price as target, walmart, bestbuy, gamestop, etc. Because if you could get the games for $10 cheaper, why would you even bother with hard copies?

@Yanchamaru #4
I think their heads would too, presumably because they would have literally no idea as to why they would do it.

I'm all for female protagonists, but nothing forced is ever good.

@Tmdean #1
Iwata may be the CEO, but Nintendo is run by a head of six, and the remaining five would never let that happen.

@mikeyman64
It was fun for me too, but I want to be able to take a break without all the weeds growing in .

@MasterGraveheart #90

You should follow the news here more often. That was one of the first things Sakurai addressed.

@chewytapeworm
The Villager just might take his place.

It's the only way they'd get me to play...or if the game ran on it's own less-than-24-hours clock.

@LordGeovanni
You shouldn't let him get to you, the fact that he made so many comments that all had the same level of audacity just screams that he is not being serious and is not worth your time or your stress.

@TBD
I am.
p.s. I like your new avatar.
EDIT: Is there any way to get rid of the space that shows up under replies after edits? In this case, how "I am" is now double spaced away from "@TBD" instead of single spaced.

@johndevine
Well that's a shame, I was really looking forward to that list.

@johndevine #3
All right, let's take you up on that. Right now, in five minutes, make a list of all the characters you would put into smash. But you can't just stop at the names add the damage they deal with attacks, I'll give you a list to help.
All regular attacks: standing, up, and crouched
All charged attacks: up, crouched, and to the side
All aerial attacks: free falling, up, down, and behind
All smash attacks: standing, to the side, up, and down
And, finally, how much damage their super smash attack does.
But not only how much damage, also tell us what each smash attack and super smash does and how it works.
Finally, tell us how much damage each character takes from each other and how many units they are knocked backed with different levels of damage.

You may just be messing around to provoke people, but still, you said you could do it, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Without third party support, Nintendo fans may buy a PC

There, I fixed it.

Nintendo wouldn't have gone ahead with the gamepad if they didn't know what they were going to use it for. Time doesn't like to think much, do they?

@Stark_Nebula #87
I can't argue with that, we are all entitled to our opinions after all.

@sonicfan1373 #96
Fingers crossed that they do.

@Marshi #110
Your inability to breath may be what's leading you to misread my comment. Get some oxygen to your brain so that it can function properly and reread my comment.
I only asked two questions, both rhetorical, and you answered neither.
I did not say it was innovative, what I said was

Note that I wrote 3D Mario and not just Mario. Obviously we have multiplayer in the 2D Marios, but having 4 people play at once in a 3D Mario? The first time I hear of it.

"I'm disappointed" how about you actually start thinking for at least a minute (I might be asking for the impossible here), all the people who say this? Nintendo is trying something new here, they are adding multiplayer to a 3D Mario.

Do you actually think they could successfully add a 4 person multiplayer to a game like galaxy, and not have it be frustrating? In a game like Galaxy, where each stage requires a bit of roaming, 4 person multiplayer would fall flat on its face.

As we all know, 3D Land had a very linear stage setup that 4 unique players can easily navigate together, which is exactly why Nintendo chose this setup to try out multiplayer.

Reading through these comments almost makes me sick. You people praise Nintendo's innovation and willingness to try new things one minute, then you crucify them for it the next.

Also says gamers see tablet and mobile as "perfect substitutes" for 3DS

Because monster hunter would play so smoothly on a tablet.

As long as Nintendo makes it themselves. I don't know if it was just the demo, but the Sonic Racing was buggy and had terrible handling. That and it felt like a complete ripoff of every racing game that Nintendo has ever made.

@Jim_Reaper #41
Except that it wasn't.

@Aviator #12
You don't need to play every game to know if somewhere around 97% of the games were bad. If you have advanced past algebra you should have learned that. Scientists don't have to check the eyes of all 7 billion people to know that approximately 8% of the world has blue eyes.

The round and soft art reminds me of Emerald.

That Pikachu is clay.

@evanescent_hero #52
Agreed

Now we get emails for replies?!

@evanescent_hero #26
They could, but why would they? It's an innocent reference.

@ACK #30
But who really plays Fire Emblem for the story? It's one of those games where story is not even necessary.

@Legromancer #56
Because he didn't have any evidence to back it up.

@bluesun #58
It appears that America decided to stay true to the text while the Europeans blushed like twelve year olds and changed it.

I've seen the fan translation, and its is perfect.

@JonWahlgren
I don't argue with that. Several of the games are directly connected. Obvious examples are OoT and Majora's (and TP since it's practically an OoT remake), and Wind Waker through Spirit Tracks. And even though Nintendo threw a timeline together, I doubt the Miyamoto will have it in consideration whenever he makes a Zelda game.

The Legend of Zelda didn't even have a timeline until Miyamoto caved into fan requests, so you can't really muddy a timeline that never existed.

Why is the game so matte? I am very disappointed with the texture quality.

I like it. Make a game and then add the nostalgia, you don't want the game to run off of nostalgia.

They can help the system become more successful by putting the game on there.

@WIngedFish
I guess they may not be so bad in everyone's opinion, but I am not a big fan of crude humor or scenes that children (the target audience) would not understand nor appreciate.

The other two consisted of a boring, unoriginal cliche event and a momentary rabid unicorn that may have been disturbing to children.

@theblackdragon #33
Have you watched the deleted scenes? The whole time I was thinking, "This was intended for a children's movie?" I think they fired whoever made those storyboards, because the story was tremendously different in them.

@SCAR392 #8
Did you just double the price of the gamepad?

@gundam00
Versus the game being delayed for a while just so they could add something as insignificant as feet. This is why videogamers are called man-children, this line of thinking is so infantile it hurts my brain.
