He kinda made that point, no one claims that Sony is doomed even when it's obvious that they are not doing well.
And I hope Sony goes near bankruptcy, it will force them to start making quality products, they are too full of themselves and their near demise would be poetic justice.

@C-Olimar
FIngers crossed, hope you can get one .

These analysts need to analyse their analysis's and realize that they are being anal.

@C-Olimar
#75 You see?
I'll have to take your word for it, I've never experienced any pain with any remote * shrugs *
I think that the Cosmo can compete, it actually looks a little elegant (at least to me) and I quite like the "bulge", I guess it really does come down to personal opinion .

I actually don't mind the slight pixelation either, but it can be a world of a difference to some people.
My pants are kinda tight at the pockets, the 3DS can be uncomfortable at times.

Nothing personal here either .

#76 and #77 You know you can edit your posts right? XD

@AlphaIchimoru
It started out as light hearted comments.

@braiks
No, it really isn't. How about the obvious answers:
The appearance of the system - obviously from my walls of text, it can be a big deal for people,
The appearance of games on the screen - I don't know about you, but I prefer it when my games are less pixely,
Portability - The size difference can be a big difference in your pocket.

@C-Olimar
Can't believe that I actually wrote magenta down...I corrected it for the XL, but whatever. Thanks for pointing that out. I got an eye test two years ago 20/40, 20/45. It is actually the best amongts my friends who wear glasses :/.

Check your first sentence, my friend. I actually don't understand how it hurts people's hands, are you just squeezing it harder than you need to, because that may the problem. I've also never had a hand cramp either, so I guess it really just depends on how you hold it.

The visual differences are actually quite obvious. To call it a child's system is not completely true (it may have started as a child's system but it has begun to move past that, games like Monster Hunter are not exactly tailored for children) as it has plenty of games that are for adults (not talking about rating here).

No, not really, the way it transitions into clear plastic looks purposeful (and I rather liked it but that's personal opinion). Black, being the neutral color that it is, actually goes well with any other color... which colors it does, however, is up to personal taste (I hate gold/yellow and black but I have friends that absolutely love it).

@C-Olimar #60
Are you trolling me right now? Or is your eyesight just bad?

Just look at them: comfortable shades of red and cyan, intense but not too bright, smooth gradation, nice slightly metallic finish, smooth curves and softly rounded edges, and a smooth and single film over the SELECT, HOME, and START buttons. I won't even show the Cosmo because you wouldn't be able to counter argue.

But look at these, largely rounded edges, tinted red and blue without gradation (I would paint a baby's room with that blue), soft matte finish, and large, slightly rounded and easily clickable SELECT, HOME, and START buttons.

@C-Olimar #35
Yes, the colours are less intense and have more shade (meaning more mature), it has a metallic finish, and that gradation is simply gorgeous, I could use it as a center piece if I wanted.
The XL is more intense and tinted (less mature), it has a matte finish, the color is solid, and it is much larger which, with the rest of it, makes it look like it was made for a child that is still getting used to precise control of its hands.

I love Nintendo, but I am still upset that they took so long to release the cobalt 3DS. I had to get the black one because the blue was just so dang "meh" and then months leater, "Hey look cobalt!" Come on Nintendo.
Rant aside, I would be willing to buy this.

@TheAdza
You would shame the Fire Emblem logo by putting it on something that looks like it belongs in the baby's toy chest, something that they would chew on?

@PvtOttobot #15
You need to go and look at the cover titles.

@Adam #30
It is the X, go look at the X in the cover title, the tops represent the antlers and the Y in Pokemon Y is the same exact shape as the bird

@Onett #141

@MeowGravy #22
Having Pocket Monsters on a console that doesn't fit in your pocket would be kinda strange, wouldn't it?

Nintendo needs to take Darksiders, if it really is as similar to LoZ, then they would work well with it.

@GreenDream #17
You can't really expect a hardened bounty hunter who has destroyed several planets to be brimming with emotion, now can you?

@element187 #18
Exactly!

@Tech101 #6
> cut scenes look better than gameplay
That's kinda how it always is.

I've got a chair of salt and a bed of salt...I guess I could start building a desk of salt.

@LexKitteh #36
I totally agree, it's ironic that a casual can pick up a "hardcore" game and beat it with ease but will struggle with the original Mario.

@Emaan
Your concern is caused by you lack of understanding of the word "stress."

@Mahe #31
Hardcore is(was) based on the game's difficulty. Obviously, hardcore now refers to games that are shoveled out like a factory line * cough * CoD * cough *

That's unfortunate.

I like this a lot. Bringing back the "hardcore" to Nintendo games. They will most likely add a free time mode (probably after you beat the game) for the game, because that is also fun .

For those of you who only play video games to unwind, there's a lot you are missing out on in the core market.

They should start releasing consoles with 5 min load times, this microwave generation is quite whiny.

@steamhare #35
I totally agree, but my point is that game is still normally priced at full retail even though its online.

This may blatantly use concepts from other games but it uses them so well that you can't accuse it of being a ripoff. Also, is the add that led me hear put there by Nintendolife itself?

@chiptoon #6
Did you see how small the number for the "rest of the world" was in comparison to the big sellers? I

@Reala #8
Do you also complain to Steam? Because the games there are full retail price. The Steam sales are irrelevant so don't bring them up, the game is still full price regularly.

@Rod64 #9
Ouch

@WhiteKnight
Challenging is not the same as tedious.

@JonWahlgren #6
If I hadn't already been a member of NintendoLife, I would have assumed that its full of immature people. Please, think about who you are representing before you make such childish comments.

@0LD_SK0OL_PUNK
Oh, hyperbole...duh.

@morphballer #3
It took me a while to think of what Twilight you were referring to.

@Mahe #105
Twilight Princess

@LEGEND_MARIOID #111
No, not really. Not when you compare it to Pedro Campos

@0LD_SK0OL_PUNK
Actually read through the comments some time.

@pntjr
Twilight Princess wasn't "kiddie."

@WesCash #67
It doesn't come to a complete point?

@bluecat
I mean that a few dust bunnies and a handful of crumbs hitched a ride on his face.

@bluecat
I would prefer it to be darker as well, but he doesn't have to look like he's been stuck in the couch cushions for a few years.

@AlphaIchimoru
Agreed.

@bluecat
This one is much better. Its realistic but still bright enough for all ages.

I'll wait for a longer lasting, bigger charge, and more reliable battery.

Why is he so damn scrawny? Link is no muscle man, but he has some meat on those bones. I imagine this guy would get tired after moving three boxes.
@Gamesake #16
And he will be rescuing his daughter, Zelda. Perfect .

@ChunkyDroid #26
Not really, HAL was a substitute for IBM. Arthur C. Clarke was, according to speculation, warning people about the danger of giving computers too much power.

@wcb123
Well,he does have human centipede for his avatar.

@LordJumpMad #33
Damnit LJM,
"Nintendo cutting corners again? Nothing new there.
Kinda sad how quickly and easily the Wii U can be [to] hack, better hide your credit cards info."

@SuperMinusWorld
I think you meant to use the word "but" instead of and "and."

There are only three colors to paint with and only twelve notes for music, yet look at all the beautiful art we create and all the amazing music we make. Restrictions are a good thing.

@6ch6ris6 #11
So, you turned the irony on, afterwards...?

@Chriiis #38
He didn't say that it wasn't needed, he just challenged the team to do something different.

@eirikr #40
That's strange, I distinctly remember leveling up several times. In fact, leveling up almost sucked because the enemies died faster so I could pull off extended jump combos anymore. On of the best things of Super Paper Mario is that I did not have to get stuck in turn based battle just to kill an enemy.

@ThePillowGolem #50
That is true. I think Miyamoto was correct in challenging them, you can't have good games if there is not a challenge to make them better.

@NintendoNaut #53
I don't know about you, but I mainly use my 3DS in the car or in school if I have spare time. It's nice having a game that you can just easily leave at any moment.

@Philip_J_Reed #60
Thank you for that. I actually got quite a good laugh from it.

@True_Hero #64
This is so dang true.

Wasn't this on the list of games that one guy found when he accidentally hacked the Wii U?

@Tsuchiya
Did you already forget Miyamoto is working on one?

@edcomics #5
Have you seen anything of ZombieU? It's a realistic game, and realistically Zombies would be slow. Realistically, they wouldn't be able to walk after a few days.

@SMW #9
You can't really said it killed the charm, its almost not even related.

@Abcdude #16
Articles are there for you to read...do you know what that is?

@TheDreamingHawk #22
Did you read the article?

Clover Field, Metal Gear Solid, Rabids, Dead Space...It would have been an interesting game.

@True_Hero #5
Imagine all the game pads that Nintendo themselves dropped.

@AlphaIchimoru
I second that.

This is the constant quality throughout Vagabond.

How's this for realistic and dark?
