@Storytime7 It would've given them exactly enough to put "everyone". It makes me feel as if this tournament is being arranged by somebody who is five years old.
I guess this means that Splatoon will be in Apex next year? And I still think there's a good chance that Mewtwo will be playable in Smash 4 at this year's one.
The new "remodel" feature in Steel Diver Sub Wars was so blatantly pay to win that it made me stop playing the game entirely. I really liked the road it seemed to be going, but that was just unacceptable. As for Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, I think the games are way too basic to warrant even the lowest price you can get for them, but I haven't bought any, so I don't know. Pokemon Shuffle has all the worst aspects of free to play, and I hope that nobody actually pays for that crap. Free to play is a broken system. Not even Nintendo can get it right. I'd rather them just stick to add-ons for full games, like they did with Mario Kart 8.
@mullen I'm just going off of the people I personally know. On the internet I see it as a vocal minority, as only the people that are mad will speak out.
My game card has only come out once when I dropped my 3DS. Also those Wii accessories were terrible and I have no idea why people bought them (other than the Wii Wheel, but that was official).
@Bazly Your opinions make no sense, and Nintendo won't answer your pleas (and probably even planned for them). Just go with the bigger one. If your pockets are to small, get bigger pockets. Mine fit my XL perfectly fine. If people can find ways to carry tablets around, I think you can find a solution for something much smaller. And if you don't get a New 3DS XL anyway, then you have nothing to complain about. $0 for nothing is a pretty good deal.
@Wilford111 If they dropped the Wii name, people would complain that nobody would know that it's the successor to the Wii. If they delayed the system launch to get more games ready, then they would have much bigger problems. The Wii already wore out its welcome, and the momentum was dead. The Wii U needed to release when it did, or its situation would be much worse.
@midnafanboy @bazly
It's a hard job. They only did what made sense. Really, most of it was out of their hands. The world just moved on after the Wii and DS. There isn't much they could have done about it. That said we should set our sights at the current state of Wii U and 3DS sales. The 3DS is a huge success, and the Wii U is slowly picking up. A few ammeters would get a situation like the Ouya, which didn't pick up, despite them thinking that they were hot stuff.
@Bazly You think you know better than the big boys at Nintendo It's natural to feel that you're smarter than everyone, but you have to understand that these folks know what they're doing. They didn't sell 40 million in the 3DSs by being dumb.
I prefer Xenoblade Chronicles 3D over Majora's Mask 3D because a it's a Wii game and thus much more ambitious than an N64 game. I prefer Zelda U over Xenoblade Chronicles X because what is currently known about it is just more exciting.
@k8sMum
So you're saying that it will make no impact, yet you go on about how Nintendo would respond to it impacting... What? We all know that the small 3DS and DSi didn't sell well in America. I never see them around town. The amount of people that really like those and also weren't willing to switch to XL is very small. It'll take a tiny slice out of the New 3DS XL's sales, and Nintendo knows that already. If the New 3DS fails, it won't be because of the small amount of people they alienated. And in that situation they wouldn't be able to bring out the smaller version, because no stores would carry something that would sell less than something that, in that situation, had very little sales to begin with.
And about your whining? It's pointless. It's already been said, and it's not changing Nintendo's mind.
@k8sMum The whole "vote with your wallet" thing doesn't work as well as most people think it does. If their sales are low, they won't know why, and there's no way they'll convince stores to sell a smaller version of the same thing after the first one bombed.
It can't be that bad if it's only $2. Block Drop U was the same price, but it got a 6 (by a different reviewer, I know). Anyway, I loved Wii Play Tanks, so this seems interesting to me.

Re: New 3DS and Nintendo-Exclusive Games Stay On Top in Japanese Charts
@mullen But most buying the normal sized one would just settle for the XL.
Re: New 3DS and Nintendo-Exclusive Games Stay On Top in Japanese Charts
So the XL sells way better than the regular New 3DS even in Japan. No wonder they didn't bring it over here.
