for some reasons i have got one in my house now :pac: the 3D effect is INCREDIBLE.i am so impressed!! i am not sure if it is worty of its price tag but 3DS is such a masterpiece design in the handheld console industry. it is slick, sturgy and light - i was expecting something like the 1st gen NDS but i was wrong :P
and ye the same thing i'd say there is no killer launch title with it is abit let down

Well yeah, I suppose thats what I ment lol!would you not wait til zelda is released if youre interested in it, rather than buying it when its announced 8 months before release like?
Hoping it wouldnt take 8 months tho from announcement, they are surely working on the marque titles already.
Thats good if true, just around my birthdayvalleyoftheunos wrote: »Zelda OoT is expected sometime around June or July apparently, Mario Kart is also due sometime this year iirc. If thats the case I'd say it will be a massive seller for xmas.
Mariokart - meh

have done
its a tidy port, but its at its best without the 3d, just emphasisng my point that the whole premise of the device is pointless
how mahy people who bought 0 day machines will be using the 3d in 6 weeks time? not many ill wager
Well, I have been reading your recent posts on the 3DS, and boy do you have some serious hate for the machine.
I would have to say that its hard to take your opinion as you don't actually own one, while those that are posting here who have one and say they enjoy it and the 3D effect are speaking from actual experience, extended experience.
The device is hardly pointless either, the point being to create a handheld with a glassesless 3D display, that will enhance gameplay, that will allow the watching of 3D media and also includes online and social potential.
All the above are present and accounted for.
The 3D effect is convincing and not uncomfortable at all, once the slider is set right.
The machine is powerful enough to do the games justice, hence an excellent Ridge Racer and SSF4 for the system.
I remain unsure as to your reasons to pour such scorn on a console you don't own, you opinions are hollow without the experience to back them up.
When the top tier of Nintendo IPs appear on the machine will you be more impressed or make comments about "unoriginality"?
Are you instead awaiting the NGP?
Perhaps a more "conventional" console is more your taste?
Anyhow, please go, find a friend with a 3DS, play it for a while then get back to us.
Like it or not 3D without glasses is probably the biggest innovation in tech since the resistive touchscreen, all it awaits is similarly innovative applications, hence Pilotwings 3D and Ridge Racer.
Also, far to early in a consoles lifespan, only out yesterday in the Americas, to pass such a sweeping judgement on its potential, looks like you shot your load too early my friend, but don't worry, I'm sure it happens to lots of people...

I think Helix's problem is similar to my own which is a let down regarding the titles. Truth be told, I would have preferred if they brought out Tetris 3-D, rather than flipping Nintendogs(and Cats).
Also, many of us, do not know what exactly to expect from the 3-D capabilities of the 3DS and we dont want to be let down even further. I shall reserve judgement until I have a 3DS and a decent title in my hands.0 -

Well he has played the 3DS
A lot of people are not into the whole 3D buzz, does seem like a fad that's being pushed hard on people.
Personally I am interested in the 3DS and can't wait to see one in action but there's no release games I have any interest in (I'm a massive street fighter 4 fan but I'm not spending 300 euro to play it on a hand held when I could buy some badass arcade stick for that price for my ps3)
But I may buy one in the future when the price goes down/has better games.0 -

I'm one of the people who think 3d is just a fad.
The 3D effect to me is just an extra, I'm more into the networking features and finally a decent hardware update.
Agree, I actually haven't seen a single 3d movie, and I am really not crazed to see one etc... 3d works really cool on 3rds, but I can't see peoPle playing alot with 3d on. Specially whm battery life is horrible! I would expect that from Sony with awesome graphics, but here it's different...
It just looks same as wii, I was stupid enought to buy it on release. I Played for month and happily traded it in for last 60gb ps3. Best deccition I ever made. I bet half of gamers. Just bought normal controllers to play on wii or just traded it in. New gimmick is allways fun for a month, then it just boils down to game library and quality.
I still plan on buying a 3ds or second generation. When nintendo will milk enought parents and make price reasonable. Ds allways gad amazing library of turned based strategies which make me very horny 0 -

i dont own one, i got sent one on indefinite loaner by nintendo
do game journalists review versions of machines not count in your book?The device is hardly pointless either, the point being to create a handheld with a glassesless 3D display, that will enhance gameplay, that will allow the watching of 3D media and also includes online and social potential.
except the 3d doesnt enhance gameplay. how many people in here have already been saying theyre turning it off when they play? quite a fewThe 3D effect is convincing and not uncomfortable at all, once the slider is set right.
doesnt matter where the slider is set, my eyes dont like the effect. ive played full hd 3d games, watched 3d blurays on 62 inch sharp quattron tvs, seen 3d movies, and its the same with them all - the effect doesnt work particularly well for me and i find it more an irritant than anything elseThe machine is powerful enough to do the games justice, hence an excellent Ridge Racer and SSF4 for the system.
ridge racer is hardly excellentI remain unsure as to your reasons to pour such scorn on a console you don't own, you opinions are hollow without the experience to back them up.
again, see my first pointWhen the top tier of Nintendo IPs appear on the machine will you be more impressed or make comments about "unoriginality"?
Are you instead awaiting the NGP?
Perhaps a more "conventional" console is more your taste?
i love nintendo. im a borderline fanboy at times. your points are getting more than a little pathetic as we continueAnyhow, please go, find a friend with a 3DS, play it for a while then get back to us.
why dont i just turn on the one 2 feet away from me?Like it or not 3D without glasses is probably the biggest innovation in tech since the resistive touchscreen, all it awaits is similarly innovative applications, hence Pilotwings 3D and Ridge Racer.
i know, ive written a few articles about it. probably before you even so much as heard of autoscopic displaysAlso, far to early in a consoles lifespan, only out yesterday in the Americas, to pass such a sweeping judgement on its potential, looks like you shot your load too early my friend, but don't worry, I'm sure it happens to lots of people...
i never commented on its potential, i said as of right now i couldnt recommend it to anyone
sounds to me like youre trying to convice yourself its great more than anyone else to justify your outlay0 -

Lucky you, most of us had to pay for them.i dont own one, i got sent one on indefinite loaner by nintendo
Still, apologies.
Nonsense statement seeing as I didn't know you had a machine in your possession.do game journalists review versions of machines not count in your book?
Yes it does, in RR it enhances the visuals of the game and your judgement of approaching corners, in Pilotwings it improves you accuracy in landing, for example. StreetFighter is the one game that could do, and has done, just fine without.except the 3d doesnt enhance gameplay.
For you, sure, but there are plenty of folk out there who have had no problems with the 3D effect on the device.doesnt matter where the slider is set, my eyes dont like the effect. ive played full hd 3d games, watched 3d blurays on 62 inch sharp quattron tvs, seen 3d movies, and its the same with them all - the effect doesnt work particularly well for me and i find it more an irritant than anything else
Your experience of 3D elsewhere has little relevance, pretty much every early adopter who has bought a 3DS has had some experience of 3D gaming already.
Your comment is entirely subjective, not representative of the people I know who have bought one.
Again, your opinion, no more valid than mine.ridge racer is hardly excellent
I, as a Ridge Racer fan since the arcade, love this new game, not as much as my favourite of the series Rage Racer, but up there.
And on the subject of Ridge Racer 3D, play it using the bumper cam only, the game is less disorientating that way and its the only way the series should be played anyhow.
First part: Good for you, I have about 60 consoles in my collection now, including many Nintendo consoles, they make great stuff alright.i love nintendo. im a borderline fanboy at times. your points are getting more than a little pathetic as we continue
Second part: Feel free insult, very poor way of making your point though.why dont i just turn on the one 2 feet away from me?
What a good idea, remember to turn off the 3D though, you don't find it pleasant I seem to recall.i know, ive written a few articles about it. probably before you even so much as heard of autoscopic displays
Well done you on writing article on autoscopic displays!
How clever!
I am not going to get into a p1ssing contest here, but I have had plenty of experience with 3D displays, I have more than one 3D Nintendo console in my collection, Mario Tennis is very good though, I'm hoping a Virtual Boy collection will be downloadable soon so others can enjoy it too.
Don't presume to know more than others, may be misunderstood as arrogance.
No, but you do seem to consider the machine poor almost exclusively because you find the 3D effect uncomfortable.i never commented on its potential, i said as of right now i couldnt recommend it to anyone
The launch lineup is not as stellar as perhaps it could have been, I bought Ridge Racer, SSF4 and Pilotwings and I'm pretty happy.
Not as happy as I will be in May when the new firmware should unlock the machines potential.
I am particularly looking forward to a movie download service myself.
You are probably right to not recommend it to everyone, but anyone is a bit strong.
I was waiting for a sequel to Pilotwings since the N64 game and it took this long, that was the killer app I was waiting for, and I got it.
Now, I am disappointed at the lack of content in the game, but it is an excellent game to show off the display.
Well, assume away there my friend.sounds to me like youre trying to convice yourself its great more than anyone else to justify your outlay
I am happy with my purchase, its a beautifully designed device, I have games that I am enjoying to play on it.
It was expensive but the price of entry to new hardware is always high.
Every console I have ever bought at launch has had a similar tale to tell regarding launch games, PS2 had a terrible launch line up yet it went on to have a long and wonderful career as a gamesconsole hosting some genre redefining titles.
Who's to say the 3DS won't be the same?
Thanks for your input though, I know now why I favour the rather excellent Arcade & Retro forum instead 0 -
