ocarina of time is remaked now for 5th time? seriuosly nintendo...

Ghost Recon Shadow Wars was excellent.
Samurai Warriors is supposed to be good (I can't find a copy).
Nintendogs+Cats, while not a game, is pretty addictive.

Only 5?
Feels like it's been 7 at least.

Just in comparison, the PSP has sold over 68 million. I know that's total, but it's got a long way to go.

Wow go Sony, that's almost half what the DS sold (over 146 million) in roughly the same time-frame :P

30% price cut
nintendo projected figures for the year down 82%
sales divebombing

FLOOOOOOOOOOOP

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 5:55pm

30% is a lot! Where'd be cheapest to buy here?

That said, you need games to shift consoles. A new Mario and Zelda traditionally. Or even that new Resi game.

You know what'd be awesome? If you were able to plug in your 3DS (or DS) into the TV and play it on the screen. I should really buy that GC adapter for the GB/GBC/GBA.....

ShadowHearth · 28-07-2011 6:02pm

ffs stop bringing in zombie threads lads

what did they expect in all fairness?

so it should be around 199eu? they had to do it with Vita just behind the corner.

Ds was always cheap and good bang for the money with casual games. Parents were buying Ds, because alternatives were really expensive.

Meh, I'm enjoying OoT and The Mercenaries 3D. And I'll enjoy my 20 free games:

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 6:27pm

lol it's 10 games from a choice of 20. I'd take the 80 quid instead though!

That's something but I can't believe they've cut the price so much.

ShadowHearth · 28-07-2011 6:28pm

so online store still not open? jesus...

when we would feel a price cut? i presume gamestops wount know a thing about it yet.

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 6:33pm

the price cut isn't til August 12 in the states. So maybe in 2013 here

best just ask around the shops come August. But maybe September.

Em, it's ten NES and ten GBA games, there's no choice.

It's been open since June 7th.

It's August 12th in the US, Europe's date is TBA.

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 7:20pm

aha ok cheers, i read it wrong

i'll still take the €80. But hey, Ocarina of Time 3D must be awesome. What's it like playing a console game on a handheld?

Is Layton vs Phoenix Wright far away?

ShadowHearth · 28-07-2011 7:21pm

cheers. for info. i just assumed its not open.

so if its in US on 12th, then it will be here in 2020 then so.

269eu on gamestop, so i presume it will be around 180-190 quid? sounds more reasonable. might pick it up then.

shizz · 28-07-2011 7:29pm

Having bought the 3ds near the release date im not too annoyed about the price drop as I got mine from hmv when they were selling it for €205 thankfully. So not much of a price drop and plenty of free games

they knew the same time as the rest of us i assume, when it was announced last night.

the thing is, speaking to a fair few retailers the general concensus is that very few places were charging full price for it anyway since they were trying to shift stock. the €80 cut brings the official RRP in line with what many places were charging anyway, so it remains to be seen whether this will be a salvagable operation from nintendo

the whole idea of switching the focus from 3d to "next generation power" also seems a little redundant given that the vita will blow it out of the water on that front

in fact it seems like nintendo have really screwed up with their next gen consoles. the 3ds's main feature is the reason many people arent bothering with it, and the wii u is technically on a par with the already established 360 and ps3, which will both be replaced within the next 18 months or so

now i love nintendo, but theyve really screwed up here

Sephiroth_dude · 28-07-2011 8:06pm

There dropping too 169 dollars over in the usa

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 8:20pm

Agreed Helix. Although I am quite interested in the WiiU's controller and the prospect of no HUD on the screen

petty i know but it's a flexible console......i guess that's also my qualm with PSVita; it has everything, but what's the gimmick, you know? That makes me think worse of the WiiU, lol. I suppose it depends on the implementation of the Nintablet.

Anyway it's all about exclusive killer software. I don't know what they're bringing out at Launch for the Wii U but it's gotta be great. 1-2 killer apps along with a free demo pack.

Nintendo will put it out of the hat

Maybe

it sounds very harsh, but he is right. nintendo did do a booboo.

i would get a 3DS just because i newer ever had DS and i would use it more to play old games, then new ones. If nintendo will try to jump the ZOMG AWESOME GRAPHICS! then VITA will just go *yawn*.

this price drop just show how bad situation is. it wount repeat Virtual boy tragedy, but i doubt it will do as great as original DS.

Wii U is late to the party. there was nothing that would interest me. Nintendo allways trying to reinvent wheel with controls. Now thanks to nintendo, the real gaming got set back by good 1-2 years, because all jumped in one stupid motion control train...

thanks god my good old wee PC is still has some brains left in it!

Thus getting them far cheaper and not missing out on great games like the stuff Atlus brings out. Which is why I'll be getting mine there.

have customs not tightened the noose a little on importing from outside the eu?

Is there no workaround for the region lock?
