Title: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on March 27, 2011, 04:55:26 AM
I got mine, I played Rayman. It was meh.
I played Bust a Move, it was Bust a Move. With a little bit of 3D (oh boy).
Thank you Nintendo, for the lamest launch lineup since the Wii. You are on a roll.
the 3D is the same 3D that PS3 does on big shiney TV. It is no different. Its worse actually. You are required to hold the thing a certain way for it to 3D. With glasses, you don't have to worry as much.
This sounds familiar. Having to hold the DS properly to "enjoy" the 3D.
having to hold the Gameboy properly to f*cking see it.

No Kidding. I am going to pick mine up in a bit and the game I buy will be Pilotwings. I am debating on getting Ridge Racer ot Monkeyball. Both probably suck. To be honest I'm not really excited.

Got mine but won't get to play until tonight. There were some great deals today, picked up the system and Pilotwings at KMART, and got Pilotwings for $25 off.
Then I went to Toys R Us and got Street Fighter and Ridge Racer for buy one get one half off.
I am damn excited to play later! ...I just hope I don't regret passing on Monkey Ball.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on March 27, 2011, 06:35:34 AM
I only bought bust a move. I played Rayman in the store and put it back.
SFIV is SFIV on a DS. That automatically sucks. My friend is currently regretting that.
Pilotwings with Mii's is retarded, and I dont like racing games.
The launch library blows

Just played 15 minutes of Pilotwings, and I was impressed. 3D looked pretty cool and the gameplay is classic.

yes , it is, but f*ckkkkkkkkkkkkk the Mii nonsense.
I wanted SNES classic style to go with the gameplay. I was very sad to see that cover.
Steel diver got awful reviews, so I might go buy that game because its probably great
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: TheClash603 on March 27, 2011, 07:37:47 AM
Steel Diver and Monkey Ball were almost purchased by me with the Toys R Us deal, but 5 games seemed out of control.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on March 27, 2011, 07:46:07 AM
Nothing is out of control!
I know the 3DS will shine eventually.
I still think its funny how many people *NOW* give 3D gaming a shot. This shits been around since SMS. I laughed at how many "in the know" "gurus" had NO CLUE that this kind of gimmick effect was around BITD. and on my PS3 already.
I think I'd rather wear glasses for it, to be honest.

Post by: DragonmasterDan on March 27, 2011, 08:24:20 AM
I got four games, Pilotwings, Super Street Fighter IV, Super Monkey Ball and Ridge Racer.
I like the system. I even don't mind the 3D, once you get in a comfortable position just keep the slider set to the appropriate level of 3D for it to work and you're set.

What is your favorite game? What you think of Monkey Ball?

Monkey Ball is the game I've played the least of. It was purchased more due to Toys R us being buy 1 get one half off than because it was high on my want list.
The best playing game is Street Fighter IV. Ridge Racer has the best 3D.

I'm somewhat surprised to see so many stacks of these at the store. Nintendo either had a huge supply, or they aren't selling.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on March 27, 2011, 11:06:37 AM
Theyre not selling well from what I have been told by friends who work at gamestop. There wasn't even a huge line/rush this morning. It was just casual "oh, 3DS please"
I went 30 mins after they opened and was like wtf where is everyone.
Maybe this will be the first time Nintendo doesn't automatically win because nintendo.

ah yeah, there was that Tic Tac Toe game, I think, and maybe a few others.
So yeah, the whole things been done already. I think Outrun3D basically kicks the crap out of the entire launch lineup right now.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Joe Redifer on March 27, 2011, 02:19:12 PM
I enjoy my 3DS. I haven't played Pilotwings too much yet, but it was enjoyable. Super Monkey Ball is pretty fun, though! The playfield tilts too much and it is too easy (so far), but otherwise it seems to be really good. It's been a while since there was a Monkey Ball game that could be played with conventional controls. You can tilt your 3DS like a retard to play this, but who wants to do that?
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: TheClash603 on March 27, 2011, 03:09:14 PM
I played Pilotwings a little over two hours, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I don't know how long the game is going to last, but for $15, I'll take the 6-10 hours I get out of it.
I am excited to play Ridge Racer and Street Fighter, but unfortunately my battery just died. I played maybe 2 1/2 hours and it already bit the dust. Wi-Fi was off... yikes!
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on March 27, 2011, 03:33:29 PM
the battery life is gamegear caliber.
I think the little card doodads are the coolest part so far. The games havent really given me that special tingle in the pants yet.
My friend got pilot wings and I played it for a bit. I really cant take the appearance of the game, at all. But if you squint a little and dont stare too directly, you can pretend its not that stupid looking.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: hizaygizirlz on March 28, 2011, 04:19:41 PM
I passed on one for now, because nothing impressed me in the launch line-up. If I was going to get a game it would have been pilotwings.
Plenty of systems have had ho-hum launch games and turned out great so the 3DS will be no exception.
When the good N64 ports arrive along w/ the Kid Icarus game everyone is going to want one. Think what they will be able to do with a Castlevania game on there so the future is definitely promising.

Post by: hizaygizirlz on March 28, 2011, 08:19:55 PM
Zelda OoT is going to move systems, I personally want the Star Fox game as well. I can see how some people don't like ports since you are paying for a game you arleady played. I haven't really been following the games, but I have to think Nintendo has some big game saved for the holday season.
I might just order one shortly. I don't think i will beat $250 I have tons of Amazon credit, and I could essentially get a game for $15.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: SignOfZeta on March 28, 2011, 08:20:36 PM
Yeah, the N64 sucked. Lets please move on from that idea and just make new stuff...which is probably exactly what will happen. People were convinced that the GBA was going to be some sort of SNES port machine and in the end we didn't get hardly any (any?) actual SNES ports.
This system seems to be generating a lot of negative commentary, but the battery life is the biggest problem with it from what I can see. If you only get 2.5 hours out of it now, what's it going to be like when the battery is a year old? Shit, I get a lot more than that from my iPhone, and I recharge that f*cker twice a day at least.

What I have find funny is the 3ds has pulled many of the same things that people railed HARD on the psp when it launched. Price, and being port city (though the 3ds adds a typical "gimmick"). Once again Nintendo is "SO REVOLUTIONARY", yet they are relying on a lot of ports, with a few remake/upgrades to pull in the fanboys. There are a few cool looking games coming, but far to few that grab me for my liking.
When the good N64 ports show up..what the small handful of games that were good to begin with or have held up decently? ;) I think the 64 left a bad/meh taste in a LOT of peoples mouths. I wouldn't count Kid Icarus, or 64 ports to sell to the masses as much as you think. Sell decently, maybe, sell millions of systems, probably not.

Just as long as that Castlevania is NOT in the new timeline with Lords of Shadow, I hate the game, & hate the direction they've gone so far storywise.....& musicwise......& gameplay-wise. It'd probably be an ok game...without the CV name attatched to it......like it originally was until Konami has the bright idea of making it a CV.

I haven't been paying much attention, but what N64 ports are you talking about? I mean, actual ports not sequel-ports like Animal Crossing? I'm positive that the number of N64 ports on 3DS could never possibly reach the number of PS ports on PSP, which is just embarrassing. I think there might actually be more PS games ported to PSP than there are retail N64 games.

Probably not. While the N64 was a huge flop for me, people are actually pretty in love with it still. Its actually a "retro" console to a lot of 20 year olds now and they still pay real money for the games at the used stores. I don't get it either. Hopefully the thing will get so popular that it will draw money away from the Turbo market and the prices on NEC stuff with drop! :)
Yeah, not going to happen.
Title: Re: The 3DS!

The only two N64 ports I can think of are Zelda: Ocarina of Time and StarFox 64.

Especially in Japan there are alot of PSX ports. Breath of Fire 3(which got a EU release, & I have it), but also both Mega Man Legends(which I would love for them to bring over now, especially since I heard the controls are improved!). Suikoden 1 & 2(once again, I have it, though, wish it was in english, stupid Konami!), Star Ocean 2...though we actually got that one over here. I know there's a ton more.

The N64 ports was in response to hiz comments...I am talking about the ports like SF IV, MGS3, etc. I have yet to see a game (or multiple) to wow me/entice me to buy yet. Add the abysmal battery life is beyond sad.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on March 29, 2011, 12:17:46 PM
I can count the games on N64 I liked with 2 hands, but I don't need all ten fingers.
Either way, Its stupid if ports are what sells a system. Itd be like PS3 being sold because they port PS1 games to it.
Release the ports later after you've proven the new library is worth two shits.
They're not really being revolutionary, but Nintendo has this really great skill at advertising so they seem super hip and fresh about things that already existed.
then, all the ignorant hipsters go OMG I LUB BINTENDO I BUY THE NEW THING ILL PLAY MII ON IT.
etc. etc. etc.
The thing is a fingerprint cunt whore f*cking bastard asriogajrgoitjWE;RGLTKJE5H by the way.

Been playing a lot of Street Fighter lately. The online play is smoother than the console versions. Also, with the touch screen special moves, the game is more about strategy than technical ability. It almost turns SF into a RTS game, and it is really cool. Definitely the best 3DS game I have played.

I got mine from Amazon a couple days ago along with Street Fighter IV. Got Street Fighter IV for $15 cause Amazon had a promotion where you buy a 3DS and get $25 off a launch game. Street Fighter IV is f*cking awesome. The 3D mode where you look over your character's shoulder is awesome.
Not many of the other launch games really impress me. I played Pilotwings and Best Buy and it was OK. Has anybody played Lego Star Wars? That game looked pretty fun and might be the next game I pick up. That or Ridge Racer.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: hizaygizirlz on April 02, 2011, 09:35:24 PM
I ordered mine off Amazon. I have to wait until it ships before I can pick my $25 off game. Pilotwings is the front runner and number 2 would be the Ghost Ricon game.

Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: hizaygizirlz on April 15, 2011, 05:11:39 PM
Ok I finally have mine. I put 3-4 hours into pilotwings I like it, but it's not like it is a revolutionary departure from the SNES one or the N64 one so if you've played those just think of this a new missions, but the same philosophy.
We have already established that the launch line up is mediocre and everyone is pretty much just picking up the niche games that appeal to them at this point. (I did also pick up GR: Shadow Wars, but have yet to play it.)
I can't comment on the battery life as mine has always been plugged in. One thing I do want to emphasis, and I think Arkhan pointed this out earlier in the thread, but I couldn't find it at a glance.
There is a big emphasis on holding the system right to the point that you could be playing a game and you shift you wrist and then all of a sudden you are seeing double objects on the screen or burred vision, then you are shifting back and forth trying to get the picture to come in properly and not focusing on the game.
It is not a deal breaker by any means I'm excited to see what direction they go in terms of software, but the screen going into double vision at an inopportune time is going to frustrate a lot of people. I would hope it wouldn't be a problem once you got used to it, but who knows.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: Arkhan on April 17, 2011, 11:05:54 PM
one thing I noticed is certain games have certain 3D slider sweet spots where the blurring doesnt happen as much.

Post by: hizaygizirlz on April 18, 2011, 12:38:31 PM
I know it is a gimmick that would wear thin quickly, but those card games that come w/ the system are amazing in terms of showing off what the system is capable of.
I set it up on the counter at work and you could see the 3D image in front of the keyboard and other stuff that was on the counter, it was pretty neat.

Yeah, but they had crap like that with webcams and advertising years ago. I remember having one where you print the piece of paper and hold it up and trees and shit pop up off the paper and dance around.

I have never seen what you are talking about and I am totally impressed. It seems like a wonderful drug trip w/out the threat of being fired.
On a serious note if anyone is looking to pick up some games.
Two for $50, Street Fighter and Steel Diver aren't on there, but I returned my Ghost Recon to best buy and picked it up on amazon along w/ Ridge Racer.
Including the $25 promotion for buying the system i have paid about $22 per game for the 3 games I own.

Don't have my friend code handy, so hopefully the thread gets bumped to remind me. Currently I own SSFIV, Pilotwings, Ridge Racer, Dream Trigger, Zelda, and Dead or Alive. I have really enjoyed the system so far, and it just keeps getting better.

Post by: TheClash603 on July 03, 2011, 05:37:21 PM
Let's just hope the Smash Brothers double offering (probably 2 years away) is as awesome as I think it will be. It will be the reason to own the system, if it is as good as the prior 2 games.
However, they should give up on remaking these N64 games, and stick to originals. I hope Kid Icarus outsells Ocarina (it won't), so that Nintendo stops with the remakes.
...now a direct sequel to Mario Sunshine on the other hand would be pretty sweet. They are doing a Luigi's Mansion, so I can dream.

I got a 3DS and I only have 3 games for it so far and they are Super Street Fighter IV, Zelda: OoT 3D, and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. I like all 3 games so far. Zelda looks beautiful and I'm really digging the 3D. I'm almost done with the game just have to beat the Spirit Temple. Since I loved Mercenaries in Resident Evil 4 and 5, getting Mercenaries 3D was a no brainer. I'm having a lot of fun with Mercenaries, but have yet to play online where Mercenaries shines.

Agreed. I am not a fan of this series at all, but I think Capcom handled themselves really poorly on this one. You shouldn't build something up for a big release and then pull the plug without a decent explanation. At the very least you should be polite about it. Capcom couldn't even manage that.
Kinda reminds me of the Operation Rainfall thing, actually....

Because the library is still tiny with not much coming of note until the holidays (at least none I've seen). IMO they should have waited until closer to the holidays to launch...be better prepared.

I hope it does get better but things look bad
Yeah, what good original games are coming out anytime soon? The only ones off the top of my head are Kid Icarus and Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright. Everything else I've seen either is a port or doesn't look that interesting. Compare this to the Virtual Boy. 14 games in the US, and only 1 of them was a port. And stuff like Virtual Boy Wario Land, Red Alarm, and Vertical Force were really strong titles. I haven't seen any original 3DS games near the quality of those three titles.

See, for me, I can't even begin to understand the mobile phone market. I guess for one, I don't have a "smart" phone, plus, if I did, I wouldn't want it to be some kind of primary game device. I don't want to buy a bunch of games, & bring my device with me to work, etc. & get it absolutely trashed!
I'm very careful with my PSP & DS, I'm selective of where & when I take them with, as I don't want them to get damaged. Plus, I want to be able to play my games forever. On a phone, who knows when they'll stop offering *insert game name here* & there's no way to ever get it again. I have a few games on one of my old phones, & those games are no longer offered. Once they're gone, they're gone & that's it. I have no hope of playing those games ever again. Like Bonk's Return(not that it was a great game), it's gone, & that's it.
But, onto the most important part, I want a friggin' controller! I don't want some stupid touch pad that tries to emulate controls on the screen, I want an actual d-pad &/or analog stick, & I want actual buttons, that are nice & comfortable! The closest thing I can think of phonewise that would do this, is that Playstation phone, but, I have no desire for it, as I already have a PS1, not to mention I can just rip my games onto my PSP.
So, in short, I'm quite baffled that the mobile phone game market is taking off as much as it seems to be. I can see it for maybe cheap lil' games like crossword puzzles & Angry Birds or whatever, but....I don't want to play the latest Mario, Sly Cooper, Red Faction, Uncharted, Jak & Daxter, Final Fantasy, etc.....on a friggin' phone. And I wouldn't be happy with an external controller to connect to a phone either, I want to actually hold the device in my hand, rather then looking at it propped on a table.

I love playing my GB/GBC/GBA games through the Gamecube. The games look sooo much better and I can actually see what's going on. I love being able to play on the go, but if it was up to me, every mobile device would be able to output to a TV when you want to play at home.

I totally agree with ParanoiaDragon. I know that the big bucks are in casual games these days but saying that Android & iOS titles are competing with Sony & Nintendo titles is kinda like saying that big budget FPSes and WRPGs on the PC are competing with crapy online flash games. On some level they are, but I don't believe their audiences overlap very much.

Yep, games that are downloadable on WiiWare or the DSIstore compete with games on IOS or Android. Retail released 3DS and Vita games are created on an entirely different scale right now, than downloadable games for smart phones.
Are they competition, sure. But it's not exactly the same target audience for their core business. It's like asking if smart phones compete with PCs, in theory they do. They can offer many of the some functions as a PC. But two different core markets and different design goals.

WEAK!!! They are probably afraid no one will need the PS3 if the Vita can output to a TV.
The 3DS is available at Walmart for $169.99 now, and you are still an ambassador if you get it before the 12th. Awesome deal if you ask me, especially with the Christmas season coming up.
I am honestly thinking of getting a blue one now too...

When did any of their handhelds?
Super Mario Land came out when the original Game Boy did, not a bad game, but no Killer App. Yes, the Game Boy came with Tetris but Tetris had been out on PCs and NES by that point. Not new either. But by no means a powerhouse. The Game Boy Color had practically little to offer at launch but colorized versions of GB games. The GBA didn't have much but remakes at its start (Super Mario Advance aka Mario 2 USA for example). And the original DS's brightest early window game was a remake of Mario 64. Don't even get me started on the Virtual Boy.
Nintendo has never launched handhelds with brand new killer apps.

umm, you ever heard of a little thing called Tetris?
I mentioned Tetris in the previous post. "Yes, the Game Boy came with Tetris but Tetris had been out on PCs and NES by that point."
It wasn't a new game by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't think a game necessarily has to be completely new to be a killer ap. Tetris lent itself extremely well to a portable system, and the fact that you could go head to head, unlike the standard NES version, made it a social thing where kids would be able to play against each other at recess or whatever.

yeah but its still a frigging redo. I can play Twinbee on the PCE. I want new games. lol.
they should make a law: NO REMAKING GAMES

I agree with stop making remakes, I can see making Star Fox 64 3D but you should have released it with a NEW Star Fox game.
OoT I understand remaking cause its 25 year Zeldas been out. And they did include the Master quest and a Boss Battle. But in the end it all come down to the game developers not having thegames ready at launch.
Still looking forward to New Mario, Mario Kart, Res Evil, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Luigis Manson 2, Paper Mario, Metal Gear Solid, Also Smash Bros. Games are coming just hope I have the money to pick everything up.

I would've bought it on the Wii, but, I want a physical copy of the damn game! The other is Final Fantasy VII Before Crisis, (which may or may not be made for the 3DS) which is a remake of a japanese only cell phone game.

if KI sucks, the 3DS will be thrown against a wall.
Wait until they push the update that lets you record 3D video. Then you can record it being thrown against the wall in 3D...assuming the SD card can be pulled from the wreckage.

KI always equals Killer Instinct to me... and although you prefaced KI by naming Kid Icarus, it still made me think about how rad a 3DS Killer Instinct would be.
I think Kid Icarus is taking longer than expected because early playable builds made people say "meh," so they had a lotta retinkering to do.

I agree and I also think Nintendo is losing their touch and becoming senile.

nano assault looks real cool. and its the only shmup on the console. I got my 3DS a few weeks ago and haven't played it to much yet. I got the zelda bundle, but im currently playing skyward sword so yeah not gunna play OoT at the same time. I should be getting mario kart for xmas, and i hear the online is great, and no snaking, so i will play the hell out of that. As for smash bros, if it has good online play i will play it.

The thing that has done the best so far is a remake. The only game I'd buy right now, is a remake.
It aint right!
I feel like that is all Nintendo has been doing for the last 10 years is reskinning shit and selling it.

You can't sit there and say all Nintendo does is reskin shit for the last 10 years. Give me another Zelda game then another COD game. Every game company rides the money makers for there sytems. The only difference is Nintendos been around since the 80s. So when they make another Zelda game people are like ANOTHER ZELDA GAME CMON NINTENDO GIVE U SOMETHING NEW. Then they go back to Playing another Final Fantasy or COD game. You can't sit there and say Ninendo Reskins shit and not call Out Halo, or God of War, Res Evil etc.

Melee and Brawl are basically the same game.
Metroid Prime should have stopped at 1.
The Zelda games stopped being good after LttP. They all play the same, and that is fine. The problem is, they suck.
whats left is all their constant rediddlings of Mario Kart/Mario/Mario Party/crap
It's unfair to say we can't say these things because every COD is the same too, considering this is a thread about the 3DS, and Nintendo.

Bonk 1, 2, and 3 are all basically the same, and I love them.
Hell, one of my favorite things to do is watch straight to video slasher movies from the 1980s... talk about the same.
I don't care if something is very similar to its predecessor, as long as it is good.
Regarding the 3DS, I can't wait until the Circle Pad Pro comes out. My hands are too big for that thing, I love the original fat DS, and this add-on looks like an awesome fix.

Wow completely missed that lol. Are they all pretty good?
First person dungeon crawlers...old school difficulty (not impossible, but not cake walks), STELLAR music. Honestly some of my fave games for the system.

I tried to get into the Etrian Odyssey games, but, as old school as I am, they just didn't do it for me, so I sold em' off. So far, the only games that interest me for 3DS to this day, are Super Mario 3D Land & Cave Story. So, I haven't had a real strong reason to buy one yet. I'm waiting to see if they eventualy make one with a built in 2nd analog stick, so that I don't have to buy an extra accessory. :P

Cave Story 3DS is awesome, A game i highly recommend picking up along with Super Mario 3D. Mario seems short but its not by a long shot.
I have the Circle Pad Pro and it does feel much better in my hands (Not as cramped) I will be the 1st 1 to admit smaller is not always better with hand helds. but for $20 its not a terrible add on.

Yes this is true, Also blocks the stylus ports. Not really that big of a deal breaker tho.

Picked up a 3DS xl recently. I have Layton, Shinobi, and SF4. Have you guys had any luck with streetpass? I've been carrying mine around with me and I've only gotten 2 tags, and those were at used video game stores.

Post by: TheClash603 on January 14, 2013, 05:57:42 AM
Usually if I go to the mall I will get about 5 passes, 2-3 from the stores and 2-3 from people.
I go to the Fan Expo in Toronto in August. There I had over 200 street passes.

It's hit or miss for me. Usually miss. Like you said: every time I go to a game store I get one. But beyond that, it's few and far between. But I do get a street pass every day...from my son who has a 3DSXL.
Title: Re: The 3DS!
Post by: futureman2000 on January 14, 2013, 07:59:31 AM
I struck out on my last 3 trips to game stores- I'll have to try the mall. Then again, going to the mall just to try to get street-passes might not be something that I'm ready to do.

ah I not had the chance to take mine out for street pass stuff.. hopefully when AC.Jump out comes out I will have more time to take it out and play. Right now I love the 3DS XL but I find it a little too big to take out and play on public transport. Mostly catching up with DS games like DQ IX

What is the point of street pass? Don't really get it but maybe that is because I rarely get them.

I use street pass a lot ots fun when you pass someone playing Mario 2 and you got a new coin rush to beat.

Gunman Clive for $1.99 is a killer eShop value, awesome platformer but with the ability to shoot is really cool. The mine cart level is on par with Donkey Kong Country (although a little more simple).
