Nintendo 3DS
 

Anyone have it? Is it good? I wasn't a fan of the whole concept of it, but I was thinking of buying it solely on the fact that there are some beast games for it.

Who cares if it does 3D? Get it because it's a Nintendo handheld and you can hardly go wrong with that. Anyone giving it crap because of the 3D gimmick fails to realize that it's way more powerful than the DS, and even without the 3D feature it would have been a worthy successor. It's all about the games, don't get it unless you see a game you want on it.

I agree with Dusty. The 3D does add a nice touch to the games, but does not change gameplay. (OoT3d looks amazing with 3D visuals, fyi)

Honestly, I would wait to get one until after Nintendo's conference next week...i'm waiting to see if they are coming out with a redesigned model, or just adding the circle pad peripheral for games. And if they are adding a peripheral, is it just for Monster Hunter 3G or are we expected to buy it for use in multiple games....If they come out with a remodel, I will be upset...I'll be upset if the slider peripheral is used for more than Monster Hunter as well.

I don't really want to pay for Nintendo's design mistakes. (Which is what this would be)
I think the 3DS is an amazing machine anyways, and doesn't really need a second slider pad, but...w/e.

Nintendo needs a new console

this 3d is fake 3d. The 3d is all blury and hurts your eyes if you put the 3d mode all the way up. if you look at the screen and focus at something else, you will have blurry vision for 30 seconds. i dont recomend it. It has a lack of quality on 3D and may damage your eyes. by the way, It has hd quality on 2d mode

It's not fake 3D. I was able to use the 3D absolutely fine, however it was a bit stressing on the eyes.

I will get one when the price drops again.

gimmick but prob still a solid library of games

Imma get it proboly when the price goes down again.

^ Simplified yet effective.

I dont have it but i played on one and it actully is 3D.

I would, but my dad is cheap :(

400x200 pixels isn't hd...


oh anyways about the system
My little brother bought one and several games, and I tried them. I had to say they were severely disappointing. For a 2011 system costing $250 and has a sole purpose of games, its graphics are terrible. my 4th generation iPod touch has better graphics and it is much smaller, cheaper, games are cheap and much more fun, and does much more than games.

As for the gameplay, the current games don't seem to offer much of it, and are more arcadeish(most early games on nintendo systems are this way).

The "eshop" contains overpriced apps and games that hardly have any content. A bunch of simple clocks with skins cost $2. very basic games like bricks cost $5. simple 2d platformers cost $10+.

my advice would be not to get one unless you are a huge nintendo games fan, because nintendo refuses to make games for any platforms except their own.

No ****ing ****? Do you see SCEA making games for the Nintendo?
