Nintendo 3DS & 3DSXL General Discussion

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Well, as long as the content of the games aren't dumbed down versions of their console elders... then I'll be fine with the prices.

I don't think there'll be a new color this year. I'd rather have had orange. That purple one from E3 was pimp.

Maybe I'll wait til early 2012 then? There's enough to keep me busy with the consoles I do own right now this year. I really want that burnt orange to come out.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Finally a new fighting DOA game!

don't be so sure yet...

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Well... it is. There are videos of it.

But I'm not sure... it looks like a dumbed down DOA4... but we'll see.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

It's pretty hard to be a dumbed down DOA4.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

That looks pretty awesome... but no rush to get one. I hardly play the game systems I have now

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Looking at the launch list, I think the only game I'll be getting with my 3DS on day one is Super Street Fighter IV 3D. Wish those 1st party Nintendo titles would make it first day instead of June/July.

I wonder if Nintendo is holding back a bit to let the 3rd party publishers have their day. 3rd party publishers don't exactly thrive on Nintendo hardware, maybe this is Nintendo's way of giving 'em a boost. Though, I think they've done fine on Nintendo's handhelds, so I dunno...

Re: Nintendo 3DS

That sounds like a good theory. Nintendogs + cats will probably be the best selling 3DS launch game nonetheless.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Looks like publications and gaming websites are getting their 3DS press units now. In 9 days the 3DS hits retail in Japan. I'm pretty excited to see impressions and first reviews of the games.

Games Digital have some unboxing pics of the press unit (final retail 3DS and packaging may differ):

I pre-ordered a black one, but after seeing these pics I'm really thinking of changing it to a blue one, it looks so nice.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Lol, I pre-ordered blue but my wife asked me to change it to black since we have a blue DSlite, but the blue doesn't look too bad in the pics

Some good quality In-Hand Pics of the 3DS, Very Nice.
Blue doesn't seem like such a bad color anymore

Re: Nintendo 3DS

I never really liked how the 3DS' color scheme is split into 3 tonalities. It's not bad on the black 3DS, but I thought the blue one's bottom plate was too bright. Biggest reason why I went with the black.

 

[devastator's balls]

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Yea saw that too at the store, if the blue was more consistant I would have vetoed her request. Do you know if they are offering different colors at Japan's release? All U.S has is blue and black if I'm not mistaken.

 

[plasmid303]

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Pretty sure Japan is also getting the blue and black for launch.

 

[devastator's balls]

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Ahh k, I thought they might have additional colors at launch. But damn that's just around the corner, we shall have this in our hands soon

 

[plasmid303]

Re: Nintendo 3DS

A little over a month, the anticipation is growing. No official list of launch games for the U.S. yet though.

 

[devastator's balls]

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Forreal! Especially now with the pics u posted up above can't wait for more hands on coverage! Yea I'm really not sure what I'd wanna pick up at launch. Just like u, I'm thinking only ssf4, but I barely play the console version anymore. So I dunno, anything else noteworthy? (haven't been keeping up )

I decided I want one, but the launch games (or lack of) are really keeping me from pre-ordering on Amazon. I'd hate to buy a 3DS and not have anything cool to play. I'm not the biggest Street Fighter fan anymore so I can't see that being the only game to play right away.

That's not a good thing IMO.
