This seems quite interesting actually, what kind of games are we looking at?

Resident Evil: Mercenaries
Resident Evil: Revelations
Super Street Fighter 4 3D
Dead or Alive Dimensions
Kingdom hearts 3D
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Times 3D
Starfox 3D
Pilotwings
Kid Icarus
Paper Mario
Saints Row: Driveby
Professor Layton: Mask of Miracle
Professer Layton Vs Phoenix Wright
Pro Evolution
Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater
A Shin Megami Tensei game
A Final Fantasy game
An Assasin's Creed title
Some Tom Clancy games

Plus a lot more. There'd a load of titles been announced and only a few seem to be aimed at the casual market. It's attracted a lot of 3rd party party developers though.

Oh good, yeah I see what you mean about the games, there's a wider range there than what the DS has had in the past. Good to see a Saints Row game on there, always a bit wary of how well a sandbox game can work on a hand held console though

News to me.

[fruit_cake]

I don't even know what it is

[Callum]

Getting this at midnight on the 24th for my birthday, trading in my DSi and Super Mario Bros game to get it for under half price. Read loads of positive reviews about it so can't wait to actually try it out now.

[Stu]

Not interested in the slightest to be honest. I don't like any of Nintendo's core franchise property and gimmicks in games [like the motion gameplay craze that has 'revolutionised' games by making them worse] don't interest me at all. I still prefer good old fashioned games. I'd pick up a PSP2 over one but I'm not really interested in hand helds. I don't have much time for games these days so when I do play it's in bed and on a nice big telly.

[KG.]

Has anybody got this then? And what are your views on it if you have?

I'm really tempted to get one, never even played on a DS before I don't think, but I'm so tempted to buy this, just not too sure atm.

I got one on Friday, I really love it. The 3D effect is so cool, it's not overdone neither, like really in your face but you can tell it's in 3D and it looks so much better than just 2D. You can take photos in 3D too which will be really handy when going abroad. I've only got 2 games for it so far, Rayman 3D and Nintendogs which was free. Both make great use of the 3D effect and Nintendogs is so cool when the dog comes up to the screen, it looks as if it's going to jump through. I would reccomend it though and if possible buy it soonish because I don't think the under Ł200 prices will stay around for much longer.

[KG.]

Ah cool cheers, do you or anyone else know where they're selling them for the cheapest? I know Argos is 220 but I could get my discount on that, but apparently 200 is still quite expensive compared to other places?

Well Tesco are doing a deal until Tuesday midnight that if you buy any 3DS game, you get the 3DS for Ł175. But if you just want the standalone console, they are selling it for Ł197. GAME are selling it for around the same price too. Amazon sell it for Ł187 which I think is the cheapest you'll find.

[KG.]

Got mine today plus Street Fighter for Ł185 thanks to Morrisons 15% discount day

I'm really impressed with it so far, although with the 3D turned on it does make your eyes go a bit funny after while so I have to keep having a break from it for a while or just turning it off, it's not as bad when you're actually playing the game though and the adjustment of it helps too, I'm just looking forward to more games coming out on it now because the ones atm are pretty crappy, Street Fighter is good fun but that's the only game for it I can imagine myself liking.

Are there any other games that anybody would recommend getting as I'm a DS virgin? I've already ordered Pokemon Black because I'm a big kid, and I'm probably going to buy the super mario game and brain training, but are there any other games that are enjoyable and don't get boring after a couple of days?

[Niall]

Looking forward to it? It just a DS with a 3D screen. Nothing more nothing less. And from what I've heard getting the 3D to work properly is a bit awkward because you have to hold the damn thing still to get the 'sweet spot' where the 3D is properly visible.

I'm much more excited about the Sony NGP though.

The original DS can run Snake Eater, can it?

Maybe not, but the graphics quality isn't that impressive. My phone could probably run that game. :/

Don't be riddiculous. Only high end phones could run that game and they would cost you as much as the 3DS anyway I imagine. The powerhorse argument is a meaningless one when you consider the DS has outsold the PS to a riddiculous degree. Saying it's the same thing as the DS when it has a new gimmick and an updated engine is crazy considering that's what most console and/or handheld upgrades are predicated on anyway.

What's an NGP? A slightly less powerful PS3 with a touchscreen? It will run largely the same games the PS3 will run only on the bus.

Picking sides or attacking the other system is dumb. They are both great. I have no interest in the 3DS either but different strokes ...

By the way on a side note I think graphics reached a threshold around the time of the PS2 where they now just don't interest me anymore. Playing really old games now you can see how they have dated and offered thinner experiences. But from about the PS2 on you could pretty much do anything within reason and all games from that era are still totally immersive and impressive. I wouldn't call the graphics crap at all. They are more than serviceable. Crysis 2 has the best graphics ever seen on a home console but it's boring as a biscuit and not a patch on something like Half Life which was released in 1998.

Games don't look like games anymore. They are trying too hard to be Hollywood and the imagination is draining from them as a result. That's why I love something still game-ish and silly like a Dead Rising 2.

Fair enough but I think its a bit naff. I just think the 3D thing is a gimmick. it don't interest me at all. I've had a DS Lite then I traded it in for DSi so the whole DS thing is just boring to me now. Adding a 3D screen isn't enough to interest me (I know that sounds incredibly dumb but thats how I feel).

I just think the NGP is the better system. It would be a better system for me anyways, I mean if they had CoD, Fallout or Bioshock on that thing at launch I'd buy one straight away.

Oh ok. Its just I've read on reviews that you have to hold it pretty still to get the full 3D effect. Is the 3D actually any good?

True but it would've been nice if Nintendo could make the graphics a bit nicer.

[arista]

Its a Great Small Machine

And what makes it Special
is a Double lens 3-D Camera.


Feel The Force.

[Tom4784]

I think the 3DS has great graphics from what I've seen so far. Check out the Resident Evil Revelations gameplay and see for yourself. It's not a bad start to say that developers haven't even begun to scratch the surface yet. I'm not too bothered about the 3D myself but it's the games I'm interested in, there's some potentiall very strong titles coming out over the next few months.

[KG.]

I just read that Ocarina of Time 3D will be released on the 3DS, one of my favourite games ever I'm even more happy I bought one now

[Tom4784]

Yeah, that's coming out in the next 2-3 months I think.

[rk3388]

Bump.
oh my gosh theres so many games for this im excited for...
Snake 3D
Luigis mansion 2
Kid Icarus
RE revelations
Mario Kart 7
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Heroes Of Ruin
Beyond The Labyrinth

Starfox 3D
