Why would you soup up your system to increase productions costs and retail price in order to alienate a customer base that doesn't value earth shattering graphics?

It's horrible business accumen.

Again thats true but its me just being fussy I guess.

An expensive touchscreen nobody can translate the acronym of isin't going to shatter the endlessly innovative world of Killzone and LittleBigPlanet spin offs.

Well you do have to hold it quite still, but it's much the same as any other hand-held, if you hold it awkwardly you won't get the full effect of the graphics or display and in this case it's the 3D effect. The 3D is awesome actually, it's better than I thought it would be, especially with the adjuster because if it's a bit too much for you then you can either switch it off or just lower the intensity according to your preference.

I didn't think it would add much to the game and thought it would be a bit gimmicky myself but now I've played it with and without the 3D on the same game, the 3D just makes it a much more fun experience. I guess it all boils down to what you want from the hand-held, I used to have a PSP because I was more interested in the game play and graphic aspect, but I sold it a couple of months after because I had my xbox which for obvious reasons is much more powerful and better on both counts than a hand-held. So I guess the DS is just a bit more 'fun' and light hearted for me and the 3D only adds to that

Hmm I'm starting to change my mind now. I think ima check one of these things out in person, then I'll decide for sure.

[arista]

Yes I bought one
in AsdaWalmart for £175

And 2 Adult games for just £60.

Its a Great Small Machine

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


Feel The Force.

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
Rune Factory 4 !!!
Starfox 3D

and with the HUGE price drop its defiantly worth it, even if theres not many games out yet- there will be!

[Callum]

I hate that they lowered the price so much after I bought it on the first day of release. It's flopped though really, bet Nintendo never saw that one coming.

i know :/ but some places you can get a refund, or you can get the 20 free games or w/e.
Its flopped so far ( minus ssf4 and loz oot ) but its looking good in the near future

[Mystic Mock]

Im looking forward to.

Mario & Sonic at the 2012 Olympic games
An untitled Sonic game
Sonic Generations

I also want Resident Evil Revelations.

[Tom4784]

The PSP and original DS had slow sales at first if I remember, I think things will balance out eventually.
