I think you should be horrified.

Here's their anatomy:

Brain: Devoid of any reason or critical thinking skills. Very ape like in size and shape

Ears: Their finely-turned ears can easily tune out facts and other opinions

Heart: There is no heart present. They run on sheer arrogance

Lungs: Nothing but hot air and critical negativity

Bowels: Filled to the top with Mountain Dew and Cheeto residue

Hands: Covered in smelling lotion.

They have no life too, did I mention?

that's because of the production values.
nintendo aren't actually making that much of a proffit from each handheld alone.

the suggested price was $250-$300 USD.

He can get what he wants, mate. Shut up and stop being such an overt fan. Plus, I didn't say everyone thought 3D was a gimmick.

What makes you believe this?
Have you seen the releases coming out? Paper Mario, LOZ: OOC, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Cave Story, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (3D get it lol), Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle.

I can't be certain on ones I've never played, but most of those are known for their stories, whether humorous or serious.

At least we have some back up. Septimus, and this smelly kid at my school who went to E3. (Who both enjoyed it)

Dudes. Total copies much. If a company wants to steal from Nintendo they shouldn't wait seven years to do it.
In what ways is it better? I mean, yay touchscreen. I had one seven years ago.

That's not why I want it.

There was so much potential when the original one was released. It just never got realized. I have owned both (comparing Origi DS to PSP 1000), and can tell you, both are great for what they offer. Sure, both has strengths and weaknessess, but the PSP was held back by sub-par games (not the experience, the games themselves) being released. I figure now the PSP has a chance at 'redemption', if you want to call it that.

They will both have tech upgrades in the end, and the PSP2/NGP sounds better to me. Also, I'm one of the non-believers of the 3D craze we are in now. I could really care less about the 3D. Making things 3D isn't an excuse to make a horrible game.

Fair enough. But about this next statement:

blazerv82 wrote:

I wouldn't be spending $250 on this if the games were horrible. Of all the announced games so far, I found maybe 15 that I wouldn't be willing to play in 2D.

Nintendo themselves have stated that they won't make any games that abuse 3D, and all will be equally accessible in 2D as well (source). Nintendo put a lot more thought into this than you might think.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

The thing is, actually, I really don't care about the 3D at all. In Japan there's already been reports that it hurts your eyes and you need to stay in one sweetspot to actually get the illusion of depth.

The only reason I MIGHT not be getting a 3DS is because I own a Game Boy Color. I don't care if those things are outdated--they're still the best!

Yes, but that's Nintendo stating they won't abuse it. What about other companies? Are they bound by Nintendo's promises? I doubt it.

Then again, looking at it it mentions that that all the games released on it will be playable. Guess it's just in how you interpret it.
