Its a hybrid. But you can use it entirely as a handheld if you want, therefore you could argue that it is just a handheld that cconnects to a TV. It certainly meets the criteria of being a handheld, just one that docks.

Now if only time would speed up so I can get one :@

Yes it matters. If people buy the BS that this is home console gaming that you can also take with you on the go its going to sell a hell of a lot better than if people see it for what it really is, an overpriced portable that can plug into your tv like a bunch of handhelds before it.

Never seen a handheld with splitscreen multiplayer before, let alone a handheld with a lot of local multiplayer games on one unit

deafdani3419d ago

That doesn't stop it from being a handheld by the pure definition of the term: you can hold it in your hands and play it on the go.

Doesn't matter because it's a rip off.

Doesn't matter. It plays games either way.

It's both, with the home side being first and foremost due to the games it plays, the capability being higher when docked, the fact that it's replacing Wii U while 3DS is still getting support, and Nintendo's own treatment of it through advertisement.
And I'm fine with that, because it'll suit my lifestyle. When I go out mall trips, it'll come with me, but most of its time will be spent in the dock, where its best capabilities are drawn out.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle37d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
