the 3ds launch price was robbery

With the lower price now and some quality 1st party titles they can save the 3DS. I think when they had to slash the price shortly after debut and cut salaries, that Nintendo is finally realizing they have to got get back to delivering amazing franchises on normal basis and cut the gimmicky shenanigans. A Zelda every 5 years just isn't going to cut it anymore ;)

With that said, I look forward to the Wii U and what it will launch with. I would love to see Killer Instinct and Pilotwings =)

you kinda need to have everything that your attempting to surpass has.

(two analog sticks)

I don't know.... But i think the ball is in Sonys court with vita right now..

Nintendo really messed up this time around.

The 3DS is a total Dizasta

They need to learn NOT to take a huge, honkin' dump all over their most loyal of fans.

We all knew the next gen handheld console was going to need dual analog sticks, the fact that Nintendo didn't include it in the 3DS launch design is shocking imho.

Plus the 3DS being overpriced and having a poor launch line up didn't help.

• Give the dev kits out about 4 years ago

• Get some exclusive games for it.

• Put a 2nd analog on it along with L2 & R2 buttons. Not sure if the 2nd analog would be on the side (like the WiiU's or just at the bottom right)

• Have the Start/Select button the same as it was on the DS (phat). Move the power button somewhere else (due to the 2nd analog if i would to have put it there) & keep the home button the same.

• Check in with the pubs/devs to see if they are having any trouble with it.

• Suggest that they should put in a 3D option (like excite bike has)

• Suggest to them they can make a retail game or just a digital download game on the E-shop

• Do the whole E3 bit, showing both 1st parties & 3rd party games

• I would NOT call it the Nintendo 3DS, It would be either The Nintendo 3D or Gameboy 3D

• Price would be about $150-$200. (I would see how well the DSXL sold, since that is $180, and then see if it should be $189.99 or lower.)

• Colors would be, Blue, Red, Black, & Retro (grey color with a Black D-pad & analog with red buttons, ect)

• Make it Region free

• Make a Nintendo account, so all of your stuff could be stored onto that (if possible)

• Make it playable outside/ with sun light

• Street Pass & all of the jazz still there.

• Have Apps, like Netflix, Browser, Youtube, Facebook, ect.

• Have all features at launch

• Since there would be a YouTube app, there would be no need for flash support

• Better internet browser. (the current one can't even load gifs)

• When you do a system transfer from DSi to N3D, your shop points would also transfer.

• 3rd parties could have free stuff on the shop too.

• I would have launched this in late November for holiday sales. Preferably, a worldwide release date

• If we counted the games out now or coming soon, I would have held back SF64 & SML3D, and put forth OoT 3D & Mario Kart 7 as launch titles, and do a bundle of a special Nintendo 3D with Mario Kart that would be a checkered N3D or something, & and OoT with a Green N3D for like $250.

• E-shop would have sales like steam, and if you bought it within the 1st week, you would get 3D Classics: Super Mario Bros for free.

• E-shop would be rounded to the nearest dollar (personal pref)

• Instead of sending friends codes, you could invite someone to be your friend, thus only needing to input one FC, and they would be added to all of your games (providing they also have the game) for online friend battles or whatever.
