£350 maximum - good price for 5 years of entertainment, and the ability to play Nintendo's amazing games in HD.
The weirdest thing is that the 3DS is not mentioned in the article. It's just someone who hates the Wii because he bought games and didn't play them? What?
Does the Vita have an amazing 3D effect?
What about the highest rated game of all time?
What about two new Monster Hunter games?
What about Mario, Zelda, Pokemon?
What about Pushmo?
Look at the Move and the Wiimote.
Technically, the Move can do everything the Wiimote can do - even more in fact.
But because the Move isn't part of every console, nobody's making outstanding motion-controlled games like Skyward Sword for it.
The Wii U will be a similar thing. It has been designed for this purpose from the outset, and therefore every game will be able to make use of the extra screen.
With games like Rhythm Thief and Theatrythym coming to the 3DS, there'll be music games for some time yet.
You have to remember that Nintendo only ended up releasing these games because an outside company stepped in.
Xenoblade got the help from GameStop
Pandora's Tower got the help from xSeed
Nintendo are constantly evolving.
Just not in the way certain analysts would like.
It's strange how much the side view of the controller looks like the Wii nunchuck
The article itself is quite good, though obviously the title provokes.
They say the answer is No in the article.
The tech inside the iPad doesn't matter.
To play a decent game, you need buttons.
The reissued games on Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console all come with save restore included.
New IP that uses the 3D well?
Pushmo.
As long as the games continue to be good...
Knowing Nintendo they'll bundle the game with a special Pokemon edition 3DS anyway - best of all worlds.
Exactly. It's a $5 eShop title.
And I think that releasing it would have gained Nintendo very little, and possibly have caused a massive backlash - something they don't need with the 3DS first anniversary coming up and the current state of their finances.
Everyone's acting this is the first time Nintendo have done something like this with Pokemon - it isn't.
I don't follow the series, but I seem to remember a new Pokemon sequel being released for the GBA, despite the DS being out....
Here we go again....
The 3DS is cheaper, but at the moment, it also has better games.
Metacritic says that 3DS has 3 90%+ rated games while the Vita has none.
And the Vita's best game is Rayman Origins, which is coming to the 3DS next month.
The Pokemon decision was probably made back when the 3DS was selling poorly, before they reduced the price.
I remember them doing something a similar thing with previous Pokemon games too, when a new device was released. They like to keep each Pokemon gen on the same system.
I have that magazine. It basically says that there's no evidence that Nintendo will change the name.
