yeah, thats why the ds and psp combined to sell the most hardware this gen
why would it be the last? can anyone honestly say nintendo wont put out another handheld after the 3ds is wiping the floor with everything else?
And for the record ios and android and tablets arent replacing anything. Its apples and oranges A completely seperate market.
The 3ds is doing better in its first 9 months than any other system in history.
That isnt a typo. No other system is doing better
So if ios is replacing it. W...
yeah because all series arent milked right?
COD gets a pass right? elder scrolls gets a pass for being the same exact game every time right?
such bias
when the ds launched gamefreak made 2 games for the gba.
Nobody cared, now all of a sudden the fanboys without game history knoweldge come up from the woodwork
Sorry but rpgs have never been the dominant force, ever
And fyi, pokemon black white has sold more on a single system than any rpg has this gen
A good old sprite based turn based game
Japanese rpgs are stil the biggest force in rpgs. By far. It isnt even close
"The most hyped and substantial release of the year so far has been Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning,"
I think not
final fantasy 13-...
your absolutely right kaos
the series doesnt need saving
The ds didnt have an rpg pokemon entry until 2007. 3 years after launch
Trolls and fanboys would have you believe the 3ds should have one immediately but thats not the way it works
even with the ds out the gba received emerald, and drill dozer
Emerald was an enhanced port
a lame ass port
this time its a brand new sequel.
The franchise needs no saving
15 million sales of pokemon black and white breaks all that bad logic
And besides the ridiculous article I see alot of ridiculous statements
Pokemon only sells to kids?
Is that why the main target dem for black white was 14-17?
3d models? EW, too generic and lazy
sprites is a better art style, which is whhy the games sell the way they do
This article is pretty bad
seems kinda lame backgrounds are generic but characters dont seem to be
the 3ds is better than the people on n4g are too insecure to believe
yeah fire emblem is sure for 10 year olds..........
Id also like to see a 10 year old get through mario galaxy or dk returns, or really 90 percent of the stuff they do
refreshingly true article
When the 3ds is outpacing the ds, the psx, the snes, the gba, the original gameboy the ps2, the psp and hell basically all the top systems in history
saying ios is eating its market comes off as slightly ridiculous
most of these articles only bring up the record breaking in japan
Thats 1 part of it
US
ds first year sales - 2.7 million
3ds first year sales ( the fiscal...
and really with kid icarus, fire emblem, kigndom hearts coming before the end of next month its going to get alot better for nintendo.
nintendo said the 3ds will be profitable early this year.
So really even that isnt a problem
but now he kinda is making trash
At least in japan you can stay in the gold
Look at flight plan. They were amazing, They went bankrupt, now they are a brand new company, apollosoft, and there first 2 titles have been very well received. They didnt have to make mobile games
of course it isnt.
Not with the 3ds outselling everything
that basically is what he said.
There are many curses of this gen
I was really thinking about ash archiac and the blue dragon trilogy
1) 2 rpgs doesnt mean its the best system
Come on
2) Accessibility is the curse of this gen
no offense but praise from ign means basically nothing these days..........
greatest anything of the gen is just opinion
xenoblade is wonderful though and the wii certainly has nice rpgs, beyond the 3 people only want to talk about
yeah thats why I can play mario, resident evil, fire emblem, layton 5, rocket slime, kingdom hearts, etrian oddessy,ect
all on the same system
