I wouldn't say it was horrible. It was just boring and tedious too often. Hopefully 4 will recapture the greatness of 2.
The PS3 certainly is no supercomputer, but it was quite a powerful console when it came out, and it still holds up well today. But today's high end PC's (which are also not supercomputers) trounce the PS3.
But anyway, I'm eager to see what Sony reveals about PS4 later this month.
I enjoyed this on the 3DS, and I'll likely get it again on PS3 when it drops in price ($50 is too steep imo), but I think Capcom should port this to Vita, even if it's just a basic HD remaster. I know the Vita base is small, and therefore less viable (the real reason Capcom isn't porting it to Vita), but Vita owners are starving for good shooters, so this would likely sell well on Vita relatively speaking.
In all fairness, online gaming was a fad with the non-PC gaming crowd back in 2004. I think Nintendo just took a "wait and see" approach with console online gaming, and now they've learned its viable, so they now have the 3DS and Wii U eShops and Nintendo network, which are all good, even if they could use some improvements like any online service.
Don't be so sure. Sony hasn't successfully tapped into the crucial casual market like Nintendo and Microsoft have. So unless they have something amazing up there sleeves, I see Sony struggling next gen. I know that type of talk is unpopular on this site. I like Sony and don't want to see them struggle, but that's just the way I see it.
I read the article, and I still think your Xbox 720 price of $199 is ludicrous (subscription or not). It just won't happen. If there is a cheaper, basic model, it will be no less than $299.
That was a one-of-a-kind moment in gaming for sure. I'm glad I got to experience that transition as a kid.
I'm confused. How is this article Anti-Sony??? It's just a paragraph that says Sony is discontinuing production of the PS2 in Japan. Seriously, your comment hurt my brain.
Well, not really the Wii. The failure rate on that is quite low.
I'm pretty sure the PS3 and 360 versions don't allow that type of multiplayer experience because their controllers don't have built-in screens.

No, he's not delusional. He's just stating a fact. I also own both the Wii U and a PS3, and between the two, the Wii U offers a superior online experience, and it's only going to get better.
Mika, you clearly hate Nintendo, so why do you comment in so many Nintendo-related articles? What is to be gained? I'm personally not a fan of Microsoft or the 360, but I don't post negative comments in 360-related articles, or even click the links for that matter. I just avoid what I don't like. Why don't you and others like you just do the same?
If you're suggesting that a game machine can't be successful if it's in stock at stores, then by that logic, every console and handheld on the market is unsuccessful since I can find all of them in pretty much any store I go to that sells them.
@Ulf
I was referring to the launch day, and roughly the first week after for that matter. I'm aware the Wii U is readily available now, but it's now more than a month after the launch.
@People who disagreed
Did you guys disagree because you think that what I said is factually incorrect, or did you disagree because I pointed out something that makes Nintendo (and not Sony) look good?
The Wii U sold out at launch also. If you didn't pre-order, you pretty much didn't get one on launch day.
A Super Nintendo style Mega Man game would be appreciated.
Ha, I got a nice laugh out of your comment. That dude is pretty annoying.
I'd have to say that's my main gripe with the Vita. Also, I think in the near future, Sony should just sell the Vita with a built-in hard-drive as a standard. I'm thinking maybe like 20 gigs or so, with the option to expand of course.
3DS game prices should definitely come down. I can kind of understand the $40 price point for top-of-the-line Vita games because it's a powerful HD portable with higher than usual development costs. But I can't imagine 3DS games cost as much to develop as Vita games in general.
It doesn't take 16 seconds, but it does take longer than it should. I'll have to see if the update improves that issue.
