Nintendo 3DS! Nintendo 3DS!

[petik1]

If there's another topic about this, then delete this, but who's excited about the new 3DS??? It has an awesome line up of games like Starfox 64 3D, Ocarina of Time 3D, PilotWings Resort, a new paper mario game, a new mario kart, and a new animal crossing game! I'm about to sh*t my pants!

EDIT: Kid Icarus: Uprising too! Holy crap!

[nintendodork]

Me too! When I first saw the tech demo, I was really amazed. I was pretty skeptical, thinking it would be maybe a more detailed DS, but it's really like you're peering down into the screen!  The control stick was a nice addition too. The DS needed one of those since the start.  The games look awesome too. My favorites so far are Kid Icarus: Uprising and OoT 64 3D.

Isometric, that is...

Too bad the new pokemon  games won't use the 3DS's ability, they're for the DS. Thankfully, there's backwards compatibility.
Paper Mario is my favorite game, it's probably one of the first games I ever played, so I can't wait to see it

Yeah, Paper Mario should look really cool -- lots of 2D layers with a real depth between them.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be like the Virtual Boy...

The 3DS has zero VB potential. 

It's not cumbersome to use like the VB and numerous hands-on reports say that the 3D effect works great as long as you have the screen held at the proper angle (which may be an issue with longer gaming sessions -- too soon to tell).  You can also adjust or turn off the 3D effects if you don't like them. 

Plus, on top of the 3D feature, it also has motion-detectors and a gyroscope.  This thing is multi-gimmick!

And everyone can make all the "dumb gimmick" arguments they want, but, at its absolute worst, the 3DS is a more powerful DSi (GC/Wii level graphics) with a larger top screen and an analog controller.  It's a DS with practical upgrades.  As long as there's good games for it (and the lineup so far looks amazing if you like known IPs), there's really no rational scenario where this thing bombs like the VB.

[petik1]

Either way, both consoles look wicked as shit. And as soon as I heard wii graphics i was all then is was like . Even though the wii is the least powerful of the consoles, it's still fascinating that they can have the same type graphics on a portable

EDIT: Someone needs to make a mod where the virtual boy shoots red lasers!

[mobiusclimber]

Please don't bring up the Virtual Boy. I want to hurt Nintendo so badly for fucking that up and for their treatment of Gunpei Yokoi over that shit. He pretty much told em they should either wait and do the VB the right way (in color) or not do it at all and they told him fuck it, go w/ the red and black since it's cheap! Whose fault was that, then?

Really, I need to not think about it or I get pissed off. Yokoi was a genius.

[nensondubois]

The virtual Boy was great. The 3DSi will do well too, even thought it was rushed into market.

Is the 3DS the same size as the DSi XL? I hope that 3D can be turn on and off plus not to many gimmicks because I want to play alot of games by just using the analog stick, d-pad and buttons. 

Mario 64 DS might be alot easier to control on the 3DS. I wonder if Ocarina of Time will be a remake or a straight port.

I hope that 3D can be turn on and off

They made an analog slider that does that, just for you.  

Is the 3DS the same size as the DSi XL?

I doubt it, probably a little bigger than the DSi

Mario 64 DS might be alot easier to control on the 3DS. I wonder if Ocarina of Time will be a remake or a straight port.  

I hope that you can use the analog stick for older DS games instead of the D pad   And Ocarina, graphically is remade, but they probably left the overall gameplay alone with a few tweaks.

What about the possibility of a new Earthbound?

If a new Earthbound is on the way, then that's a strange way of announcing it  
Don't get your hopes up, don't expect anything, but hope for the best.
It kills me that they haven't released a price or date yet. GRRRRRR it's eating at my soul! Until then, I'll just dust off my good ol' N64 to play starfox and Paper Mario.

Wait, Nintendodork, you were there? Please tell me you stole one of the prototypes and brought the lady with it  
Also, press shots show purple and orange 3DS's, while both NA and JP nintendo sites only have red, black, and blue. I want the orange one!

[nintendodork]

Who said I was there?    No, I've mostly been watching ClassicGameRoom's E3 coverage and a few other videos.  (Can't find a specific video about just the 3DS right now).  And yeah, I saw a few videos where there were just women standing there holding the 3DSes instead of just a plastic table or something.  Talk about awkward. You'd be standing there less than a foot away from someone just watching you play the thing, and then just put it back in their hands when you're done.
It gives objectifying women a whole new meaning!
