I think that the 3DS deserves its own thread, being the first new system out in awhile. Its American release date is coming up quickly, so feel free to discuss your thoughts on the system here!

Personally, I have mine pre-ordered at GameStop. I'll be getting the blue one and am still deciding which launch games to get with it. Probably Street Fighter IV and maybe one other one. I've been a huge fan of the DS since it first debuted, so I'm really looking forward to this new release!

I got to try the 3DS last week at a Best Buy, and played Pilotwings Resort. I never thought I'd say this, but the 3D feature is actually somewhat gimmicky. I don't think I'll be using that feature a whole lot when I get a unit. I won't be getting it at launch either, but after I've tried it, I think it can wait. I'll wait to get it until a game that interests me comes out for it, whether it be a 3DS game or even something from the Ninendo eShop.

I could have won a unit from one of my local radio stations today. They had a question for us to answer and I actually knew it. Even if I don't want any of the launch games, it would have been cool to snag a free unit, thus saving myself some money, and I'd have it ready for when a game I want does come out for it. I'd also like to get the aqua blue one myself.

I only recently got a DSi so I won't be picking this up for a while, if ever. As of right now there aren't enough titles that grab my interest and I think the whole schtick is a gimmick playground. I dunno. I'll defintely try one out in a store somewhere to get a better idea of its feel but even so, if I decide to get one it'll have to be a lot cheaper.

I might or might not get one the ds has go down hill over the last few years with its games. Plus most of the the games that are being released are just upgrades from the N64 and DS dont really feel like buying the same game just becuse it is in 3D.

i don't plan to get one at launch, but will likely look into it later once more games (and the new e-shop) come out. cause like someone said in another thread, only good lookin game so far is Super Street Fighter IV, which then kinda solidifies for me not to waste the money just yet.

I predict worst Nintendo launch ever. Not in terms of sales, but in terms of fulfillment of people who buy the thing.

Definitely not a buy for me. Maybe when Nintendo realizes they just made another Virtual Boy, I'll get it for the lulz.

I never buy consoles at launch, plus I'm still satisfied with my DS Lite (not to mention the fact that I still use it frequently for GBA games). I'll get a 3DS once I see something I need to have on it. The Virtual Handheld (my nickname for 3DS' Virtual Console service) is enticing, but it's not quite enough.

I've said many times, though, that the moment they announce any sort of Smash Bros. for it I'm going out that day and buying one.

Ninjinister

03-28-2011, 07:38 PM

I tried Pilotwings at a kiosk today. My eyes started hurting almost immediately. 3D wasn't all that impressive either. Thought it was just me, but my brother tried it immediately afterward and reported the same thing.

Not a worthwhile purchase for me. If some amazing games come out for it, I might get one and leave the switch to 2D, but as it stands, playing these in 3D may actually be hazardous to my health.

Candy Kappa

03-28-2011, 08:14 PM

I tried it yesterday, a friend of mine bought it on release (UK)

I got to test that scan card game, really fun. Same deal like the webcam cards that came with the Avatar action figures, only a game. The 3D was nice and not eye straining at all, but my eyes are durable and it was a limited time period. My friend however have made some rearks about the 3D strains his eyes after a couple of hours, but someone mentioned that you can adjust the 3D, turning it off on a timer (or something)

I'm definatly be getting one after I've finished my Finals, unless something else comes in the way.

To be honest, I may have gotten somewhat of a headache the first time I tried the 3DS with the 3D mode. I didn't use it all that often, but I do remember my head feeling a bit strange. It didn't become too heavy though, and it actually went away fast.

03-29-2011, 08:15 AM

I did the whole midnight launch thing. I love the system so far. Personally I think the 3D (on SSFII and Pilotwings so far) is pretty impressive, and even not in 3D, the games look amazing. Personally I wasn't at all physically bothered by the 3D.

Other things (not 3D related) that I love:

AOSS Networking is no longer required. I haven't found a network I couldn't connect to yet

Pedometer functions.

Integrated Mii features and more robust friend system.

The actual horsepower of the system runs circles around the original DS.

My only major gripe so far is that when you are playing standard DS titles on it, it is pretty clear that the 3D screen is a lower resolution than the original DS screens. You can run DS games in their native res, but it looks really odd.

I got a fairly good deal on one. The machine itself was relatively cheap and you got a game of your choice for £10 so figuring that it's not going to drop down in price any time soon I snatched one and it even came a day early.

I got SSFIV with it. I've not kept up with the Street Fighter series since SSFII but it seemed a good idea for a full gaming experience unlike Pilotwings which I also wanted but it seemed too short and basic.

In the menu and mini games/camera I wasn't impressed with the 3D at all. It seemed like all it did was put certain images ever so slightly in front of the other but it's impressive in the actual cartridge game. Like people have said it's like having mini figures come alive and fight inside a diarama. It's neat to see T Hawks in elbows for example look like the it's leaning just outside the screen in Dynamic mode.

Even the 2D graphics look awesome. If Ocarina of Time has new features and isn't just slicker graphics I'm sold as well as the Galaxy-eque Super Mario game.

Question to anyone who's played a regular DS game on this system. Does the analog stick/circle pad work as an alternate D Pad? Mario 64 DS would be perfect if it had that as a control.

I've only played Pokemon Black/Soulsilver on it, and since those have grid based movements I stuck with the D pad.

Like me, he assumed that the 3D effect would be like watching a 3D movie. Ever watch a 3D movie in theaters and watch the images come right to your face? My brother and I both assumed it would be the same thing here. That's not the case though.

By the way, I purchased my 3DS on the day of release. Very happy with it and Street Fighter IV 3D. I'll play my DS games on it until some more quality games come out. Resident Evil is enough to warrant a purchase from me. Mario and Zelda games are also a must.

It's all for the best though. I'm quite happy with the 3DS. I played Street Fighter IV 3D on it for a while and didn't get dizzy at all. Regardless of the 3D, it's still a heck of a portable even if you opt to turn off the 3D. You don't HAVE to play in 3D all the time which is a plus.

04-03-2011, 05:55 PM

Last time I went to Best Buy, I tried it out myself. When I switched to 3D mode, it hurt my eyes. I don't like hand-helds, but because Resident Evil games are now going to it, I'll have to. Unless if Capcom decides to release them to either the Wii or PS3 by the time I save up for the system plus both games.

To Capcom: If you want it for the hand-held go ahead and make those in the hand-held community happy, but also release it to the PS3 and Wii to make the console people happy. Everybody's happy with their own way.

I played around a bit with a 3DS that belongs to a co-worker, and it wasn't as bad as my time with the kiosk version. I think it might have been the angle the system was mounted that made it unbearable to me.

I just found out all of the previous bosses are unlockable in Dead or Alive Paradise, so there's one more minuscule nugget of enticement for me there.

I think people bitch and moan way too much about 3D and their eyes/head/dizzy etc. Yes I'm calling you all out. Remember the Virtual Boy? Yeah the system everyone had a bad experience and nearly went blind with? yet according to sales that can't be true since they never sold most of them. I owned one and guess what I had no problems whatsoever, every 30 minutes or 45 there was an automatic pause that told you to stop playing for 15 minutes. I always ignored those pauses and kept playing, never experienced any discomfort, sure when I stopped playing I'd see red vector lines for a few seconds or so but that is no different than magic eye tricks... Same with 3D movies, only problem I have is the polarized glasses make the movie less bright and that sucks not to mention paying a lot more for the ticket but besides that no problem.

No 3DS for me, since its over $400 here in Mexico, I'll either import it or wait till I come back to the states. The fact that there is no real must have launch title helped, I'm normally a sucker for getting consoles in release date.

Oh for that person wondering about Mario 64 DS with the analog, I actually heard it on a podcast and yes it does make the game much more playable as with any other similar 3D game on the 3DS. The only problem with Mario 64 is you still have to press the button to run so its not like actually playing Mario 64 on the N64, but thats not the fault of the 3DS but the way it was mapped for the original DS.

Dude you have to remember that you are not the only one in the world. Everyone is different and the 3D effect is always gonna effect someone in a different way. I myself have not experienced anything like dizziness, headaches, etc from the 3DS but that's just me. But that shouldn't be a reason to not get such an amazing handheld like the 3DS because 3D can easily be turned off. Don't mean you got to insult anyone.

And yeah I'm sure theres plenty of people who may have problems with 3D but I'm fairly sure its a minority and plenty of people lie or overreact about their experience with 3D. Many seem to just hate on it because they just bought an expensive HD set and they see it as obsolete so they have to bash it, no different than console wars and people bashing the console they do not own. The Virtual Boy is an excellent example since you know most people are BS their opinions about it since nearly no one owned the console.

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonic Underground were the closest thing to pot bellied Sonic having a voice. In which Jaleel White voiced Sonic. Therefore in this new game I can't picture pot bellied Sonic having another voice since he never had one but Jaleel White in the cartoons. But if you're talking video games only, then that's another story maybe Ryan Drummond or Jason Griffith can voice him or just a totally new guy.

Some of them do need it and some of them deserve it. Ever played the Gamecube port of RE? OoT is one that simply deserves it, but a port to a handheld wasn't exactly what I was thinking. Zelda's tend to age pretty well and the best game in the series continues to age beautifully, so I'm not too worried about that.

I think the very first Zelda game on NES is in need of a remake. It hasn't aged as well as the other games have. I remember playing it a couple years back and forcing myself to beat it.

Turo602

04-10-2011, 08:42 PM

I'm all for remakes. Especially when they actually do something to the game to make it feel like the game you played years ago, but better. Resident Evil REmake says it all. But a game like Ocarina of Time deserves a remake as well. It was a masterpiece and made the Zelda series what it is today but has shown it's age. Ocarina of Time 3D lets us look at full 3D models with nicer brighter colors and very smoothed out graphics. It actually looks like the concept art for the game. But a graphics boost isn't too much of a big deal for me. I hope the game can add extra content even though it is already perfect. We already know it has the Master Quest in it, so I should be looking forward to that. I just hope it adds things that never made it into the game due to space. It's a really good idea to remake a game like Ocarina of Time because then it gives a chance for newcomers to experience one of videogame's best work while giving us the an updated version of a game some people don't feel motivated to play anymore due to it's age but with a new way to play. So I feel this remake is for the best. I also feel Nintendo is hiding something from us about this game. They're always up to something.

I have actually been thinking of that. It would make for a nice addition to the Zelda 25th Anniversary thing Miyamoto has planned. A graphical overhaul would certainly give it the extra flare to impress visually.

I don't think it needs one. Most games from the 8 and 16-bit generation hold up well enough that they're still entirely playable, if not a little archaic, ala the original LoZ. The N64/PS era is ripe for remakes, though. A lot of those games have aged horribly. Some of them look absolutely abhorrent and as that era was really the beginning of full 3D action games, a lot of them also control extremely poorly, especially where camera is concerned.

I'm not even that impressed with the Ocarina remake. Compared to Street Fighter and the RE games, it looks pretty unremarkable.

I'm all for Star Fox, though.

That totally counts and was Jaleel White, right?

So am I.

... I just thought of something. What if they remade Bad Dudes?

Small dev already tried it and last I checked they imploded. So many Data East properties belong to some Japanese mobile game company now, so I doubt many people care. Majesco did kick it out in a collection sometime ago, though.

Less seriously, referencing Bad Dudes is kinda not so over anymore. Just a heads up, that ship has sailed.

Appreciate it, yo.

Guess that's why they only had one game in that series. :P

I was wondering when your awful sense of humor would rear its ugly head again.

I... wasn't trying to be funny. It was a legitimate question.

I hear ya. I'm just glad it's getting a graphical overhaul. Would have preferred it on the Wii without 3D, but what can you do?

Per an image from the Nintendo Power April 2011 issue, the inside of some of the shops in Ocarina of Time will be getting slight overhauls too.

I think the very first Zelda game on NES is in need of a remake. It hasn't aged as well as the other games have. I remember playing it a couple years back and forcing myself to beat it.
A makeover would be nice, but I'm not sure about a remake. It's the original Legend of Zelda for Christ's sake.

I did see images of Link's Awakening with SNES-type graphics, making it look more like A Link to the Past. It wasn't anything official, but it would be nice if Nintendo did make an official version of it.

Yeah, we saw the images. It really is a big difference.

And also, they really need to release this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma_rd19fN10&feature=related I'm hoping for some type of remake of the original for Zelda's 25th, another Four Swords, or a compilation game. Either one is fine with me.

Releasing BS Zelda no Densetsu would probably be too much trouble for Nintendo to even bother with.

What you have in the YouTube link, I also had that in mind too. I wouldn't mind getting that as our 25th anniversary present.

Definitely. Only a remake of that. I know I'm being hopeful, but it's just a wish. When I say remake though, I mean graphically. Something that stands out well enough on the wii. Not asking for 480i Resolution, but more polished graphics. I do wonder when we'll get some news on the 25th stuff.

Got a 3DS and been playing some Rabbids Travel in Time. The game is a pretty standard platformer, but it's decent enough. I bought my fiance Nintendogs+cats along with it and she says it's ok.

The 3DS itself feels like a nice piece of hardware and the 3D is pretty neat. I like to keep the slider about half way. It actually does start to hurt my eyes a bit after about an hour, but not much. Just really looking forward to OoT and Cave Story now.
