Online Four Swords mode... ...please Here's the artwork I was referring to earlier

It really isn't. They specifically stated what it is for. It's a cheap model of the 3DS with no stereoscopic 3D making it perfect for kids. THAT IS ALL. I honestly don't get where you're getting this.

I was more referring to the price drops people were suggesting such as down to $199.99 :p

Same with the original GameBoy. I mean it's not like that has survived landmines

They said it's because the hinge is the most likely thing to break in the hands of a child

So many dismiss it as "kiddie" too, due to colours and subject matter. Would like to see a kid not die 15 billion times in each level here

Todays picture Link finishes off his move as Kirby dances.

Wii U, sure. 3DS, no I honestly don't believe it's as easy as you think

I'm not shocked at it, but I am disappointed. It's a fantastic game and deserves massive accolades, millions playing it and so on. What is interesting is that Famitsu has it at 1,000 higher and includes digital download codes

Hold up...they're advertising Nintendo TVii on that box...

You're missing the entire point of this device. It's a cheap entry level device that gets rid of the stigmatised 3D effect that parents believe would damage their kids eyes. It's cheap, allowing for reluctant parents to buy it for their children. It is MEANT to be an alternate form of the 3DS. It's not meant to be a tablet. It's not meant to be a new device for people to purchase. It is just meant to be a cheaper alternative. The changes you're proposing would make it an entirely new console which is not their intent. Making it a tablet would have been horrible. Red or Blue?

No Nintendo Network icon, so guess not :/ Oh Nintendo, you do things so right most of the time, then you do this -_-

You fanboy :p

That will NEVER happen To be fair, Nintendo set out a sort out plan for the Wii U simultaneously. Price cut, reshuffle of game releases to be more aggressive. Not sure what else they could do It's a single screen as a cost saving service. It is not shown as a single screen as that'd create more confusion, fragment the market and so forth. Come on. This is just a new model of 3DS, not a new bloody console. It's amazing how many people wanted fundamental changes with this

It's actually just smaller than the standard 3DS

You realise that they don't actually have the ability to go back in time to rectify this, correct?

For what reason?

Yes...on day one. Not retroactively. To retroactively do it requires a lot of finetuning, testing etc., especially if multiple consoles are in question. As such, they can't just "get it done". It takes work

Well the baseline seems to be £110, though ShopTo say its RRP is £120, so we should be gold

You're right. A previously unpromoted price drop as a promotion means this clearly won't work It is just a day of Nintendo insanity today

It's not as easy as that

I can guess why they are having issues with it, but they need to sort it out soon

I believe you're highly mistaken if you don't think this'll do well. As a concept, it is brilliant, especially with the timing. It's the name and the unusual aesthetics that are the issue. However, it's cheap, and it gets rid of one barrier preventing parents buying the console. It will do well
