Posted August 29, 2014 Don't really like the look of the 2nd stick. Looks Weird! Also the delay till 2015 is silly as hardware sales will seriously go through a hard time now. I would have preferred a higher resolution screen. The name will confuse customers also. Nintendo seem to love doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 I've seen people say the coloured buttons on it remind them of the Xbox 360 controller. I think it's time to off myself -_- First it was them thinking the 8-bit sword in Hyrule Warriors was a Minecraft reference, then this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have preferred a higher resolution screen. The name will confuse customers also. Nintendo seem to love doing that. I'm glad they are releasing an upgraded 3DS but disappointed no bump in resolution of the screen and 2015 in Europe is too late. You two must be trolling surely? You know that they couldn't do that because existing games and apps wouldn't be able to run at the higher resolution... You wont get a higher resolution screen until the next handheld comes out... BTW, speaking of which. This New3DS also reaffirms their commitment to 3D as the new S3D screen is one of (if not THE biggest) new features of the revised handheld - so the next handheld will certainly also feature an S3D screen (just like they said it would some years back). 2DS was not a sign of their future as some naysayers predicted, merely a cost cutting exercise. Speaking of which, I have no idea how the hell they've managed to build a parallax barrier screen that is able to actually move the barrier in accordance to the user's face! That's amazing! I can't wait to see it in action!!! (WHY 2015!? WHY!?!?!?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 The name has to go. New 3DS is ridiculous and will only confuse people. Good to battery performance increased. Western 3DS sales will suffer. Why buy one at holiday season when a new one is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 29, 2014 Nice redesigns but I probably won't be investing, my XL hasn't had a great deal of use this year so can't really warrant upgrading for a third time. As for Xenoblade, I think I would of preferred a HD remaster for WiiU with improved graphics, frame rate, character models etc rather than see it compressed down on to a handheld, I'm sure it will appeal to some though.

Posted August 29, 2014 Nintendo release handheld iterations almost as often as Acti release Call of Duty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 This also means that we're at roughly the halfway point of the 3DS' lifecycle (DSi came out 2008 - just a little over halfway through its own lifecycle before the 3DS replaced it). So we're looking at around late 2016/early 2017 for the 4DS. Nice to know that the little 3D handheld that could still has plenty of life left in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 29, 2014 At least they're not fucking around with the name this time.. 'yo, you heard about that new 3DS'oh yeah, you mean the XL one with the bigger screens? No no, The NEW 3DS Ooooh, right, the one they named the 2DS but is really a new kind of 3DS, right? You're not following me, this new 3DS is called the NEW 3DS. I see, why is this one so NEW then? It can play Xenoblade WII HAD NO GAMES, WII U HAS NO GAMES!! or are they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 This is meant to replace the 3DS and 3DS LL in retail, not work in tandem so 100% confirmed the old models will no longer be in store when the new 3DS is released? yes or no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 29, 2014 Here's a pic of all the face plates that will be released. No Zelda one yet. That Kut-Ku one is hilarious though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Well, I'll never buy a piece of hardware from Nintendo at launch again. Xenoblade and other future 3DS games only playable on this new thing. ANOTHER handheld iteration which I'd have to buy after I bought a 3DS AND a 3DS XL. No thanks. Also: if you add a second analogue stick...why not use the space which is now occupied by what appears to be the "start" and "select" buttons for a larger one? It makes absolutely NO sense to not do it. Edited August 29, 2014 by drahkon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) 3DS and Wii U will fade out together or close enough. Their next console/handheld will share the same architecture. So it'll be another 2 years at least most likely before we see any successor talk and they'll need to release in tandem or as close as possible. http://nintendoeverything.com/iwata-on-integrating-handheldconsole-teams-next-system-will-absorb-the-wii-u-architecture-adequately-more/ http://www.ign.com/blogs/zanethewise/2014/02/05/nintendo-to-launch-multiple-consoles-and-handhelds-next-gen Edited August 29, 2014 by Wii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm certainly very tempted. Pretty sure I said way back there'd be a 3rd iteration like the DSi XL and got told there wouldn't be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 The exclusive games will be interesting as i'm sure they said the same thing about the DSi which never really happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK... I WANT IT NOW! WHY CAN'T I HAVE IT RIGHT NOW? WHY WHY WHY WHY The exclusive games will be interesting as i'm sure they said the same thing about the DSi which never really happened. Over 400 DSi exclusive games were released via DSiware... And plenty of hybrid retail games were released (including Pokemon B/W 1 and 2) Edited August 29, 2014 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
