I was not at all interested in the 3DS until I saw that it's actually getting a slew of games besides Mario and ported Japanese games. Looks like Nintendo is finally giving some serious effort to drawing in developers which don't rhyme with "Binfendo" and it looks great. A list of games like that could actually convince me to get a 3DS despite it not being compatible with GBA games (though I never realistically expected that anyway).
What do we know as far as system storage memory and downloadable games? If Nintendo makes the 3DS capable of storing and playing older games without having to carry around cartridges, I may actually need to buy this thing.
So 3DS looks pretty cool. However, I've been lured into one too many Nintendo platforms that weren't for me by hardware gimmicks, so it gets a "wait and see" from me. Also, the single analog stick reminds me too much of the problems the PSP had, and the stylus based touchscreen just seems ridiculously outdated at this point.
As for the games, I'm supremely underwhelmed. I realize that a lot of Nintendo fans are loving it. But if you're not a fan of what Nintendo already does, they didn't really give you much of a reason to sign on. They didn't show a single new IP, 1st party or 3rd.
those SFIV screens don't look very good, what's with the jaggies
One thing's clear, those developers who said the 3DS had the power of a PS3/360 were talking out of their asses. That, or you need that kind of power to display PS2-like stuff in 3D.
Which, if that's the case, really kind of makes it a shame it's in 3D at all, I'd rather have Uncharted 2 portable-like visuals, thanks.
And those third party games are incredible franchises to grab! Seriously! Holy shit! How did they get Metal Gear Solid and Street Fighter and Resident Evil and all this other shit? HOW?!
Yeah, this. I'm more or less done with Zelda and Mario Sports and all of that crap, but man alive it looks like Nintendo's finally gotten plenty of third party support.

I thought the Kirby game looked great. UFO and TANK modes looked fun.
Those enemies are going to have weird stories about alien abduction.

I think the 3DS looks far less gimmicky than the Wii itself. Mostly, it's just an updated, overhauled DS with new capabilities. The 3D part really holds no appeal to me, but the game lineup plus a more robust handheld certainly do.

I ... can't comprehend this.
Displaying stuff in 3D requires more processing power. Or "oomph," if that's more your speed.

God, my brain can't even fullly process this all. It's too awesome.
At the very least, keep in mind that the nature of stereoscopic rendering is such that the only thing preventing every image from being processed and rendered twice is how good your algorithm is and how specifically it's tailored to the application in question. What it may be lacking in graphics (I personally think that it's packing more than enough punch, 3D on the DS looks almost objectively bad while this seems as if it will be tolerable and age well enough), it's certainly making up for in processing power. I believe it when Hojima raves about that -- and with that kind of powerful, versatile processing ... and marketing + a system that has the ability to play without 3D right there on the packaging ... developers might seem a little bit less hemmed in by the gimmick than they did with the DS or Wii at launch, explaining some of the third-party enthusiasm.
Kid Icarus was kind of awful though so this is a good thing.
...
I loved the first one.
the "dungeon" levels sucked though. Immediately said fuck it and used gamefaqs maps for those.
and by todays standards, you would say zelda 1 is a fantastic game? or what?
zelda 1 dungeons had it issues too (going way out of order and getting stuck needing a certain item). Also being completely clueless on how to find some of the dungeons (especially the last one!). I thought the zelda1 dungeons were much more enjoyable then Kid Icarus's, for sure.
I love how everybody cheered when the third party titles were being announced for the 3DS, but laughed when Saints Row came up.
Out of shock, probably.
I mean, really, who can honestly say they expected Saints Row to come to a Nintendo platform?
Who honestly expected half of those games to ever show up.
It's not as if Nintendo's third party support has been stellar.
This is a mildly dumb thing to say, particularly about their handheld 3rd party support which has always been everyone and their uncle.
Sure they've had problems with their home consoles but they've never ran into 3rd party issues with handhelds with the small exception of very early DS.

To be fair, I'm sure they tried before, but now that they've shown the world that they could pretty much walk into peoples' houses, take all their stuff, and still have their hands shaken on the way out, everyone can't wait to climb on that wagon.

blowing holes in walls was an established tradition by then.
Needing to blow a fucking flute on one screen, the ONLY screen that acted any differently to the flute and gave no real clue that it was what was needed to be done?
fuck that fucking pond up its pondy ass.

I beat that game when I was 6.
I redownloaded it on my Wii, and it's still awesome. ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS am I rite?!11
Also, Kid Icarus was deeper than some people might remember, especially those "empty" doors where you needed a certain amount of points to trigger what was actually in them.

Says it will be very challenging.
That said the Street Fighter 4 engine always screenshots like shit but looks good in motion.
Announce a new Kid Icarus.
I just about cried when I realized what was happening, and I don't even know why. It seems the stupidest thing in the world, but goddamnit.
I would kill someone, in front of their own mama, for access to a 3DS and that game.

it is actually quite crazy how many of the games are coming this year, very surprising.

But Saints Row? Not so much.
Link has his own game, Skyward Sword.

I grew up and fell in love with Kid Icarus in a different place in time my friend.

Wii stuff is expected. Donkey Kong, Kirby, Mario Sports, Wii Party.
3DS has a shit ton of games we didn't expect. Kid Icarus. Splinter Cell. Metal Gear. SFIV. Dreamcast level graphics.
dungeon music track was weak compared to the other levels (which were great).
I beat Mario1 when I was 4 and got to mike tyson on punch-out. Many years later, I couldn't beat those without a little help. Amazing we were as kids.
Love it.
