For serious. I'm more excited about the 3DS as a product than I have been for any console... ever. The PS2 came close. It had so much reality distortion hype... supercomputer, can't sell them to Iran cause they could be used to launch missiles... etc.

Even the 360 and PS3 left me kind of Meh in anticipation due to their price and underwhelming launch system graphics.

Somehow, the fugly little DS has become my most-played system of all time, surpassing my Dreamcast as favorite system ever. The upgrade to the 3DS is a no-brainer. ]]>Jul 29th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/

There is no console better than Dreamcast something may equal it one day but nothing will ever be better.]]>Jul 29th 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/
I'm getting it. I wanted the PSP2, but without 3D, it will be outdated (hardware-wise) in, I don't know, 2 years?

Sony got it wrong: 3D is more suitable for handheld devices more than it will ever be for expensive glasses-much PS3. It was also a way to make the PSP2 unique, rather than just a watered down version of the PS3 console games.]]>Jul 29th 2010 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/Jul 29th 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/

I don't see how this is going to sell smoothly... The people amazed at the screen were amazed at the no-glasses part... They still all said it was shitty. The design is also fucking ugly, and it may cost more than the PSPgo... Which doesn't have 3D screen technology, but it does have a bigger screen, 16GB memory built-in, a MUCH BETTER design, etc... And it's on sale at dell.com for $169 all the time!

I seriously think that this will be the first big flop for Nintendo... And I LOVE my DS... 3D just doesn't need a place in the portable gaming world. It can stay on the 45" TV's.]]>Jul 29th 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/your a horrible attempt of trying to make a baby]]>Jul 29th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/Jul 29th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/You do understand that the 3DS is the proper successor to the DS, and makes numerous advances besides the 3D (which is optional anyways)?]]>Jul 29th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/Jul 31st 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/

Should those be the prices, I'll just wait for the inevitable hardware rehash Nintendo always does.

Seriously, that would be way too much for a handheld, even from Nintendo.]]>Jul 29th 2010 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/
It sounds very reasonable to me:

1) It IS as/more powerful than the Wii, only it will fit in your pocket and won't need a TV.
2) Glasses-free 3D
3) No competition (Sony stupidly decided that the PSP2 won't have 3D i.e. will be outdated in a couple of years)]]>Jul 29th 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/
So what? Awesome, it'll have better graphics than the Wii.

On a small screen.

Sure, it can fit in your pocket, but it's a gaming system, and outside of hardcore gamers, most people won't want to swallow that kind of price for a handheld. They'll have a tough time marketing it to their touch generations crowd to upgrade, and parents will find it hard to swallow buying multiple systems for their kids.

Most people feel that 3D is a gimmick anyway. Nintendo might be able to make it cool, especially since it won't require glasses, but still. Sure the next Sony handheld supposedly won't be 3D, but Sony's copied Nintendo plenty of times before (remember, within 8 months of Nintendo announcing the Wii and its controller, Sony announced motion controls for their PS3 at the following E3), and could produce a system that's more in line with being an entertainment system, akin to the PS3.

$250 to $300 for a handheld is just obscene.]]>Jul 29th 2010 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/So you felt the same about the PSP when it first came out, right?

Regardless.... as someone who already owns 3 different consoles, I find it MORE ridiculous that my friends are ditching perfectly good-working Xboxs just to get a Slim... paying $300 for something new and different makes sense... paying $300 for something you already own just cause the newer one is new, that's stupid.

I'd also rather spend $300 on a 3DS over $200 for Natal.

The PSP drove me away from handheld gaming, the 3DS will bring it back.]]>Jul 29th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/Jul 29th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/
Totally felt the same way about the PSP when it came out, though at the time it was also too high a price to ask for a new gaming system from a company who had never done portable gaming before. This isn't like the GameBoy when it first came out, because it was an already well established market where Nintendo was still king.

Other than improved graphics, a 3D top screen, and a joystick, the 3DS isn't too terribly new from the current DS.

My argument is that if Nintendo wants the same level of success they've experienced with the DS, pricing it that high won't get them there.

$200 is more appropriate. Drop the DS Lite from production, possibly the DSi as well, or drop the price on the DSi and DSi XL.

I'm pretty serious when I say I'll wait for the inevitable next hardware revision if the system arrives at $250 or more.]]>Jul 29th 2010 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/Jul 29th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-issues-a-3ds-release-date-date/

It is handheld.
2. It has a 3D screen.
3. It doesn't need a TV screen, because it has two.
4. It has an accelerometer and motion sensor.
5. It has three cameras - one inside and 2 outside for taking 3D pictures.
So $300 sounds like the perfect price.]]>Aug 12th 2010 5:35PM
