Nintendo 3DS

For the people who never got to play it back on the N64. Or DS. Or Wii.

Nintendo have innovated over the years for sure but they do seem to be richly rewarded for their laziness these days. I found myself buying Mario Kart Wii at xmas (again). I played it round a friend's too who had also bought it and we were racing on the same courses as we were in 1993. We loved every minute of it mind. Ah Nintendo, how I love thee.

[H-Man]

I'd be happy with nothing but N64 ports

[Ouenben]

I'd be happy with nothing but Gamecube ports (And N64 ports too)

The sooner we get this the better:


I imagine the battery would only last 10 minutes but still!

I don't understand the whole desire for games you've already played to death before on every new machine that comes out.

I want new games. Things I haven't played before.

[gizmo1990]

I do think there's something to be said for being able to play these old games on a portable. Hence I'll give Nintendo a break on the subject. Plus you have to remember that most of these games are classics and can withstand repeated playthroughs.

I would like to see new games and ips from them myself but again, you have to remember how long it takes to dev these titles. Especially under the quality control of Nintendo.

Exactly. I'm not going to shell out 400$ to play Star Fox 64 and Ocarina of Time in 3D.

That said, the 3DS has tremendous potential for new innovative games and it will no doubt deliver them in the future.

I must admit that the overwhelming feeling I ended up with after seeing the line-up video was 'haven't I played all those games before?'. Of course, in some cases I literally have played them before.

I must admit whenever I revisit an old classic, no matter how much I love a game, I usually end up playing it for about an hour. That's about how long it takes for the nostalgia to evaporate.

Game opened pre orders today for only 10 of your british pounds.

So glad I wasn't the only one with this opinion. I genuinely do not understand the need to spend ?200 on a machine to revisit games I once enjoyed on a tiny screen.

Could not agree more. I am fed up of remakes of classics, but, Nintnendo seem to experts at milking their cash cows (And to think people complained about the price of PS3 when it launched)

[Family Fry]

Yeah and people were right to complain about PS3 just like the people that will complain about 3DS, roundabouts and swings.
Already said what I needed to say in games spend thread about 3DS, will buy when library get bigger and better.

[Adam Stone]

Ah, I am one of those sad pillocks who cannot wait to buy OOT and Starfox. For me those games are timeless and show gameplay at its very best. I recently played OOT on my N64 and loved every second yet being able to delve back into that experience with a fresh coat of paint is, for me, money well spent.

I also love how there are potentially millions of eager eyes out there who have not yet experienced classics like Ocarina of Time or StarFox.

But anyhoo... The Japanese launch isn't particularly staggering but it's certainly not weak. Looking forward to seeing if our launch differs at all.

Sad, but indeed true
