People are pissed off because the upgrades are so minor it just shouldn't have been made. I would gladly buy a new system with actual spec improvements not just slight improvements. The screen improvement seems like the best thing but its not really such a huge leap.


Also the exclusive games won't be anything special, just some freeware games or some games will feature the nipple control and allow cam movement.

People need to stop freaking out about that.
>>
>>260698521
>Also the exclusive games won't be anything special
It's fucking Xenoblade

The reason I am skeptical of the new 3DS is because I bought a DSi.

>FUCK YOU, Nintend! how dare you release a slightly more powerful system that has exclusive games!
>You should just keep making game boy games forever!

Honestly though, I don't understand why Nintendo thought this was a good idea, it just divides the market place. I mean who the fuck (besides Nintendo) would develop for an upgraded system with no users compared to one that has an install base of 43million units

No they aren't. If this was just another revision everyone would be laughing at Nintendo about how they're releasing another revision.

The hate is that it's going to get exclusive titles. Which we completely have no idea how many the system will have except for one ugly port of Xenoblade.

Once they announce a new Metroid or StarFox exclusively for this thing, everyone will be completely validated to bitch. But until then, every NEET on this board is upset that they can't scrounge the money up in a year to get it for one so-far comfirmed exclusive.

I got 3ds day one then the xl a few months ago because broken shoulder buttons. Now this bs. If I didn't get the xl id be ok with it...maybe. Instead of a slight upgrade they should work on a brand new one fuck that 10-20% CPU shit. What's next wiiu2? Turning into Apple.

>>260699065
It took 9-10 years for them to do it with the GBC, though the complaint is still valid.

Think about this from the standpoint of a developer

>we could release this game with slightly easier to use controls
>or we could develop for the system everyone already has

A handful of games will use the nipple and and new shoulder
They will also probably be able to be controlled using the touchscreen in the same way

Even if they don't have jobs, it's only $180. If they do all their chores and save up allowance they should have enough money to buy a New 3DS before it's even released in the west.

Plus they could even trade in/sell their old model and greatly reduce the cost of the new system.

>>260699787
but if the majority of the people who actually buy 3ds games own a new 3ds, then you should just make a game exclusive to it

>>
>>260699519
You're comparing today to the 90's. It doesn't work that way. The technology to make the GBC much like the new 3DS, could be done in the time it's predecessor came out, but they couldn't be made without losing money. The only reason they're releasing the new 3DS is because they found a cost effective way to produce it much like GBC. It's like you're trying to say technology grew just as fast today as in the 90's.
>>
>>260700758
True, but that could be a few years from now, anyway, upgrading what you own by then will make more sense.

The only thing I can think of that explains Nintendo's decision to release a New 3DS is they're trying to encourage more 3rd party company's to develop for them.

Currently the only decent games that people want to buy are mostly 1st party games, this is great for the customers but bad for Nintendo considering they make most of their money from licensing. So to get the players to buy the new systems they have to release exclusive first party titles.

It wasn't a huge upgrade though. They added the color screen, obviously. And a fasted processor i believe.

I had a GBC. Loved it, but there weren't a ton of games made exclusively for the GBC. The new 3DS is a little silly to me, but i'll probably pick one up probably 2 years after it debuts, and gets some games.

The name itself is the fucking dumbest part. Nintendo needs to fire their entire marketing department. The only thing they've done well is the E3 Treehouse event.

No they have not. Nintendo has always made revisions with improvements that were optional. You were never locked out of new games because you bought an old version.

The one exception was the DSi, which introduced DSiware. It was slightly more powerful than the DS and had content exclusive to it through the DSi store.

The New 3DS is another DSi, except Nintendo will be making new retail exclusive games for it and pushing it as hard as they can.

Want to know why this won't be some shit revision you can ignore? Because they have to pay royalties for the old 3DS now.

http://www.law360.com/articles/495175/rakoff-sets-royalty-rate-for-nintendo-3ds-technology

This also falls align with their new strategy of finding alternative source of revenues outside of games. The New 3DS with its faceplate accessories and the NFC reader actually being incorporated into the system so they can really push Amiibos on it and the Wii U.

The NEW 3DS was built more out of desperation than actual design.

the original 3ds was too small, so I waited for the superior 3dsxl

if anything this will serve to extend the 3ds lifespan since without this we'd get a fully new handheld probably in 2016, but with this there will still be games for 3ds well for a few years longer. i doubt there will be very many n3ds exclusives, just a few here and there.

As a Nintendo-mostly owner myself, I agree that a huge part of the fanbase act just like Applefags in the sense that they LOVE to waste money on every new console Nintendo shits and just throw their 2-year-old console to the trashcan. The dude in the video portrays the situation pretty well.
It's pretty sad how far it has gone.

I can see why people would be angry.
I was gonna get a XL last Christmas, Zelda one, but I ran out of money. If I had bought it, would I be angry now. FUCK YES. But since I still have my 3DS from release, I'm actually relieved, as long as they do not release a new one next year.
>>
>>260700738
That would be a great idea...if your account wasn't tied to the system, but it is, meaning you can't simply sign in your account again to get all your stuff back, and if you sell your console to get a new one, you'll lose all your digital games.

current 3dsxl is 200 dollars. I don't see the new 3dsxl being 200 dollars unless some massive price drops happen.

Oh wait, you're just going to respond with "LOL POORFAG"

No shit, stupid. that's not the issue.

The issue is that this is so absolutely abrupt and out of nowhere, and it is quickly coming. There are probably millions of people who bought new XL's, 2DS's or regular 3DS's for Smash and all of that, and now they're pulling this shit for no reason. There was even a kid who posted a pictureof his receipt for a new XL he bought yesterday for Smash. The 3DS is selling great and they know it, but they decide to fuck everyone over and put out something objectively better and easier to develop for.

I guarantee you it's gonna get an important game that everyone is gonna get pissed off over, like a new Metroid or Pokemon gen.

And if you're the kind of mongoloid to spout LOL POORFAG BUTTMAD you're the exact kind of idiot this product is for: spoiled manchildren with no perspective on expenses.

"well my 3ds is worn out anyways"

>>
The Vita is dead and now there's a hole in the market that Nintendo wants to use, but nobody wants to develop for the 3DS because of the hardware and controls, you can't fucking port a franchise from another system when the control scheme is completely different and the hardware is underpowered, and you want people to buy the new system so you release exclusives.

>Got an XL about 2 years ago, loved it, but I had to buy the XL, bring it home, system transfer my shit, bring the XL and the old one back to gamestop, return it, sell the old 3DS, then rebuy the XL with the credit.

The assholes at gamestop gave me so much shit for trying to return it to. I explained to them step by step what I was going to do, asked them if it was cool. The guys working said it'd be fine, but when I got there they couldn't figure out shit. I never worked at gamestop, but refund/rerings are pretty common in retail.

The point is it shouldn't have to be this complicated. Why can't I just log into my account and get all my games back easily like I did when my Vita broke and I had to get a new one?

And it's not just Sony. I'm not familiar with XBL, but I'm assuming it's the same way (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not claiming this as truth). If your PC died, after getting a new one you could just sign into Steam and get all your old games back easily. Why is it just Nintendo that makes it so difficult?
>>
>>260706075

Because they didn't have an internet connection.

You need to connect to the internet first before doing a transfer I guess.

Stop droning.

There are people who are planning to/have already put their money towards the Smash 3DS bundle. Once it comes out, they have less than a year until it goes obsolete. The fucking thing has a godawful name and it already has a fucking exclusive. This is literally something Apple would do.
>>
>>260705924

Yes it had.
About 4 but it had.

Go read your 3ds manual if you don't believe me

>>
>>260705823
>>infrared port, but who cared about that

Why did they never use that? Was it just not reliable enough, or did they just say "hey, let's waste consumer dollars for hardware features maybe one game will every use"
>>
>>260705148
DS was 04

DS lite was 06

DSi was 08.

So you had 4 years between the DS and DSi.

There were a couple differences. The DSi didn't really have too much of a hardware bump when it came to the games, it just had updated software to do some more digital stuff, so the DSi games were largely digital-only and small in scope. There were like 3 DSi only carts and 2 of them never left Japan.

This is different because they bumped the main hardware some but not a lot, but they intend to put a number of carts out on it.

It's the same as the DSi at best (Which, while not great, is decidedly neutral).

At worst, we're looking at sega-tier bullshit where 3DS is abandonware.

I'm not totally sold on the new 3DS either, but if it ends up having a solid amount of games exclusive to it, I'm gonna buy it. The only reason I bought the XL is because the old 3DS was so small and it made my hands cramp up like a motherfuck.

They'll first release before the four year mark, this year, in japan.

Even at four full years 5 versions of one system in four years is atrocious.
>>
>>260706238

Because then the games would still be on the old handheld, and nintendo doesn't want people buying used 3dses with free digital games, which apparently would be a problem with how fickle you people are and how often I guess you toss out your old hardware just for a bigger screen or some shit

To be fair though the XL was a nice upgrade.
The 2DS made sense because parents were worried about little Timmy fucking his eyes up with the 3D effect. (I know you could disable it, but the average consumer doesn't read the owners manual, or check around the settings.)

not really, these are the first upgrade

the 2ds just removed the 3d

this is the first time they actually improved the core 3ds model
>>
>>260706370

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DSi#Software_library

Ok, but which one of these justifies buying one if you already have the DS? I mean, all the power to them for introducing new models, but the DSi isn't in the same league as this.
>>
>>260706032
you mean before right?
>>
>"new" 3ds
This shouldn't be allowed, they done it in the past but that doesnt mean it isn't wrong when exclusive bullshit happens. Specially when the 2ds excuse was "cheaper and that allows to play 3ds games". Now those kids and people who bought the cheaper version can get kicked in the ass if some of their favorite series are exclusive to the "new" console.
Worst is how in 3 years is possible that Nintendo has an actually new portable console.
Because of shit like that I am extra cautious and only buy consoles like 5 or 6 years after launch because of the revisions bullshit. Really, this bullshit revisions is the same thing they do with Pokemon A&B versions, worse is how consumers eat this because they can't control themselves.

Not really, no other company tends to have this be a big problem. Just do it like Sony does, allow the game to be downloaded to two different platforms only. Problem solved.

This.
If there's even a next gen of handhelds from Nintendo, I know it'll be smarter to not even consider purchasing the handheld until many years later. That's not going to look good on their sales if a lot more people choose the same thing. Imagine too, people were enormously enraged that Sony released a slim version of everything but releasing three significantly different versions of the 3DS is okay, each one supposedly treating some issue of the previous model.

2.5 to be totally accurate.

>>260707551
Most of the time they've added a few hardware features, like the SP's backlight and better mobility, or the DSi's gay little camera. The NewDS is flat out better in every way, and they're still pushing 3DS's while giving the NewDS promise of exclusives. I'm sure millions of kids are gonna get 3DS's for Christmas in 4 months and find out it's already obsolete.

Its bullshit that they gave us such short notice, because that means they already considered and now how well Smash is gonna move units but chose not to tell us. A 2016 release for the New would be acceptable but this is obnoxious.

It would have to be a majority of the price off and full transfer of the memory from the old system. Otherwise no it wouldn't be, it's pretty damn scummy to try and push "new" hardware out when it's more like just a slight upgrade and say that games require the new stuff.

it's more like the DSi, a slight upgrade and some games that'll be exclusive because of it, but not a new system because there is no new gimmick.

Yes. It is. Roughly calculated, 70 bucks in 1989 with current inflation would be around 150 burgerbuck around now. Which is the going rate for a standard 3DS.

Another fun fact to educate your inbred ass; every nintendo console has cost the same mount of money, considering inflation. AKA you paid the same amount of money for a NES as you do for a WII U, respectively.

I dropped money on a special edition, I'm sure as fuck not going to sell it. And why should the consumer take the burden when Nintendo fucked up first with an underpowered system? If they put some time into a new machine with a decent resolution and no shitty gimmick and maybe they'd have a deal.

>>260713865
Come on, just do it. Pay over a hundred dollars for a special edition or whatever, then trade it in for a new system. Then trade that system in for the better one that comes out after. Rinse and repeat until the money you've spent on new handhelds becomes the equivalent of buying three more.

On the contrary, it's perfectly accurate.
The Gameboy pocket was an improved version of the Gameboy, but still the same hardware.

The 3DS XL was an improved version of the 3DS, but still the same hardware.

The 3DS is basically the equivalent of the Game Boy Pocket.

>>260713865
Nintendo's whole strategy is in selling 'withered' hardware that costs less, has less potential problems, and that is easier to make into a rugged toy. If you really care about power and resolution you should be looking at PC or at least tablets but there you have an even faster hardware cycle. Even the PSV has hardware that looks like a joke compared to a $200 Nexus 7, one quarter the resolution, and a GPU that's several generations behind.

>>260714945
The 3DS was basically a portable with capabilities similar to the Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox consoles, when it launched mobile games were basically on par with Dreamcast because of space limitations and even now PS2 games are still difficult for many tablets to handle because of battery life concerns and storage space available. It was a good system when it launched, now we're getting effectively the 3DSi and while it doesn't keep up with modern tablets like the Nvidia Shield its going to show off its primary advantage of DVD sized storage with Xenoblade.

This just sets a fuckawful precedent where game console owners are willing to pay full price for an incremental hardware update that incentives the transition with exclusive games. Of course the existing audience is going to want to buy into this, they're essentially told their hardware is out of date, their current-gen system is old and busted, that they need to buy the *new* current-gen system.

And no, this isn't like the GBC or the DSi. The GBC was conceived as the next iteration in the Gameboy console line. The DSi was more comparable, but its purpose wasn't to outright replace the non-i DS systems.

This isn't comparable to phones either. The 3DS is a closed platform, there are only two handheld systems currently on the market. There's no need for an incremental upgrade arms race.

The New 3DS really is a slap in the face, and if people actually buy into it, this will set an awful precedent for console gaming as a whole. If this succeeds, we're all fucked.

This factually wrong:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_Boy_Color_games
And this better not be your main argument. It can easily be predicted that the proportion of games "optimised for the new 3DS" being also playable on the normal 3DS will be far greater than the (little) proportion of gameboy color games also playable on the normal GB.

from a business point of view, it will be far more rentable to develop games thats till work on the two platform.

There is more game than that you can play on the DSi that you can't on the DS. And there is plenty of games on the GBC that you can't play on the GB.

Also, you are complaining about not being able to play a game that wouldn't even exist in the first place if the new version hadn't been made.

The GBC was 9 years after the GB and the DSi didn't have Nintendo getting dev support for it.

No. I'm complaining about Nintendo releasing a new console, horribly disguised as a "new iteration" with extra controls (we're not talking about a camera added, but actually a C-stick and 2 extra shoulder buttons which add more to gameplay), while also releasing games exclusive to this new iteration, pretty much alienating previous 3DS users.

No it isn't.

Between the upgraded version og the Gameby (the gameboy pocket) everyone bought and the Gameboy color there was only 2 years.

Between the upgraded version of the 3DS (3DS XL) and the new 3Ds there was only 2 years.

It's the exact same deal than the Dsi and the GBC. His answer is not valid.

And don't bring the amount of game there. most editors will more than likely keep doing games that will work on the two consoles, to not have potential lost, meaning that the only gmae the Normal 3DS owner willl not get are game that wouldn't even have existed in the frirsqt place had the new version system not existed.
>>
>>260733468
They called it New 3DS apparently to make everyone think it is just another 3DS, when so far it seem the same kind of change as NES -> Super NES
Games, hardware, and pretty much everything indicates that, with putting "New" to the name, they meant much more than New just because a new iteration: it's just a new handheld.

They didn't for the GBC, they didn't for the DSi, they didn't for the N64 expansion pack, what make you think they will for the N3DS?

It should be quite clear that Xenoblode would have been way too big for the current specification of the old 3DS.

>>260735358
Holy shit you're really dumb.
The if the list was ONLY consoles that allowed exclusive content, and then asked the question "Why is anyone surprised?", then it wouldn't be a valid answer. It makes it obvious that the point of the post is to show that revisions with exclusive content have happened before.

However the original post included tons of regular revisions. Ones that A: people didn't complain about and B: do not have the problem that the New 3DS have.
The SP, the Micro, the DS Lite, the PSP 2000, 3000 and GO, did not have exclusive content, making the post look like people are complaining about a regular revision.
So in this case, his answer is valid.

missing the point completly.

comparing the Game Boy Pocket to the Game Boy is not the comparison I have done.

I have compared the Game Boy Pocket to the 3DS XL.

If the Game Boy is the equivalent of the 3DS, then

the Game Boy Pocket is the equivalent of the 3DS XL and

the Game Boy Color sis the equivalent of the New 3DS.

No, you're just really dumb. You're confusing two issues.
The original poster seemed to imply that the new 3DS is a regular revision, asking why people were surprised and that there's backlash. The second poster answered his question, in that it's not just a normal revision like some of the other consoles listed there.

YOUR issue is that you think the exclusive content is not worth complaining about. That's not what the original poster asked, nor is it even relevant to that reply chain.
>>
>>260736234
>>260736441
>There were a shitload of games on GBC uncompatible with GB.
and there was no incentives from nintendo behind that.

Actually what happened is that during the first years, most games for the color still worked for the normal GB. But has more and more people buy the GBC, they focused more and more on it.

Nintendo never pushed anyone in the back for the devs to only work on the GBC.

More than likely, the future 3DS game will work on both system, so that the devs will not get loss out of cutting themselves from a market of 44 millions users. what will happen instead is that the game will have optional control nlocked for the N3DS and maybe better looking graphic or 60fps unlocked.

This is the soundest business plan and there is no reasons for the devs to not stick with it.
>>
>>260736936
Not any of the anons you are quoting, but he did, sorta.
- People is complaining because N3DS is getting exclusive games not compatible with the "old" 3DS
- People starts sperging about how nobody should've been surprised because "it's Nintendo, they always do that."
- Then >>260716086 posted the list of different handhelds, wondering why people was surprised, also adding as analogy how Sony would announce a Vita 4000 too. Apparently believes people is only complaining because it just another iteration.
- Then >>260732145 starts detailing why makes the actual situation different than the list the previous anon posted.

So by your own logic, the original Gameboy's money-hungry ways of quickly releasing new expensive installments were even worse than the 3DS. Therefore, the 3DS to "new" 3DS is much better.

Making exclusives for the N3DS != stopping making games for the 3DS.

They have a user base of 44 million. they will probably only make exclusives for games that require too much resources for the initial 3DS, like a Majora Mask port working at 60 fps.

My current prediction is that from now on most games Nintendo will do for the 3DS will work on both the old and the new system, but will work at 60fps for the N3DS.
>>
>>260740394
Exactly, and it set the standard for every Nintendo handheld to follow

To call it a redesign only while the New 3DS is counted as a separate system because of a couple exclusives is retarded
>>
>>260739949
So what you're saying is that it's a redesign only?
>>260740007
No, you just don't know how words work and it's quite obvious English is not your first language. If I had said OP, I'd be talking about the OP of the thread. I typed out original poster and clearly referenced something in the post we were talking about.
He asked WHY people were surprised while giving a list of revisions, and also said he wouldn't be surprised if Sony made a "Vita 4000". This makes it obvious that he was thinking in his mind that people were surprised over a regular revision.
The second poster simply answered his question, and told him why people were surprised. Whether or not they should be is a different question in this context, given that the poster didn't seem to think that this revision was any different than say the DS Lite was.

Except this isn't a significant upgrade, leaving room for an actual new console in the near future. New 3DS owners laughing at the people who bought the original 3DS best be prepared for a taste of their own medicine when the 4DS comes out in 2016

>>260741032
I don't think the New 3DS is a new console, but it's not just a redesign either. It should be labeled something else.
>>260741173
He did give a valid answer. He was asked why people are surprised and was told why people are surprised. If the guy exclusively listed the GBC and the DSi it would be a different story.
Yes. And OP when abbreviated is usually only talking about the first post of a thread. The fact that I typed it out AND gave context for you is enough to tell you that I wasn't talking about the first person of a thread, and people also do this all the time on 4chan. It does not refer to the same things given context, which I gave you plenty of.

>>260741514

You only get to say that if Nintendo makes another handheld before 2017.

>>260741172
There was no way Sony could have done backwards compatibility. They would either have to reuse Cell or put PS3 parts in the PS4, making the console much note expensive. You are fucking ignorant as shit.

>>260741121
>Where is the time and resources for OG 3DS games?
N3Ds is just an upgraded 3DS. 90% of the games they develop will be able to work on both. All that will happens. You act as if there was a gigonomous leap between the N3DS and the 3DS, whereas it's just more ram and a faster clock. Only a few games will push the console so far it will only work on the N3DS.

A game developed to work for the N3DS will be able to easily work on the 3DS if gimped a bit (like dropping the frame rate from 60fps to 30 fps, for example).

All in all, it's more than likely that the the proportion of games that will only work on the N3DS will be way smaller than the game that one for the games that only worked on the GBC.

-A better screen and touch screen
-A better management of the brightness of the screen
-A better battery life
-A faster download from the internet
-A faster navigation on the internet and Mii Verse

Things 3DS games that already use the circle pad pro and 3DS game that might receive patch update to use those feature will benefit from the 3DS:
-A new camera control stick
-New ZR and ZL shoulder buttons
both dirctly integrated to the console

Things exclusive to the New 3DS games and 3DS game that might receive update patch (unlikely) and 3DS games that will be able to work on both 3DS but gimped on the normal one will benefit from the New 3DS
-A faster processor
-More Ram

It isn't a good reason. There fore it isn't a good answer.
>>260743536
It's actually like the DSi who was an updated system compared to the DS and could play games the DS couldn't. And it's like the GBC compared to the GB and the GB Pocket.

But no, it's not like the GBA SP nor like the DS Lite.

Whatever you think of the reason, it's the reason.
If the post had specifically talked about revisions where the same thing had happened before, you'd be right. But he didn't. He made it obvious in his post that he thought it was the same kind of revision as a DS Lite.

...and not being able to access the stuff controlled by the camera stick and Z-buttons, take proper advantage of the head-tracking capability (due to differences in the display), or actually fit into the memory.

Doubling the memory changes what games you can make. If you have to design every game to work with half the memory, you might as well not put that extra memory in.

>>260746901
The Pocket was just to make it friendly for children's hands.

Japanese parents were getting angry that a games handheld for children was too big, and that caused so many drops. Nintendo agreed and made a smaller one so that kids could actually hold it.

The color was an executive decision, and made only after the original gameboy, light, and pocket were more profitable. Color was meant to be added from the release, but cut because it saved about $30 in production on the initial run.

>>260748326
It's not a retarded business practice if the same console gets a significant hardware upgrade.

New physical buttons and stick, removable battery, and microSD support? That's a pretty substantial upgrade. Gaming handhelds are close to and should be treated like phones, where an incremental upgrade is perfectly substantial because it increases the diversity amongst the handhelds and gives older but still usable options a price reduction.

I don't see why it's a problem.

Hell no, you're a fucking moron if you think that deserves to be in it, AMOLED has a short lifespan compared to LCD and is shit on color reproduction. The only benefit it offers is better blacks and battery life because blacks = off pixels.

Everyone that was fully invested into the 3DS platform was fully invested from the get go. There is no incentive to buy it because they already have the system they want with the circle pad pro cradle and the games they play.

That can be the real reason. most kid started playing it when they were four.

So why didn't Gameboy Color have a backlit screen?

>short life span
My S2 lasted 3 years; no problems, no burn in, no missing colors or nothing. (died to battery dying)
>nothing about business
IT'S REPLACING THE OLD 3DS. This is basically a random price increase unless they sell the handhelds side by side which would be dummmmmmb.
>faceplates
Not the same thing. Faceplates make everything cheap feeling. Remember 360 having swappable faceplates? Stupid (and eventually phased out...)

Lies. Blue subpixels in AMOLED are naturally prone to degradation over time.

Color reproduction consequently gets worse the longer you use it, until the screen goes completely yellow/red due to blue subpixels dying

There is the Wii U for that.

because it was expensive. At the time, to do something like that made a simple gameboy almost double in production costs. To add that to an already more expensive production of a new system, it would push the system far out of the range that yamauchi demanded.
>>
>>260750446
yes, those are problems with OLED technology and the technology has improved
much the same way that TN LCD panel monitors don't have the ABSOLUTELY atrocious viewing angles they once had, too
the AMOLED screen on the S5 is one of the most accurate screens yet

Battery muncher. Even has it is, I remeber my GBC eating quite its amount of it.

It's worth noting that even the old 3DS game will benefit from the New 3DS as described there>>260743727

People who are mad about this just sound fucking stupid. They will only force you to use the new 3DS if the game HAS to use the extra power, and even then Nintendo knows it will lose a lot of sales this way (remember Black 2 was released a full year after the 3DS came out, it was far more profitable to keep it on the DS).

This thing will be exactly like the RAM pack for the N64. It will ultimately be used for a couple of games that just have to use it. Xenoblade seems like it would have to use it, and just couldn't be done otherwise. It's not like Nintendo will purposely put games that wouldn't require the extra power exclusively on it. For example one can expect all the new Pokemon games to work on the standard 3DS. However if they were to decide to port something like Coliseum or Gale of Darkness, it might very well need to use that extra power.

Even that being said, people seem to forget that the 3DS is getting closer to the end of it's life span. It came out February 2011, it's already 3 and a half years into what will probably be a 5 year lifespan.

This could also be compared to the motion plus for Wii. It was released fairly late into the cycle, and was ultimately used for just a couple games, games that which could not of been done with the regular wiimote (Skyward Sword, Resort).

So the question becomes, do you want Nintendo to make these games or not at all? I already have a 3DS, and I'll get the new one eventually. There is no rule that you have to buy it day 1, you can easily wait for more software to come out and a price drop. It's not Nintendos fault if you are an idiot that buys everything up right when it comes out, that sorta makes you sound like an apple fan that buys yearly models.

IPS LCD is still masterrace and more consistent.
IGZO by itself makes displays thinner, so there's also that.
>>
>>260750792
Wasnt even a battery problem. Only one who cared about that was Gunpei. All yamauchi wanted was it to be sold cheap, but still at a profit.
Thats why he forced the VB out. Gunpei asked for another year and a half so he could work with the LED's to not only make it work better (and not only in red) but also to drive down costs as LED was on that threshold of pricing. Yamauchi told him to get it ready to ship that its going to be the next big thing.

IPS LCD has shit response times and motion blur by default due to the fact that it uses sample and hold technology
there's also IPS glow and shit black levels
every display technology has its downsides, but EVERY LCD technology is absolutely shit tier compared to a high end CRT like the FW900
OLED is the closest we can get to it, so you should want that technology to improve
unless we can get someone working on SED or FED monitors

I want Nintnedo to make me free game that run at 120fps with 4KHD resolution and that I can play without needing to buy any system.

Only if they do that will I stop to call them jew
(oaky, if they can make it work on my old NES while keeping all that, I will consider it acceptable, but barely)

>mfw watching nintendrones justify a $250 upgrade to their $250 handheld that only came out 3 years ago
Gameboy color came out 9 years after gameboy and it was STILL just an incremental upgrade.

>>260751772
>and it was STILL just an incremental upgrade
So is the new 3DS to the 3DS. And the GBC came only two years after teh GBPocket.

3 for a brand new system, 2 for a redesign, 1 for a second (limited) redesign.
Nintendo has been popping new shit out about the same pace as atari was. Im kinda shocked no ones mentioned this.
>>
>>260751772
Gameboy Color didn't NEED a substantial tech/power boost. Funny thing about Nintendo is they have good games that can run off a Nokia 3310. Meanwhile Sony can't make a game good without borrowing a $3,000 gaming PC just to show everyone its "good graphics". Pathetic.

Still waiting for the successor to the 2DS/GBA.

Single screen (transparent-ish touchscreen overlaid on top of the normal display), GBA formfactor, two sticks and four shoulder buttons.

>IPS LCD has shit response times and motion blur by default due to the fact that it uses sample and hold technology
Cheap IPS displays are the ones with shit response times. They however, have less motion blur than all other LCD screens. If you get into the more expensive IPS, there is no motion blur, and in addition, the response times are negligible.
