The king of consoles returns. The world is about to get a taste of Nintendo's latest offering and gamers the world over are waiting. Waiting to pick up the games that made their childhood. Waiting to see that great 3D effect in the palm of your hand. Waiting just to get their hands on that monster Nintendo call the 3DS!
Nintendo has not only won back their hardcore audience, they have received fantastic support from the third parties. Super Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil Mercenaries/Revelations, Dead or Alive Dimensions and the mother of all Metal Gear Solid are just a few of the notable games coming to the system. By next week all three territories will finally have a 3DS. And it is going to be amazing.
Nintendo has won back their old fanboys. Their hardcore offering even includes Ocarina of time! The N64 classic which is highly regarded by some as the best game of all time. Modernized in the palm of your hand with 3D standing in the background. Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, Starfox 64: The list goes on!
One cannot fathom what this could have if third parties stick to their guns with the system. Nintendo will only keep up the good work with their offering. Imagine playing F-Zero on this beast. In 3D! Metroid and Donkey Kong are obvious candidates and we may get new favourites like Pikmin or Smash Bros. Perhaps even Nintendo VS Capcom!
Brace yourselves Microsoft and Sony because Nintendo have proved this is not just a kids machine. This is for serious gamers. Third parties may not even get a say in the matter of going on 3DS. They may need to put the games on 3DS to maximise their profits. There is a potential fanbase on there after all. This could easily be Nintendo's best console ever if third parties treat it with the respect it deserves.
I could not wait to pre-order my 3DS fast enough. And it is also a media player so it is definitely worth the money Nintendo are asking. And it isn't like its 599 US dollars. Time for Nintendo to return to the throne of king of the consoles.
With Microsoft closing studios, fewer new exclusive releases are expected for Xbox.
Not sure it ever was. It's upside was day 1 releases from 1st party. Few and far between plus it is just a rental service where you don't pick. It is fairly cheap for now that's a bonus. I think the beat deal in gaming is gamesale on reddit , and watching amazon
"Suddenly", my gosh are people so slow on the uptake.
I've been saying this for years, its just a rental service nothing special, and you don't get to pick what the rental catalogue is nor how long it lasts. Anything can be taken away from you on a whim, even while you keep paying.
You know what the best deal in gaming is? BUY your games on disc / cart, OWN THEM, play them as much as you want, and no one can take them away from you.
Tapes and cartridges from the 80's still work to this day, and people can still enjoy them without having to pay any additional fees. That sounds like a far better deal than a corporate rental service.
I'll probably download 4 of the games they announced coming today over the next month for £9. Seems ok to me.
But then, I tend to play single player games and i rarely revisit so a "rental service" suits me. Pretty much everything I play on PS is via PS+ extra.
It was always overrated. It only ever appealed to a certain subset of gamers anyways, which are the type who don’t care about owning games and are content to just experience them once and move on…or people who wanted to play CoD without buying it. It never seemed that glamorous to me, and I’m not at all surprised it has turned out to be unsustainable for MS.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
Supergiant Games' Studio Director, Amir Rao, has said that he's worried about some unbalanced boons in-game, with nerfs coming soon.
'Time for Nitnendo to return to the throne'
They are in the throne now, so I don't know what you mean by return.
Also, I agree Nintendo have my favourite exclusives. However you speak of it as though it's a fact - it's all down to personal opinion.
Nintendo does make amazing exclusives but they dont last as long as halo or uncharted
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is in my top 3 best games this gen. The level designs for that game are out of this world.
Nintendo do make great games but id like to see them make a more mature themed game, but thats just personal preference the one thing i will say is Nintendo are weak at is story telling. This is where i think sony shines, good thing i have both then ;)
Once again a blog written confusing fact with opinion. Sony has had some awesome exclusives as well in my opinion. And I am not sure how making a few ports to the 3DS proves that Nintendo is for serious gamers now. Why is it that Nintendo supporters immediately think that because they throw a few core games their way that automatically puts them at the same level as Sony or Microsoft? They have virtually hundreds of core games. The 3DS has about maybe about 10 and suddenly it is for the hardcore?
