Why Nintendo Crushed Sony's Heart on Valentines Day: 3DS Stomps Vita

Isn’t it a grand day? It’s Valentines day after all, the day of romance and love. This is the day that people share their adoration for their significant other more than any other. It’s a day of hearts, roses, and chocolates. Well apparently Nintendo is one that forgot what today is and Sony definitely won’t be sending any chocolates or roses their way. It’s actually rather ironic that Nintendo chose today, Valentines day, to hold their Nintendo Direct Conference online.

when a nintendo fan-boy tells you that nintendo is the best, it is hard to believe him. .when a true gamer tells you, that nintendo is the best he sounds like a fan-boy . sometimes the truth gets scrambled up with damn fanboyizm .

GribbleGrunger4104d ago

Jees, when did the typical fanboy comment become headline material?

R_aVe_N4104d ago

I know right lmoa only on N4G would this get approved

TheRealSpy4104d ago

People only complain about the troll headlines when it's against Sony. If it's in Sony's favor, then it's just fine.

freezola754103d ago

Well said GG.. this is amazing... not really... but this is trolling at it's finest.

No hit from me... peace.

TongkatAli4104d ago

Opinion piece ? More like piece of crap. You like my shining new shoes and want them.

BigStef714104d ago

These articles are annoyinh. Why can't we just enjoy both systems? I certainly am

MikeMyers4104d ago

You can and you should. The industry thinks there needs to be winners and losers to sell headlines. Problem is that attitude trickles down to the forums. I take it all with a grain of salt.

dangert124103d ago

online fees
lack of diversion etc

Hingle_Mcringleberry4103d ago

On the 3DS? Go home dangert, you're drunk again.

dangert124103d ago

''On the 3DS? Go home dangert, you're drunk again. ''
i never said anything about the 3ds nor did the person i was replying to, i don't drink either.
but your comment made me lol so its all good

contradictory4103d ago

you can.
i enjoy both 3DS and Vita
also i did like both PS3 and X360
and i'm sure that Wii U isn't "doomed"
just relax and ignore annoying fanboys

BenRage34103d ago

A completely rational and logical person on NG4? That is a rarity indeed. Gamers are so overly sensitive and insecure these days. I really wish more people could enjoying playing "games" more than playing "systems". I could care less what system a good game comes out on. I'm a gamer. I play games.

rainslacker4103d ago

I do.
Love my Vita
Just purchased a 3DS XL this past week and loving that.:)
Love my PS3, Like the Wii U just want some games to play on it, but the ones I have are mostly fun.:)

Play games, not systems.

jukins4104d ago

lol 3ds crushed sony's heart when they dropped to 169.99. because before that it was all "vita is a damn good value and will crush the 3ds"

LackTrue4K4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

"Ouch"

Lol..

Veneno4103d ago

Its true. Well said jukins. Man it would have been very very interesting to see 3DS and Vita go head to head at the same price of 250. I think Vita would have been very competitive. Nintendo are scared shytless to be the same price as any sony console. They know their weak hardware would be exposed.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno7d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers16d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken16d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g16d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing16d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H916d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola16d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66916d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle16d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
