Nintendo 3DS tech review - CVG

A slider on the right-hand side of the machine allows you to adjust the depth of vision you require. We begun in Metal Gear in a woodland area - and it took some customising to correct our field of vision. But once we did, the splendour that fell out in front of us really was something to behold.

that was a great show, now when do we get a date?

Neo Nugget5056d ago

You think they would miss out on the holiday rush? Couple that with no psp2 and you have a license to print money.

despair5056d ago

how do you review the tech when the processor, memory etc are not known? Hell haven't even played the games live yet.....this is the only worrisome thing for me and the 3ds, someone link me some video of a person actually playing these games.

nnotdead5056d ago

i completely agree. still think the device looks hella cool though.

Trroy5056d ago (Edited 5056d ago )

I agree. The tech sounds really cool, but I'll wait for a price, battery life, and some games, rather than game promises and remakes, before I judge it the Most Awesome Thing.

Awesome
i said 3ds 40 times b4 e3 this year
and ive said it about 150 times today alone.
its on everyones minds.

glad its coming out. I wasnt gonna buy a dsi and my lite L and R triggers are busted and have the unresponsive glitch. cant wait.

shadow27975056d ago

Zelda: OoT 3D?! O__O

It's going to be very difficult for me to find excuses not to buy the 3DS as soon as it comes out. I usually wait for a price-drop or two. Announce Kirby and Donkey Kong Country for the handheld and I'm sold.

Nintendo and Google get roped into Microsoft's FTC defense

Microsoft has now called on Nintendo and Google to aid in its fight with the FTC over its merger with Activision Blizzard.

Jin_Sakai434d ago (Edited 434d ago )

I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.

Neonridr434d ago

PS5 + Switch is honestly the best combo.

Jin_Sakai434d ago

Agreed. Both have amazing first party games!

Orchard433d ago

SteamDeck + Switch.

Xbox and PS games are playable on SD.

badz149433d ago

@Orchard

why would you want to play the worst versions of PS5 and Xbox SX games? the only thing the SD runs better than the original is Switch games

Orchard433d ago

@badz SD plays most games well. But if it's not up to your standards, just get a PC. PC/SteamDeck + Switch.

433d ago
S2Killinit433d ago

PS5 and Switch is definitely the way to go.

Jin_Sakai433d ago

“The Nintendo switch is a kids play thing compared to steam deck. It pummels the switch into the ground.”

Not thanks. I enjoy Nintendo games and love the OLED display.

FinalFantasyFanatic433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

@Orchard,
Your still missing out on alot of PS games doing that, Personally I'd go PS + Switch, but I also have a PC, so for me it's PS + Switch + PC and that gets me almost every game.

One day I'll get a Steam Deck to compliment my PC library of games, maybe when Steam Deck 2 comes out.

433d ago
BehindTheRows433d ago

PS5 + Switch + PC. But, close enough :P

The Wood433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

orchard...are you bored in life. Do you love pantomime or wanna be the lead attorney for Microsoft if all you do is cap for the brand doing the least. No disrespect intended but have a child , wife or play golf or something because you presence is weird. Dont strike me mods..... dude cant stop

thorstein432d ago

Well said. And whatever Xbox "exclusive" that I want, I just get for my PC.

You despise it because of a court battle?

S2Killinit433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Personally I share his sentiments, for what MS is doing to the industry.

Fu£k MS, seriously.

Jin_Sakai433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

“You despise it because of a court battle?“

The fact they’re trying to gobble up the worlds largest 3rd party publisher add over 2 years waiting for system sellers.

S2K - What EXACTLY is MS doing to the industry that you despise so much? Please share your thoughts..

You despise them because of a court case? Feels like an overreaction.

Flawlessmic433d ago

You despise Sony because of what? Great consoles and great game consistenly?

Seems ridiculous hating on the gaming company giving us the most.

Your sd+switch comment is a joke but hey, expect nothing less from you.

notachance433d ago

Honestly it’s kind of amazing how Phil managed to make people like orchard keep defending the console after 2 generations of mediocrity.

thesoftware730433d ago

Lol, I get it..but at this point, what are MS to do? Just sit back and let it be blocked?

Also, remember when other companies agreed with Sony, you didn't seem this perturbed.

porkChop433d ago

What? You're overreacting. This is how literally any court case works. Calling on competitors, witnesses, etc., is standard practice. It's called building a defense. The FTC have been doing the exact same in building their case by calling on Sony for example. You don't build a strong case by making unsubstantiated claims, you need witnesses or documents to back them up.

giovonni433d ago

I mean, it’s logic when it comes to any other company, but it’s an issue when MS does it (builds its case.) It’s way too many emotional comments with no real facts to back it up. Just cause a company says something doesn’t make it factual as specially in the court of law. After reviewing the evidence so far the FTC needs a stronger case.

PapaBop433d ago

If only they put this much effort into actually making their own games.

BehindTheRows433d ago

Exactly. Xbox cheerleaders can drive around this road block all they want, but nothing matters more than this! When they start releasing their OWN games, we can start to credit Microsoft with a contribution to accelerating our medium. Until then, they're simply making useless noise.

CobraKai433d ago

I got all 3 but most of my play time is between PlayStation and Switch…. Yeah MS needs all the help it can get.

JL2930433d ago

Who told you Metroid is months away?

Obscure_Observer433d ago

@Jin_Sakai

"I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point."

Finally! Do it! Bookmarked!

NotoriousWhiz433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

You can hate the CEO / leadership without hating the product. Don't let company politics ruin your enjoyment of a product.

Also, Switch is great. If you don't have one, I can highly recommend it, even with reduced performance compared to the current gen consoles.

BehindTheRows433d ago

I agree with your sentiment, but they go hand-in-hand. Once a company leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you aren't going to desire their products (or may desire them much less than before). And he clearly isn't alone. Xbox's numbers are down all around. That tells me what the public thinks.

In 2023, they have their work cut out for them. If nothing changes, they will eventually fall into obscurity with Nintendo and Sony continuing to truck along doing what they have for over 25 years — providing experiences you cannot get elsewhere. The multitrillion dollar company could learn a thing or two from those mere mortals.

433d ago
Focus40433d ago

Did Microsoft touch down there

Tody_ZA432d ago

My combo is PC and PS5. Switch Games are amazing but Nintendo's infrastructure and marketplace puts me off. Decade old games still go for full price and hardly have specials.

MontyeKristo432d ago

You just now despise MS and Xbox? Bro, who you lying to - you been hating on MS and Xbox for yeeeeeeears.

Your mad because the are attempting to buy a company and are calling in people/companies that could possibly aid them in doing so? If the FTC and the UK's counterpart are fighting it - should they just be "okay, okay, you win!" Nah, that's stupid.

Y'all mad for what reason? They are trying to build a bigger better brand and y'all mad. Not like MS and Sony don't own near the same amount of studios, now. It's been lopsided for years but you've never complained or cried foul when Sony was buying up companies/studios.

Get over yourself.

This is crazy. I can't believe MS dragged Ninty into this drama 😆

PureBlood433d ago

Hopefully they tell them to bugger off!

MEGANE432d ago

This is what nintendo gets for back stabbing Sony, by entertaining MS stupid offers instead of siding with Sony help them, o well, at this point Nintendo seems to be the more stable of the 3 companies, and they compite with no one at the moment.

jonny897433d ago

Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.

Orchard433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

How will this acquisition have an impact on Googles Android store revenue?

And how are MS trying to diminish their store revenue today? Microsoft even sell devices that run Android and have the Play Store as their marketplace…

Orchard433d ago

I did. I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft planning to pull COD mobile and Candy Crash from the Android Play Store.

Hofstaderman433d ago

Not to mention MS has been a proxy agent in the Apple VS Google saga. So don’t be surprised if MS is banking on that. Slimeballs

Thundercat77433d ago

Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?

badz149433d ago

Maybe we will get news that Nintendo and Google both claim MS approach as harassment too after this.

FinalFantasyFanatic433d ago

I smell an incredible amount of desperation on Microsoft's part, it's getting to the point where the desperation is disgusting.

XiNatsuDragnel433d ago

Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?

lodossrage433d ago

They are, and they'll probably fight the subpoena just like Sony did.

"Google and NoA requested extensions to the deadline to limit or kill their respective subpoenas"

10 Things Everyone Chooses To Ignore About Nintendo

Nintendo have done some really questionable things in the past, and it's time someone exposed their not-so-family-friendly past.

Spenok1586d ago

This is a really bad list.... but only because the title sucks and is so all encompassing. If it pointed out that the FANBOYS choose to ignore these things, than sure. But otherwise, these things are well known and documented.

rainslacker1585d ago

Some of the things are really dumb. Especially the connection to the Yakuza. Their reasons are completely baseless, and really idiotic.

“ Once Upon A Time, Nintendo Made Erotic Playing Cards”

“ Nintendo Ran A Love Hotel”

“ Nintendo Was Associated With Gangsters”

“ They Once Had A Cartoon That Was Awful”

Wtf? Those aren’t even gaming related. At this point this dumb site is as bad as GamingBolt, if not worst.

“ They Charge People To Play Classic Games”

In what world do you get to play classic games for free on other console? 🤦‍♂️

1586d ago
rainslacker1585d ago

i used to like the Mario cartoon. On friday's they'd have the Zelda cartoon.

The yakuza connection was that the Yakuza preferred Nintendo playing cards, and Nintendo did nothing to stop them from buying them...because that's what Nintendo should do for some reason. I'd say most gamers don't realize that nintendo didn't start with computer games. "Love Hotels" aren't illegal, anywhere. Unless they were providing escorts, I don't see the problem.

And the last one, yeah, everyone charges for that. No one gives their stuff away for free just because it's old.

Tross1585d ago (Edited 1585d ago )

Yeah, I'd love for a free service like VC, but I'm willing to pay for the actual games.

Nintendo axes debut mobile game Miitomo

Nintendo has announced the closure of Miitomo, which it launched in 2016 as its first foray into smartphone gaming.
