Nintendo: "3DS has a quality that's hard to challenge"

Nintendo comments on numbers based around its year-to-date software sales for the Nintendo 3DS during its Nintendo Direct press conference.

Nintendo are gaining 'Cult' status.

Thatguy-3104044d ago

When it comes to handheld Nintendo can't be matched because they are THE handheld company. Everything changes when the conversation changes to consoles though.

The only thing Nintendo is gaining is a bigger head

Maybe if they were new or something.

Jek_Porkins4044d ago

I was super surprised by all the new 3DS games announced, I kind of thought we'd see Majora's Mask 3D, which would have been easier for them to make then the new game they are putting out, but it looks pretty darn epic.

I personally would much rather have a new Zelda than a remake.

SactoGamer4043d ago

You're getting a new Zelda game.

i actually hated the 3ds cause i never tried it, until the other day i went into gamestop and was playing the new 3ds luigis mansion with the 3d effect on full, it was pretty fun actually, it wasn't 3d more like in box 3d, but it felt like a new dimension inside a small screen, pretty cool, but what sucked so much, *this being my first time using a 3ds* is that you have to be looking at the screen right in the middle directly in order to get the effect, if you move slightly any other direction is doesn't work, which sucks, but neat idea.

3DS is a really solid system. I picked one up last month after I got my tax return for it's JRPG and exclusive offerings.

The 3D though is worthless IMO. It's a cool gimmick, but I find it distracting as it's not well done enough to be seamless. Good 3D is the 3D that you don't notice because it's just natural. The movie Avatar had many examples of amazing 3D, because it was never really in your face or obvious.

Kalowest4044d ago

No, I have both and the 3DS is still ahead.

Moncole4044d ago

It says hi from a phone because its so far behind the 3DS.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
