Yesterday, Nintendo announced a new handheld gaming console called the Nintendo 2DS. The 2DS is priced at $129.99 and for the audience that the product is intended for, that’s perfect. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t like the product and I think the design is awful but that’s fine because the product wasn’t designed for people like me or even you. It was designed by Nintendo to close that price gap between the Wii U and the 3DS.
Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.
Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.
Dan Rizzo says "So this is where we’re at with Nintendo and their continuous colloquy of tedious arguments against emulation. It’s funny how a company that’s so against open-source emulation, uses it to sell commercial products such as the NES and SNES Classic Mini, but release a minimal quantity to drum-up all the hype behind it, only to leave a majority of its fanbase disappointed when struggling to acquire the now collector’s piece."
someone made a good point that older music, movies, and books are far more easier to get access to than games. I think the industry needs to make a change. It's crazy that so much is gone now and I'm willing to pay for the games, but there's literally no way to get them now.
As of late March 2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. It will also no longer be possible to download free content, including game demos.
No surprise, but a sad day for gaming with hundreds of exclusive titles to be lost forever
it's sad that no one is actually outraged by that piece of news ut it's even worse to Sony because Nintendo acknowledges that going forward they would only release classic content thru the Nintendo online membership.
Basically, they are killing the store to create value for Switch and the Nintendo membership.
Agreed.
this thing is at US$ 129, and soon, one year or two, will be under US$99! hell this will sell like crazy in some countrys! handhelds need be like this! cheap and full of good games!
Hmmm. I can't help but raise an eyebrow.
Right now 1st party refurbished 3DS also runs for $129.99 and they have it in pimp purple.
But it isn't. It looks uncomfortable to play and ugly and will confuse the consumers by the name and it even confuses me...
