How will the 3DS survive the competition and is Nintendo doing all right things to make sure it does? We dissect Nintendo's strategy from A to Z. Join the discussion with John Lucas and Nathan Evans now.
Retro gaming console emulator apps are now welcome on the Apple App Store and can even offer downloadable games.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
i dont think it will be as popular as the original DS. however it will still be very successful
The 3DS is doomed to follow the footsteps of the PSP, as far as its games library goes.
People never take into consideration that making a fancier game costs a LOT more money. Games companies aren't in the biz to make you smile on the way to and from work. They don't flush money away, so that fanboys can win fanboy wars, either.
The DS was hot -- and it was cheap to make games for it. There are many, many DS games which cost well under $1M to make.
DS had lots of software... DS games were cheap to make... PSP had less software than DS... PSP games more expensive to make... not a coincidence folks.
The 3ds is already sold out basically......... and on pace to have a bigger launch than the ds had
I dont think its overpriced.I mean wasnt the PSP $249.00 6 years ago when it launched?
If the market dictates that the 3DS is too expensive, it will be $199.00 by the end of the year and sell better.
do people moan so much about the price? to me its fairly priced if not underprices because of its features 3D and to top it, its glasses-less.... also for me it'll be 180 bucks at lunch because i already preordered in december so its WIN-WIN for me!!!!
And im getting the PSP2 of course.
