Head of Team Ninja Yosuke Hayashi is brushing aside concerns that the 3DS's limited battery life will negatively impact the console's appeal.
According to Hayashi, the 3D effect - this is what aggressively drains the 3DS battery - causes too much eye strain to be usable for long periods anyway. "For the battery stuff," he said to VideoGamer.com during an interview last week, "basically, 3D viewing for a long time would be kind of tiring for your eyes, that's why for the hardcore gamer we can switch the 3D depth slider to off."
Referring specifically to Dead or Alive: Dimensions, Team Ninja's 3DS fighter, Hayashi argued how well the game played for anyone trying to conserve the battery life by disabling the 3D effect. "Without 3D viewing we can run the game at 60fps, which the hardcore gamer can enjoy."
The 3DS has an extensive library of games, but due to the consoles low sales initially, a lot of great games flew under the radar of most gamers. Fear not though, as Shawn Long of Nintendo Enthusiast takes a look at some under appreciated 3DS releases from the earlier years of it’s life that you should be sure to check out. Whether you enjoy a good platformer, fighting game, or 3D adventure, there should be something for every 3DS owner to consider in this video.
Good choices. I didn't know the 3DS version of Sonic Gen had different levels than the console versions.

From the earliest days of Leisure Suit Larry, the mere suggestion of sexual activity within a game has been enough to court the ire of both the community and the censors or classification boards of various markets."
3DS weekly deals and sales at Nintendo eShop, Amazon, Frys, eStarland, Best Buy, Gamefly, Walmart, Cowboom and Newegg.
I don't own a handheld console, but lately I have been thinking of buying a Vita or 3DS. I am going to get PS4 on launch day, so should I buy a Vita or 3DS?
i have both and they offer very different experiences, both good in their own right.
I would go vita in your situation because of remote play, cheaper software prices and the games that come with PSplus.
But if you really love nintendo games and love platformers...then 3DS. Not many companies make platformers anymore.
Don't buy either unless you do a lot of gaming on the go.
Especially compared with ps4 next gen console, youll just be disappointed every time you go to play something on a micro screen.
Yea buying a system based on sales. Sounds brilliant I might add.. /s.
I own a PS3, PS Vita, Wii U and 3DS, I had a Xbox 360 but I only enjoyed a few games, I got tired of playing the same games and I realized most the games I was playing on 360 were just multiplats anyway.
Some of those things might not be selling so well, sure, doesn't mean I am not enjoying them. Sales are never a factor in anything I purchase.
I mean seriously who gets all excited about a new systems. Walks into a store or is about to buy it online and thinks to themselves.. Hmm I wonder how many units they have sold.. Any other person in their right mind would just be thinking about how much fun they are going to be having with it not about sales figures.
animal crossing will add more
then we'll gonna get pokemon x y and rune factory4
Vita! unless you're a huge pokemon fan because I only own a 3ds because of pokemon. 3ds has some games little to none in my opinion though. if it wasn't for pokemon I would own a vita.
3DS. Vita still needs a lot more killer apps to become a viable purchase in my opinion. With 3DS, you'll have access to crap ton of great 3DS games like Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate, Etrian Odyssey IV, Luigi's Mansion 2, Mario Kart 7 and Fire Emblem: Awakening while also having access to all DS and DSi games.
"Don't buy either unless you do a lot of gaming on the go."
Is that why some of the handheld games, especially the ones on the 3DS, ends up having more substance than just style? Come on...
"3ds has some games little to none in my opinion though"
Seeing the 3DS as nothing more than a Pokemon machine is ignorance at its finest.
If you asked me, you basically just answered your own question. They are both awesome handhelds, I don't care what anyone says, they both have plenty of great games also but the fact you are getting a PS4 on launch it would just make sense to get a Vita to me.
Or if that doesn't help at all. You should just be looking at each systems games and features. Pick based on what games you currently are more interested in or what features you would get more use out of right now.
People can tell you which is better or list off games they think you should buy it for but in reality, it should be what you want it for. Not what others want.
Part of the reason anyone is buying a 3DS is for the 3D effect and all they can say about extending battery life is 'turn the 3D off'
Remarkable, as if that never occurred to us.
While I do take my portable gaming systems with me at times when I'm out, I do most of my hand held gaming at home where I can be plugged in if need be. So what this means to me, and I'm sure many other gamers is that when you're away from home, you only get 3-5 hours. It isn't ideal, but unless you want the thing to be even more expensive, or to have a battery that gets so hot it wrecks your system or is uncomfortable to hold, this is how it has to be. For now.
3-5 hours has been confirmed max settings people
If you adjust 3d,wifi, brightness, volume, you get 5 plus hours
For comparision the dsi was 3-4 hours max settings to
But people seem to like trolling. At this point its fact
I will not buy the 3DS if it's gonna have a short bettery life.
These are the same jackasses who don't understand why people hate the meth head looking Dante and can't figure out why Enslaved did bad. Why the hell are we listening to their opinion for? We couldn't find anybody else better?
