ok so maybe i have been mislead but its not about what games the have

It has plenty of hardcore games. Such as: COD: Black Ops, COD: MW2, WaW, Dead Space, Resident Evil.


its about the availability of the games. i live in kuwait and the are no stores specifically for games which sucks. so therefore it dosent matter about the games they make if they are in stock then the problem is solved. if its not in stock well then people cant get the good games wich makes nintendo lose profit in countries

Bankruptcy in gaming aspects means no one will buy your console/games.


well in kuwait and in the middle east that is the case in the middle east. people are ignoring the wii and going for the xbox or the ps3

games like COD need good internet access maybe its just for me but the wii's wifi is nothing compared to ps3 or xbox and it can get laggy. so the fun of these type of multiplayer games has been taken out.

I'm lucky enough that I was in town where they were trying them out. I tried it, it sucked. Lag, poor graphics and an excuse for 3D

Nintendo helped make video gaming famous.

Unfortunately I dont trust, so I will not take your word for it. Until I see one my self (which I probably wont until they are $150, so several years) will I then decide.

Really Nintendo's only weakness, unless you are a graphics w****(which unfortunately most people ARE), is their lack of hardcore games. Most of the games are "Pick up and play" games like Mario Galaxy and stuff. I played Mario Galaxy 1 but don't care for 2, and games like that are fun at first but you really aren't developing anything. There is no character development or story, which aren't really expected from a platforming games.

The games that are worth playing are far and few imo. The only wii games I truly think are worth playing are Super Smash Brothers Brawl And The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princes. SSBB for the fighting fun combined with all the unlockables, and Twilight Princess for the Story, as with all other Zelda games for me.

To be honest though the best use my Wii has offered is Home Brew. I have several Themes and Applications for my Wii that Nintendo COULD have included, but for SOME REASON did not. DVD playability. Wii hardware CAN play DVDs, but Nintendo didn't let them...? Thankfully I can now play DVDs on my wii.

Another huge use is emulation. I can play NES, SNES, Sega, GB, GBA, Atari, N64, and even Play Station games on my Wii. This is really its only purpose to me now.


At this point I realized this thread is about the 3DS but Ill leave what I just typed about Wii.

I suspect I will get a 3DS in a few years or whenever they go down to $150 one day(HOPEFULLY they will).

For the DS sytems...What I didnt like was how they had Nintendo DS, and then Nintendo DS Light. SERIOUSLY? Who in the HELL makes a system with an unlit screen? They pulled the same crap with the Game Boy Advance and the Game Boy Advance SP. So why release such an unlit version first?

Great Games on the DS dont seem to be too plentiful. In my Newest Nintendo Power Issue, the results for the Nintendo Power awards are in. The best RPG on DS is voted Dragon Quest 9. I have that game and I don't consider it that great. I beat then I was done. The only games i care for on DS are Pokemon Games. Pokemon Games are the only Reason I bought my DS in the first place for.

To wrap this up, I will by a 3DS if it ever goes to $150. The only reason I will be it will probably be whatever the first Pokemon game on it will be.

Stop right there, Haki.

You are looking at mainstream, popular games. I think you haven't looked at the Wii's game library for such hardcore games. You want character development and a story? There's plenty of that. Off my shelf: SSBB (which you've talked about), Phantom Brave, Phantom Brave: We Meet Again, Monster Hunter Tri, SoulCalibur Legends, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn.

RPGs, Adventure, and Action-Adventure. So please, don't tell us that the Wii doesn't have SQUAT for a library involving development and story.

To be honest though the best use my Wii has offered is Home Brew. I have several Themes and Applications for my Wii that Nintendo COULD have included, but for SOME REASON did not. DVD playability. Wii hardware CAN play DVDs, but Nintendo didn't let them...? Thankfully I can now play DVDs on my wii.


And you seriously care about this? I thought gaming consoles were for, y'know, gaming?

Generation-1 DS did have a backlight, good sir. Albeit one that didn't blind your eyes with intense light that sapped its battery life. The DS went from strong, durable, dimmer, and a stronger set of stereo speakers to flimsy, fragile, brighter, and lower-quality speakers. The third generation of the DS added a camera.

Big whoop.

Again, actually browse the game library and give the underground games a chance. Some of them actually get higher ratings than those that are in the spotlight. For arguing your case on the faults of Nintendo, your arguments sure aren't holding water.

Ah I realize now that what I said there was stupid. I have Monster Hunter Tri(have about 300 Hours gameplay on it) and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn.

And you seriously care about this? I thought gaming consoles were for, y'know, gaming?


I do completely disagree on that though. It could have easily played DVDs. I know nearly everyone has a DVD player or something that can play DVDs, but about 6 months ago my DVD player broke and some friends brought some movies over and I was pissed. That is irrelevant now though I have a DVD player and also an Xbox. And for the media and themes...Most people compare the three main consoles together, and considering the Xbox and PS3 have these options, alot of people expect the Wii to have them also.

I didn't know it had a light, the only time I played one was some kid (not really my friend) I met had one and we were outside. As for the light being blinding I always have it all the way up and I tend to crank up my TV and monitor brightness also. Yes I still have my eyesight. I would say it is personal preference whether you are using a brighter backlight.

I have 17 DS games , but the only games I want to pick up and play again even years after I bought them are Pokemon. I tend not to buy games as often any more unless I have seen extensive gameplay of it, to make sure It is something I want. After looking at my games shelf and seeing I have so many games, I don't just want to play every thing I hear is good.

Your right that the wii does have a good library, but Hardly any games I buy I consider worth it years later when I don't play them anymore. I don't want to buy a game and have it sit on a shelf after I beat it.
For arguing your case on the faults of Nintendo, your arguments sure aren't holding water.


I didn't want it to sound like I disliked Nintendo, which I obviously don't considering I have 110+ Nintendo titles (over every system) dating back to the NES all the way up to the Wii, and I am a subscriber to their magazine, but I have very high standards when It comes to games. I don't want to play games to pass time or have a nice quick story, it is a hobby (yeah call me a nerd).

I only have 8 wii games and the only ones I ever want to play now are SSBB and sometimes MHT. Even a hardcore game like MHT where I have ~300 hours I feel I have done everything. Thats probably the longest time I have ever spent on a single game for Nintendo , except maybe Pokemon Crystal when it came out, I was obsessed with it. And the only game I have ever speant more time than that on on any system is Morrowind, which wins by an astronomical gap. It was my life then, and I still play ~9 years later. And Oblivion but not as much as Morowind. On no Nintendo Game, out of ALL the Nintendo games I have, have I spent anywhere near that.

I admit It was wrong and stupid to judge the entire library just from my 8 games, but I also judge a games quality from what I hear from others. So unless I hear a game is not a game, but a phenomenal experience in another world, I will never play it.

I already said but I <3 Nintendo. I would have the same complaints for the other "consoles" regarding FPS games, but that is a tale for another time, as in never.

u guys dont get it ITS NOT ABOUT THE GAMES!!! its about their availability lets say you have 20 game stores and about 5000 people visit it a month and only 5 of those have these great hardcore games then there is still 75000 people who are missing out on this

and i think that will be the same with the 3ds. the hardcore games are just not gonna be available in every game store and thats what in my opinion nintendo are lacking. making games available everywhere thys it will limit Nintendo's customers. as for the other 2 consoles they will soon have the upper hand in the market. since microsoft recently released fable 3 and sony with assassins creed: brotherhood. they tend to be more available than nintendo's hardcor games

And how does this have anything to do with gaming? You quoted me, I thought it was meant for explaining to me how it does, debunking my post?

I didn't know it had a light, the only time I played one was some kid (not really my friend) I met had one and we were outside. As for the light being blinding I always have it all the way up and I tend to crank up my TV and monitor brightness also. Yes I still have my eyesight. I would say it is personal preference whether you are using a brighter backlight.


So why does having a very bright light make it better? I don't have to reiterate by saying the first model had a light, and it was perfectly capable of projecting everything clearly without any areas too dim to not see. So why does it make it better? How does it make the second model better, compared to the first? And what of the other features of the first DS model that deems the second model inferior? You dodged those areas.

I would think the selection of games is a great deal when discussing which console is best. Beforehand, not being able to buy a game on the shelf because it was out of stock was a problem. Now, however, we can order these new games online and have it shipped to your house. The selection of the games is very important, but the availability is not. That's more of a business sect.

as for the other 2 consoles they will soon have the upper hand in the market. since microsoft recently released fable 3 and sony with assassins creed: brotherhood. they tend to be more available than nintendo's hardcor games


This is business and marketing, with other variables such as the stores the games are being sold to and how many games the company released. How does this affect Nintendo, though? They aren't having any problems with getting their games sold on shelves, last I check. In fact, Nintendo's sales are rising much higher than that of the other two competitors. And it's from a different link I gave above! Also those two games sucked nyeeehehehehehehe....

I like all the nintendo poroduct this one seems good.


Pardon? How come? Why state something and not back it up?

why would anyone pay for s*** graphics


Why are graphics important to you in a game? It should be THE last thing on your mind when reviewing a product.

bad gameplay, and a game system that has only a handful of games that dont have an annoying high pitched tone whenever words come on the screen. nintendo.... give up


Er...What? At any rate, it's clear you are heavily biased against Nintendo, as there are plenty of games that have awesome gameplay, storyline, and mechanics, without having that....high-pitched....tone..thingymabober.

Well, I don't know much about the new 3DS but I think it does not worth it. I played a normal DS and I think the PSP is way better in most of aspects and the new PSP seems to be even better. The DS games are not so cool even though there is the touch screen thing. If Nintendo do a better job, the DS will be worth to buy some day.

Average Hater: DS is sucky and the games are lame so are the graphics. I'm not a real gamer since I only care about graphics (which should be the least important thing in games.) I also don't like Nintendo since they make games that are childlike, I like my call of duty and fps blood bath games more. None of my points are valid or have proper support so my whole post is just padded spam with bad spelling.

What's cool? Do you buy console because your friends thinks it's cool? Not by how fun a game is?


i guess i have OCD cuz if a game has bad graphics, i get pissed. somehow the PSP has better graphics why cant nintendo do the same thing..


No you just don't appreciate video games properly. I get pissed when people think that graphics are the only thing that matters.
