Nintendo Blames 3DS Price Drop on Gamecube

[jungleboogiemonster]

Maybe nobody cares about 3D? It's just a lot of hype for something that only makes video look "neat" and provides no real additional functionality.

Even at the new price.. I don't care.
I have a DS-lite and I'm fine with that.

[citation][nom]Skiddywinks[/nom]Where the heck are you getting your information?Horrible textures, some ripped from the first game and halved, massive lack of dynamic objects, worse lighting, smaller draw distance despite easier to render backdrops, simpler mechanics and a much more scripted story.Here's just one video, but I have seen better user made ones. It still gets most of the points across though. Some effects have been improved (like the particles etc), but in almost every area, technically speaking at least (the rest is subjective), Crysis 2 is worse than Crysis 1. Crysis 2 does do a better job of getting the most out of hardware, but I honestly don't think it would be that big a difference if they didn't also cut so much out.[/citation]

While the new patches address a lot of quality issues, I still agree. Crysis 2 lacks a majority of interactivity that made Crysis a lush world.

Not to mention I can't play Crysis 2. It crashes if I load a saved game.

$170 is a good price for a relatively new handheld. There arent much games yet, but their coming. just needs a smash bros and Ill buy it.

Should have used a DS XL screen size for the 3DS, I was actually planning on buying one until I found out it was the original size. Now I want to get the android 3d instead...

Def tuff to be a gaming only company since the other two console brands are part of huge companies. Hope Nintendo can pull it together and continue to be an innovative gaming company. I also believe the 3DS is hurt by iPad and similar smart phone devices.

The 3D gimmick didnt work as well as Nintendo forcasted.

wow, another article where i get down voted for stating an opinion that a fps could be better on the wiiu than on the pc...

im not even saying anything that isnt true, im just thinking that if nintendo realy wants to push the fps as must play on the wiiu that is what they will have to do.

can anyone tell me where im wrong in what i said?

Microtransactions work great in League of Legends. If a free game is good, you're going to want to buy stuff just to help promote it, unless you're a cheap bastard...

You have poor spelling. That invalidates everything you say. Come on guy .

A price drop now to $179, and when the PS Vita is released...maybe $129.

sadly its painful to use my pinkies, so until speech reconision becomes a viable option, non caps will stay, and grammar? well... i write how i would sound if i was saying those words.
