stitchesnscars Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nintendo: "Alright, we did a pretty good job screwing up our biggest cashcow, the Nintendo Wii by giving it a pointless Touchpad controller that no one's going to develop for. Any ideas on how to screw up our second-largest cashcow, the 3DS?" Iwata (high on cocaine): "Give it a second analog stick half the size of a button" It's like they want to fail. Each year since since the turn of the century\millennium Nintendo continually supplies me with a moment that asks"WTF are you doing?" this is no exception. Do they have anyone over there from the 90's that wants to supply us with something that we actually want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidhero99 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 But how much longer can Dedicated handhelds last in this mobile market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0LD3N_PR1ME Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 IMO the design looks terrible, I can't imagine this making many sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 What makes it worse, is that in addition to the wonky ass "stick", they also added extra "Z" buttons right next to the L and R buttons, and I mean RIGHT next to them. I can see it now, constantly hitting L/R instead of the ZL/ZR, and vice versa, while trying and failing to rotate the camera with that "stick". They had the right idea to add in an extra stick for camera control and two more shoulder buttons, but the execution is just horrible. And really, they should've also upgraded the awful circle pad to a real stick, like the Vita has. This whole thing is just an enormous waste of potential. And what makes it even worse than all of that, is that they're making games exclusively for it, since it's also more powerful. Like, they're porting Xenoblade Chronicles to it, but only the "new" 3DS. So, it's essentially an entirely new system, except with an incredibly confusing name. You think they'd have learned from the Wii U, but I guess not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoChiink_ Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The re design is great, dont see why its getting so much hate and to the people who say its going to fail it will proobably outsell the vitas lifetime sales in little over a year. Im a sony fanboy but this mode doesnt deserve all this one sided hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle-Sensei Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They're making games exclusive... To a 3DS with an "extra" analog stick and trigger button. Nintendo, I love you to death and all, but this is your worst idea yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a sony fanboy but this mode doesnt deserve all this one sided hate It really isn't. Like another user said, the idea behind it is sound but the execution is awful. Take a look at that thing and tell me the additional analog stick is in a decent place, or the new button in the rear is in a good place. I expect it to outsell the Vita, that doesn't mean this was a good re-design. Parker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEET_Weeaboo Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think the 3DS has always been a weak console and then when they showed of that circle pad pro add-on I figured the then un-announced 3DSXL would have it built in, I guess I was a little off, but anyways while I think it is a good idea, the LZ RZ look terrible, and so does the second "stick" (It looks like a button, or maybe a nub? WTF is that). They should have really worked harder on the consoles design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Tron Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I thought Activision was bad for over milking several video games, but Nintendo is over milking an entire god damn system. I think I'll wait a year for the 3DSi... Then another for the 3DSi XL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Well they arent exactly calling it a second anolog stick, they are simply calling it a C stick (as far as I can tell its all these site calling it a second analog stick and bashing it for it.) As with the gamecube I dont remember too many games that depended solely on the C stick for important things. I do however think that its too small, the name is simply just stupid, and the fact that it looks exactly like the regular and XL 3DS kinda puts me off from buying one. Like a sucker I will buy it though. Mainly because I dont want to be left out from playing all Nintendo exclusive titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devourerplease Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 But you guys, it has changeable faceplates. Changable. Faceplates. It is ultimately a confusing prospect, especially with "exclusive" New 3DS games, but to a new customer, it's an exciting proposition, especially if it means the New 3DS will get some more graphically advanced titles, or if existing ones will run smoother on the new handheld.

Im a sony fanboy but this mode doesnt deserve all this one sided hate It's a great design for who and what exactly? It's Nintendo creating more confusion within their own products with similar naming conventions. There are still tons of people to this day that don't know that the wii u is a successor to the wii. In order to sell these things there has to be some product differentiation in the names at least. Why are they trying to fix something that wasn't broken. Since someone over there is in the fixing mood how about they spend a little bit more time on their console issues.

The name doesn't really make sense until you look at it from the perspective of a parent buying for a child. When they ask a clerk for a 3DS and the clerk asks "Which one", they can say "The new one", which is *exactly* what it's called. As far as the Wii U goes, it has a LOT of good titles either coming out or already out for it this year alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that there are a lot of sales for the units from the parents to their kids but they could have just as easily called it something else and it still would have been "the new one" to them.

Venocide Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 And I was so hyped to hear Xenoblade Chronicles was being ported to the 3DS, the fact that it's exclusive to this new 3DS makes me sick. I will not me upgrading and I hope this backfires super hard on Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniq Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I was gonna buy a 3DS around Christmas time but now I guess I'm gonna wait a little longer and get a Wii U or Xbox One instead. Missed Xenoblade on the Wii, glad there will be a new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
