This new 3DS has to be a fake

[dreamcast4ever83]

I agree with the comment above

Also nintendo said it was a mistake for them to launch at 250.00 come to find out the wii u will cost the same as ps vita


...........hmmm which one will i get? Ya bra size

[dreamcast4ever83]

With the way Sony has been handling the Vita, they should have done what Nintendo did with the 3DS and dropped the price, instead of wanting to stick to their guns.

Having pride for your products is all well and good, but it won't matter much if no one wants to buy it and you aren't giving people good incentive to do so.

Can i get an amen brother!

I agree


Also I played resident evil revolations and while it would be nice to have that second pad to quick turn to see enemys i did not have a hard time with one

An exercise in futility, courtesy of the clueless N. The 3DS is now less favourable to me than the Atari Lynx

Wait, so they don't have a second stick, you're upset. They make an addon for a second stick, you're upset about that too, they make a bigger version, you're upset because a second stick isn't built in, they make a bigger version of the addon, you're upset about that too? How on earth does this make the system less favorable, at all?

And this post here brings up a pretty good reason as to why we didn't get a second stick on this new 3DS: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.ph ... tcount=259

Actually, the reasoning really seems quite simple, unless I'm missing something, and if I'm not, it's strange more people haven't realized the actual problem just throwing a second stick into the system would cause.

The reasoning would seem to go back to the original Circle Pad Pro which, since it wasn't built in, it needed some other method to communicate with the 3DS. This method was Infrared and if my understanding is right it's how games know when the CPP is connected. And that's where the problem comes in: Just building a second stick directly into the system wouldn't work since without it using Infrared, the current CPP games would have no idea what to do with it and would just ignore it (a potential solution to this would be to have the built in second stick communicate using IR anyway, but that would mean the inability to use the IR sensor to communicate with anything else due to interference from the second stick, so that's really no good). Or in other words: A second stick built into the system would not be able to have backwards compatibility with the current CPP-supported games.

That's naturally quite an issue and would lead to a great deal of confusion among people if they tried to use a dual-sticked XL in such games, like RE: Revelations and it didn't work. But of course, the problems wouldn't only be with the current games, but would extend into the future as well: If the XL had two sticks built in, since it wouldn't be using IR, that would mean developers would need to add support for the CPP and the second stick on the XL separately, as they'd each be using different methods to communicate with the system. And even the developers who'd want to support a second stick probably wouldn't want to bother with something like that.

Pretty much, despite it hardly being an elegant solution, keeping the Circle Pad Pro was pretty much the best and only way of addressing such problems. The door was pretty much shut on any other ones the day the original 3DS shipped without a second Circle Pad. Any other solutions would just either lead to fragmentation of the userbase, breaking support for previous games, or both, so really, thinking about it, continuing the Circle Pad Pro for both versions of the 3DS really seems to be the only real solution to me.

As much as I enjoyed my DSLite, I still believe the 3DS adds absolutely nothing substantial to the experience. I highly doubt we will witness the breadth and variety of the DS's library either.

That reasoning quote is the dumbest thing I have read in a long time. A simple switch to switch between CPP internal infrared or external infrared connection would've done the job...

Maybe they are waiting for a second revision?...

[GameMasterGuy]

Nintendo doesn't really support the CPP, that's more of Capcom's thing.

I just need to say everyone is entitled to there opnions that's what is great about america but the 3ds is a fantastic system and it's just been out not that long and already some great game's have been made and so many more exclusive title's are coming.

It seem's dumb to point care towards little things that don't effect gameplay. Nintendo knows what there doing they have been around longer then sony or xbox. Have some faith

[GameMasterGuy]

Sega had been making games longer than Sony when the PS1 came out, look what happened to them.

I think you are taking a video game system a little too seriously...
